Here’s what the BBC doesn’t want you to see following its misreporting in the case of the ten year old ‘terrorist’.….the BBC moved straight in and tried to use the case as evidence to prove the ineffectiveness of the anti-terrorism Prevent programme….something the Muslim ‘radicals’ are desperate to neutralise…..did the MCB feed the BBC the story of the schoolboy in the knowledge that the BBC is a willing accomplice when it comes to publishing stories about Muslims ‘under siege, alienated and marginalised’ and that it would be more than happy to help undermine the anti-terrorism programme?

‘Terrorist house’ case raises doubts over Prevent strategy

By Dominic Casciani Home affairs correspondent

• 20 January 2016
• From the section UK

A police investigation into a 10-year-old Muslim schoolboy who wrote that he lived in a “terrorist house” when he meant “terraced house” is the latest in a series of incidents that have raised questions about schools’ obligations to prevent radicalisation.

The relatively new duty on public bodies to prevent people being drawn into terrorism sounds simple in theory, but critics say it’s already proving to be incredibly problematic.

The government’s view is simple: the duty is about protecting people from harm – and schools should come up with guidance that meets the reasonable expectations of the law, just as they must already do to combat sexual or physical abuse.

If a teacher comes across suspected evidence of radicalisation, they must refer it to a senior figure in the school responsible for pupil safety and wellbeing.

They, in turn, must decide whether the matter needs to be referred up to the local authority which chairs a multi-agency team looking at potential cases of extremism. That referral could lead to a visit from the police.

Little experience

Some schools are confident they have come up with plans to identify and confront radicalisation – but have they got the balance right?

One London family is already trying to bring legal action after their son was questioned about the Islamic State militant group. He had talked about “ecoterrorism” in a classroom debate about environmental activism.

The measures have also caused huge controversy in universities. Many of them fought fiercely against the proposals in Parliament, arguing that they would breach free speech and academic inquiry.

Months after the measures were implemented, Staffordshire University apologised to one of its own students, who is studying security and terrorism, after he was questioned about reading a related academic text.

So the advice on the “Prevent duty” – and how to implement it – is entirely new territory for many teachers, lecturers, social workers and educationalists who have little experience of radicalisation and terrorism.

Ministers believe that, given the right support and training, teachers and others can get it right.

But critics – and there are many – say that the “Prevent duty” being applied in education is already causing serious harm to individuals who are being viewed with suspicion.

 

A police spokesman added later “The BBC reporter had been given the context surrounding the incident by both Lancashire council and the police, as well as guidance to make sure that the story would not be “sensationalised or reported differently to how it was brought to us”.

 

I was going to write a post praising the BBC for their balanced reporting on the issue, if it is an issue, of the ten year old Muslim schoolboy who was waterboarded by the security services recently…according to Muslim pressure groups.

An exaggeration but only just…the MCB doesn’t hold back on its anti-Prevent rhetoric.

This morning on the Today programme (07:50) the BBC took a look at the case of the schoolboy who was allegedly mistaken for a potential extremist because of a spelling mistake.  [surprised the boy wasn’t carted off by the food police for admitting to a liking for pizza (answer 6…his favourite food is pizza)]

The programme was balanced and nuanced and gave Kalsoom Bashir, co-director of the anti-extremism charity Inspire and who works in connection with the Prevent programme, a fair hearing in which we heard the justification for Prevent and what actually happened in this case and what the real cause of concern was….that in a creative writing exercise the boy had written that his uncle beat him.

Now, I was going to praise the BBC for this report but it turns out that this was merely a bit of humble pie on their part (not much of that going on over Savile and the leaked new report so far!…BBC not to blame)…the BBC were the cheerleaders for this false story and indeed it was the BBC being quoted by other news organisations, the Guardian of course…, and the Telegraph ….which is unfortunate because the BBC got it  wrong.

Police called at his home in Accrington, Lancashire, the following day and examined the family laptop, according to the BBC.

Did the BBC get the story wrong because it had been fed to them by the extremist MCB which has, along with other extremist groups, worked insidiously to neutralise the Prevent programme?….what better way than to feed news organisations sensationalised stories of Muslims ‘under attack’.  They know full well the BBC will lap them up….and it worked.  Now why would a Muslim organisation want to nobble a programme designed to prevent Muslim terrorism?

The BBC fell for this narrative by the MCB hook, line and sinker…here’s a report they hurried out in the wake of this story…

‘Terrorist house’ case raises doubts over Prevent strategy – BBC News

BBC News‎ – 1 day ago

The relatively new duty on public bodies to prevent people being drawn into terrorism …

However the link does not work.

The BBC are backpeddling furiously on this…..they have been caught out by Muslim propagandists….the reason for that is because they are so willing for such stories to be true.  As I have said a few times here the BBC’s uncritical cheerleading of Muslim extremists, like Moazzam Begg, is a deadly game that almost certainly will have serious consequences.

Here is the original BBC story about the schoolboy.…and here is the corrected version…

Police and crime commissioner Clive Grunshaw criticised the BBC reporting of the issue and said it had not been treated as a terror incident.

Mr Grunshaw said that other worrying issues were raised in the boy’s school work – not just the “terrorist” house line – and these were “reported through the appropriate channels”.

“In the event there was no further action needed, but if the school and police had not acted then they would have been failing in their duty to respond to concerns.”

The Independent reveals all…

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Lancashire, Clive Grunshaw, issued a damning statement on the way the story had been reported and said he had “written to the BBC”, which later updated its original article online.

“A report wrongly claimed a family was interrogated as potential terrorists due to a spelling error in a boy’s homework,” he said.

“The facts are that a young person disclosed a worrying issue in his school work – not just that he lived in a “terrorist house” – and this was reported through the appropriate channels and subsequently a visit was undertaken by a neighbourhood police officer and a social worker.”

He added: “In the event there was no further action needed, but if the school and police had not acted then they would have been failing in their duty to respond to concerns.”

Mr Grunshaw later tweeted that the BBC had “set the record straight”.

Thanks to Gunner in the comments for this link and damning statement….

A police spokesman added later “The BBC reporter had been given the context surrounding the incident by both Lancashire council and the police, as well as guidance to make sure that the story would not be “sensationalised or reported differently to how it was brought to us”.

What is also of interest is the reaction of the family and the MCB….there seems to be little connection to reality on any of their statements…and the MCB’s are the usual Muslim political manoeuvring using the Islamophobia card.

The father rather surprisingly, despite having been in the UK at least 10 years, doesn’t speak English….as the Telegraph reveals….

Speaking exclusively to The Telegraph through one of his sons, who acted as translator, the boy’s father said: “He [the 10-year-old boy] came from school very sick. When he came back the police arrived and said that the school said the he had been involved in terrorist activity.

I’m sure something was lost in translation…as it appears that it was social workers, no doubt accompanied by police officers, who visited the family.

Makes you wonder about all those stories of Islamophobia that the MCB et al peddle so assiduously and so loudly.

Still, good to know(?) the BBC is still biased and the BBC’s balanced, nuanced and informative reporting was just an aberration due to having been caught redhanded…..we’ll still be here tomorrow.

“I would advise us all to prepare a plan B.”

The Guardian, the Mail and the Telegraph all report this story….

Germany must soon close borders to refugees, transport minister tells Merkel

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s transport minister has urged her to prepare to close Germany’s borders to keep out refugees, arguing that Berlin must act alone if it cannot reach a Europe-wide deal.

Alexander Dobrindt said Germany could no longer show the world a “friendly face” – a phrase used by Merkel as refugees began arriving in Germany six months ago – and that if the number of new arrivals did not drop soon, Germany should act alone.

“I urgently advise: we must prepare ourselves for not being able to avoid border closures,” Dobrindt, a member of the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), told the Muenchner Merkur newspaper.

The BBC have so far refrained from commenting…however as usual the BBC is eager to hear and report the views of the mothers of terrorists [Just as they interviewed the mother of a Palestinian suicide bomber but not the Israeli parents of his victims]…

Belgium’s jihadi mothers share their anguish

You can’t help thinking that this is a BBC counter to Cameron’s plan to give language lessons to Muslim women in what is clearly an Islamophobic attack upon Muslims….the BBC is telling us Muslim mothers hate extremism and ‘radicalisation’ and don’t need patronising white, Eton educated, politicians to tell them how to control their kids.

But are these mothers really interested in challenging the ideas and narrative of the Jihadis…or just in preventing thier kids from fighting the good fight?…after all many a British mother, who no doubt support democracy and freedom, don’t want their kids joining the Army and heading off to war.  Often they are at the centre of it themselves propagating the mentality that ends up with their offspring heading to Syria.

A while back the BBC brought us a report on the ‘Jan Trust’ which operated a Muslim mother’s anti-radicalisation union…..except it didn’t…what the mothers actually said was that their lovely kids were right to be angry about Syria, or rather the West’s lack of action against…ISIS?…no, Assad…and of course right to be angry about Israel…however the kids must express their anger in other ways not by bombs and bullets.  The BBC on the radio reported the words of the women as they were shown images of the war in Iraq and Israeli actions in Gaza….their reaction was to say ‘well no wonder our kids are radicalised…we would be too’…the BBC on its web report isn’t so honest in reporting their reaction…

Part of the course involves exposing them to the violent language and imagery used by extremist websites, with shocking results for some of them.

Ms Mughal’s interpreter, Rafaat, a Muslim mother herself, told of the horrified reactions when they first saw such pictures: “When the photographs were shown there was silence and all of sudden I could hear… wow, what’s happening?”

So Muslim mothers are still peddling the anti-West, anti-Israel Jihadi narrative and telling their kids it’s right to be angry…just don’t use violence…amd yet the BBC thinks this is an anti-radicalisation programme.     Then again it’s the same narrative that the BBC has been peddling since 9/11.  It’s all the West’s fault, it’s blowback.

The BBC is a relentless propagandist for unlimited immigration,prioritising those who demand the right to live here ahead of the rights of the local population. BBC Radio 4 Today has been leading with this story….

The front doors of houses used by asylum seekers are to be repainted, after claims they were targeted because nearly all of the doors were red. Asylum seekers in Middlesbrough told The Times eggs and stones had been thrown at their houses because the doors made them easy to identify. The immigration minister said he was “deeply concerned” about the issue.

It’s no longer adequate to provide free housing for illegal immigrants masquerading as asylum seekers, but now the decor of the accommodation must meet their high standards. This is deemed reasonable by the BBC and even worse the Government rolls with it.

This is a guest post by BBBC contributor, Nibor.

“A lot of the BBC time lately is about transgender , and the problems it thinks such people have . What the rest of us feel seems of no consequence . This is a BBC trait ; there is a minority group , and only their thoughts and opinions and those who are facilitating their ” conversion ” are broadcast . When the operation or whatever is successful , an aberration is changed into what must be accepted as the norm .No questions asked .

Another BBC favoured group are Muslims . Now they are not just a religion; they can now be a race . Despite most normal people trying to take race out of politics , the PTB , Gramscians and BBC want to put it in and give victim status as well as most favoured group status . To a creed .
Again no question asked .
So now we can change from being a boy to a girl and change our ethnicity in one fell swoop , no questions asked , just ask for gender realignment and take up a new religion .
What I’d like to know , if I went through such a metamorphosis , can I keep my firearms licence ? Or is it no questions asked ?”

On time and awaiting your contribution. Here is where the relentless BIAS must be documented.

Funny what catches the BBC’s interest.  Mass sexual assaults across Europe by Muslim men and the BBC will report it ony when it can’t avoid doing so, and even then it does all it can to play down the significance of this…apparently rape, sexual assault, robbery and abuse are a lesser concern than the audience getting a completely false protrayal of what is happening to European societies in order that BBC journalists, like Hugh Sykes, can continue to peddle their pro-immigration, utopian twaddle with a clear conscience.

However…David Cameron says that Muslim women should learn to speak English and the BBC are all over it immediately, seemingly clearing the decks to make way for programmes about this.

Naturally we get the usual Muslim agitprop claiming this is an attack on Muslims, and what should be noted is how the so called ‘moderate’ Muslims also react.  The BBC wheeled in Mona Siddiqui on Thought for the Day.…she didn’t like the PM’s thoughts and believed that the real problem was that Muslims weren’t appreciated enough in this country which is the real reason they became radicalised.  So it’s ‘our’ fault as usual. Siddiqui’s answer was ‘more Islam’, more freedom to worship Islam in all its glory so that Muslims can ‘harbour a sense of mutual belonging’.  The difference between Siddiqui and ISIS?  Just the means and methods…the ends are the same…more Islam…Islam über alles….the same thing all these agitprop Muslims work towards as they swarm onto the media and relentlessly lobby politicians who all too easily cave in to the ‘blackmail’….Don’t think Cameron is genuinely looking to deal qwith any issues raised by Islam…how many speeches has he made on this sucject, and just how much concrete action has he taken?  I imagine this laatest wheeze is a coldly calculated gambit that says some Muslims will raise a hell of a stink, but that is good…non-Muslims will look on and think if Muslims are upset then Cameron must be doing something…more votes in that than in the Muslim community…it’s the same ploy he uses in Europe, generating a fake row with Europe in which, after a great deal of ‘outrage’, everybody suddenly comes to a deal and Cameron is presented as the hero….and we can all vote to stay in Europe.

‘Call You and Yours ‘ also gave airtime to the issue…

On Call You & Yours we are exploring how people and communities become better integrated in the UK. If your family came to Britain from overseas – what made a difference to you – what was it that made you stop feeling foreign and start feeling British?

The prime minister has promised new language lessons for migrant women in England who speak little or no English. The idea is to help people integrate better into the broader community and also to reduce extremism.

What does your experience tell you about the most important ways that people and communities become better integrated?

‘Womans’ Hour’, which completely ignored the rape and sexual abuse of German women, never mind those in Sweden and Norway over the years or even those immigrants in refugee centres also attacked by their menfolk, took an instant interest in what Cameron had to say…naturally their take was that he was ‘Islamophobic’…curious how Muslims attacking white women isn’t racist, or of interest, but Cameron helping Muslim women to better themselves is….

David Cameron has just announced that an extra £20 million should be available to teach English to Muslim women. Few people dispute the value of better access to English lessons, but David Cameron has angered many people by singling out the Muslim community and Muslim women in particular and suggesting that a lack of English might make you more susceptible to extremist viewpoints. We look at the situation of Muslim women without language skills in the UK today.

Still here’s at least one BBC employee, Nihal, who makes an attempt to question the narrative as a Muslim caller blames foreign policy for radicalisation and claims there was no terrorism before the war in Afghanistan…he also claims that ISIS was only created after the Iraq War started…where did he pick that idea up from?  The BBC probably, as it is one of their narratives that tries to pile the blame for the war in Syria onto the West.  Unfortunately ISIS, under a different name, came into existence years before the Iraq War and its leader was actually only interested in attacking Jordan.

ISIS/IS has its origins in an obscure militant group, Jamaat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (JTJ), that was stood up in 2000 by a Jordanian one-time criminal-turned-Islamist named Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (AMZ).¹ His intent was to fight the Jordanian government, but he failed to gain traction.

The BBC’s own version of history misses out the inconvenient bit about Zarqawi being a terrorist before both the Afghanistan and Iraq War…this makes it sound like his creation of a terror group was in reaction to the Iraq War when it already existed….

IS can trace its roots back to the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian. In 2004, a year after the US-led invasion of Iraq, Zarqawi pledged allegiance to Osama Bin Laden and formed al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), which became a major force in the insurgency.

Here’s Nihal attempting to correct the Muslim narrative about radicalisation…he exclaims ‘We don’t have to believe them!’…….  if only all at the BBC would give it a go instead of pandering to the extremists and pushing their narrative…

Laugh, laugh out loud, laugh long and hard.

Iranian BBC journalist is stopped from flying to the US…along with all other dual-nationality Iranians and others from Muslim countries….

Measures to tighten the US visa waiver programme were passed through Congress last month as part of the omnibus spending bill. People from 38 countries including Britain and France could previously visit the US for up to 90 days without a visa. But thanks to a provision folded into the bill, those citizens must now obtain a visa if they are dual Iranian, Iraqi, Sudanese or Syrian citizens.

Hmmmm….is Trump El Presidente already?  I think not…this was under the sainted Obama’s regime.

Will there be massed outrage and petitions, will there be a debate in Parliament to ban Obama, will the BBC resort to smears and insults instead of analysis and journalism to attack Obama?

The BBC is obsessed with Trump, well not Trump the man, or Trump and his politics, just Trump the ‘fascist monster’…no analysis, no journalism, just a campaign to discredit and abuse him….he’s paranoid and a scaremonger…

Trump is not just a practitioner of the politics of paranoia and fear.

And let’s not forget that little joke at the start of the ‘report’…

There he is still, wearing his famed red baseball cap, headgear that not only proclaims his determination to “Make America Great Again” but also keeps his wayward hair – that lunatic fringe – in place.

‘Lunatic fringe’...get it?  It’s not about hair at all.

Here he is again…from yesterday….it’s just endless this Trump obsession…

Donald Trump and the Politics of Celebrity

I haven’t heard the programme but I hardly imagine that Guardianista Jonathan Freedland is going to be singing Trump’s praises.

Unfortunately we’re going to be getting more of this journalism nonsense next Monday….

America’s Politics of Paranoia: The Trump Phenomenon

In America, politicians very often campaign on fear. And when that fear is stoked to irrational levels, it has a clinical name – paranoia.

So there you go…the BBC has decided that Trump’s comments about Muslim immigration are unjustified and wrong and are a result of paranoia rather than a reasoned response to world events.

Bare in mind that the BBC’s programmes are broadcast in the US and so we can believe that the BBC is intent on interfering in American politics in the hope of influencing the outcome of the next election there.

The BBC is as corrupt and biased as any state controlled media organisation ever was.  There’s absolutely no reason to continue paying the licence fee when it continues to spread so many lies around the world and ultimately do so much harm.

Journalism can be terrorism.

There must be something about people called ‘Hodges’….are they entirely trustworthy?  Should they be banned from the UK until we know what is going on?

There’s Margaret and then there’s Dan….not to mention dodgy Hodges in Dad’s Army.  Some of our finest and upstanding citizens are named Hodges.

What are Dan’s latest thoughts on the world?

Dan Hodges: Donald Trump is an outright fascist

Ban him. Ban him now.

Blimey, that’s a bit strong….wonder why he thinks that?

It is hard to see what possible public good would be served by welcoming to the UK a man who has effectively called for a race war.

Oh Dan, you know Islam is not a race.  So disappointing that you peddle that old lie.

But surely Dan elaborates and explains his thinking (I think he thought…though little sign of it)…argh yes..here we go…

Think of what Trump has actually said. In his view members of the Muslim community are now so dangerous to non-Muslim members of the community that their presence can literally no longer be tolerated. Every man, every woman, every child who is a Muslim is so inherently dangerous they cannot be permitted to walk among us.

This is not a Hollywood script or a caricature dreamt up by the liberal Left. It is an actual policy position put forward by the man who is currently the presumptive Republican party nominee for president of the United States.

Oh yeah, tricky huh?  Trump thinks every Muslim is a walking time bomb…doesn’t he?  Well no actually…what he thinks is that some, many perhaps, who would seek to enter the US would do so with malign intent and would do so by smuggling themselves in amongst those with perfectly peaceable intentions.  Trump’s point was that perhaps Muslim immigration should be temporarily halted in order to allow the US to formulate some sort of policy to deal with this…he did not say every Muslim, man, woman and child, had a suicide belt strapped to their bodies.

Our boy Dan then asks what of Muslims already amongst us…does Trump wish to incarcerate them inside some sort of Guantanamo?

And what are the implications of that policy position – not its implementation, but its mere articulation – for those Muslims who can’t be shut out? Those Muslims who already walk among us?

A tricky problem no doubt…but then perhaps Trump could ask, hmmm, let me think, he could ask advice from one Dan Hodges who thinks Muslims are a problem and need to be dealt with…including those ‘fairweather supporters of  Islamic fundamentalist terrorism’….

There is a clear link between Islam and terrorism. It’s up to all of us to break it

 

Over a quarter of British Muslims have sympathy for the Charlie Hebdo terrorists. That is far too many

Just because you wouldn’t personally go out and murder people, it doesn’t make you moderate. We cannot turn a blind eye to the fair-weather supporters of terrorism

Too many of Britain’s Muslims are failing to integrate. We need to find out why

I don’t know why we have a specific problem of Muslim integration. I’m not sure anyone does. But I suspect one of the reasons is no one has really taken the time or effort to formally try and find out. And now we have to take time.

Yes, time to find out what the problem is…..erm…isn’t that what Trump said?…..Dan and Trump…soul brothers….Ban them both!!!!

I thnk Hodges perfectly illustrates the mindset of  many in the BBC et al..he knows there is a problem but is unwilling to confront it in reality…he’ll make all the right noises when a bomb goes off but when someone, like Trump, starts to suggest actually putting measures into practise to deal with the problem the real Dan Hodges comes out….and of course such double talk is not limited to Hodges…it is endemic across the media and in politics where the unwillingness to confront the problem is rife….the usual formula is to waffle about Islamism and Islam being different…and not forgetting that old canard about the ‘religion of peace’…even Tariq Ramadan admits that the Koran preaches war.
