ORDE, ORDE

By | |
2 Comments

The BBC has come to rely on Sir Hugh Orde, President of the ACPO cabal, to act as a counter for any Government proposal that might mean more effective policing. They had him on Today this morning in order that he could shoot down the suggestion coming from the Coalition that water-cannon could be deployed on our streets to prevent future riots. Orde has also been vocal in damning the suggestion that local people might choose to elect Police Commissioners. He is the very personification of the smug “elite” and the BBC runs to him each time  it wants to undermine Theresa  May.

NOT ALL WIKILEAKS ARE GOOD

It appears that some Wikileaks are more equal than others.

As we all know, the BBC has spent the past few weeks regaling us with all sorts of “insights” care of Mr Assange. The more embarrassing for the USA the greater the space afforded to the leaks but I note that there is one that came out overnight that the BBC is curiously silent about. You see it transpires that Irish PM Bertie Ahern knew that Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness were senior IRA terrorists who had advance knowledge about the £26,5m Northern Bank robbery. (It goes without saying that they would also have known about every bombing, every murder, every abduction)

Yet when I visit the main BBC UK news portal, not a mention of this. You have to go to the BBC Northern Ireland page to read about it and the BBC is careful to provide Adams with the chance to lie again and deny it. True to form, Today managed to avoid the issue as well.

That’s another part of the BBC problem, it carefully omits things that it does not want you to know and so whilst “Wikileaks = good” in BBC speak, “WikileakA that confirm the murderous and criminal pedigree of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness = bad” and are to be ignored.

STUDENT GRANT RIOTS…UPFRONT

By | |
67 Comments

I have been in London over the past few days and just happened to be in Oxford Street/Regent St at the moment when those students protesting against Tuition Fees demonstrated the substance of their case by….smashing in windows, spraying graffiti on private property, emptying bins of rubbish across Oxford Street etc. The attack on Prince Charles/Camilla had just taken place a few moments beforehand. I was talking to some of the Officers on duty as they sought to contain the violence and my only criticism of them was that they were fat too constrained.

However, I then arrived home last evening and turned on the BBC (I know, yes, that was just asking for more trouble) and listened to a BBC interviewer doing everything possible to suggest that the Police had over-reacted and that the Students had been provoked into “responding.” What a disgrace that the National Broadcaster is little more than a mouthpiece for left wing thuggery!

Of course those of us old enough will remember how the BBC covered the poll tax riots and the Miners Strike riots and indeed every other occasion when the left has demonstrated muscle against the State. The State Broadcaster has always supported militant action against the State when a Conservative government is in power and I suggest to you that we are now living in 1979 all over again with the BBC as the propagandist in chief for those who want to being the Coalition down and reinstall a Labour government. Your thoughts?

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

Well, the Religion of Peace strikes again, this time in Stockholm. I notice that the BBC is quick to play UP the “terrorist” angle whilst being careful to play down the Islamic one. It must gut them when it is clear that this vicious act of cruel terror WAS carried out by Islamists proud of their hatred of all things Western. It’s going to be tough for the BBC to hang the motivations of this one of “British Foreign Policy” but then again I suppose those wicked Swedes DID allow the publication of caricatures of Mighty Mo? The BBC does everything possible to try and downplay the motivation behind Islamic terrorism, namely Islam. Shame on them for their craven spinelessness.

HOMAGE TO MR SHAKEDOWN

Good to see the BBC affording Ferne Brittan paying gushing tribute to Rev Jesse Jackson on her Sunday morning programme. Brittan takes sycophancy to a whole new level treating this monstrouus clown as if he were a Martin Luther King. Brittan also salivated over Obama (I’m guessing she is closing her eyes to what is happening to HIS popularity at the moment) I remember being berated when I appeared on the BBC and referring to Jackson (and Sharpton) as race-baiters and shakedown merchants . I believe I was right to do this but when one listens to the sanctification of Jackson care of Brittan, I understand that the BBC has a biased view of this man and only their perspective can prevail.

ADMIRING DIRECT ACTION…

Did you catch this BBC interview with one of the guys that have been hacking into various websites such as Visa, Paypal, etc in an attempt to bring them down in order to show support for Julian Assange? The tone is one of ADMIRATION for these cyber criminals. I wonder if BBC servers were being targeted would we get the same swooning towards the hackers?

COALITION WARS

The BBC is salivating at the tension created by the vote on Tuition Fees that comes later today. Listen to Nick “Mr Impartial” Robinson fantasising about how there might yet be a revolution in the Commons to stop the vote going through. I find it entertaining that the BBC consistently ignores the fact that it was Labour that introduced Tuition Fees, that is was Labour that opened up the floodgates of students tumbling into University so creating an inevitable funding crisis, and that it is Labour that now preens as gross hypocrites. But no debate on that.

Have you read these words of wisdom on the Eurozone, faithfully reported HERE at the BBC? Studying this profound economic analysis, I must say how I am impressed by this new chap Brown. But where has he BEEN for the past eleven years when his country needed such insight…..

THOSE EVIL JOOS…

Here’s an interesting one for your review.

BBC Radio 4; The Odd half Hour  Series 3. Broadcast 7 December

A comedy show. A sketch in which a reporter interviews the widow of a man killed in an accident. He asks her for the deceased last words. BBC iPlayer at 10mins 20secs: “He said the Jews secretly run the world, he had a lot of funny ideas like that, that’s maybe why they shot him”

Is the BBC above compliance with statute?

SOFTBALLS FOR SALMOND

Anyone catch THIS interview with SNP Leader Alex Salmond this morning? Given the SNP’s central role in releasing Libyan bomber Al-Megrahi and given the chaos on Scotland’s roads and streets, one might have expected a rather more challenging interview from Humphyrs but apart from a few token barks at the beginning, I thought he was rather purring as Salmond was allowed to get away with rhetorical murder, in the same sense that Al-Megrahi got away with actual murder. What is it about the English hating petty socialist SNP that so appeals to the BBC……..
