This small quote from Adrian Chiles demonstrates all that is wrong with the BBC and its employees…its smug superiority and condescending attitude…..Trump was talking about sending troops to Afghanistan and the need to deal with Pakistan…Chiles decides he knows much better and Trump needs his advice…
‘Has he has Pakistan explained to him?…It’s a complicated place’
Encapsulates the whole BBC attitude towards Trump.
The BBC continues to fly the flag for the EU reporting every utterance from the undemocratic and corrupt not-so-superstate as if it was the truth set upon tablets of stone whilst anything the British say is treated with scepticism, disdain and mockery…Ed Stourton laughing along with a Eurocrat who was deriding the British stance claiming he just didn’t know what sort of cake you could have and eat it at the same time. The BBC’s interpretation of anything the British negotiators say is entirely negative….the conclusion is usually that our demands are entirely unworkable and unacceptable to the EU…and of course we must shape our demands to suit the EU mustn’t we? Well, according to the BBC we must.
The BBC has always tried to paint the British position as chaotic, unplanned, unprepared and aimless, intransigent and hopelessly simplistic and over-expectant….pretty much how the EU wants it to be seen as. When do you see the EU criticised as unrealistic, untruthful, slow, unwilling to compromise, employing disruptive and delaying tactics meant to ensure Brexit fails or is at least completed on the worst possible terms for Britain. And the real problem is that not ony do we have collaborators working behind the lines, ie the Labour Party amongst many others, we have a BBC that refuses to challenge the EU/Remian narrative and in fact does all it can to promote the idea that Brexit is over and that the best we can hope for is a ‘soft Brexit’…in other words we stay in the EU. Naturally we will be at the mercy of the EU then…something the BBC doesn’t dwell on.
The last week or so we have seen the Position Papers published and the BBC has done its usual hatchet job painting a picture of doom, of the impossibility, naivity and stupidity of the British position….nothing the British want is possible, or sensible it seems. We had Emma Barnett tell us that it was ‘only common sense to stay in the ECJ’ and the BBC’s apparent legal expert, Clive Coleman, tell us we would always be subject to the ECJ…just like Canada….lol.
The BBC seems to be under the impression that the ECJ is some international court that is set above ‘national’ interests when the truth is it is the EU, not ‘European’, Court of Justice…it represents the EU’s interests and is known as a highly political court that takes decisions based as much upon the political effect as the legal….the political effect being beneficial to the EU of course.
When May said the ECJ would have absolutely no direct jurisdiction over British laws the BBC decided this meant it would still therefore be making rulings that governed British law over-riding the British Supreme Court…but that is total nonsense. What May meant, and indeed is the case with all countries, is that if you want to sell goods or services to, for example, the EU, then the manufacturer of those goods must make sure the products comply with the law of the land they are to be exported to…this in no way means the ECJ [or the EUCJ as it should be known] has any jurisdiction in the UK…any court action for breaching local law would be in the EU not in the UK. The BBC began to peddle the idea that this menat May had softened Brexit and that Remainers should be cheering.
The BBC of course set the ECJ scare stories running with an orchestrated little plot in which it organised an interview between the Times’ Sam Coates and the increasingly unhinged Remain fanatic James Chapman…the Times being very pro-Remain…..naturally this was meant to place a bit of distance between the BBC and the interview, the BBC however, as is its way, ‘reported’ on the interview and what was said…and we had weeks of stories about legal apocalypse cumulating in James Chapman’s old boss, George Osborne, printing front page alarmist stories about Brexit causing cancer and the end of Euratom…another part of Chapman’s Brexit scaremongering interview…and of course the BBC gleefully gave that all masses of publicity.
Not surprisingly Sam Coates turned up again this week on the BBC to discuss the ‘news’ that a document had been found at the Home Office that said Britain would be at the mercy of terrorists and criminals if we left the EU….but this had been suppressed during the referendum as it was too much like ‘project fear’ and would be unbelieveable. Hmmmm…this from a Remian campaign that said leaving the EU would end in world war three? Coates was sure we ‘would be more at risk’ if we leave the EU, he added that even if the document wasn’t used [lol] it would still be useful as a checklist to hold the government to account after Brexit….hmmm…so everytime a bomb goes off or a lorry ‘drives itself’ into some pedestrians it’s going to be the fault of Brexit!!?
The narrative that Remain decided not use the scare story just wasn’t true…the Remain campaign used that alarmist tale about terrorism and crime relentlessly as any google will show…perhaps that is why the ‘sensational revelation’ has died a death and we haven’t heard much about it after the first great reveal of its scoop by the BBC….or perhaps because the actual premise of the story is bunkum….one the British intelligence services are much better than the Europeans’ and two…er…we have much better border control…..as even this BBC report from 2016 points out…
EU referendum: The debate around counter-terrorism
Odd isn’t it how such ‘reality checks’ can be forgotten when convenient by the BBC?
Here’s the Remain camp ‘not’ scaremongering about terror and Brexit…
EU referendum: Leaving EU ‘big gamble’ for UK security
And look, here’s the utterly untrustworthy Remainer Keir Starmer in the Guardian…
Criminals and terrorists will rejoice if we leave the EU
It’s interesting to consider how the BBC chooses to report on an issue, because you KNOW it will never be from a pro-British perspective. Take this story on the tiresome EU “negotiations” – note how it leads with the view as seen by the EU! The BBC is a loathsome and persistent opponent of a soveriegn United Kingdom and it’s entire coverage of Brexit is a joke. I wouldn’t mind except it forces me to pay for it.
Here you go, a new Open Thread for this new week! Detail the visceral bias here.
Here is a new Open Thread to see us all off into the wide blue yonder of the weekend.
Wonder what you make of this?
Andrew Neil is stepping down as the presenter of the BBC Sunday Politics programme after five years. He will be replaced by Sarah Smith, the corporation’s Scotland editor. Smith, 49, eldest daughter of the former Labour leader John Smith, was made BBC Scotland’s first editor in 2015. While continuing in her present role, she will also host Sunday Politics when it returns on September 17 after its summer break.
So, the BBC move to allay any criticism of left wing bias by…appointing the daughter of a former Leader of the Labour Party. I see.
Here you go, a new Open Thread on which to detail the bias….!
Daily Mail trying to do what it does best, trying to silence those that challenge racism & sexism #StopFundingHate https://t.co/Yp40CBD7WJ

Nazty Naz Shah [so very in line with the BBC’s own values] has been trying to silence the free Press or at least intimidate and bully them into publishing only pro-Muslim material, apparently they are not allowed to print anything critical of Islam or Muslim behaviour if it is linked to their religion….she organised a letter attacking the Sun for pointing out there is a problem with Muslim men targeting white girls and she’s targeting the Mail by trying to stop companies working with it using the lefty site #StopFundingHate…naturally you stop ‘hate’ by hating those whom you hate….in this case ‘right-wing’ papers….
Stop Funding Hate’s focus is companies that advertise in The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Daily Express. It calls for them to pull their ads and urging customers to make clear their disapproval.
In the Mail’s case they are targeting Nectar…telling you to cut up your card and send it back to Nectar…
Dear @nectar ~
Why are you funding hate? #nectar #DailyFail #StopFundingHate pic.twitter.com/KpSG15oFPw— Sequin World ???????? (@ann_sequinworld) August 15, 2017
If you really want to stop funding hate I suggest you cut up your TV License and send half to your MP and half to Lord Hall Hall and inform them you will not be renewing it, the BBC being the most prolific and powerful spreader of hate and division out there as it hates whites, men, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, straight people, police, military, Tories, loathes UKIP, hates and abuses Leavers as stupid, bigoted racists and not forgetting the right-wing Press. However it does love terrorists, Muslim, Irish whomever as long as they are fighting ‘The West’ or ‘The Establishment’ or Jews. The BBC promotes an extremist open borders immigration policy regardless of the consequences, or in fact, possibly desiring the destabilising effects and conflicts that will arise [have arisen] as Western society is torn apart and destroyed by waves of migrants with absolutely no intention of integrating and conforming to the standards expected of them in order to maintain a cohesive and stable society.
The anti-Semitic [though you wouldn’t know it now listening to the BBC…fully rehabilitated there] Naz Shah demonstrates not just her own hypocrisy as she ‘challenges the Daily Mail’ claiming it is trying to silence those who challenge racism and sexism [hmm…Daily Mail has been at forefront of the campaign to expose Rotherham etc] but also shows she is of like-minds with the BBC as they try to, er, silence those who challenge racism and sexism……

Oh but wait….earlier she retweeted this message from what is in fact an Owen Jones parody site [none needed I would have thought]…..and it is real….just remember it was Naz Shah who organised that ‘outraged’ letter complaining about the Sun’s article that talked of a ‘Muslim problem’ in relation to sex attacks on white girls….
Naz Shah MP (Labour) retweeted @Owen_Jones84 :
RT @Owen_Jones84: @AreeqChowdhury @NazShahBfd Exactly Areeq, those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths…
Did you see this?
I will be discussing it with James Whale on Talk Radio tonight at 8.35pm if you fancy tuning in.
The bottom line for me is that we are having a Licence tax extorted from us to ensure that the like of Alan Yenbob, for example, can enjoy a retirement pension of £216,000+.
