WHY BRITISHNESS IS DIVISIVE!

30 Comments

It’s a dream BBC headline for a Monday morning, brought about by yet another drippingly wet report from the uberleft Joseph Rowntree Foundation. In essence this risible report concludes that “social cohesion” cannot be brought about by imposing British values but rather by spending more cash fighting “deprivation.” In fairness to the BBC they do provide David Conway from Civitas the chance to respond to the Rowntree report, but he ends up agreeing with the idea that imposed Britishness is not the way forward. The BBC report concludess with a nice little flourish which claims that devolution has further weakened the British shared identity. No further comment is provided or required I guess.

TEHRAN FANTASIES.

Comments Off on TEHRAN FANTASIES.

Happened to catch BBC Radio 4’s The World This Weekend at lunchtime land was royally entertained by a discussion on US policy towards the mad mullahs in Iran. The discussion was predicated that the next US President will be Obama and in another example of that good BBC ..ahem…impartiality it proceeded to interview two of Obama’s Congressional supporters on what their man might do! Naturally these Democrat talking-heads were allowed to get all the cheap shots in against Bush. The BBC interviewer, bizarrely, seemed anxious that John McCain might undermine Obama by “flying his own jet into Tehran and having direct talks with Ahmadinejad”! Another Nixon/China moment was being fantasised about which seemed to even surprise Obama’s supporters! It’s a disgrace the way in which the State Broadcaster is so biased against a Party and candidate that most likely half the US electorate will vote for and yet claims it is being impartial on the matter.

BBC IS “ANTI MUSLIM”?

Did you read that the BBC has launched an investigation after complaints from staff of anti-Muslim discrimination by a ‘mafia of executives’ at the Corporation’s own Asian radio station? At least 20 past and present BBC employees, all Asian Muslims, have lodged complaints that its digital radio station, Asian Network, is operating with an anti-Muslim policy. How very well co-ordinated! Given that the BBC is more pro-Muslim than Al Jazeera, and has to be Al Queda’s global broadcaster of choice, you have to admire the chutzpah of these angry Muslim beeboids.

WHAT OCCUPIED TERRITORIES?

I was reading Al Beeb’s latest bit of propagandising on behalf of the Great Leader and note that it says he is going to the “occupied territories”. I assume this was a typo and what the BBC meant to say was the “disputed territories” since the term they employ would otherwise be seen as little more than pathetic pro-Palestinian bias. And when we’re at it, maybe when dear Gordon is seeking to dispense even more money to the Palestinians, perhaps the BBC could ask why such savages who cheer-lead the release of child-killer Samir Kuntar deserve so much as one penny of our cash?

INSTITUTIONAL RACISM. The

By | |
17 Comments

BBC loves to repeat ad nauseum the left wing narrative that the British Police are institutionally racist and so this latest nonsense from “diversity advisers” in Kent gives them a platform from which they can speculate just how racist our Police really are. Note that the BBC provides the story containing the initial allegations from which the professional whingers in the National Black Police Association then launched the assault on their own colleagues. The menace of the BBC is that it both undermines the morale of the Police whilst wasting their time fighting off the foot soldiers of the diversity legions.

REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL – PART FIVE.

My thanks to the eagle eyed B-BBC reader who spotted this amazing item the BBC is running entitled “Five reasons to be cheerful amongst the gloom.” Give it a read – it’s hilarious, pure BBC delusionalism! Who would have guessed that all is well with the property market; that unemployment has taken only a “minor turn” for the worse; that inflation is down; that lower earnings are good for you… and finally, that we are living longer anyway and so should be a damn side more thankful to the Great Leader for all he is doing for us.

JUST 20 MINUTES.

The trouble with BBC bias lies not in finding it, but rather in avoiding it. Take the Today programme – please. I listened to it this morning for just twenty minutes from 7.05 t0 7.25 and was astounded by the series of propagandist items masquerading as news.

First up we had Islam, a BBC favourite. This time round we were treated to someone from the Muslim Council of Britain explaining how very important it was for government to fund a new board of Muslim thinkers, whilst not interfering with what they preach them in any way. But we can relax since these would be “moderate” Islamic preachers. Sure. No tough questions were asked of the MCB, as ever.

Next up we had the Government’s panic-driven decision to abandon its’ own already completely discredited fiscal rules served up to us as a necessary “relaxation” as we approach a new economic cycle. Gordon will have appreciated that one.

This was followed by an attack on the US exam marking company EDS. The BBC has been to the fore in the onslaught against this Aamerican organisation and its apparent failure to deliver results in a timely and accurate manner. At no point does the BBC see fit to examine the role of those in government who awarded the contract to EDS, how could it when it was so busy demonising the US outfit?

Next up, Nelson Mandela’s birthday. Yes, I thought we had got that one out of the way the other week when Saint Nelson moved amongst us but today is his official birthday and the BBC were keen to mark it. After this twenty minutes, I turned off.

RELAX – CRIME IS GOING DOWN.

I caught the PM news headlines this evening on BBC Radio 4 and they were feverishly retailing the notion that crime is at an all-time low in England and Wales. There was a consistent stream of government friendly sound-bites from the PM gang suggesting that it is only our “perceptions” about crime that we now have to fear. The BBC breathlessly relates that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is “extremely pleased” at this welcome “news”. I wonder if she is related to the Jacqui Smith who announced that she would not feel safe walking the streets of London after dark? Perhaps crime has tumbled since she said that back in January?

WE ARE ALL HEZBOLLAH?

Well then, if Hezbollah were hoping to milk the release of their heroic child-killer Samir Kuntar, the BBC sure has obliged. Did you see their stomach-churning coverage of the “militant” Kuntar’s return? The bit that really irked me was the BBC’s statement that “Kantar had been in jail since 1979 for the deadly guerrilla raid in which he killed the child, her father and a policeman.” It was not a guerrilla raid. It was an act of mass murder, in which this fiend smashed the head of 4 year-old Einat Haran on beach rocks and crushed her skull with the butt of his rifle. Kantar is given a heroic welcome by the scum in Lebanon and all the rotten BBC can do is to suggest that if Israel had never imprisoned Kantar there would not have been the war in 2006. Israel is always to blame.
