LOVING THE TALIBAN..

20 Comments

I note that Conservative MP David Tredinnick shares some of our concerns regarding the State Broadcaster..

“Tory MP David Tredinnick used the statement to raise concerns about the BBC’s report on the issue. “Many years ago during the Gulf War, I accused the BBC of being the Baghdad broadcasting corporation,” he told MPs. “I am very concerned that there is now a similar situation with the Taliban, in that they are getting far too high a profile.”

He told politics.co.uk shortly after his appearance in the chamber that he thought it was unfair to present the Taliban as a coherent, organised group. “Instead of giving them this grand title we should describe them as a bunch of terrorists,” he said. “Why we are we building these people up? They’re a bunch of scruffs out there with RPGs who are using kids with wheelbarrows to blow up our troops. “We need a much blunter, more realistic assessment. Churchill would never have put up with this kind of propaganda in a wartime situation.”

The BBC denied that its coverage had given the Taliban’s views excessive prominence. I bet it did.

As ever, our nations enemies realise the BBC is their greatest asset. The license-payer funded enemy within.

THAT ANGLICAN WHIPPING BOY…

The BBC loves the ongoing conflict with the Anglican Church. On the one had, it presents the forces of liberal enlightenment who seek to have Gay Bishops and Woman Priests, and on the other there are those dreadful stick-in-the-mud “traditionalists.” You can always tell which side the BBC is on and it keeps nibbling at this issue, always portraying those who would seek to maintain Anglican scriptural traditions as the problem.

STONE THE CROWS….

Despite telling us how “beautiful” Islam can be, sometimes even the BBC has to deal with the reality of the pathology of “peace”.  Covering the story of the Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned to death but now, allegedly, reprieved by those kindly Mullahs. the BBC makes the following observation…

Under Iran’s strict interpretation of Islamic law, sex before marriage is punishable by 100 lashes, but married offenders are sentenced to death by stoning. The stones used must be large enough to cause the condemned pain, but not sufficient to kill immediately.

Maybe next time the BBC has one of its legion of Islamic apologists on the networks, someone could gently enquire how it is the “stricter” and therefore more authentic one interprets Islam, the more savage it becomes? Can you imagine any BBC presenter pursuing such a line?

GOVE JIHAD

Isn’t it REMARKABLE to see the BBC keeping the non-story concerning administrative errors in a list published by Education Secretary Michael Gove’s Department running, trying to suggest this could be a resigning matter and might be the first split in the Coalition. Like rabid dogs, the BBC shows no logic on this but instead chooses to use it to try and hurt Gove and the Coalition. The BBC is trying to create the fiction that Gove himself has clumsily made serial errors of such a scale that were he honourable, he would resign. It’s much ado about nothing but through the malign prism of the BBC, this is a chance to undermine the Government and THAT is the real agenda in play here. I could understand this if the BBC was choosing to point out the incompetency within the Civil Service but that is somehow not mentioned. It’s Gove Jihad and it is truly pathetic.

A WASTE OF LIFE..

I thought that General Nick Parket did rather well in this interview with the BBC this morning. In true patriot style, the BBC narrative was to get the General to “admit” that all those lost military lives in Sangin were in vain and now we are retreating, leaving it to the Americans. The BBC appears to loath our Armed Forces and never misses an opportunity to try and diminish them. For that alone, it deserves to be axed.

WHY ECONOMIC RECOVERY IS BAD!

I enjoyed this item picked up by another B-BBC reader….

Here’s a great onefrom the BBC financial whizkids, Labour’s years in power were in fact a goldenage….http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/10516338.stm By Andy Verity

BBC2 Money Watch 

‘Good times for the country can be bad times for some individuals Here’s athing – the recession made the average household better off. And the recovery has done the opposite – even before new tax rises and spendingcuts come into play. That is the message from a ground-breaking new series from the BBC which askswhat the recession and subsequent recovery have truly done to your wealth.’

The BBC like to say VAT is an evil Tory regressive tax on the poor….but whatabout quantitative easing? This devalued the pound and raised inflation….astealth tax on everyone? Andy Verity is one of the presenters of 5Live’s ‘Wake up to Money’….aprogramme which is sponsored by Alistair Darling &Co…..the favouritereprise of this programme is that the crash was caused by greedy bankers andthe ‘world recession’….not Gordon Brown and Labour spending. 

They continuallyback Labour’s plans to deal with the debt…..the example they cite every timeis Japan in the 90’s….unfortunately Japan actually indulged in massivegovernment spending to try and get out of the recession…it took 10 years ofstagnation…and they are still not out yet. This was pointed out to them in an interview. The next day the presenter statedexactly the same thing….Japan made too many cuts too quickly and ‘disaster’.

CRIME DOES PAY…

A Biased BBC reader writes…

Last week the newsfeatured Ken Clarke’s sentencing proposals based on the premise that prisondoes not work. The UK public have been softened up for the last 30 years tobelieve this, to save money, and because the liberal left/anti prison lobbyhold sway. The proposals are that basically no one, apart from on extremelyrare occasions – burglars, thieves, robbers, or any other acquisitive criminalcan expect prison. Community punishment will be the order of the day.

Then this morning the BBC4 at 7.30am 6/7/2010 ran a piece that vast amounts offines imposed by magistrates courts as part of community sentences are simplynot paid. At no point during the questioning of someone from the LordChancellors Department was the link made by the interviewer between this andlast weeks proposal – Why?

Of course we all know why. The BBC believes that Prison does not work and so will turn reality on its head to try and spew forth such nonsense.
