Interesting how the BBC completely ignored Owen Smith saying he would negotiate with ISIS…Derbyshire just swept on despite the remarkable statement and the BBC made no mention of it in its news bulletin summarys of the interview until the Tories started to attack Smith.  Corbyn dodged the question by saying he wouldn’t hold talks….openly…suggesting he would have a cosy chat with what will no doubt be his ‘friends’ in ISIS behind closed doors…just not sure what they will negotiate.

The Today programme this morning (0840) seemed to be promoting the idea of talks…this is the BBC that thinks people like Anjem Choudary are the next Nelson Mandelas and who went to a lot of effort to give the killers of the IRA a voice, that thought it was time to talk to the Taliban and who excuse Muslim terrorists by saying they didn’t have a job, or were a bit stressed or suffered discrimination and disenfranchisement…as so many are from well-to-do families and/or are students hard to see the discrimination and disenfranchisement.

Just listen to the complete waffle from David Harland from the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue on the programme. He doesn’t have a clue what he will negotiate with ISIS for….at most it seems for a cessation of violence.  The BBC’s Lyse Doucet thinks talking with such groups about local ceasefires and to get hostages freed is some sort of equivalent but that’s hardly the geo-political negotiations that Owen Smith means.

Smith backtracked a bit and tries to suggest he’d only talk once ISIS renounces violence…and then what?   What do you negiotiate?  Is Smith going to let them keep the land they have captured and we’ll all just forget how that happened?  What will Iraq and Syria have to say about Smith handing over their land?

The BBC covering a potential Labour leader’s, and ex-BBC man’s, backside?

The BBC is blitzing us with ‘Islamophobia’ today in the wake of a Demos report on what it says is a wave of Islamophobia on Twitter.…but the Tweets were from across the world not just in the UK.  And you have to ask what is Islamophobia in Demos’s and the BBC’s eyes?  You may get an idea from this report today:

BBC Islamophobia discussion interrupted by Islamophobia

An interview by BBC reporter Catrin Nye on Islamophobia has been interrupted by Islamophobia.

A passer-by named Paul told her interviewee Ruqaiya Haris: “There’s no Sharia law here”.

Hmmm….that’s not ‘Islamophobic’ is it?  It’s a statement that says ‘Paul’ doesn’t want Sharia law in the UK.  A perfectly legitimate stance….Sharia law is an unpleasant, backward and oppressive, racist ideology that itself spreads hate and division….why would any right thinking person not raise issue with it?

If the BBC had been interviewing a Far Right person and someone had shouted ‘No Fascism’ here they would have been cheered to the rafters on Twitter and in the Guardian.

As for ‘Islamophobia’ on Twitter…even Demos admits this was in the wake of the Nice attack where a Muslim, in the name of Islam, killed 84 people…many of them children.

Demos and the BBC are unable to explain why this is a problem of any real and genuine note….a few thousand tweets from around the world that are, on Demos’ definition, ‘Islamophobic, in the wake of mass killings by Muslims who deliberately target Westerners asdn seek to undermine Western society hardly seems a surprise nor a threat to world peace…on the other hand a mass Islamic movement that is trying to impose islam upon everyone and is persecuting, killing and attacking Christians and anyone who criticises Islam around the world might just be considered a threat…if you don’t work for the BBC.

The BBC seems to think the problem is the people who are under attack by the Muslim supremacists…and note the supremacists are not just the terrorists but also those who use the media, the law and political blackmail to press for more Islam.

This campaign on Islamophobia is such a case…it is intended to make out that Muslims are under attack, under siege and this is intended to pressure politicians to silence critics of Islam and also to sideline the anti-terror policies of the government such as Prevent.

Look at the Twitter feed of the interviewee…how pleased she is to have the BBC front this campaign against ‘Islamophobia’….

Hypocrite and now Muslim political activist?

I remember judging hijabis so much before I ever wore it :/

Isn’t that weird? I was a non-practising Muslim judging the way other Muslims practiced

‘As a Muslim’ she has no interest in being ‘cute’ for the boys….

Two stories, both linked to Brexit. Guess which one the BBC leads with and which one the BBC completely ignores?

UK to avoid recession and world economy to ‘stabilise’ as Brexit shock passes

Ethnic minorities face ‘entrenched’ racial inequality – watchdog

Naturally, the later race baiting from the Orwellian “Equalities and Human Rights Commission” makes the media running, with the claim from this quango that Britain’s Black and Ethnic Minorities have suffered terrible “hate crime” post Brexit. Strikes me that the BBC relishes the idea that Britain’s white working class community is deeply racist and will use any excuse to persecute ethnic minorities. The truth is we are far too tolerant in respect of unelected unrepresentative quangos out to sow race hatred. The BBC just cannot accept that we voted to BREXIT because we thought it best for the Nation and so they choose to exaggerate unwelcome economic news to talk our economy down and, as in this case, hype race baiting by professional grievance mongers.

The BBC can’t help it, they are still weeping post Brexit tears and continue to seize on everything and anything to do the UK economy down. UK inflation rose by 0.1% yesterday and the BBC were all over it, explaining the ominous portents.

Rising fuel prices helped to push the UK’s inflation rate higher last month, according to official figures. The annual inflation rate as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose to 0.6% in July from 0.5% in June, the Office for National Statistics said.

I’m guessing BBC’s Mark Easton must be feeling low this morning with the news that vile Islamist Anjem Choudary is behind bars. Remember how Easton lionised Choudary last year?

Following a lengthy report on BBC News at Ten about Choudary’s ‘radicalising force’, Mark Easton appeared to question whether there were similarities between Britain’s most famous extremist and two of history’s greatest civil rights campaigners. Referring to Theresa May’s pledge to clamp down on extremism, the journalist said Gandhi and Mandela had been seen as extremists and that those stances ‘are sometimes needed to challenge very establish values’.

Effortlessly proselytising for radical Islam from the safe distance of a license tax funded Cappuccino.

Time for a new one of these. Here is where you detail the bias. If you want to follow us on FACEBOOK you can now find our feed here! So much bias, so little time!

Busy morning for the comrades on the TODAY programme on BBC Radio 4. Even before 7am we were treated to a sneering assault on Donald Trump’s speech on protecting the US from radical Islamists, we were afforded mockery of the idea that Boris Johnson is “running the country” with Theresa May on holiday, and finally those reliable stooges at the Resolution Foundation were brought on to dampen the idea that limitless cheap european immigration might suppress wages. No matter how you cut it, each day on the Today programme is the same. It’s one prolonged license tax funded sneer at anything and everyone outside their little narrow Islington tent.

Monday morning and a new week of relentless BBC bias for you to bring to our attention….

You can almost hear BBC hearts a beating at the prospect of a “Gotcha moment” when they reported this news this morning.

An imam and his assistant were shot dead as they walked along a street in the New York borough of Queens. The men were approached from behind by a man who shot them both in the head, a police spokesman said. Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, moved to the city from Bangladesh two years ago, US media reported. Some mosque-goers said they believed it was a hate crime but police said there was as yet no evidence that the men were targeted because of their faith.

I would have thought ALL murder was by definition “hate crime” but that’s not the point. You just KNOW that all those at the BBC were desperate that this would be a cut and dried case of Islamophobia leading to the death of these two men. Then, the NYPD released this image of a man said to have .. coughs … “a medium complexion”..

Norwegian?

Have a look at this story currently on the BBC NEWS page;

A brawl between three families of North African descent and local youths erupted on a beach on the French island of Corsica on Saturday, leaving five people injured, officials have said. Witnesses said the brawl between locals and a party of bathers of Northern African origin began after the bathers objected to photos being taken. Some of those involved were armed with hatchets and harpoons, a witness said.

Mmm. “North African origin” “Hatchets”…. might we be getting a somewhat sanitised version of what actually happened? Is it an outside possibility that these were ….Muslim illegal immigrants? The BBC won’t tell you when they have convenient euphemisms to deploy. Half the truth, at best, all the time. And you pay for it.
