Deepjoy….this morning the BBC were once again trying to use a bit of emotional blackmail to keep the borders flung wide open as the Today programme spun a tale of thousands of desperate migrants dying and being lost or buried in unnamed graves across the Mediterranean.  We had the sad tale of an Afghan who couldn’t find his family and had to sell his home in Afghanistan to fund a search for them [So he had a house which he kept…no doubt intending to use it as a holiday home to go back to occasionallywhilst allowing his extended family to live there whilst he sent home the handouts to them he was given by the gullible Europeans….Most of Afghanistan is safe, as is much of Iraq….why do we allow ‘refugees’ from these countries to come here, especially as so many ‘desperate’ Iraqis head back home to Iraq when they don’t like the weather or the handouts aren’t big enough?]

And now we have another tale of some Afghans infiltrating into Europe via the ‘refugee’ route [so often denied by the BBC] only this time intending to carry out extensive terrorist attacks across Europe….including the UK.

Interesting the brevity of the BBC report compared to the far more informative Telegraph one.

Nothing from the BBC like this for instance…

The two men were described as “human bombs” by a centre-Right politician, Roberto Calderoli of the Northern League.

“We now have human bombs here at home, bombs that are in danger of exploding in our homes and in our piazzas,” he said in reaction to the arrests.

He blamed the centre-Left government of Matteo Renzi for “allowing in hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants without the slightest controls, without knowing who they are, where they come from, how they paid for their journeys.

“Now we find that we have terrorists at home, welcomed into our migrant reception centres.”

The BBC in a dangerous denial whilst spinning relentless lies about the benefits and necessity for all these people to come to Europe whilst avoiding mention of the very obvious dangers, and not just those of terrorism.

Self loathing, the hallmark of many BBC leftists, has been nicely exposed in this story.

A range of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) television departments, programmes, and radio stations are currently offering highly desirable, paid internships, but white people are prohibited from applying. 

Creative Access – an organisation, registered as a charity, which offers placements at “many of the UK’s top media organisations” – has listed a number of BBC placements on its website, demanding applicants are only from “Black, Asian and non-white minority ethnic backgrounds”.

As the Breibart article states, the head of Creative Access is … yes,  a Parliamentary candidate for the Labour Party, while one of the organisation’s board members is Baroness McDonagh, the former General Secretary of the Labour Party.

Labour. BBC. Hatred of our overwhelmingly White population.

I’ll be on Russia Today at 8pm to discuss this story. The BBC are playing mute on it.

The BBC really has given up all semblance of balance and impartiality on the EU as it bombards us with ‘news’ and interprets it as showing Brexit as a risk and fails somehow to be equally alert to the dangers of staying and being engulfed in a Euro state that is surely on the cards.  The slow down in employment we are told has many causes but the one the BBC likes the best is the looming referendum….never mind that Osborne’s ‘living wage’ was predicted to cost over 60,0000 jobs and oh yes…employment in the US is also slowing…hadn’t realised they were holding a referendum on EU membership as well.   Alternatively they slip in programmes that are supposedly a history of the EU and yet seem always to show us how wonderful the EU is and how badly off we would all be if it had never existed.

Today we had an allegorical tale of Rome and the Pax Romana, which of course we are supposed to look upon in wonder and think if only we had a similar empire where everyone was the same and lived under one rule, with one set of laws and one currency.  Apparently the Barbarians all wanted to be civilised Romans and cooperated willingly in their own subjugation.  It was one big happy family as people lived across Europe with multiple identities and yet rubbed along famously together.

Lesson to take from that?  Submit to Pax Europa and you may give up a few freedoms but you’ll be happy in your servitude…after all what didn’t the Romans do for us?

Next week more of the same as the BBC heads off to Estonia to show what being outside on the fringes of Europe could be like...’How a tiny nation has lived with conquest and constant tension on Europe’s edge’…..no doubt it won’t be good…but you know what….Europe and open borders bring such joy….Join Europe and you can forget about your woes, your conquests, your constant tensions……and you will find out in this impartial and balanced programme ‘why Europeans are such an extraordinary mix of languages, cultures, and migrations.’  In other words it’s the usual BBC anti-nation state spiel that insists there is no such thing as a unique British or English or Scottish identity…you’re all really just European…so stay in the EU.

I guess that’s why we have a large statue of Boadicea and celebrate her battles against the loveable Romans…..she too just wanted to be a Roman….just didn’t know how to express it very well.

From the Guardian….

Six-year-olds need delight, not drilling – this grammar regime is a farce

Angela Moore

As a teacher I’m glad the spelling, punctuation and grammar test had to be scrapped this year. We need to stop colluding with this damaging system… There’s little room for deep and meaningful learning, politicians are far too busy ensuring that we are counting.

Listening to the BBC and you might think that the SATs school tests were a new form of enhanced interrogation method one step up from waterboarding and that pupils are throwing themselves under buses up and down the country in response to the intolerable stresses and strains placed upon their delicate and still forming minds.

This morning we had a less than subtle, politically motivated, anti-SATs programme from Marr that told us that today’s Victorian era industrialised learning, designed to churn out unthinking wage slaves to run the Empire, was outdated and unfit for purpose…what was proposed was that pupils were left to their own devices to learn for themselves, being put in challenging situations to force them to learn on the job so to speak, learning through group cooperation without teachers, carried aloft by a natural enthusiasm for learning that is presently stifled by the rigour and strait jacket of formal education in today’s schools….a sort of Lord of the Flies scenario is the preferred outcome I believe.  Marr espoused that today’s education system was brutalising and terrifying the kids and not providing them with the necessary skills to handle today’s world…for instance actually having knowledge readily to hand in your head is so much wasted time and effort to learn when you have the internet instantly on tap to answer any question that may arise…why ‘know things’ if Google is but a click away?   Goodbye Mr Chips, hullo Micro Chip.  Marr, that old lefty, also manages to shoe-horn in ‘class and fairness’ in education throughout the programme.  Political?  Not a bit of it.

Listening to the BBC you’d have no idea that the ‘pupils’ strike’ was something in all likelihood organised and supported by the teaching unions as a political action rather than out of any concern for the pupils.  The response to SATs has been driven by ideological dogma not genuine, intellectual, coherent critique of the tests and the reasons behind them.

Today there are questions over whether the so-called ‘kids’ strike’ is part of a wider political campaign after possible ties with trade unions emerged – and children were seen waving teaching union flags and clutching anti-Government placards.

The unions have been agitating against SATs for years...here they are in 2009, under Labour, giving us their considered opinion as they vote to boycott the tests…..how times change…

Max Hyde, of the NUT executive, said: ‘At best SATs are detrimental and skew the curriculum. At worst, and particularly for our most vulnerable children, they are perilously close to child abuse.’

Our old friend Michael Rosen was a key agitator against SATs…

Starting with the end of the year, the Michael Rosen meeting last Monday was a real highlight.  There was a good turn out of members and non-members, and the debate and discussion left nobody in any doubt that SATs are damaging to all in our education system, and must be stopped. It was a great start to our local anti-SATs campaign.

I love this bit of nonsense from the NUTs Christine Blower…

‘We are not against assessment. What we want is assessment that is meaningful, assessment that is more accurate, and assessment that focuses on what children can do, rather than stigmatising them as failures for the things they can’t do.’

Many parents’ lack of knowledge of the tests, their misperceptions of what the national curriculum involves and for some, their own political persuasions, will have been exploited by the unions to generate an atmosphere of alarm, fear and concern that is at odds with what is really going on.

The main campaigning group is all too professional to be anything but a union front…The ‘Let Our Kids Be Kids’ group for instance says that the SATs boycott was “a show of support to heads and teachers everywhere that they will have overwhelming parental enthusiasm for a boycott of Sats and a return to a curriculum based on the joy and wonder of learning”.    They have a nice website…and a Facebook page.  Not to mention a 38 Degrees page.   Who runs all that?

Why are they also concerned now about academies?…

We started this campaign as Year 2 parents against Year 2 SATs… then Year 6 parents came on board to say they’ve had enough. Now a third horseman of the education apocalypse has reared it’s head as a massive concern for ALL parents.

Making schools into academies means privatising schools… our school buildings and the land they sit on are then assets in their businesses… our children are no longer going to go to a comprehensive school supported by parent governors… academies can have their own agendas… appoint their own teaching staff and leadership teams. Who knows what this will lead to for our children’s childhoods!?

All very, very political and little to do with educational achievement.  A union front?  More than likely.

The BBC though continues to peddle the scaremongering and the tales of traumatised kids…telling us of the wonderful headteachers who are doing all they can to limit the emotional damage to the kids…er….by ramping up the fear and making sure the kids look upon the SATs tests as something to be very worried about.  The BBC calls these ‘inspiring letters’...Personally I’d sack the head teachers who sent them out.

Let me summarise them….Don’t forget to sparkle kids, you’re all amazing, unique and special.  The people who set these tests are so stupid and don’t know that you are all geniuses in your own right.  The tests are a meaningless bore, a chore to be completed…but have no fear, success or failure is mere fool’s play, make-believe and mumming, you’ve been fretting over these tests for over a year as we’ve been instilling the fear of god into you about them for months but not to worry, they, and the knowledge and abilities they test, are so much wastrous piffle.  Have some ice cream and sweeties, washed down with copious amounts of frothy cola and self-indulgence and enjoy the hot weather as you occasionally glance out of the window in a moments distraction from the TV or flipping burgers at Macky D’s….better get used to that kids because that’s your life when you leave school because all you will be taught by this iniquitous national curriculum is some life-enchancing knowledge that would enable you to get a good job and make the most of your life…but hey, we, the teachers, don’t want to fuck you up by making you work towards that and stop you having fun, we don’t want to place any pressure on you to succeed, failure is an option…you can succeed at failure…go for it!!!  Sparkle!!!  F**k the national curriculum!  Oh, yes…you are special and unique.  Really.

And of course what is really needed is a stress coping strategy for the kids taking the tests….I’m sure there will be a test for that.

We hear a lot about the terrors of these tests but how much is true?  Allegedly the tests are far too hard and reduce kids to tears….but the reality is that the tests are set to test a range of abilities and that some questions are designed to stretch only those with higher abilites…teachers can withdraw pupils who they think won’t be able to do those questions at any stage.  However all pupils will have the option to take all the papers if they want to unlike in previous years.

Teachers have been teaching to the test and forming their curriculum around it is one of the major claims and issues….but the Department of Education specifically states that the tests are not designed to be  used as a framework or guide as to what or how to teach…the teachers should follow the national curriculum.  Teaching to the test is clearly very limiting even supposing the teachers knew what was in the test.  If you are teaching to the curriculum the pupils should have the knowledge to attain a good score in the tests by default having the breadth of knowledge to cope with most random questions, if not always the academic ability….and the tests don’t just test knowledge but also reasoning and a grasp of concepts and comprehension…the ability to think

Are the tests so much harder?  We’ve already noted that the questions meant for more able pupils are now included in the test as a norm, available for all to answer, and that not all pupils are expected to answer these, but in many ways the tests are made simpler…there is no mental maths test, no mind-bending contextualised questions and no English writing test.  There will be more focus on grammar, punctuation and spelling and more arithmatic with the knowledge of basic times-tables encouraged.

The BBC tells us that..

Up until last year, Sats tests were graded on levels – for example Level 4 was the expected level for children finishing primary school. But these national curriculum levels have now been scrapped.

Instead parents will be given their child’s raw score (the actual number of marks they get) and whether they have reached the national average.

The raw scores are not the relevant mark….the raw scores have to be processed by ‘scaling’ them….a raw score one year may seem to indicate a better performance than the same score the year before but the tests may be have been harder the previous year…..the converted, scaled, score is designed to allow comparison of the tests across the years taking into account the differing difficulty of each year’s tests.  The raw scores themselves do not allow this and would be misleading without an indication of the level of difficulty of each year’s tests.

The BBC has not provided the public with an informed debate in this subject preferring sensation to fact,  highlighting the alarmist and politically motivated complaints rather than hold a reasoned and sensible debate.  We get campaigners who are more than likely connected to the unions but unattributed by the BBC, we get tales of depressed and stressed out pupils, tears, fears and sleepless nights…but little in the way of genuine information about the tests.  If we had that information we could judge for oursleves whether these tests are really so gruelling and traumatic…or this is all about left wing unions doing what they always do…oppose anything that shines a light on the qualtiy of their teaching and their own performance…I suspect not a lot to do with the pupils at the end of the day.

Sparkle kids……

‘Children need learning that matters, that can steer their lot and influence their futures. We need to give them opportunity to improve the world, time to create and craft beautiful work; immerse them in the delights (and the despairs) of the real world. They are ready to show what they know, what they can do, and what they can dream up. But none of it will show up on a test score.’

Despair!  This apparently is all too difficult…it must be as the adults seem unable to cope…….and Michael Rosen’s still at it….

National curriculum assessments: 2016 sample materials

Sample materials for the 2016 key stage 1 and key stage 2 national curriculum tests and information about scaled scores and test trialling

Here’s a new Open Thread to start the week. And the BBC Today programme on Radio 4 starts the week with a leftwing vengeance. In just 45 minutes we had the following political memes;

1. The evil John Wittingdale is out to destroy the BBC. An excitable speech by Peter Kominsky at the BAFTA TV awards is hyped up by the luvvies to suggest apocalypse now for our “National Treasure” which is “the envy of the world” apparently. I was on BBC5 Live discussing this last night and at least told them to stop whingeing.
2. There is no “weekend effect” in our NHS Hospitals. Researchers from Oxford University have “proven” that its as safe to die in the NHS than during the week. I am sure the Junior Doctors will enjoy this “research”
3. There will be war across Europe should the UK leave the EU.
4. It’s time to crack down on tax havens controlled by Britain.

This is sustained unrelenting left wing pro EU propaganda masquerading as public service broadcasting. As I said last night, IF the BBC is as wonderful and popular and loved as it claims to be, let it stand aside from the £3.5 annual tax extortion and compete freely. It won’t because it is too scared.

Jeremy Paxman had some negative things to say about the EU in an article in the Radio Times…he has been forced to withdraw it in light of the BBC’s determination to remain absolutely neutral in the EU referendum debate, no, really.

Never mind that Nick Robinson recruited Churchill for the Remain campaign and was allowed to falsely claim that Churchill was the father of the EU or that we have been relentlessly drip fed pro-EU material by the BBC.  Do they really think an article by Paxo in the Radio Times will swing the vote? They obviously have little faith in their own arguments.

Jeremy Paxman WITHDRAWS article critical of European Union from next issue of Radio Times ‘after pressure from BBC’

Jeremy Paxman has withdrawn an article criticising the EU from the next issue of the Radio Times under pressure from the BBC, it has been claimed.

It is understood the outspoken journalist and presenter’s views raised concerns with broadcast bosses ahead of a documentary set to air later this month.

He will appear on Paxman in Brussels on May 19, described by the BBC as ‘an impartial look at the fundamentals of what actually goes on between the UK and the EU’.

Although the article is not thought to have called for Britain to leave Brussels, the organisation fears his words will damage his neutrality, according to The Sunday Times.

The paper claims the article sees the former Newsnight presenter ‘express doubts’ about the EU, its procedures and the loss of British sovereignty, and that the 65-year-old was ‘unhappy’ with proposed changes to his work asked for by a senior BBC executive.

The BBC said….

‘Our coverage of the EU referendum is fair and balanced so that across the campaign period audiences are given clear and impartial information about both sides of the argument.’

But that’s just not true…from very inaccurate reports of what Cameron ‘achieved’ in his negotiations with the EU to highly misleading reports on trade and tariffs in coutnires such as Norway, Canada and Switzerland…and we are constantly treated to little snippets of pro-EU comment casually slipped into the mix…such as Brexit being risky for the economy…but no similar comments at all about the risk of staying inside the EU.

Sadiq Khan is ‘Looking forward to being a mayor of the great city of London’….His priority he says, as that Muslim Mayor of London, will be to take on the Islamist extremists.  He staged his coronation in the Christian Southwark Cathedral….the BBC interpets that as a show of unity and tolerance…you could also interpret it as a display of Muslim dominance … ala Hagia Sofia or Temple Mount.

The BBC thinks that asking questions about Khan’s promise to tackle extremism in light of his close associations with said extremists is racist.

The BBC is uncritically peddling Labour’s, and the Emir of London’s, narrative…..Labour was caught being anti-Semitic so now they try to paint the Tories as Islamophobic…and the BBC is there to put the smear in for them.

Just one suggested topic for the open thread…I’m sure there are many, many more….the floor is yours…..

Trumpy McTrumpface…The man who gets so many of the public’s votes and yet the Establishment won’t let him win…they hope.  The BBC certainly does its level best to undermine him in the eyes of whom-ever reads or watches their schmutter.

On Wednesday we had Peter Allen leading the anti-Trump mocking and jeering, lots of laughter and eye-rolling all round at the mention of his name.  Just odd how Trump gets castigated for his policy of controlling US borders and ‘torturing’ terrorists for information and yet someone like Corbyn with his cabal of fellow plotters and schemers can hold extremely toxic and violent views and associate with people who fully intend to kill every Jew they can lay their hands on and yet not just be almost ignored by the BBC but actively defended by them, and the terrorists who the BBC doesn’t want to see tortured, are also defended and excused despite wanting to murder as many people as possible to further their polictical aims….Ken Livingstone has only recently defended the 7/7 terrorists and ISIS as merely ‘angry’ young men pushed to fight the hated Western enemy.

Trump is the problem for the BBC.  Trump is the enemy not the anti-Semitic Marxists in league with the Islamists and terrorists.

Here Mark Mardell, in his measured show of BBC impartiality, thinks Trump might have a chance of winning..or does he really?  Is this not just another chance to sneer and libel Trump?  Mardell starts his piece with a tale of Trump’s ‘racism’ and stupidity as Trump dared to question the sainted Obama’s birthplace…as Obama refused to reveal his birth certificate for a long time and much of his past is so murky perhaps it is only natural to question such things….you can’t get into the US now if you don’t have a biometric passport even of your own passport is otherwise entirely legal….and yet Mardell thinks no one should question whether Obama fulfills the strict criteria to be President of the US itself?  Marell’s conclusion?..

The high roller, the booster, the snake oil salesman is the trickster of US national myth and there is a not-so-sneaking admiration for a flash clever clown who pulls down the establishment’s pants.

It was the sort of toxic stew of conspiracy theory and casual racism of which any sensible politician would steer well clear.

Trump, by his first political act, declared himself not a sensible politician, deliberately courting controversy by staging a hit-and-run on the facts.

Or it could have been a legitimate question that you can be sure Mardell would be asking about Trump if the same circumstances arose.

Mardell coninues his drawn out sneer..

The high roller, the booster, the snake oil salesman is the trickster of US national myth and there is a not-so-sneaking admiration for a flash clever clown who pulls down the establishment’s pants.

Fairly obvious what the Obama poodle Mardell thinks of Trump….which he repeats to be sure you get the message….odd how the BBC though is otherwise pretty unconcerned about Clinton who gets a pass from Mardell….

The assumption is that, faced with a clear choice, the US people will plump for one who is not a clown.

That may be the case. But Hillary Clinton has a battle on her hands, not against a man, but a mood.

It’s not just Mardell muck-spreading the anti-Trump poison….no prizes for guessing who another offender is….Justin Webb, who slips the leash and takes the hated Mail’s tainted gold ala Mehdi Hasan, in order to be able to say what he likes about Trump without let or hindrance from the BBC’s rather loose rules on impartiality…loose unless you are doing a programme on the Met. Office.

Webb tells us that it looks like Clinton has sealed the deal…

Come the November presidential poll, she will face a man so barmy, so extreme, so utterly unpresidential, that she can’t lose. A dunce who is not even amiable. Donald Trump is going to gift Hillary Clinton the White House.

Of course the whole premise of the piece is supposedly to run by us the possibility that Trump might over-turn the political wisdom and the Liberal’s deepest wishes and win the Presidency…but Webb manages to slot in a good number of insults on route…which you might suspect was the real reason to do the piece.

Webb tells us…

Let’s be blunt about the task Trump faces. He is massively unpopular. A Washington Post/ABC News poll last month found 67 per cent of likely voters had an unfavourable opinion of him.

What he doesn’t say is that Clinton is nearly as unpopular…he does say…

And in certain key groups, Hispanics, women, the young, he is off the scale — properly detested, even feared.

Again that is somewhat exaggerated…Trump won a resounding victory in Nevada despite it having a high percentage of Latinos…many who voted for Trump…the Left of course hated that victory and have spent much time and effort to try and explain that away.  Webb just ignores it.  As for women and the young….Clinton is ahead with women but they are neck and neck with the young….so not sure how Webb comes up with this final effort to do down Trump…the same casual and blatantly false smear they used against UKIP…

Perhaps the greatest oddness of Trump is that his core supporters are a fading and old-fashioned constituency — angry white people — but his politics are uber-modern.

Webb slips in Cameron’s insult…

David Cameron will have to work hard to patch things up with Trump after saying the tycoon’s suggested ban on Muslims was ‘divisive, stupid and wrong’ — and that if Trump ‘came to visit our country he’d unite us all against him’.

Webb also comes up with this..

And Trump, with his hugely resourced campaign and outrageous populist pledges, could swing them his way.

‘Hugely resourced campaign’?  Trump funds his own campaign at the moment with added small donations from supporters not other billionaires…he has, and these are BBC figures, so Webb should know, $25 million, whilst Clinton has $125 million.  Spot the difference? And yet Webb is suggesting Trump is buying the election with a river of money and oh yes, those ‘outrageous popular pledges’....outrageous?  To Webb and his ilk maybe.

How about this ‘outrageous’ smear?…

Add a dash of Trump’s xenophobia and he’s in business.

Trump isn’t racist….he hasn’t based his policies upon race but on numbers and security.

And if he won?

But if he won, what then?

Again, the conventional wisdom might well be wrong. He is portrayed as a dictator. A megalomaniac. A man who has taken over a political party for his own crazed purposes.

All of which might be true.

Ah yes…all those insults might be true suggests Webb….but where is his, or Mardell’s, similar character assassination of Clintn?  Conspicuous by its abscence.

The BBC and the Guardian et al have rather short memories.  They have smeared Zac Goldsmith as having run a racist campaign, never mind that his complaint was addressing Khan’s association with extremists, nowt to do with ‘race’, and yet as soon as Khan is elected the first thing the BBC tells us that is noteworthy about Khan’s new found elevation is that…

Mr Khan is the city’s first Muslim mayor

Why is that now so important and yet just hours before they were attacking Goldsmith for being ‘racist’ for questioning Khan’s links to Islamist extremists?  As always the Muslim extremist gets a bye from the BBC in the alleged interests of community cohesion.

Khan himself thought his religion was an important factor that needed to be addressed….

Electing Muslim mayor would ‘say something about our confidence as a city’, says prospective Labour candidate Sadiq Khan

Alibhai Brown laughably has the same opinion..

The very fact of a Muslim being in this high office could do more to combat radicalisation than any number of government strategies

Experience tells us the opposite and when Khan has demonstrated a pattern of behaviour that links him inextricably to people who have views that are dangerously close to the Islamist and terrorist narrative you have to ask questions…unfortunately the BBC and Guardian think not and would prefer to brush it all under the carpet and play the race card to silence the critics and win the election for a ‘Muslim’.

Harry’s Place suggests it is entirely legitimate to ask those questions…

In short, Sadiq Khan’s extravagant recent claim that “I have spent my whole life fighting extremism” is entirely false. On the contrary, he has supported extremists, he has aligned with extremists, he has shared their platforms, he has circulated petitions advancing their arguments and interests, he has euphemised their blood-curdling incitement as mere “flowery words”, and he has repeatedly used his position as a human rights advocate and an MP to lend extremists’ arguments a spurious legitimacy.

I assume Khan and Brown are racists for having raised the matter of his religion as a factor in this election?

What else has the good Muslim Mr Khan said that might be of interest to the BBC’s ever-vigilant thought police?

The BBC somehow managed to avoid altogether Khan’s labelling of Muslims who don’t adhere to the terrorist narrative about foreign policy and Western culture as ‘uncle toms’….imagine if that had been a UKIP potential Mayor of London…or even a complete unknown Ukipper from some backwater who said the word ‘negro’…..well you don’t have to imagine because we know exactly what the BBC would do…hang them out to dry and set them up for a campaign of vitriloic smears and insults for months on end.  If you’re the Labour, Muslim, candidate to be mayor of London though, you get a free pass on highly offensive, toxic, racist and dangerous language.

Whilst the BBC failed to hold Khan to account for calling moderate Muslims ‘uncle toms’ LBC tackled the problem…or did they?…

Yes. its Newsnight’s appendage, James O’Brien, he of the kangaroo court and Nigel Farage, not so much a journalist as a lying, sensationalist spinner of smears and malevolent mischief.  Note how he doesn’t actually take Khan to task about his hate speech but instead sympathises and suggests this is an attack on Khan just like all those other dog-whistle racist attacks on Khan that highlight his association with people with very unpleasant views and ideas.

O’Brien, as good a journalist as ever, the honesty, integrity and professionalism shines through.  Just what is it that attracts the Guardian’s Katz to this piece of work?

And what of Mr Suliman Ghani, one of Khan’s platform sharing Islamist cronies?  The man the BBC and the Guardian insist is a Tory?

Seems someone was lying…

• Suliman Gani ‏@sulimangani 12 Sep 2015

  Congratulations to newly elected leader of Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn. Brilliant victory * “Things can and will change”

A ‘brilliant victory’ for one Jeremy Corbyn?  Not the words of a Tory voter I might suggest, though the BBC has been convinced, quite easily I imagine, by his lies…

London mayor row: Cleric feels ‘betrayed’ by Conservatives

As has the Guardian…

London mayor: Goldsmith embarrassed as ‘repellent’ imam’s Tory links emerge

Those ‘links’ are entirely spurious and inconsequential.  The photo with Goldsmith is obviously a meeting in the street and not evidence of indepth collaboration between the two…unlike with Khan who repeatedly joined forces with Ghani on the same campaigns.

Ghani claims he was invited to be a Tory councillor…but again that is a lie…he turned up at a open event that was intended to increase Muslim participation in politics…he claims he was personally invited but provides no evidence and indeed there is no photo of him as a guest at the event which was one for all and sundry in the Muslim community to turn up to with no regard to political afffiliation.

Ghani puts this forward as evidence of his association with the Tories and that he supposedly campaigned for Dan Watkins in the general election….unfortunately the event was in November 2015 and Ghani, as noted above, had already expressed his admiration for Jeremy Corbyn in September….and of course the election was in May.  I guess he is lying about his ‘Tory’ proclivities.

However…we can see what many would describe as evidence of his anti-Semitism…….

Middle East Eye ‏@MiddleEastEye May 4

Is it anti-Semitic to ask whether Israel has the right to exist? http://ow.ly/4np4Fm

Why would  a Pakistani Muslim be against Jewish Israel and yet have no similar thoughts about the legitimacy of a Muslim state built on land stolen from India by Muslims after having driven out millions of Sikhs and Hindus from their land?  Right of return anyone?

He is in very good company in the Labour Party just now.

Shame the BBC doesn’t do its job and rather than exposing people with dangerous and unpleasant naratives that have a damaging influence on society the BBC covers up for them and instead attacks those who would dare to expose them such as Goldsmith.

As suggested many times on this site it is the BBC that is one of the great dangers to democracy and civil society, it is the BBC that is extremist…the BBC that advocates open borders and the destruction of the nation state, the BBC that cheerleads mass, uncontrolled immigration regardless of the real consequences, the BBC that supports and excuses terrorism and cheers on ISIS as they destroy the national borders, the BBC that excuses and hides sexual abuse and rape by Muslims, the BBC that excuses and hides Muslim attempts to subvert society and impose their religion upon it as with the MCB’s Trojan Horse plot, the BBC that works to delegitimise Israel and helps to spread anti-Semitism around the world and even excuses murder of Jews because of what Israel did in Gaza.

The BBC is unfit for purpose, a law unto itself with no-one able to control its extremist impulses.  It does more harm than good spreading division, hatred and war in its wake.
