A man holding a mask depicting the face of George Osborne and an axe
This particularly useless and offensive offering from BBC World Service was brought to my attention.


Rolling headline offour topics covering

  • Women’s equality (‘equality matters’),
  • Africa’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Film,
  • A brown puppet in Sesame Street!?

 …and finally a piece about the UK spending cuts. This one shows a picture ofGeorge Osborne with an axe to his head.

NOT SO BAD FOR OBAMA!

I had the misfortune to listen to “The World at One” and there was an item on it concerning the looming US Mid-Terms. The BBC has accepted that their poster-boy Obama’s Democrat Party is going to take a kicking so the new line being peddled is that this might be a good thing since it will give Obama something top kick against if Congress falls to the evil Republicans. Clinton had the same situation to deal with it and it didn’t harm him, went the apologist for the Dem Party disguised as a BBC reporter. Furthermore, the Tea Party influence was dismissed as minimal, at the edges in smaller less relevant States, and may actually land Obama some seats! Total delusionalism but it’s what the State Propagandist is now desperately pushing.

THE EVIL EMPIRE

BBC hatred of Rupert Murdoch is thinly disguised, if at all, and I commend this “debate” between Evan Davis, William Shawcross and Henry Porter for your interest. Shawcross makes some very positive comments about the contribution made by Murdoch to the British media whilst Porter venomously attacks Murdoch. That’s fair enough in my view – two contrasting opinions. What irritates is the fact that it is clear that Davis inserts himself in the same camp as Porter so the debate is loaded 2 against 1 with Porter being afforded the final word, naturally. It always strikes me as ironic to hear the BBC waffle about monopoly media power given the £3billion it extracts from us each year. Moat in the eye and all that, I’m afraid. I suppose the fact that Murdoch spoke at the inaugural Margaret Thatcher lecture was too much for the leftist bleeding hearts that infest Today?

THE VOICE OF SCOTTISH BBC IMPARTIALITY

Have a read of this interesting document. Go to page 25 to find out the thoughts of Pete Murray, President of the National Union of Journalists and Senior Broadcast journalist with BBC Scotland . He’s asked to identify his biggest “villain” and this is what he says;

“Margaret Thatcher and all her successors who have send millions of people to the dole queues, smashed working class communities and taken Britain to war to try and rescue their political fortunes” 

Whilst pondering that little gem, remember the words of Helen Boaden “Impartiality is in our genes”.

ON THOSE EVIL CUTS

Sorry it’s taken me until now to catch up with you all but I’ve been engaging with the BBC this morning. Sort of. Let me explain. The Nolan Show was covering the CSR this morning and had invited representatives of local political parties on to discuss it. Except mine. We were treated to student grant “Smash the Tories” gibberish – including a vox pop that contained those ready to follow the Marseilles Model of street protest. I eventually was allowed on after complaint. I was gifted about 2 minutes during which I spoke up for private business, criticies the establishment class, demonstrated a half £billion saving that Nolan instantly rejected, and was then promptly dispatched. When you’re saying that which they do not want to hear you get the exit treatment from Labour’s broadcasting arm. Nolan even raved about the Conservative Secretary of State Owen Paterson, stirring up the Smash the Tories Trot line even more. Appalling stuff.

THE INTIFADA FUND AND THE BBC

Shocking to read that the BBC is taking advertising from an “Intifada” supporting Islamic bank. The excellent Undhimmi has the sordid details here but this sums it up;

Among many other activities, the bank controls two funds set up at an Arab summit in Cairo, in October 2000 – the Al-Quds Fund and the Al-Aqsa Fund. Between them worth hundreds of millions of dollars, these funds openly finance the ‘Palestinian Intifada’. It is also linked with the channeling of UN funds to Hamas.

Stated aims of the fund include the provision of assistance to the widows and families left behind by ‘martyrs’; and the furtherance of the ‘resistance’ against Israel.So there you have it. The BBC, a British Government-funded quasi-NGO, is taking advertising money from a bank which pays the families of homicide bombers and terrorists. Surprised?

No, but still a disgrace. WHY is the BBC taking advertising from such a terror-supporting organisation on one of it’s news portals outside the UK? Shouldn’t a major news organisation pick this up and ask some pointed question of the BBC? When people question BBC impartiality this only confirms their worst suspicions.
