Category Archives: BBC bias

Mark Easton has always been extremely biased and not worth his salt as a journalist.  His ‘journalism’ consists mostly of telling us a very one-sided narrative about immigration….sitting on the BBC breakfast couch one morning a few years ago he treated us to his opinion, presented as ‘fact’ of course, that immigration is good, unstoppable and we’d better just get used to it and learn to like it.

Easton is the one who told us in the wake of the Trojan Horse plot [that the BBC still insists is a hoax] we should allow Muslims to Islamise schools, if Muslim parents want that we should let them have it.  Similarly he told us that Muslim extremists should be considered in the same heroic light as Churchill, Ghandi and Mandela.

Now he brings his toxic insights to Brexit in an ‘analysis’ that is beyond parody……did Easton write it or Nick Clegg?

What did the Brexit vote reveal about the UK?

We misinterpret the message of Brexit at our peril

Yes indeed, but not ‘we’ just you Easton who misinterprets Brexit….misinterprets or deliberately lies about it as some might suggest…..Here’s his basic thrust…..Brexit was not about immigration, not about sovereignty….

The vote for Brexit was a thunderous rumble of national indignation, an outpouring of frustrated fury that shook the foundations of the British state. We misinterpret its meaning at our peril.

“Brexit means Brexit” does not cut it.

This was much more than a simple referendum about membership of the European Union. Neither Brussels bureaucrats nor Polish plumbers were really the motivation for a popular revolt unparalleled in almost five centuries.

This was an act of extraordinary defiance against a system that does not and will not listen to people’s concerns and anxieties.

We need to be honest. Our governance, our democracy, does not function properly. It is failing the people of this country. That is the message of Brexit.

Thus we do not need to cut immigration nor our ties with the EU because the problem is ‘us’.

Of course that’s a deliberate twisting of the facts…..people are concerned about the lack of a voice but it was a lack of a voice on immigration and the EU that drove Brexit.

Here Easton tells another porkie…

I was very struck by the attitude of people I met in Port Talbot in South Wales.

Here was a place that has in the last decade received around a billion pounds in EU aid. It was due to receive around a billion pounds more over the next few years – money that is now very much in doubt.

And yet they voted emphatically to leave. Port Talbot is virtually untouched by the waves of immigration that some suggest was the driving force behind the referendum vote. I did not detect any profound ideological concerns over UK sovereignty either.

What I did hear were people who did not think anyone was listening to them. They felt powerless and ignored.

I’m sorry but Wales is strongly anti-immigration as a cursory check of the BBC’s own archives would have revealed to any real journalist not peddling a lie…..

The theme that emerges is that a larger percentage of people in Wales hold negative views on immigration than in Scotland, Northern Ireland or parts of south-east England and London.

In fact, the suggestion in the research by Wiserd – the Wales Insitute of Social and Economic Data and Methods – is that Wales shares similar, and more negative views, with neighbours in the English Midlands and the north of England.

Or this…pretty clear I might suggest…

EU Referendum: Immigration plays strong in Welsh valley

Easton goes on…

There was a time when people up and down the land believed they had some kind of control over their destiny. But one by one those traditional connections to power have been snapped.

Trade unionism has been neutered, local government is a shadow of its former self and political activism is, for the most part, simply shouting into the wind.

I’m sorry what?  Political activism is simply shouting in the wind?  Did he miss the result of the referendum or what?

It is an astonishing feat to write a whole article decrying the ‘elite’ for not listening when he himself, of the self-selected BBC elite, is pumping out what is a Remain piece of propaganda intent on dismissing all the concerns of the Leave voters.

Brexit means Brexit which means controlling immigration and severing the EU’s political and legal control of this country…and yes we know access to the Single Market may be limited …are you listening Easton?

Astonishing no?  A very serious statement that Jews are being driven out of universities by anti-Semitism and it is not being dealt with for fear of upsetting Muslim benefactors to the universities isn’t reported by the BBC….only mentioned in passing in the ‘What the papers say’….not on the front page, not on the UK page, not even on the education page…just a note in passing…..

The BBC is massively concerned about what Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen but seems entirely unconcerned that they are driving and funding a deadly Islamist agenda in the UK.  The BBC leapt on the story about Boris saying the Saudis were beyond the pale whilst paradoxically admitting that what he said was entirely true, and yet no interest at all it seems in what is happening to Jews in the UK.

Today has shown perfectly why you should despair if you think ‘radical’ Islam is a problem for Europe.

A Muslim drives a truck into a Christmas [Christian] market killing 14, injuring many in a deliberate attack.

What is the response from the BBC, the intelligence community, Royalty towards a radical Islam that is at war with the West?  Not the real threat.

Instead blame the Right, warn of the threat the Right poses, the threat ‘populism’ poses…and conflate them all with violent Far-Right groups.  Bury the truth along with the victims of ‘Radical’ Islam.

On the Today programme we were told the problem was not immigrants but immigrants being groomed once they were in Europe….thus you are supposed to conclude that it is a failure of Europe to stop radicalisation that is to blame not the immigrant himself…they are the ‘vulnerable victims’.  This narrative was backed up by ex-MI6 spook Richard Barrett who said the real question was why would someone want to spread terror?, telling us that it was alienation, marginalisation and discrimination that disassociated them from Society.  So again…it is our fault.  Why though is it so often only Muslims who ‘radicalise’, terrorise and kill people?  That’s the real question.

Later on John Humphrys wanted to know how we can stop radicalisation…first understand, admit, who and why, but no, all we got was another tale of immigrants being radicalised by people in Germany already.  However…the ‘big piece’ we are all missing, is the real problem….’cumulative radicalisation‘ no less.  What’s that?  The rise of the Far-Right of course. Others might call it ‘self-defence’.  When terrorists hit on 9/11 we invaded Afghanistan then Iraq….is that ‘radicalisation of the Far Right‘…is Tony Blair a fascist or worse, a populist?  I heard it was a justified response to a terror attack.

Anyway, as said before in the last post, the Far-Right would not be on the rise if the likes of the BBC had not worked to open the borders and flood Europe with people who have no loyalty and no desire to integrate into European societies in their millions.  Keep smacking someone around the head for long enough telling them how good it is for them and they’re bound to eventually hit back.  What’s that favourite Lefty word?  Blowback.

Then we had Prince Charles on Thought for the Day [0748] giving us a highly political sermon that essentially equated the Muslim terrorist and his fellow travellers in Germany with Jesus, Mary and Joseph…the Holy Family being refugees themselves.

If you were not a republican before you probably are now as you were treated to a highly misleading and dishonest interpretation of what is happening in the world.  Charlieboy told us of the terrible persecution of Christians, of Christians attacked and driven out of their own lands, not just Christians but Yazidis, Jews, Ahmadis, Bahais and other minority groups.  What he didn’t mention was who, what religious group, was doing the persecuting around the world….Muslims.  He then went on to raise the spectre of the 30’s again and said it was beyond belief that such a thing could be happening once more in Europe….yes Jews are being driven from Europe once more, but that wasn’t what he meant.  He spoke of other refugees coming into Europe who then suffered persecution from the ‘Populists’….a pretty disgraceful grouping of all those who voted for Brexit or want to limit immigration with Far-Right groups who use violence.  Again no mention of Muslims or the fact that it is in fact they who are driving the new ‘1930’s’ rise of anti-Semitism, backed by the Left….such as our own Labour Party….and by default those who back open borders like the BBC.

Charlieboy then mentions Islam, or rather Muhammed.  He was a refugee we are told, only wanting to worship freely.  Yes, just like the terrorists now…they do it to make Islam the dominant religion…so they can ‘worship freely’.  Muhammed was a warlord who used the religion to draw in supporters for his wars telling them God would reward them with loot, women and land.  He had a tribe of Jews beheaded, the women and children enslaved and engaged in a campaign of conquest and colonisation that has resulted in the mass oppression and the inhuman mentality of such a vast swathe of humanity.  Forget to mention that Charlieboy?

The BBC of course reported Charlieboy’s words eagerly…naturally going straight for the warning about a new Fascism stalking the land…

Prince Charles has spoken out about the danger of religious persecution, warning against a repeat of “the horrors of the past”.

Delivering BBC Radio 4’s Thought for the Day, the Prince of Wales said the rise of populist groups “aggressive” to minority faiths had “deeply disturbing echoes of the dark days” of the 1930s.

In the Christmas message, he urged respect for those of different faiths.

Then we have the video at the top of this post.  A Newsnight film…

Is the “alt right” on the rise in Europe? And if so, is it a fringe movement – or something bigger than that? BBC Newsnight’s Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Austria and France.

Gatehouse didn’t actually listen to what was being told to him.  He had a narrative and he stuck to it….what we got was a constant drumbeat warning us of the rise of a new Nazi regime….Gatehouse freely used words like ethnic cleansing, Nazis and references to concentration camps.  No analysis of the issues that politicises these people just condemnation and demonisation.  In other words just the usual BBC dangerously dismissive and contemptuous treatment telling us these groups had ideas ‘beyond the boundaries of the acceptable’…..er like controlling immigration and stopping Islamisation?  Very controversial.

Gatehouse ran through a list of ‘Far-Right’ issues to probe their ‘Far-Rightedness’…gays, Jews, ethnic minorities…er well that would include the Church of Engalnd then as ‘Far Right’ and Muslims of course…only yesterday the BBC was accusing the Cof E of institutional racism….and gays and Jews have never been top of the Christian church’s hit list (or rather…)…nor of the Islamic community’s.  Those under the inquisition actually said they had no problem with any if these issues.  Damn…Gatehouse had to try another tack.

Gatehouse hilariously asked if the ‘Far Right’ people he was interviewing had any gay friends…and thought it odd, and obviously an indictment, that they didn’t.  Yep he really did pull that old chestnut out of the fire….’I have a gay friend…so I can’t be prejudiced’ but turned on its head…’I have no gay friends, therefore I am homophobic’.

They then tell him that Jews are forced to flee Europe because of Muslim attacks and Gatehouse’s voice over then came up with the paradoxical gem that ‘Islamophobia is the new anti-Semitism’.  No Gatehouse, Islam is the new anti-Semitism….an irony, and a fucking disgrace, that Jews cannot go to university in Britain because of Charlieboy’s mates in the Gulf just as he preaches to us about ‘Islamophobia’…..

Some of Britain’s leading universities are becoming no-go zones for Jewish students because anti-Semitism is so rife, the first ever higher education adjudicator has warned. 

Baroness Ruth Deech, a cross-bench peer who formerly held the highest office dealing with student complaints, said that institutions may be failing to combat hatred against Jews as they “afraid of offending” their potential benefactors from Gulf states.

“Many universities are in receipt of or are chasing very large donations from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states and so on, and maybe they are frightened of offending them,” she said. “I don’t know why they aren’t doing anything about it, it really is a bad situation.”

These ‘Fascist’ ironically want a pan-European identity but with national identities maintained…strong European borders but ‘soft’ and pluralistic within.  Almost BBCish….or is it ‘Fascist’?

Hilariously Gatehouse complains that multiculturalism has lost its attractions and now the politics of identity has taken over.  Er what?  Identity politics is a classic left-wing approach to society…divide and rule, everyone divided up by race and religion and offered policies to suit each and every group in order to win their vote.   A famously left-wing tactic.  Multiculturalism was all about identity and ‘celebrating diversity’…in other words separate identities.  But now it’s a bad thing, in fact a totally diffferent thing, something to label the Right with as yet another example of ‘Fascism’.  On the BBC’s ‘Muslims Like Us’ you’ll see the devout Muslims declare that they are ‘Muslim first’.  Not ‘Britain first’ then?  No shock and horror about that though.  It is, apparently, not just Fascism that results from the ‘new’ identity politics but ethnic cleansing as well as Gatehouse goes on to explain as he links to another issue….a group in France says that if immigrants don’t want to integrate they will offer them money and the chance to go to a country where they will feel more at home…not force them but offer them.  Gatehouse says this is ‘ethnic cleansing’.  Never mind the UK government already does it.

Are you starting to get the idea that Gatehouse doesn’t have a clue what he is saying and what the reality is and has his own agenda to peddle?

You actually struggle to see what the spectre of the 30’s is here…just what are the policies and ideas that Gatehouse says are ‘Far-Right’ or ‘ethnic cleansing’ or have the whiff of the concentration camp about them or have ‘scary connotations’?  They all seem fairly mainstream and indeed already put into practise by many governments.  Gatehouse comes with preconceived ideas about these people and completely ignores what they actually say preferring to overlay everything with his own narrative, colouring what they say in the darkest tones when such an interpretation, at least from what they said on film, is far from the mark.

Gatehouse in essence has ‘faked’ a film, producing something that is indeed reminiscent of the Thirties…the propaganda films of the Nazis.

Interesting to see that the Right-wingers are all young, educated people….yet another BBC lie laid to rest that it is just ignorant old people who don’t want to see the wonders of the über-Liberal world vision imposed upon them.

The BBC and the Great and the Good bemoan the rise of the Far-Right, the Right itself, of ‘Populism’, that voice of the People so long suppressed and silenced by the BBC and the Great and the Good, now exercising their democratic rights.

They tell us the great Liberal project is under attack, from the Right, and that we are in great danger, the Thirties loom over us again….why?  Take your pick….due either to Tory austerity, Brexit or Neo-Nazis on the march…they’re all the same to the BBC.

What they don’t dare say is where the real threat comes from and why the People are refusing to accept the Liberal world view as professed by the BBC et al.

Why are the liberal orthodoxies under threat?  Is it because of some nihilistic, irrational, emotional, white supremacist, nationalistic driven rage and prejudice that we are told is the reason?  Did this anger and determination to stop the liberal dictatorship come out of nowhere?  Of course not but you’d be hard pressed to find the BBC provide you with a true analysis of why revolution is in the air.  And is ‘liberalism’ really under threat as the BBC insists or is it the elements of Liberalism that are illiberal, the silencing of debate, the crushing of anyone who dissents from the über-liberal narrative, the labelling of anyone who talks about immigration as a Nazi, the undemocratic imposition of EU tyranny, the bizarre promotion by liberals of that other tyranny, Islam?

Ultimately it is that last subject that is the deal breaker, the one that ends the consent of the people to the liberal project as the BBC et al work towards to a virtual ethnic and religious cleansing of Europe of its Christian, and hideously white peoples by importing millions of people whose culture, identity and ideologies are so implacably opposed to European values and beliefs that a clash is inevitable.  They wish to make Christians and Whites a minority in Europe.

The Liberals have caused the rise of the Right by their own illiberalism, their own tyranny of the virtuous.  But they don’t see that.  The answer they think is to do what the addicted gambler does as he loses his shirt at the tables, double up….all on Black presumably.

The answer  to complaints about immigration is not less but more immigration…the happy clappy reason is that once we realise how wonderful immigrants are we’ll come round to accepting them en masse.  The real intention is of course to get so many immigrants into Europe as to make it seemingly impossible to remove them or to stop their influence.  Hmmm…for people who keep mentioning the Thirties that seems a dangerously foolish and naive notion…and if the Liberals’ policies are leading to the Thirties then they have knowingly created that situation but have buried their heads in the sand about it.  Six million Jews are a testament to the stupidity and evilness of the Liberal plan…almost deliberately provoking the very ‘final solution’ scenario that they not so very subtly imply is the endgame if the Far Right were to take power…of course the Far Left would be just as likely to be similarly inclined though the BBC does not raise that possibility.  If war breaks out and civilisation is cast aside then there are no rules, no Geneva Convention, no human rights.  The BBC et al are creating the situation where that conflict is ever more likely.  German and French politicans already state we are at war with ‘radical’ Islam.  If anyone has ‘enabled’ Fascism or Socialism it is the Liberal elite.

The other concern is related to that immigration, Islam, radical or otherwise.  Again the answer is to double up…the answer to Muslims becoming radicalised is…more Islam.  Create a society where Islam is the norm, where Muslims practise their religion as they like to its full extent and of course non-Muslims will have to comply and adopt practices that don’t ‘offend’ Muslims, in effect becoming virtual Muslims and Muslims won’t then feel ‘alienated’.  So to stop radical Muslims ‘Islamising’ society we Islamise it first.  Good plan.

The BBC et al can bury their heads in the sand all they like.  All they will get is one big kick up the backside…Trump and Brexit may just be the start.

When the news broke of the Berlin Christmas market attack, the BBC was right to the fore in initially presenting it as somehow a lorry had attacked the people enjoying the Market. I half expected them to release a photo line up of possible suspects. When they had to grudgingly admit that the suspect was an illegal immigrant, I thought they might cry. 2016 may not have given us that which many of us on this site want to see – namely the BBC detached from the mandatory £3.5bn a year license tax it uses to propagandise BUT it has shown that new media is now a serious rival to the Fake News BBC in terms of influence, speed and diversity. That please me. I find it painful to listen to much of the BBC output these days since the BIAS is so overt, the deceit is so obvious. But so is the worry – so is their concern that people can now click on Twitter, or Gab, or Facebook, or Youtube, and find analysis that blows the BBC bias apart!

I’m sure you’ve all seen this….a Muslim is removed from a plane because he spoke Arabic….

A YouTube star’s video about his removal from a Delta Air Lines flight has gone viral across social media.

Adam Saleh told the BBC he was asked to get off the London-New York flight on Wednesday after speaking to his mother in Arabic on the phone.

He said a fellow passenger had expressed feeling uncomfortable.

Delta Air Lines confirmed that two customers were removed after a “disturbance” and said it would investigate the report.

The BBC gives it the full ‘poor little Muslim’ treatment and ends with the information that there is a hashtag you can support…

Soon after the Heathrow incident, the hashtag #BoycottDelta was trending in London and his updates on Twitter were getting lots of shares.

The BBC admits the guy is a prankster who has pulled off some hoaxes..

Mr Saleh is well-known for carrying out pranks, which he posts on YouTube.

Earlier this month, he claimed to have hidden in a suitcase and travelled from Melbourne to Sydney in the hold. It was later exposed as a hoax.

Oddly though they fail to tell us about another well known ‘hoax’ by him, you might call it part of the Media Jihad, that was intended to portray New York police as anti-Muslim…unfortunately the policeman was an actor…that’s not a ‘prank’, that’s deliberate black propaganda intended to whip up anger and protest by Muslims aimed at forcing a subsequent media and political drive to combat supposed ‘Islamophobia’ as Muslims are portrayed as victims.  Just why does the BBC not want us to know about this fakery especially as it is so relevant to the recent incident of fake Islamophobia on the plane?….

This according to a passenger on the plane is what really happened…Saleh and his friend shouted in Arabic across the plane and abused the passengers whilst filming their reactions…they were then chucked off the plane…again why has the BBC not bothered to report or even check out this, some might say, crucial information?…

Guest post here from a B-BBC reader..

“The BBC – and the whole MSM – can’t help but create a total paradox when it comes to the representation of Islam.

Is it Friday that 5Live is inviting you to confess your sins and to recant? You voted Brexit but you now realise the error of your ways [having been wisely guided by the new priesthood of the BBC] and you wish to wash away those sins and vote again and again and again…until the the Good Lord Juncker is pleased with what he sees.

Perhaps we better save a bit of space on the open thread for that one…

This is why people hate the slippery, lying politicians and vote for Trump or Brexit….Brendan Cox yesterday….

Nigel Farage has sparked outrage among Labour politicians after linking the widower of murdered MP Jo Cox to “extremists”.

The former UKIP leader criticised Brendan Cox after he questioned the politician’s claim that the Berlin lorry attack was “Merkel’s legacy”.

Mr Cox said “blaming politicians for the actions of extremists” was a “slippery slope”

Brendan Cox 6 months ago [in an article written before the death of his wife but reported after]….

Mainstream politicians are legitimising extremist anti-immigrant views by “aping” far-right rhetoric, the bereaved husband of killed MP Jo Cox has said.

Brendan Cox on that ‘slippery slope’ no?

Merkel is to blame [and not her alone…all those politicians, like Cox himself, who grandstanded and virtue signalled how moral and caring they were as they argued for no controls on immigration], she unilaterally opened the borders without consulting any other EU country and encouraged millions of Muslims [mostly young men and not the women and children the BBC always showed] to flood into Europe, the risk of terrorism is massive but that is not the only consideration…long term German, European, culture and civilisation is under threat.  It would be nice to be asked.  If Europe falls one massive bastion against barbarism in the world falls with it and the world becomes less safe, less humane.

Amusing to listen to the Today programme this morning and hear Montague ignore the German guest as he told her, several times, the real threat to Merkel was from the Left-leaning side of her coalition…Montague kept insisting it was the Right that was her real threat.  Obsessed is the BBC.

Those killed at the Christmas Market would still be alive today if Merkel had kept her mouth, and the borders, shut.

I finally managed to watch the BBC’s little bit of pro-Muslim propaganda, ‘Muslims Like Us’, which was a programme targeted at non-Muslims and intended to alter their perceptions of Muslims.  We are supposed to learn that there is no stereotypical Muslim, no one ‘Islam’ and if we only get to know Muslims we will learn to love them and their foibles.  A huge lie of course…there is only one Islam, Muslims may not follow its teachings…but then they shouldn’t really be considered Muslim.  The absolute central tenet of the religion is one faith, one god, one mosque…hence the raised single finger so many Muslims raise….such as when one killed the Russian ambassador in Turkey.

This is the essence of the programme…

‘This is about a battle for the soul of Islam…what makes a good Muslim’

The problem with that is that it doesn’t genuinely ask, never mind answer, the question…‘What is Islam?’.  What we got was a lot of shouting and not much enlightenment.  In the programme it is fascinating to see that the ‘liberal’ Muslims [of the ten there are two genuinely ‘liberal’ Muslims and one of those is gay and knows pretty much nothing about the religion] don’t want to hear the fundamentals of the religion and in fact they deny what they hear is true despite coming from the Koran and Hadith. Which is interesting as we are told how sacred the Koran is and yet….not so much…the true word of God is dismissed as lies….at one point the Islamic professions by one Muslim were denounced as ‘crazy…his ideas are extremely dangerous…not Islamic’…and yet they were the true Islam.

They all identify as Muslim and yet many did not want the rules and strictures associated with a true following of the religion.

The one genuine Liberal, Naila, was essentially non-practising and her words were very telling….

‘I would be considered a bad Muslim…but a good human being’

She went on to say [I paraphrase]…

‘The Muslim God is a very punishing God…all about guilt and shame…designed for mass control and humiliation…it conditions people’

What’s not to like?

There was a lot of controversy over one supposed ‘extremist’, Abdul Haqq, being on the programme and yet all he did was practise and preach the fundamentals of Islam taken from the Koran and Hadith which is the whole point of the religion….so you have to ask if he is ‘extremist’ is Islam also extreme in itself?  Haqq was genial if obsessed and literal about Islam but make no mistake he wanted to go to Syria to join ISIS…but again if you know what Islam commands he follows that command…to defend Islam when it is under attack…and he has been told enough times that that is the case…the BBC itself tells him so.  Haqq unfortunately wasn’t as much fun as say Andjem Choudary would have been because Haqq knew the lines but lacked the real conviction to continue in the face of criticism.  He was like a pup learning to bark.  In one confrontation we saw complete confusion and self-doubt flicker across his face as a Shia angrily walked away from an argument with him….of course that could all have been in the edit….10 days of filming and we get only two hours of film…a lot of very controversial stuff was missed out…as revealed in personal videos made by some participants after the show ended.

People like Haqq are dangerous, they may draw in a few recruits and eventually go on to do terrible things in Syria given the chance despite being genial in person but he was an obvious ‘danger’, less obvious and all the more insidious was the real danger that came from someone the critics of the show didn’t pick up on…Nabil.

Nabil had an enormous chip on his shoulder…he was black and Muslim and blamed the world for all his ills.  He wore a ‘Black Lives Matter’ T-shirt but he also wore a hoodie with the logo of the extremist Islamist group Cage on it…

With an ever expanding War on Terror, fuelled by a climate of hostility towards our communities, now is the #TimeForCourage. …

The Telegraph reports…

The evidence shows that Cage is a pro-terrorist group

All the evidence shows that Cage is a pro-terrorist group, not a human rights group as Oborne appears to think. Its history of support for terrorists should have closed the argument on them some time ago. We can only suppose that Peter Oborne’s advocacy of the group is based on an ignorance of the relevant facts.

Nabil came across initially as reasonable and friendly but immediately supported Haqq and his view on things.  Nabil’s true character slowly surfaced as he bullied and shut down other people in the house and his grievances were aired.  He was as much an ‘Islamist’ as Haqq though he wouldn’t be heading to Syria any time soon and the problem is that he doesn’t wrap his extremism up in the teachings of the dusty old Koran but in the language of grievance which is far more ‘accessible’ and likely to win ‘recruits’ and he initially had a lot of respect and was listened to until he wrecked it all by his bullying.  He is married to a Pakistani girl which has raised problems, him being of Nigerian extraction…apparently the Nation of Islam isn’t quite so colour-blind as we are lead to believe…..his wife’s family calling him a monkey etc.

Nabil wasn’t the only one to defy the BBC’s preferred narrative as several of the house mates let slip an ever stricter adherence to Islamic ‘values’….such as not going out to have fun…music is haram.  A visit to a war memorial was definitely off the agenda for several of them and one, Humaira, stated that ‘British values for me are colonialism, institutional racism and theft, and genocide.’

Humaira related a tale of Islamophobia in which she was threatened with kidnap, rape and being forced to have the kidnapper’s babies…is that true?  We had no context for the claim but she did manage to force out a tear or two….having seen her ‘act’ in the rest of the show you kind of doubt those tears as she comes across as pretty hard-faced and extreme.

The BBC did naturally thread such claims of Islamophobia and racism throughout the programme though it did allow in a few comments about Asian racism towards Blacks….but generally it’s Whitey.

One dodgy moment came after a night on the tiles and the Syrian housemate, Barra, slipped away and suddenly met up with an EDL member who immediately stated he was such.  Hmmm…what acting school did the BBC recruit him from?  Not saying the BBC faked that but they did didn’t they?  What are the chances…with the cameras being there too?

The BBC’s choice of housemates is another piece of ‘clever’ manipulation….just how representative were these housemates?  Barra was essentially white with blue eyes and blonde hair despite being Syrian, we had the gay one, or was that two?, then a non-practising Muslim westernised woman, an apparently westernised woman who was in love with Haqq and I reckon would slip on the Burka if he asked, an old, white convert who professed to be moderate but was really quite fundamental, a black convert, Haqq, who was there to be the bad boy against whom all others would unite, a radical female that dressed alternately as sexily as she could or in a shroud and who professed herself a moderate but was anything but, and another Black Muslim who may be a convert or not having originated in Nigeria but who was definitely a believer.

I imagine whoever recruited this lot thought they were onto a winner as they looked initially to be ‘moderate’, Haqq aside.  Haqq of course was meant to be the pantomime villain who would show the world that the rest of the Muslim community didn’t respect nor believe in his version of Islam, they are the ‘good’ Muslims…..trouble is you can see that just wasn’t true….They may have objected to ISIS’s excesses but as time went on it gradually became more and more apparent that most of them were ‘Muslim’ and quietly followed the rules despite seeming to rail against them when stated by Haqq.

Far from turning people’s perceptions about Islam and Muslims on their heads this programme just reinforces them.  The oft heard cry in the house was ‘What more can we do to integrate?’…that of course is the question because it isn’t really about going to work or partying, it’s about what’s in their heads…how they perceive Britain and non-Muslims, what they want Britain to be and do they want to Islamise Britain?  When you listen to many of them in the house you don’t hold out much hope.  The BBC brought in 4 non-Muslims to learn about Islam and Muslims…..naturally, despite all they heard and saw, they all  to a man said how wonderful it all was and if only we could get to know each other what a wonderful place the world would be.  Very polite.  Just not true.  Just the usual BBC happy ending tacked onto the end of a programme that demonstrated the exact opposite, that getting to know each other ends in fights as you realise the other person is a bit of an evil bastard.  Paradoxically the BBC spends a great deal of time trying to prevent you knowing what Muslims really think and what Islam really means because it knows the happy clappy schmutter it propagates is nonsense.  I’m thinking the BBC must now think this programme was a bit of a mistake as being all too revealing.

This is an after show video by Nabil, the ‘CAGE’ fanboy…he tells of racism towards him in the house…he should look on the brighter side of slavery and Nigeria deserved to be colonised because it didn’t put up much of  a fight and that Africans built nothing…it was Indians and Whites who brought civilisation to Africa.  Makes you wonder what else was said that would have been of real interest and genuinely instructive about what Muslims really think.
