Another day and another instance of poverty hustling from the well off given max publicity on the BBC.

Nearly a third of the population of Britain is living on an “inadequate” income, according to research by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). In 2014-15, it said that 19 million people were living on less than the Minimum Income Standard (MIS). It said the problem was that household costs have been rising, while incomes have stagnated.

Now the Rowntree Foundation specialises in this kind of specious clap trap, continually whining about just how awful life is and how dreadful the inequality is that afflicts our Nation.  I was amused at this new “measure” of what constitutes “inadequate” income – yes, the sexy new MIS.

The MIS is set by experts at Loughborough University, and is based on what members of the public think is a reasonable income to live on.

“Experts” at a University and based on what “the public think” – utterly risible and yet allowed to generate BBC headlines.  It’s a toss up between the Resolution Foundation and the Rowntree Foundation as to which can get the most mileage for their left wing agenda from the BBC.

The BBC is flooding the schedules with programmes designed to educate us about how unpleasant and stupid we are to vote for Trump or Brexit.  I don’t think there is a programme that in some shape or form does not have such  veiled and sinister messages implanted within either deriding and mocking Trump or scaremongering about Brexit.  Switch on the TV or radio anytime at random and you can almost guarantee Trump/Brexit being maligned and undermined.

On Saturday on ‘Inside Out London’ [Any coincidence that the logo for this programme is Islamically inspired?] we had the smug and right-on Matthew Wright introducing a programme on alleged discrimination against Muslims [another one of those subjects the BBC fills the airwaves with, when it’s not telling us how wonderful Isam is] with the thought that thank goodness for Trump because his racism puts it back in the news agenda.  Wright was telling us how Muslims are discriminated in the jobs market.  How does he know?  Because a Muslim academic tells him so.  An academic who says he himself is discriminated against and he has developed a test to prove it…and naturally he does so.  Might suggest the opposite is true…Muslims get preferential treatment.  The trick is to have some useful idiot plant some bombs in the name of Islam, claim they were driven to it by anti-Muslim discrimination, then claim that Muslims themselves are the real victims of the bombs…..politicians panic and the likes of the BBC work as the propaganda arm of the Islamists and promote the narrative that Muslims are the victims of British society…everyone then panders to this narrative and you get an Islamist like Warsi placed as Chair of the Tory Party.  So like the 1930’s.

Trump came up again this morning in a highly disrespectful and insulting manner as the BBC trailed ‘The Life Scientific’ by saying you might think Trump was mentally ill but that would be insulting to the mentally ill. This was on the prime-time Today show….astonishing that they think it appropriate not only to insult the President of the United States but to do so by using ‘mental health’ as an insult….so the ‘mentally ill’ are now figures of hate and abuse for the BBC?  It is remarkable how the BBC’s employees think they have a licence to so casually insult and abuse Trump in such a contemptuous manner, a manner they would never dream of using for Obama or Merkel.  It’s outright prejudice from our supposedly gold standard news outlet.

Brexit is also the de rigeur subject to link to in any programme…preferably in as negative and derogatory a tone as possible.  The standard form is to link Brexit to the 1930’s or Fascism or the Far Right.  I haven’t listened to much of the BBC’s ‘Brexit: A guide for the perplexed’ but I don’t think I’m missing much as it seems just to be the usual excuse for scaremongering and generating hate against Leave voters who were described in yet another sly attack on Brexit as being ‘people who will rise up against the elite and beat ‘the Other’ to death’ .  Leave voters apparently fear change and such fears were inflamed by the nasty rhetoric of polticians and journalists [naturally pro-Brexit ones…the Remain camp’s lies and alarmism never gets mentioned].  We are informed that Parliament has no idea what the hell it has let itself in for by voting for Brexit.  All those EU regulations will have to go and we just can’t cope [er…no, they don’t have to go].  Apparently Ministers will invoke ‘Henry VIII’ clauses and bypass Parliament using statutory instruments to avoid scrutiny and trash laws as they like…this [Brexit], we are told, is very, very dangerous.   But the EU laws do not have to go, they can remain in force until government decides they need to be amended….there is no rush..,.if they work, they work.  The BBC is just inventing problems as it tries to generate alarm and fear about Brexit.

I’m sure you have read a bit about the BBC’s James Purnell’s comments on the future of the BBC and how it will ‘reinvent’ itself…mostly it seems by rewriting history and denigrating Britain…so no change there then.

Facts, accuracy, truth, seem to have been abandoned in favour of ’empathy’ and manipulating the news so as not to offend anyone….so again no change there then…

 There’s no canon, no set texts, nobody is handing down tablets of stone. It’s about working out what we want from life, and learning the empathy that, as Peter Bazalgette argued recently, “is the glue that enables families, communities and countries to function in a civil and civilised manner”.

So much for this laughably pompous and ridiculous comment…

Fake news is a serious concern but we should not be too despondent because today’s media is also the greatest educational resource the world has ever seen.

The BBC is the biggest peddler of fake news in the world…it criticises Russia’s alleged nterference in the US election [by publishing genuine and inconveniently ‘sensitive’ emails on Clinto and Co] and yet the BBC has an enormous budget from government to broadcast propaganda to countries it thinks are in need of its help in toppling those leaders and regimes it sees as ‘unBBC’ in an exercise of soft power….such as er…Russia.

Purnell goes on…

…after solving the meaning of life and the future of the world, we’ll turn to civilisation. Well, Civilisations — inspired by Kenneth Clark’s seminal documentary series, but in many ways the opposite of the original. Rather than a single view of civilisation, we will have three presenters. Rather than looking at Western civilisation, we will look at many, and question the very concept of civilisation.

Naturally at least two strands will be Islam and Black Africa with the line that both are innocent victims of White oppression.  The presenters will use the programme to launch an all out attack on the West whilst painting a picture of incredible and beautiful native cultures languishing under the brutal colonial whiphand.

You can get a taste of what is to come by looking at this week’s ‘Book of the Week’…’The Age of Anger’ by Pankaj Mishra…You can get an idea of his thinking here…any wonder why the BBC gives him airtime?….The BBC’s favourite whipping boys…..Trump, Brexit, Nationalism, Hindus….

In a ground-breaking new analysis, Pankaj Mishra traces the tangled roots of hatreds and nationalisms across the world.

Inspired by Hindu nationalists in his own country, the rise of the so-called Islamic State, the emergence of Donald Trump as a candidate for President, as well as Brexit, the author attempts to re-examine the divided modern world.

Mishra himself explains…

How can we explain the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in our close-knit world – from American ‘shooters’ and ISIS to Trump, from a rise in vengeful nationalism across the world to racism and misogyny on social media?

So Trump, Brexit, mass murderers and ISIS…all one and the same.

Mishra is apparently a self-proclaimed Buddhist but one who loves Islam and proselytises relentlessly for it whilst demonising Hindus and anyone who criticises Islam…again so BBC.

Here’s what the site ‘Butterflies and Wheels’ says about Mishra’s attack on one he describes as the anti-Islam  ‘Enlightenment fundamentalist’ Ayaan Hirsi Ali…

It’s ugly, nasty, bullying, innuendo-laden stuff…. patronizing clueless nonsense.

That’s in fact pretty much a description of his ‘Book of the Week’ in which we are told the ‘white supremacist’ Trump and Brexit are the end result of the rise in racism and the Far Right fueled by foaming-at-the-mouth demagogues,  telling us that ‘It is a moment for thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, who warned in 1915 that the “primitive, savage and evil impulses of mankind have not vanished in any individual”, but are simply waiting for the opportunity to show themselves again.’

I thought people just voted to leave the undemocratic, autocratic EU…who knew eh?  Primitive, savage and evil bastards? Well I never did.

Yep…just a foretaste of what the BBC is planning to use your licence money for, to propagate its anti-white, anti-Western, anti-Brexit, anti-Trump messages.

The BBC’s message is one of hate, it’s divisive and dangerous.  If the same messages were being said about Muslims and Islam the BBC would be up in arms…instead it peddles its own racism, prejudice and hate against Leave voters and whites.

Enjoy.

“Never stop speaking out, never accept the distortions, never accept the lies & never give up”

I was on RT news and did not miss the target!

Monday and time for a new one of these! This is where you detail the bias!

“Never stop speaking out, never accept the distortions, never accept the lies & never give up”

Try chucking a banana onto the pitch at a football match when a  black player appears and see the BBC’s reaction….just a laugh, just a bit o’banter?  Think not.

Try putting on an anti-English advert for the Six Nations and the BBC thinks that’s all just a bit of a laugh, so much of a laugh that Emma Barnett wheeled in not one, but two comedians to tell us how stupid we all are to get upset…just a bit of banter innit?! Poshboy Jack Whitehall told us it was all a joke and that people just love taking offence, especially if it is the BBC.  Welsh comedian [guess what he thinks] said he wasn’t offended [uhhh??…He’s Welsh, why would he be offended at insulting the English?]..the problem, he went on, was just some self-righteous do-gooder complaining…it was the lunatic fringe kicking in, but it was just great banter.

Emma Barnett thought maybe we are getting more easily offended now.  Maybe Barnett will have our national treasure, comedian Lenny Henry, telling us a bit of banana chucking is just  great banter…people are so easily offended these days.

I await with interest the BBC’s trailer for its next programme on Islam, sure to be in the pipeline [along with 21 other such programmes]…will we have Christians being asked ‘What’s good about Islam’ and looking bemused and lost for words?  Doubt that.

The problem with the advert is not the advert in itself but the BBC’s hypocrisy…and its usual default position of thinking it is OK to be racist to white people, or English people, or to attack Christianity, or to smear Leave voters as stupid whilst not applying the same standards to other races, religions or political groups.

“Never stop speaking out, never accept the distortions, never accept the lies & never give up”

The problem with Leave voters, and there is a problem, is that they just don’t understand.  It’s not their fault of course, it’s just that they haven’t the mental capacity to understand the world around them, what’s good for them,  they just aren’t educated enough…they’re dumb f**ks really.

So says the BBC…

The BBC has obtained a more localised breakdown of votes from nearly half of the local authorities which counted EU referendum ballots last June.

This information provides much greater depth and detail in explaining the pattern of how the UK voted. The key findings are:

• The data confirms previous indications that local results were strongly associated with the educational attainment of voters – populations with lower qualifications were significantly more likely to vote Leave.

• The level of education had a higher correlation with the voting pattern than any other major demographic measure from the census

We have looked at this slur from the BBC before but Dominic Lawson in the Sunday Times quotes the author of ‘The Black Swan’, Nicholas Taleb, on the subject of useful, if intelligent, idiots…

‘The IYI [Intellectual Yet Idiot] pathologises others for things he doesn’t understand without realising it is his understanding that may be limtied.  He thinks people should act according to their interests, and he knows their interests, particularly if they are…[the] English non-crisp-vowel class who voted for Brexit.  When plebeians do something that makes sense to them, but not to him, the IYI uses the term ‘uneducated’.

Lawson finishes….‘Dear BBC: award that man the Reith Lectures’

Of course it was the ‘intelligentsia’ who were most attracted to the delights of communism and Fascism….and now the EU and Islam.

“Never stop speaking out, never accept the distortions, never accept the lies & never give up”

Thanks to Guest Who and DB…Samira Ahmed, the BBC’s impartiality watchdog, must give herself good talking to surely?….

Proof of #endofdays? Donald Trump was carved as a gargoyle in Southwell Minster 700 years ago…

Perhaps this is the proof of #endlessBBCbias?…..Samira Ahmed carved as a Gargoyle on BBC House elegantly, and so true to life, caught in her normal pose as a presenter…..

“Never stop speaking out, never accept the distortions, never accept the lies & never give up”

I don’t know if any of you caught the several BBC interviews with Denzel Washington last week…the main concern, naturally, was that the Oscars were too ‘white’…aren’t they?

Amusingly Washington completely dismissed that line of thought pointing out that he has been nominated 8 times and has won two Oscars.  He said if it ain’t on the page it ain’t on the stage…meaning Black actors, writers and directors had to start producing, and producing good stuff,  not relying on reverse racism, positive discrimination, to get their work produced and seen.  He, and many others, is proof that if you’re good enough the awards and the money will come.  He said the fact that last year’s Oscars were so white was mere chance and not conspiracy.

BBC interviewers must have gone away very disappointed, no gold star from the boss after failing to tick that box.

The BBC asks...How do fake news sites make money?

Curiously no mention of the licence fee that the BBC extorts from us.

The BBC was also reporting this week that our money, that is supposed to go to charities, is being used to fund terrorism as their advertising goes to ‘radical’ websites.

So does your money go to fund terrorism, or to fund Muslim religious bigotry, or to fund anti-Christian, anti-Hindu, anti-Buddhist bigotry, or to fund pro-EU propaganda, or to fund the promotion of an extremist pro-mass immigration policy, or to fund the demonisation of Israel, or to fund the spread of anti-Semitism in Europe, or to fund the Labour Party, or to fund anti-Brexit reporting, or to fund anti-Trump prejudice, do you fund the Orwellian manufacture of fake news on an industrial scale?

If you pay the BBC licence fee then you may well be funding all those things.

Some satire for you. Or is it…?  This via The Codpiece, a friend of Biased BBC.

John Bercow insists it’s “literally impossible” for him to be politically partial because he reads The Guardian and watches BBC news.

Speaker of the House Bercow is expected to be politically neutral. But a series of massively partial outbursts have brought his position into disrepute, prompting calls for his sacking.

Mr Bercow believes the attacks are themselves politically motivated, instigated by “Daily Mail reading Tories”.

He said: “As an avid Guardian reader and BBC news consumer – TV, radio and digital – it’s literally impossible for me to be politically biased, so pure are my sources of information.

“My opponents, on the other hand, are clearly nothing more than rabble rousing, Daily Mail reading Tories who most definitely are motivated by rabid bias.”

Paraphrasing impartial Guardian and BBC narratives, Mr Bercow concluded: “Fuck Brexit. Fuck Trump. And Fuck you right-wing Conservative retards who are trying to oust me.”

Mr Bercow called rumours that he was once a Conservative MP himself “fake news”.
