Dan Walker has been given preferential treatment by the BBC because he is a fundamentalist Christian.  He says... ‘I don’t want to be persecuted because I am a Christian’

Funny how the BBC turns a blind eye to the ‘Muhammedisation’ of Europe and yet expresses great concern about its ‘Putinisation’……

Poland accuses BBC of bias after broadcaster alleges country is being ‘Putinised’

Poland has launched a formal protest against the BBC in connection with a film suggesting that its current government was “Putinising” the country. A letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the broadcaster of being biased in its portrayal.

The report in question was broadcast on the BBC’s current affairs program Newsnight, which featured interviews with a government official, as well as members of the Polish public who are against recently introduced changes affecting Poland’s judiciary and the media.

“In our opinion, the report Is Poland being ‘Putinised? presented the current political situation in Poland in a superficial and distorted manner, far from the journalistic merits expected from the BBC and in apparent contradiction to some of the broadcaster’s own editorial guidelines,” a statement from Artur Dmochowski, a spokesman for Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, read.

The BBC likes to nail the likes of the EDL or Pegida by focussing on the few in those groups who express extreme views or use violence, the BBC ignoring the underlying motivation and rationale behind either movement.  In contrast they ignore the violence of the UAF who are often the actual cause of the violence at EDL rallies, and the BBC will tell us the EDL or Pegida are violent due to a few clashes as said usually instigated by the UAF, whilst telling us that Islam is the religion of peace….ignoring the fact that the Koran is very explicit in its sanctioning of violence to ensure the spread and reinforcement of Islam…an underlying violence to the religion…….a violence that even Tariq Ramadan admits is in the Koran.

‘I wouldn’t say Islam is a religion of peace…..People are naturally violent and religion channels that violence to serve its purpose…to get peace…it’s the way towards peace but it’s not the peaceful reality’

He then tries to turn it on its head….the problem, he says, is not the book but the reader….but the reader is reading a text that accepts people are violent and encourages people to use violence….so the problem is the text…non?

Use violence to move towards peace…but what is peace in Islam?….the domination of Islam over all other religions….with Islam on top there is no need for war…..‘They create a desert and call it peace’.

Back to Pegida……here is a look at Pegida UK that you won’t find at the BBC……the intrepid investigatiors can’t find anything racist about the group however they can’t resist levering in some suspicions…still, it’s far fairer than anything the BBC would do…the BBC being in league with the government to smear and undermine the EDL and no doubt Pegida UK now as well.

An Assessment of the PEGIDA UK rally

On a rainy Saturday 6th February, Pegida UK launched its inaugural demonstration in Birmingham, with similar rallies happening across Europe. An estimated 200 protesters attended the demonstration, which took place on a barren industrial estate miles from the city centre.

The march was peaceful and went smoothly without incident. No thugs, no fights, no Nazis, no inflammatory speeches. However, the rallies in other European countries did see some trouble with a fight in Dublin and some arrests in Calais. The new Pegida UK was keen to dispel allegations of racism or of being the EDL 2.0 but without the booze.  They placed warnings on pre-protest information, saying Neo Nazis would not be accepted at the demonstration. Likewise, Tommy Robinson in his speech talked about meeting a man with swastika tattoo on his finger on Friday night, and then said (in an obviously frustrated voice): “six years on and I’m still having to tell you: if you’re a Nazi, if you’re a racist, and you’re watching this – you’re not welcome on the streets in the UK with us.”

Moreover, the people who attended the demonstration were not a singular, unitary, monolithic bloc.  One protester NOTA Network interviewed said he came because he was worried about English identity and culture being threatened by Islam. Another one said he was not against “all immigration” but wanted “limited immigration”. And another protester said he was here to “defend free speech”. It would be slightly unwise to arrogantly dismiss them all as racists and xenophobes, though that doesn’t mean they were liberal democrats either.

There was not anything that struck me as worryingly racist in the interviews we did or at the rally generally. I say this as a black man who was with my friend Sam Sholli, who is of Iranian stock. We did not feel like we were in danger or anyone was racist towards us. They just seem to be people that are fed up with a status quo that is not working for them and their communities.

Craig at Is the BBC biased?  [hell yeah] brought this to the world’s attention…from the BBC’s Analysis programme….

The ‘island of Ireland’?  Does the BBC not recognise Northern Ireland then?  Does the BBC not understand there is already a border between Ireland and Northern Ireland?

And oh yes…we don’t want any of thise ‘divisive’ things called borders do we?  And ‘revive dangerous tensions’?  Do they not read the news?  Maybe they’ve missed the fact that the ‘war’ goes on.

The BBC has been giving it both barrels today about the ‘teacher shortage’….a scandalous, never known before,  disaster that the Tories are responsible for apparently.

Curous that this ‘sudden’ disaster is one that is an ever recurring one, not just in the UK but around the world….

‘The attraction and retention of teachers is a problem faced by schools worldwide and possibly more so in the public sector.’

The BBC is banging on about teacher shortages, retention and teachers teaching subjects they are not fully qualified to teach and that there is an acute shortage of teachers in certain subjects such as maths and science.  So what’s new?

Let’s have a bit of perspective.  There’s nothing new about this. It was a huge problem under Labour, a problem they clearly didn’t fix, and indeed made worse by their immigration policies. For the BBC, as always, history begins, for political purposes, in 2010 with a mainly Tory government…..all was beautiful and bright pre-2010, the Dark Ages only began with Cameron and his Etonian cabal.

For the BBC’s Journalists’ sake let’s have a look at some headlines from Labour’s time in office…and they’re from the Guardian…..apart from this one in 2000…from the BBC…how soon they forget….

Tories attack on teacher shortages

Schools are facing a “catastrophic” teacher shortage, warns the Shadow Education Secretary, Theresa may.

According to figures which the Conservatives will quote in a debate in the House of Commons on Wednesday, there will be a shortage of over 30,000 teachers by 2004.

From the Guardian, 2004….

Variable pay could end teacher shortages

Targeted training and better pay for secondary school teachers working in deprived areas could significantly reduce teacher shortages, according to a Commons report published today.

The report, on teacher recruitment and retention published by the Commons education and skills committee, voices concern about the large number of staff teaching outside the subjects they originally qualified in and recommends that the government examines in more detail why up to a third of trainee teachers still quit before, or shortly after, entering the profession.

2004…

Report predicts ‘serious’ teacher shortage

Schools in England are going to be hit by a serious shortage of teachers over the next 10 years as nearly half of present staff retire, warns a report from the London School of Economics, which will make gloomy reading for the incoming education secretary, Ruth Kelly.

The report warns: “England has an ageing teaching profession, especially in primary schools – 40% of all teachers are aged 45-55, and those aged over 55 account for another 6% of the workforce. “Within the next 10 years, nearly 50% of the current workforce is likely to have retired. Since the number of pupils is not forecast to decrease significantly, at the current level of recruitment there is likely to be a large shortage of teachers.”

2004…

Class size crisis looms as more teachers quit

Britain’s education system is short of tens of thousands of teachers as staff fed-up with long hours and low pay quit, according to a new study. It warns that the problem of increasing class sizes will worsen over the next decade.

2006….

Low-attaining schools deprived of maths teachers, research shows

Pupils in low attaining schools are more likely to be being taught maths by teachers who are not qualified in the subject, according to research published today.

Just over one-fifth (21%) of maths teachers working in schools in England with the lowest GCSE results did not hold a post-A-level qualification in the subject.

2006…

Lack of PE teachers puts health drive in doubt

The government’s commitment to tackle childhood obesity has been thrown into doubt because Glasgow’s primary schools have only a handful of PE teachers.

2006….

Government ‘in denial’ of headteacher shortage

Headteachers today accused the government of being “in denial” over what they claim is a growing leadership crisis in England’s primary and secondary schools.

Their claims are based on new findings which reveal that there are now hundreds of schools without permanent senior staff to run them.

Had a little chuckle today when I heard a BBC presenter announce that…

‘Outside the corridors of power there is more support than you might imagine for David Cameron’s renegotiations with the EU’

Well yeah, fancy that, imagine that….The People are sick of the EU’s undemocratic impositions….just how long has she been asleep?  The BBC canvassed the views of a few Continentals and though the may have some warm feelings for the EU immigration is a big problem for them.  Bloody xenophobic Little Englanders Frenchies!

Later on (around 15:00 on 5Live) was treated to a lovie (Laurence Fox) telling us how awful nationalism is and what a shame we see borders going back up in Europe….we must have open borders and embrace the immigrant.  Wonder if he locks his house door when he leaves for work?  Bet he does.  What a Fascist.

The BBC is utterly shameless in the way it shapes its news output to hide inconvenient facts that at other times would be headline news.

Last week we put up a post about the BBC hiding the fact that children in Kent who needed the care services were being transported around the country because the Council was forced to supply their care services to immigrant children in preference to local kids.  The BBC showed absolutely no interest in investigating this issue…because of course it would reflect badly upon their own narrative about the blessing that is immigration.

The very next day the BBC then spent the day running a story about mental health patients being forced to travel far away from their homes, familys and friends to get treatment…naturally this was a ‘scandal’.  Indeed today we have exactly the same thing as an offical report is published on that very subject…

Mental health beds search ‘a scandal’

The practice of sending mentally ill adults in England long distances for care is unacceptable and must end, a report by experts says.

The Independent Commission, chaired by ex-NHS chief executive Lord Crisp, said some cases were potentially dangerous.

Some 500 patients travel more than 50km (31 miles) to access care each month – as acute inpatient beds or services are unavailable in their areas, it said.

The government has asked the NHS to cut unnecessary out-of-area treatments.

The Today programme thought this story was so important that it gave it pride of place at 08:10 and 5Live continued discussing the subject all morning…and no doubt is still doing so now.

Incredible, or not, that when given the chance to put the boot into the government on the NHS the BBC is always there….except when it may also concern other subjects close to the BBC’s heart which override not only its antipathy towards the government but also its sense of duty and legal requirement to provide us with accurate, truthful and impartial news.

Clearly the children of Kent, and of course the women of Cologne, don’t figure too highly in the BBC’s concerns, they can go hang…what’s important is to keep up the narrative, the deception, that all immigrants are good and bring only benefits to Europe.

Shameless is probably not the most appropriate word for the BBC journalists who would rather see women raped and assaulted or children torn apart from their families at a time when they need them most than admit mass immigration will never work and will tear countries, Europe, apart.

Hope those BBC journalists are proud of their cheerleading for open borders and mass immigration regardless of the price that others have to pay for their moral grandstanding.

Had to laugh at this disingenuous report from the BBC that asks…

Do names make us think storms are worse?

Storm Imogen has battered Wales and the west and south-west of England, the latest in a line of such events across the UK over the winter. But are storms getting worse or is the new convention of naming them simply grabbing them more attention, asks Justin Parkinson.

It seems like large storms are becoming more frequent. But this winter is the first time the Met Office has given names to storms, so are they becoming more common or are people simply more aware of them?

“I don’t think it’s been particularly stormy,” says a Met Office spokeswoman. “I think what’s happened is that the names have given them extra profile.”

The BBC knows full well that the whole point of naming these storms was to increase awareness of them and to make them appear more frequent and then to associate that with climate change whilst pretending it’s all about public safety.

Just more climate propaganda intended to ‘nudge’ the Public into accepting climate change, or should I say more correctly, man-made climate change, as fact.

Israel/Capital

Mark Urban on Newsnight referred to Jerusalem as ‘Israel’s capital’….apparently this was cause for complaint and the BBC duly prostrated itself and issued forth with a correction…

Newsnight, BBC2, 14 October 2015: Finding by the Editorial Complaints Unit

Complaint
A viewer complained that Mark Urban incorrectly referred to Jerusalem as “Israel’s capital”.

Outcome
His wording suggested that Jerusalem was the undisputed capital of Israel, which is not the case. However, the programme-makers had acknowledged the inaccuracy and posted a correction on the BBC’s website and Twitter. In the Unit’s view, this sufficed to resolve the issue of complaint.
Resolved

Why did the BBC ‘resolve’ the issue?  There is no issue…Jerusalem is the Israeli capital regardless of who else claims part of it…just as Israel is ‘Israel’ regardless of who wants to wipe it off the map.  Does the BBC ‘acknowledge the inaccuracy’ of calling Israel ‘Israel’?
