NO GO NO FLY ZONE…

The BBC have been vigorous in determining that a NO FLY zone is not acceptable; A Biased BBC reader provides further insight;

“The No Fly Zone is ano go area for the BBC…they are against it as with all military actionhowever ‘justified’

Today we are told that a majority of Britains are also against a no fly zonebecause of our experiences with imposing unwanted (and illegal?) militarysolutions upon other countries which have been unsuccessful.

On Victoria Derbyshire (presented by Rachel Burden today, see link) this was the defaultBBC position. It was unfortunate that they hadn’t briefed their guest, a Libyandoctor, who told us his father, in Libya, had called for a NFZ 2 weeks ago,Libyans are still calling for a NFZ…when asked what do Libyans want hereplied they are demanding ‘Please can we have a No Fly Zone.’

Couldn’t be much clearer.

To us maybe…not to the BBC whose reporter jumped in to tell us that actuallythe American defence secretary Robert Gates doesn’t believe NFZ’s will besuccessful as it is attack helicopters that are the problem…it’s all verytechnical and can’t be rushed….these damned excitable Libyans who just don’tunderstand…surely they can put up with being bombed and shelled whilst we getmulti-lateral agreements at the UN and get some decisive paper shuffling doneto make clear our anger at unfolding events.

Yes I’m sure those underwater helicopters can avoid detection in a no fly zone!  I’m not even going to contrast the reactions with those at the time of Israel’sassault on Hamas in 2009.”

CAN YOU TRUST THE BBC TRUST?

A Biased BBC reader informs;

” There was a revealingarticle in “The Villager” on 4th March 2011 (a local free newspapercovering E. Northamptonshire). It was about a speech that Chris “EU”Patten made to sixth form pupils at Oundle School. He spoke on the growingthreat of climate change, which he perceived to be “the most urgent ofchallenges”, and said “.. this generation ought to have recognisedthe problem of climate change much earlier and tackled it with moredetermination ..”
Further, he predicted that “.. the 21st century will be dominated not bynation states, but by ideas…” (of course, he meant present states, not thestate that is being formed, i.e. the disastrous EUSSR which will completelyoverwhelm and bankrupt us within a few years).

So when he is installed in the place of Michael Lyons, we can be very sure hewill not be insisting the BBC is balanced in their reporting of climate change,or of the EU. Indeed, under his chairmanship, we can expect the bias to getworse. “

IMPARTIAL AS ALWAYS

What an inspired appointment !

“The BBC is facing fresh concerns about political bias after appointing an outspoken left-winger as the editor of Question Time. The corporation yesterday announced that Glasgow-based Nicolai Gentchev has been handed the role after the previous editor quit over the decision to move the show to the Scottish city. But last night it emerged that the BBC employee had written a series of book reviews and articles for left-wing publications such as Socialist Review and the International Socialism Journalism.”

Gosh, do you think that this appointment of Comrade Gentchev might effect the careful balance achieved by Question Time? 😉

I KNOW NOTHING!

In Fawlty Towers, it was one of Manuel’s proudest declarations. “I know nothing, Mr Fawlty”. That got laughs. But what about an interesting story that suggests Ed Miliband declared he “knew nothing” about what was going on in Tunisia just before he went on the Andrew Marr programme? And what a stroke of luck that Marr decided not to discuss the Tunisian situation! For full details visit  Mark Wallace’s post here. Is it possible that the BBC is protecting the rather odd Ed? Surely not?

BOW DOWN TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Interesting interview with Liam Fox on Today at 7.49am. The item under discussion was no fly zones above Libya and the BBC were advancing their usual agenda. 1. The mighty UN must give permission otherwise any action would be illegal. (hint hint) 2. Even if there was to be a no fly zone, it must be for “humanitarian purposes” – heaven forbid that there would be military objectives. 3. There could be no attack on Libyan Air Defence capabilities since that would be..erm…war-like. The BBC is a primary advocate for supplication to the corrupt degenerate United Nations and in this situation it shows how the only form of action against the thug Ghadaffi is…inaction. But lots of pious words, of course.

PUBLIC SECTOR BLUES…

10 Comments

When Gordon Brown raided and ruined private sector pensions, I don’t seem to recall the comrades at the BBC getting too agitated, can you? But now today, when the Government seeks to bring a degree on equality to public sector pension provision, the horror of it all. Lord Hutton was on Today and Breakfast News and was, as expected given a hard time by the BBC. On Today, they trotted on trade unionist leader Dave Spart (or something like that!) to whinge and bleat about the sheer unfairness of it all for his underpaid oppressed masses. He was careful not to attack Hutton per se but rather heap all the blame and guilt on the Conservatives. At every point on every issue, the BBC acts as a conduit for class war driven by the Left against the Conservatives and worst of all, the Conservatives do not fight back. The BBC seem incredulous that public sector workers must be treated the same as private sector workers – to the rest of us it is incredible that they aren’t already.

HELP HELP, CHRISTIANS ARE OPPRESSING MUSLIMS!

A Biased BBC contributor writes…..


“A remarkable tale inwhich a lot is said but what actually happened is hidden.

BBC radio news tells us that there have been riots between Muslims andChristians in Egypt…caused by Christians who blocked a road in protest abouta church that had been burnt down. No indication of who had burnt the church down though.

In the web report they report both Muslims and Christians were killed….thoughit was almost all Christians who died…(how unlike Gaza in which every deathis labelled and blame apportioned)….in fact there have been no confirmedMuslim deaths.

The BBC is quick to report that ‘Egypt’s Sunni authority has urged Muslims tohelp rebuild the church, calling its destruction un-Islamic.’ and later ‘TheGrand Imam of al-Azhar issued a statement on Tuesday condemning the attack onthe church in Atfih, Hilwan governorate, as “a distortion ofIslam”….oh and later to reinforce the message ‘Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayyibcalled on Muslim residents of the town to help start rebuilding the church andto refrain from sectarian violence, Egypt’s official news agency, Mena,reported’

So we have established that the attacks were nothing to do with Islam…in factit was the Christians who were to blame for enflaming the situation….

‘The violence erupted when Coptic protesters blocked a highway in the Egyptiancapital, protesting against the burning of the church in the province ofHilwan. The rally angered Muslims who wanted to pass through.’

So we have a church burnt to the ground and a village attacked by severalthousand Muslims, then up to 15,000 Muslims along with the Egyptian Army attackand fire upon the Coptic Christians killing and injury many….with possibly noMuslim casualties, and yet the BBC tries to paint a picture of Muslim tolerance and peace contrasted with Christian belligerence.
