SHILLING FOR APPEASEMENT

3 Comments

Again, the BBC is to the fore in promulgating appeasement of terrorism. Just the other morning it provided Jonathan Powell with the prime-time platform to advocate that “we” should be talking to the Taliban and Al Queda. This morning it provided a platform to Peter Taylor and Eamon McCann to pontificate on the claim by IRA leader Machine Gun McGuinness that the Government is talking to “dissident” republican terrorists. Let’s leave aside the fact that the BBC completely ignores Unionist opinion on this (plus ca change) but look at the way the BBC actually posits the debate;

“Author and political activist Eamonn McCann and BBC reporter Peter Taylor debate whether talks could prevent future violence.” 

Oh, I see. Let’s have a chinwag with terrorists and see if we can given them what they want so we can buy them off. It could equally have asked whether talks only encourage these savage killers, but I guess that is not an appropriate approach. It could ask whether the need for talks such that a military strategy would be more effective. It could ask whether once you pay the Danegeld…

But of course, it never will, The BBC is steeped in the sordid gospel of naked appeasement of all forms of terrorism and I find it profoundly nauseating.

THE SAME SEX MARRIAGE OXYMORON

The BBC relentlessly push the Stonewall approved line that homosexual people must be allowed to “marry” in the interests of fairness and “equality”. There is such an interview on Today at 8.48am. It’s remarkable how the State Broadcaster can blithely dismiss millennia of human experience and instead pursue this radical re-definition of the institute of marriage to accommodate militant gays. It reminds me of the scene from the Life if Brian where Reg (played by Eric Idle) gets upset because he can’t have babies. His comrades decide that he has the right to have a baby and all are content. That’s exactly where the BBC are and where they demand we must be. It goes without saying that the suggestion that marriage is the union between one man and one women infuriates the BBC. You can guess why.

Anyone catch Nick Cosgrove’s interview with Sir Philip Green on the business news section of the Today programme this morning. (7.20am) Talk about hostile! Green has been recruited by Cameron to lead a review into government spending and is thus an instant enemy of the BBC and it shows. Rather than stick to topic, Cosgrove kept making comments about Sir Philip’s tax status and also his friendship with Naomi Campbell. I don’t recall Sir Alan Sugar being quite the same hard ride by the BBC but then again he supports Labour….

SIDDIQUE WATCH

Hey, who would have guessed it but Mona Siddique, Professor of Islamic Studies and Director for the Study of Islam, was back on Thought for the Day this morning! You will recall I mentioned the frequency of her appearances but last week and now she is back on again talking about the Religion of Peace. It’s almost as if the person who controls religious output on the BBC has a pro-Muslim tendency….

BBC DOUBLE HEADER

Attention all Biased BBC readers, I seek your thoughts!

I’ll be on the BBC twice in the next few days discussing several subjects and I would value your opinions/thoughts.

I’m on the Nolan Show tomorrow morning (BBC NI) debating whether civil partnerships (a non religious secular invention) should be permitted on religious premises. The law says they should, I say the law is an ass, they should not, what say you?

Then, on Sunday, I will be on the BBC Sunday Live programme presented by Susanna Reid! The topic I have been asked to cover is Guantanamo Bay and in particular the fact that there is a 23 year old in it, Omar Kadr, who was 15 when captured. Is this right? Should 15 year olds be in Gitmo? (Yes, of course) Young Omar killed a US sergeant by throwing a hand grenade at him but…waaaugh… he was ONLY 15, and then he alleges he was tortured. I take a very straight view on this. He’s lucky to be alive given his crime, he SHOULD be behind bars, I dismiss his allegations of torture (all unproven) and this is just one more poster boy for the left who hate the idea that we fight Islamic terrorists! Your views please? Never done the Sunday Live show so time for some straight talking…hope you can provide some interesting thoughts for me.

THE TROUBLE WITH HONOUR KILLINGS..

Remarkable interview here on Today on the topic of “Little Birmingham” in Pakistan and the killing of two British couple over an “arranged marriage”. Humphyrs is outraged at the killing but openly expresses approval \at the idea of at least some arranged marriages. Labour MP Khalid Mahmoud is on hand to sanitise the entire arranged marriage issue. Why can the BBC not ask why it is that Islam practises such barbarity? Why do “British” families marry their children off in Pakistan?

NAKED APPEASEMENT

Should we talk to the Taliban? How about Al Queda? How about any terrorist group anywhere? The BBC was kind enough to provide arch-appeaser Jonathan Powell the prime 8.10am platform this morning. Powell is clear enough – YES, let’s talk to terrorists and see if we can find out things we can “give them” in exchange for them easing off onthe killing.

If you listen to the interview, Powell vapidly speculates about the Taliban position “on women’s rights” and he worries about the amorphous nature of Al Queda, harder to negotiate with don’t you know? Powell keeps using Northern Ireland style appeasement as the template for all of this and the BBC fully approves. In this regard we can see that Powell is actually articulating the BBC in-house position on how to appease terrorists.

At a time when British soldiers lose life and limb fighting terrorist vermin around the world, the BBC sees fit to provide a spotlight to Jonathan Powell’s naked appeasement of all terrorists. Truly disgraceful, Naturally Powell has a new series on the BBC on this topic.
