ISRAEL ATTACKS ISRAELIS – ALL WELL WITH WORLD

I see the BBC delights in telling us that Israel is concerned about the number of violent attacks happening in Judea/Samaria (or “West Bank” in BBC talk). The attacks flagged up are being carried out by Jewish settlers. The BBC helpfully shows an accompanying still from the alleged video taken by a pro-Palestinian group Yesh Din to demonstrate just how vicious the Jews living in this area can be. One could be forgiven for thinking that the Palestinians are innocent little lambs. There is never any mention of the barbarity that Palestinians show towards these “settlers. Then again, presenting these people as the aggressors is all part of the ongoing Palestinian propaganda campaign- lapped up and regurgitated by the BBC.

PITY THE CHILD KILLER.

Comments Off on PITY THE CHILD KILLER.

I was interested in the BBC headline “Brady attacks prison conditions.” The article articulates the concerns of child-killer Ian Brady who his complained of his treatment at Ashworth High Security Hospital, where he has been held since 1985. Only the views of the killer – including those on civil liberties of all things – are carried. What’s new?

GIVE US YOUR CHILDREN.

I see the BBC uncritically reports the suggestion from the health Nazi’s in local government that they be granted the power to take overweight children from their parental homes – if deemed necessary. This outrageous power grab, this further intrusion by the State into the sanctity of the family unit, is a disgrace and yet you will do well to find any BBC reported objections to it. One of the areas where the BBC and the Government have blissful agreement is that they know what is best for us and the ever increasing size of the State is the means of delivering it. First they came for the smokers, then they came for the obese…

BIRD BRAINS.

Well, Spring may have long since sprung but cuckoos can always be heard on the BBC. This morning we are serenaded by the news that a number of UK bird species are laying eggs significantly earlier than they were 40 years ago, and this can be put down to..what else? – climate change! I think the BBC will use any story that suggesrs AGW even if, as in this case, there is no causal connection between that which is observed and the alleged climate change. Since the climate is always changing, why does the BBC not provide a platform for those voices which challenge the AGW hysteria? I’ll tell you why – because the BBC seeks to cultivate and instil the environmentalist agenda at every turn and as this report demonstrates they will use every cheep trick in the book to do so.

MISSING WORDS

I read that three men have been arrested on suspicion of committing terror offences. Two of the men were held at Manchester Airport, while the third was detained in nearby Accrington. Do we know anything else at all about these men? Well, they are “Asian” apparently, living in an “Asian” area of Blackburn? Can you spot the missing word – the word the BBC does not want to use? That’s right – these men are MUSLIM.

There now, that’s better, isn’t it? I mean why does the BBC insist on using pointless euphemisms when the truth is plain to see? Could it be related to the ongoing denial that Britain, like so many other countries, has a major terrorist threat from a section of Muslims but that it is too dhimmified to say it? If these three men had have been fundamentalist Christians it would have been emblazoned across the BBC but because they actually are Muslims, it is hushed up and weasel words like Asian introduced to avoid the truth. It is an insult to the Asian community to use that term to describe three alleged Islamic terrorists and the BBC should be ashamed of itself for this fork-tongued approach to reporting news.

PREZZA TORY ATTACK!

Did anyone catch Jabba the Hut ringer John Prescott on Newsnight just now? Kirsty Wark allowed the buffoon a full five minutes rant as he made the most outrageous claims concerning what he alleged was the Tory Policy Exchange Report. This was a set piece by Newsnight to provide Labour with the opportunity to suggest the Tories hate the North, pure and simple. Kirsty did not interrupt Prezza. There has been no attempt made to study the substance of this report and Cameron had to distance himself at a million miles an hour lest real damage was done. It demonstrates once more how treacherous and biased the BBC really is. True colours.

RUSSIAN MANIPULATION

. I have to say how sickened I was with the BBC’s Ten O Clock news coverage of the situation in Georgia. Rarely have I saw such blatant pro-Russia propaganda, gleefully broadcast by the BBC. Did you see it? The BBC exhibits a pride in Russian military prowess that it never could in our British forces. Revolting stuff.

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE….

Following up this morning’s faux economic good news on the Today programme, (Broadcast just before a record jump in inflation was announced) on PM Eddie Mair produced a former editor of the Economist – Bill Emmett – who declares “Crisis what crisis?” Emmett intoned that economic conditions are mild, that inflation is on the way down, food prices are falling and property prices are going to rise again, – marvelous stuff. He also added that no matter how bad things are, things were much worse in the 1980’s – when those bad conservatives were in power! PM – doing the great Leader’s bidding everyday.
