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…

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….

Did you see this?

BBC’s £1.8bn pension black hole will swallow a TENTH of the licence fee next year after corporation runs out of options to try and tackle the deficit

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+.

Your comments?

OK, another week of relentless BBC bias and THIS is where you capture it! Over to you, dear reader….

The first thing the BBC likes to mention in any report on Islamic terrorism is that the perpetrators may be mentally ill.

Have you heard the BBC say a word about the car driver who drove into the counter-protestors…has the BBC ever mentioned in its bulletins that he was psychotic?  Or that we should have sympathy for him as he was rejected by the army…for his psychotic medical history?

“Senior year, he was real gung-ho on joining the Army and . . . toward the end of the year found out that he was denied and it was because of a history of anti-psychotic, you know, medication that was prescribed,” he said.

What’s the best the BBC can come up with?

The newspaper also reports that while living in Florence, Kentucky, his mother called 911 at least nine times “to say she was fearful of and needed help with her sometimes violent son”.

According to “calls for service” records provided by the Florence Police Department to the Associated Press, Mrs Bloom said her son had stood behind her wheelchair wielding a long kitchen knife, and had hit her and locked her in a washroom after she told him to stop playing video games.

She also told officers that her son was on medication to help control his temper.

So not that he had mental health problems or was psychotic but he couldn’t ‘control his temper’… a slippery phrase which kind of makes it his fault….just an angry young man who beat his mother when he didn’t get his way.

Of course it was the same with the killer of Jo Cox.  The BBC never mentioned his documented mental health problems in their bulletins when in comparison they repeatedly mention any Islamist terrorist’s supposed mental health issues.

If you’re white you’re a racist Nazi, if you’re brown you’re a victim in some shape or form…as Julie Burchill notes in the Spectator….

The right is now more colourblind than the left

Then I moved to London in the 1970s, I quickly became aware that the non-working-class Left operated what was best described as Paint-Chart Politics [PCP]– the further from white, the more likely you were to be right. This began in a small way, with reggae bands who believed stuff about women that would have had them condemned as fascist Neanderthals had they been white playing under the Rock Against Racism flag; in recent years, it has seen the Left support similar Islamist stone-agers just because they’re the right (Left) side of beige.

In more recent years, Paint-Chart Politics has been ruining the lives of even more children, though this time exclusively female ones as the police forces of Newcastle, Rotherham, Rochdale and Oxfordshire chose to turn a blind eye to the rape, torture and trafficking of thousands of girls simply because the men doing it were darker-skinned than their victims. As Sarah Champion – driven out of the shadow cabinet this week for daring to state the obvious case that this country has ‘a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls…because people are more afraid to be called a racist than they are afraid to be wrong about calling out child abuse’ – has proved, the messenger will be routinely shot for speaking plainly; far better to tie oneself in the knots the media is now entangled in where by fearing accusations of racism by naming the rapists as being of Pakistani origin, they have slandered a whole continent by repeatedly using the weasel word ‘Asian’.

How appropriate that PCP is also the name of a pesticide sometimes used as the recreational drug ‘angel dust’ whose side effects include paranoia, hallucinations, depersonalisation, detachment from reality and severe changes in body image (think of Rachel Dolezal, who was so obsessed with race that she pretended to be black.) If this week’s hounding of Sarah Champion is anything to go by, it’s unlikely that practitioners of this most pointless persuasion will come to their senses any time soon.

The BBC have nowt to say about Scottish ‘Nationalism’, it supports [as does Corbyn] IRA nationalist terrorism as well as Muslim supremacist terror, it is also remarkably accommodating when reporting on Catalonian asperations towards independence…you won’t find any sly allusions to Fascism, the Far-Right, or Nazis in this report unlike any the BBC files on UKIP…and not a murmur about concentration camps or ethnic cleansing that the BBC so often slips into its reporting about ‘Right-wing’ ‘independence activists’.  What does a Catalonian ‘Fascist’ look like through the BBC lens?…

For Adrià Alsina Leal, professor of journalism and communications at the Central University of Catalonia and a Catalan independence activist, “solidarity is welcome from wherever it comes”.

Ah..an ‘independence activist’…sounds rather benign and left-wing doesn’t it?  Not an ignorant, white, working class little Catalonian then with a hint of the Nazi about him? [Wonder how the BBC would react if Catalan wanted to secede from the EU…bit of a conflict there at the BBC editorial meeting]  The BBC of course likes regions splitting off from the national as it breaks apart the nation state and makes the smaller independent regions then dependent, ironically, on the EU….The SNP a case in point…desperate to leave the oppressions suffered under Westminster for the sunny uplands of the EU superstate.

As for terrorism…well the real victims could well be Muslims…perhaps it is us that drives them to take up terrorism as a response….we must stop all this anti-terrorism activity…it just upsets the terrorists and makes them more terroristy….

Human rights activist Josep Maria Royo’s immediate response to the violence in Barcelona was to go on social media in an effort to calm people down.

“People were sharing images of their crime which showed children, blood, injured people,” he said.

“It’s easy to spread a message of hate against the Islamic population. We must stop these expressions of hate.”

While this was a moment for giving support to the victims, there had to be a rethink on how to combat terrorism, he said.

Mass surveillance and intensive use of the military and the police did not work, he argued. Instead, “human rights, tolerance and democracy” should be promoted.

“We are a city with a large number of immigrants, a city that wants to welcome refugees, a city that wants to offer a different model of response in the event of terrorism,” said Luca. “Now is a moment to think different.”

Sweet.  Bonkers, mad, suicidal… but so sweet.

Why was Spain attacked?  No idea…why was it Barcelona then?….

Why did they attack Barcelona, I asked.

“Because Barcelona is always in the papers,” she said. “When you’re a terrorist, no-one will pay attention if you attack a little village lost in the middle of nowhere, yes? But attack Barcelona and everyone is going to read about it.”

Hmmm…but again why Spain at all?

The Spectator points the way…..

If foreign policy isn’t to blame, could it be social deprivation, the other favourite excuse trotted out by apologists whenever there’s an Islamist attack in Europe?

For 700 years the Iberian peninsula belonged to Islam [after Muslims invaded] until the Reconquista drove out the last of the Muslim invaders in 1492.

This still rankles in the Islamic world with some scholars regarding 1492 as the year that Muslim influence began it inexorable decline. Osama Bin Laden made frequent references to the ‘tragedy of Andalusia’, and Al Qaeda justified the 2004 train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people by saying ‘this is only part of the settlement of old scores with Crusader Spain’.

All this talk of ‘Crusaders’ and ‘invaders’ ignores one crucial historical fact. Who invaded who first? 1492 wasn’t about Christian imperialism, it was a reconquest of land subjugated by the Muslim invaders of seven hundred years earlier. But the Islamists never let the truth get in the way of a good Jihad.

Only one issue…the article fails to spell out fully that once a land is invaded by Muslims and held by them that land is forever considered ‘Muslim’. Hence Spain is still ‘Muslim’ and they have that duty to recapture it…hence no matter how you appease them they will still come….just as it is a Muslim’s duty to spread Islam and win converts in any land they are in and to, once they have sufficient numbers, make Islam the dominant religion and political ideology.

Learn this lesson or weep like a woman for what you could not, would not, defend as a man…..so un-PC on so many levels that.

The BBC’s Sarah Brett labelled Breitbart a Far-Right organisation saying its main followers were white supremacists.  Whilst this may be the orthodox BBC liberal’s view, not only is it not true but even the BBC probably thinks Brett went too far in openly expressing such views as its usual description now is that Breitbart is ‘ultra-conservative’.  Oddly dubious Muslim groups like the MCB, Cage, Mend or MPACUK are never described in such terms and in fact are treated with a grovelling reverence, their every word repeated with a degree of respect never given to respectable parties like UKIP or even the ultra mainstream Tories.

The BBC undermined its own claims yesterday as it fielded a media expert on the BBC news channel [not sure who he was as only saw last bit…1400 ish] who told us that Breitbart wasn’t about partisan reporting, it wasn’t an issue of neutrality…Breitbart was reporting what other news organisations don’t, or won’t, report…such as on immigration and Islam.  He also gave us a clue as to why the BBC doesn’t like Breitbart.  Not only does it reveal to the world facts the BBC would like kept hidden it is also in the top 30 of news providers on Facebook and something like 63rd in the US traffic ratings, which the commentator said made it a ‘leviathan’….with bigger reach than the BBC…75th in the US.

No wonder the BBC works so hard to malign this political rival just as it tried to destroy Murdoch and News Iinternational.

Good of the BBC to police the airwaves and decide who we can watch or listen to.
