People can say what they like on stage, but what annoys me is that when comics talk about religion, the writing is often lazy and not very intelligent. Worst of all, it’s not very funny. 

Tez Ilyas

Well yes….shame he doesn’t actually listen to his own advice…..read on about the good Muslim Tez Ilyas.

Tez Ilyas, an Asian Muslim comic that the BBC has groomed and radicalised….what he used to look like…

What he looks like now…

His comedy is left-wing and from the point of view of an Asian Muslim with a chip on his shoulder about Empire and the injustices of Muslims being under suspicion for some reason he can’t fathom…it’s so unfair.  You might get the impression this is just him regurgitating what is said at the dinner table at home in the ‘community’.  He tells us benefits are ‘reparations’ [for empire] and that Lancashire is ‘Allah’s own country’.  His show is based upon converting the infidel to Islam…a mock conversion attempt…but not really mock is it?  He moans…

Ilyas wonders why he has been made to feel like an outsider in the country he’s called home from day one

Hmmm….maybe because that is what your own community has told you, Islam having ‘apartheid’ tendencies and because members of your community have been bombing, stabbing, running down non-Muslims in order to ensure ‘Islam will reign supreme’…as Muhammed instructed….and oddly enough the non-Muslims don’t like it.

Which brings us onto why we have a post on him.

He appeared on The Now Show to launch an attack on Poppy Day telling us he would not wear the Poppy because it had been hijacked by the Far-Right.  I might suggest he won’t wear a Poppy one, because he might get his head kicked in if he walked down his own road…..

Pakistani Christian ‘is knocked out and left with a broken nose by a gang of “Muslims” in Derbyshire who attacked him for displaying a cross and poppies on his car’

And two I just don’t believe he would ever wear one anyway listening to his attitude to Britain and that big chip on his shoulder.

But let’s think about his claimed reasoning…he won’t wear a Poppy because the Far-Right have hijacked it for their own cause…..well OK…..he also tells us ISIS etc aren’t real Muslims and they have hijacked his religion….do I need to go on?

Logically therefore he must also refuse to be a Muslim anymore…Poppies hijacked…not wear Poppy…Islam hijacked…not be a Muslim….yes?  No.  Don’t be silly…..instead he looks like he is becoming evermore devout and openly religious and vocally ‘Muslim’.

Hypocrite.

He tells us Farage and Katie Hopkins can shove their Poppies up their nationalist arses and that millions of Muslims fought for Britain against Fascist Nazi scum….linking Farage to that….presumably he also includes all those Brexit voters in there as well…he is of course against Brexit.

Er….in reality those Muslims threatened to fight for those Nazi Scum if they didn’t get a promise from the British of their own Muslim nation….let’s remember that as Muslims scream and shout about Balfour…..so maybe he should shove Islam up his nationalist arse?  Let’s also remember he’s only Muslim because the Arabs conquered and colonised India and forcibly converted so many Indians to Islam….so if he wants to talk about imperialism and violence let him start with that.  Tez Ilyas….a man who grovels on his knee five times a day to an Arab god in the direction of Mecca….the Arab centre of Empire….and he whinges about the British Empire!  Shouldn’t the brainwashed Tez break free from his subjugation by this Arab religion and return to his real roots….Hinduism or Buddhism if he is so opposed to Imperialism?

The real shame is that the BBC thinks it is lovely and diverse to nurture and support this man’s anti-British extremism, and perhaps worse that the audience were cheering as he ‘spat’ on the Poppy.

A small distraction from the hurley burley…..

Katz is off and Guido lists a speculative run down of runners and riders for his job…..the last on the list is George Osborne.

Anyone have the feeling that it is not beyond the realms of possibility and parody that Osborne gets offered the job  by a shameless and desperate anti-Brexit BBC?

Trump in the White House, Corbyn closing in on No10….who can say it will never happen?  After all how the hell did James O’Brien get the job on Newsnight?  Because he demonstrated his post-truth interview style as he set up the anti-Farage kangaroo court-come lynching….which happily Farage saw off quite easily as most of it was half truths and made up nonsense.

Could the BBC resist having a similarly machiavellian and journalistically corrupt person such as Osborne at the helm as he tries to sink Brexit?

Guido put Osborne up there as a joke…but scarily it’s one that could all too easily become real.

The BBC still bashing Trump….yesterday Today wheeled in an Obama official to get her opinion on Trump [08:40]…

At least eight people have been killed and 11 seriously hurt in New York after the driver of a truck mowed down people on a cycle path in Lower Manhattan. Juliette Kayyem is former US assistant secretary of Homeland Security.

John Humphrys asked her what she thought of Trump’s reaction to the attack….apparently his reaction is ‘troubling and dark’ and is solely aimed at whipping up anti-Muslim hysteria with his base….as we can see from the countries he targeted for a travel ban.

Humphrys allowed her to rant away and said nothing at all…..never mind the countries chosen were the same countries Obama, with possibly her advice, named as ‘countries of concern’ and Trump’s wish to ban or double check certain people seems ever more justified.

Just listening to ‘Up All Night’ now and Trump is under attack again….he has brought corruption to the White House…how?….some of his ‘oligarch’ appointees have used private jets….er….so did Obama’s…

Flight furor: Obama officials also took pricey, non-commercial planes

The use of private planes by President Trump’s Cabinet has come under intense media scrutiny in recent days, but officials in the Obama administration also took pricey flights on the government’s dime, including for personal trips.

Top figures during President Barack Obama’s tenure who used non-commercial planes for travel included then-attorney generals Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, then-FBI director Robert Mueller, and then-CIA director and defense secretary Leon Panetta. 

Who knew Obama was therefore so corrupt?

We then heard that there was great shock that Shia Iran has been found to fund and support Al Qaeda, a Sunni organisation, as the CIA releases AQ documents captured from the raid on Bin Laden.   Just how far behind the news are these people the BBC wheels in to bring us ‘up to date’?

Iran has long been labelled a terrorist sponsor and has been supporting the Sunni Taliban against British troops for years and Shia groups in Iraq.  But it has been known to harbour Al Qaeda since at least 2011…

Since July 2011, the US Treasury and State Departments have repeatedly stated that the Iranian regime allows al Qaeda to maintain a key facilitation network on its soil. This formerly clandestine network is the result of a specific “agreement” between the Iranian government and al Qaeda’s leadership.

On July 19, the State Department once again pointed to the relationship. “Since at least 2009,” State’s Country Reports on Terrorism 2016 reads, “Iran has allowed AQ facilitators to operate a core facilitation pipeline through the country, enabling AQ to move funds and fighters to South Asia and Syria.”

Iran  has been supporting Hamas, a Sunni group, for a long time…so why the big surprise about Al Qaeda?

Mishal Husain called the Israeli ‘Wall’ a ‘security barrier’ [08:35] and accused Palestinians of killing Israeli civilians….men, women and children…..shocked outrage from the Palestinian being interviewed.  Maybe if the BBC had adopted such a more two-sided and balanced approach in all its reporting about Israel the peace might have been given more of a chance as the Palestinians weren’t given licence to attack the Israeli ‘oppressors’…so long so labelled by the BBC.

Anyway…new open thread, I’m sure the BBC hasn’t turned over a new leaf on every subject….if not list it all here…..

Whilst the BBC doesn’t like to report anything that might indicate a terror attack was Islamic in nature, avoiding eye-witness reports and other news sources’ informed speculation until forced to do so, it is happy to casually assert Brexit causes Islamophobia.

This is my country, too

This year has seen a spike in anti-Muslim hate crimes, and a new survey shows women are suffering the most – so what’s it like to be a black British Muslim woman at the moment? Not great, says Muna Ahmed.

“I’ve always felt safe here in England, but post-Brexit, post the [terror] attacks, it’s getting worse and worse.”

I rather think any abuse is more to do with the numerous savage and murderous attacks by Muslim attackers on people in this country in the name of Allah.

The Muslim goes on…

After major attacks we have to endure intimidating comments and fear personal attacks, all because of the actions of a terrorist. Being held accountable for the actions of extremists is a massive burden.

Some days I want to scream at the top of my voice that I have nothing to do with terrorism but it doesn’t matter how loud I scream, I will always be tarred with the same brush.

All we want is to feel safe in our own country and to be accepted for who we are – because we are British and this is our home.

It us only natural for people to question why she would still want to belong to a ‘religion’ that literally calls for Muslims to kill the Unbelievers until Islam reigns supreme…and does so again and again.  She says she has nothing to do with terrorism but she adheres to a religion that encourages violence to further its dominance….and this isn’t just about the terorism…it’s also about Islamists trying to force British institutions, schools, businesses and the media to adopt Islamic practices…the threat being that if they don’t Muslims will feel alienated, become angry and get radicalised.  This is blackmail as the Mirror pointed out….

WE MUST NOT GIVE IN TO MUSLIM BLACKMAIL

AS the country vexes itself over how to deal with the radicalisation of British-born Muslim youths, it’s revealing to know some of their leaders believe they have the answer.

The introduction of Sharia Law in Britain along with important religious days in the Muslim calendar becoming public holidays for followers of the faith should do the trick, or so claims the secretary general of the Union of Muslim Organisations in the UK and Ireland.

As Dr Syed Aziz Pasha says: “If you give us religious rights we will be in a better position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with other citizens.”

This sounds perilously close to blackmail.

We have a right to be angry at the ideology that licences these attacks as Brendan O’Neil says in Spiked……

As part of the post-terror narrative, our emotions are closely policed. Some emotions are celebrated, others demonised. Empathy – good. Grief – good. Sharing your sadness online – great. But hatred? Anger? Fury? These are bad. They are inferior forms of feeling, apparently, and must be discouraged. Because if we green-light anger about terrorism, then people will launch pogroms against Muslims, they say, or even attack Sikhs or the local Hindu-owned cornershop, because that’s how stupid and hateful we apparently are. But there is a strong justification for hate right now. Certainly for anger. For rage, in fact. Twenty-two of our fellow citizens were killed at a pop concert. I hate that, I hate the person who did it, I hate those who will apologise for it, and I hate the ideology that underpins such barbarism. I want to destroy that ideology.

Where’s the rage? If the massacre of children and their parents on a fun night out doesn’t make you feel rage, nothing will. The terrorist has defeated you. You are dead already.

Britain is well on its way to Talibanisation in many areas...as said, the violence is not the real problem..it is the intent behind that violence, an intent shared by the ‘non-violent’ as well, that is the problem…the problem that labels white women as prostitutes and British society as decadent and tries to hijack our schools…. Islamisation….

Make no mistake, Taliban devotees are in our schools, playgrounds, homes, mosques, political parties, public service, private firms and universities.

And if we are to have any hope of combating them, we need to stop this attitude of appeasement and understand why so many Muslims are attracted to the most punishing forms of belief, suppressing women and children.

If this was happening in any other nation, we would be condemning it loudly.

Yet here, curtailed and deficient education endured by many Muslim children is seen as a religious entitlement, which, if opposed, apparently confirms Islamophobia.

Why are we fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and indulging Taliban values here?

Even if it offends liberal principles, the powerful must find a way of stopping Islamicists from promulgating their distorted creed.

About time the BBC started asking Muslims like the one in this report what their views are on homosexuaity, apostates, a woman’s place in a Muslim society, Jews and foreign policy….find out just what she actually believes her religion to be rather than give us an extremely one-sided viewpoint that goes completely unchallenged.

MORE: Suspect reported to have screamed "Allahu Akbar," a key reason authorities looking at terrorism as possible motive, sources tell @ABC.

— ABC News (@ABC) October 31, 2017

Another savage attack by what appears to be a Muslim terrorist named Sayfullo Saipov, apparently from Uzbekistan and who shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ according to witnesses….ABC says it is a ‘key reason’ authorities suspect terrorism.  Why would the BBC miss out a ‘key reason’ from their report?  This is from CNN…note ‘four law enforcement sources’ say he shouted ‘Allah Akbar’

Multiple law enforcement sources say the New York incident is being investigated as terrorism. Separately, four law enforcement sources said witnesses reported the suspect was yelling Allahu Akbar.

Nice beard….

Here he is being arrested…

The BBC manages to miss all of that out in its report.  The BBC is quite happy to jump the gun and, on no substantial evidence, pronounce that Trump was only elected because he had Russian help, however it is reluctant to give the slightest inkling that a terrorist attacker might be Muslim.

You can almost guarantee he is Muslim by the BBC’s silence…if he’d been a white supremacist the BBC would be making it headline news.

Here’s the BBC’s photo album of the attack…..

In pictures: New York truck attack

Not one photo shows the attacker and yet, as above and below there are many available….all pretty newsworthy I’d say…..

Sadiq Khan‏Verified account @SadiqKhan  London stands in grief and solidarity with the great city of New York tonight….but you know what?…terror attacks are all part and parcel of the great city experience…innit bruv?  So don’t be alarmed!

The BBC are desperately clutching at straws as their big hope to take down Trump, the case against Paul Manafort, looks like it is unconnected with Trump and the Russians at present….all to do with previous, pre-Trump dealings with Ukrainians.  So the BBC moves rapidly on to another Trump advisor and now pronounce that….

This may be the real blockbuster

Initial headlines on Monday morning were about Paul Manafort’s indictment for money laundering and undisclosed foreign lobbying activities. The real blockbuster, however, may end up being George Papadopoulos’s plea bargain, which was disclosed shortly after the Manafort news came out.

Unlike Mr Manafort, pinched for activities largely conducted before he joined the Trump team, Mr Papadopoulos has admitted to lying to the FBI about contacts he had with Russian nationals while serving as a Trump foreign policy adviser.

The BBC’s report has chosen a very definite narrative….that Papadopoulos proactively sought out the Russians in order to find dirt on Clinton and to make connections between Trump and the Russians.  Trouble is that seems more the BBC’s wishful thinking than the truth.  The Telegraph, which doesn’t particularly like Trump, has a more balanced and probably truthful narrative that shows Papadopoulos was lured in [and why wouldn’t he be interested in ‘dirt’ on Clinton?] and that Trump just wasn’t interested in  making contact in any meaningful way…and the Russian offer to meet was an ‘open invitation’ to travel to Russia and meet Putin…it was what is a pretty normal approach to meet potential leaders….Corbyn went to the EU the other week….is he being groomed by the EU, is the EU interfering in British democracy?  The BBC can’t have it both ways.

From the measured Telegraph:

Sex and the city, politics, showbiz….office romances and unwanted advances, wanted advances…..have we just woken up in the 16th century Puritan England or something?  Why all the shock and amazement?  Did nobody really know all of this went on?  Boris Becker shagging in a restaurant broom cupboard and Prezza doing it just about anywhere with his secretary…..

In 2014 we had this from the Telegraph…

Sex, booze and power plays: 9 things nobody tells you before you get a job at Westminster

Once again the culture at Westminster is under the spotlight after Nigel Evans’s court case and young researchers reveal all about the ‘palace of sexminster’. But is it that bad? Political correspondent Sophy Ridge shares her insight and tips.

Three years of drinking, late nights and infidelity are the perfect preparation for a job in the historic seat of government.

And this…

Senior Tory steps down as rumours of lewd behaviour sweep ‘palace of sexminster’

A survey for Channel Four News claimed that a third of the young men and women working in Parliament — nicknamed “the palace of sexminster” — had suffered sexual harassment. One worker, who did not want to be identified, said he was “asked to go to the gents by a certain MP who had always been a nice guy”.

And of course there was Lord Rennard in 2013…

Lord Ashdown: Sex pest rumours surrounding Lord Rennard ‘all over Westminster’

Undoubtedly if  you dig further you will find case after case going on back into the mists of time…but now its new news?

A lot of it seems to be born again virgins shocked, yes shocked, at men making advances to them…such as the BBC woman whose colleague, over dinner, told her she was sexy, or the woman who showed a photo to her boss who told her she looked good….apparently both are sexual harassment.  I don’t know any women, or for that matter girls, who would not put a bloke in his place in no uncertain terms if if he said a word or put a hand out of place.

Have to say women are just as prone to exactly the same behaviour as men, admittedly they are not so often in positions of authority which may be used to ‘persuade’ someone to comply but if they were…watch out.

Some women need to grow up and realise men and women are by nature inclined to try it on as are all animals, for others it may be more serious but they should have said something at the time especially if it was a case of being told ‘do this if you want to keep your job’…that has to be near rape if not actual rape.

The only pleasure here is that the BBC is in a bind…it would love to hit the Tories hard but of course it has its own problems, Savile aside, with sex abuse in its own ranks and discrimination on many levels such as pay and older women being sidelined.  It gave Corbyn lots of airtime to strut about pronouncing his determination to ‘do something’…can only imagine both he and the BBC thought this would be limited to the Tories on the WhatsApp hit list, a rather foolish hope I’d have thought, or that he knew Labour would get dragged in and he was pre-empting that with a bit of help from his friends.

I see the BBC reporting this….

Speaker Bercow calls for zero tolerance of harassment

Commons Speaker John Bercow has said there must be “zero tolerance” of sexual harassment in Parliament as ministers vowed action “within days” to improve the way complaints are handled.

Claims about inappropriate behaviour by MPs were “disturbing”, Mr Bercow said.

All parties, he said, must have “credible” staff grievance procedures.

Wasn’t long ago that he didn’t want to know…

Since the Whips Office is hopelessly conflicted when it comes to investigating serious complaints against MPs – and since one of the complaints was about its original handling of the allegation – I made appointments for both men to see the Speaker, John Bercow. After the first meeting, he took legal advice, then sent a member of his staff to tell me that he could not become involved. The messenger repeatedly told me that his job was to protect the Speaker. So the only avenue open to the complainants was to go to the police.

Strictly  legally he may not have been able to become involved in disciplinary matters relating to this but in his capacity he could of course have driven an agenda for change….did he?  No.

Let’s have some more perspective and context from the BBC on this matter.

And a new week begins but the BBC never stops! Detail it HERE!
