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.

The Today programme reported on Cameron’s wheeze to create a £20m fund to help more Muslim women in the UK learn English which will make them better able to resist the lure of radicalisation. You could tell they were not happy and made sure that those Muslim advocacy groups committed to keeping themselves SEPARATE from UK culture had their say. However the BBC always chooses to ignore the elephant in the mosque – namely that Islam is demonstrably incompatible with the modern pluralist values Cameron says he wants to help muslim women embrace. If he REALLY wanted to help muslim women he would ban the burqa, imprison those who practise FGM and shut down the mosques teaching hatred.

Always fun to remember that prediction from the climate alarmists.

Delingpole also has his fun….

Remember: That Snow You See Out Of Your Window Is A Thing Of The Past

However that old climate PR spinner, Bob Ward, is getting tetchy….

.@JunkScience @tan123 Hey clowns, I live in London and there is no sign of snow here. Your blanket is a little patchy.

Trouble is the ‘clowns’ were right….

Thin but it was there….Ward’s clown feet firmly in his mouth as usual.

As we’ve looked at before the BBC claimed….

Weather records: December was ‘wettest month for UK’

and trumpeted that loudly even though the Met. Office stated that…

For the UK as a whole its currently the second wettest on record.

Just been looking at the rainfall totals for December for England and Wales.

You know what…not a record, not a record by a long, long chalk.

In December we had 145.1 mm of rain, the year’s total for 2015 was a meagre 969mm.

1779 we had 144.4mm and in 1803 we had 145.8mm in December, and in May 1778 we had 151.8mm….look through the whole record and you’ll find vast numbers of months across the year that had more rain than this December.

In 1768 we had a total of 1247.3mm of rain for the year….that’s quite a bit more than 969mm I’d propose.

Anyone starting to think that 2015 and December were not ‘records’ at all?  Maybe we had a lot of rain in one precise location but if you’re going to claim that that is somehow representative of the climate as a whole I’d suggest you’re talking out of your hat.

2015 ranks at number 167 out of 250 in a ranking of the wettest years...number 250 being the wettest…and which year is the wettest year on record?

1872, followed by 1768.

Scotland had the wettest December on record in 2015 but the wettest year is still 1938, 2015 coming in at 80 out of 85…..85 being the wettest….and if you look at the wettest months on record, ie January to December, only 2009 and 2015 make it into the records…the rest come mainly from the 1980’s and 90’s, with some being from 1935 onward…bearing in mind that the Scottish records only start in 1931 not 1766 as the English and Welsh ones do.  In total Scotland had about the same rain in 2015 as it had in 1998…another El Nino year….still vastly less than in 1938.

This is curious from Harrabin…

  Wet December 2015 may be trumped by wet Octobr 1903 when @metoffice rain record is digitised. http://blog.metoffice.gov.uk/2016/01/08/reporting-the-weather-across-the-uk/ … @ECIU_UK @CarbonBrief

So after all that trumpeting by the BBC that December was the wettest month on record for the UK…now not so much….and as Scotland’s data only starts in 1931 that can’t really be included.  Clearly he hasn’t had time to look at Met. Office records which show, as mentioned above, that a vast number of months across the centuries have been wetter than this December in England and Wales….so October 1903 is neither here nor there….and the records, digitised or not, already show that England and Wales in October 1903 had a massive 218.1mm of rain…why does Harrabin not know this already?…it might have given him a clue as to the real state of the weather UK wide.

Are the December rains the ‘new normal’ asks Harrabin….I would suggest they are the ‘old normal’….

 

• roger harrabin ‏@RHarrabin Jan 5

  Is December weather the new normal? Is there a new normal? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35228779 … @ECIU_UK @CarbonBrief @eciu @Revkin @aDissentient

Harrabon retweets this…..why when the records clearly show the rain was anything but unusual?….

  Extreme UK rains (like those seen in Storm #Desmond) are more likely with global warming http://buff.ly/21UHAk1
  

Wonder if anyone saw BBC “The Big Questions’ this morning? It was certainly explosive with left wing feminist rent-a-mouth harpy Kate Smurfwaite talking over everyone. However the BEST bit was when fellow leftist “Professor” Connie St Louis accused Milo Yiannopoulos of calling for the “assassination” of someone on his Twitter account. See Milo’s excellent response below. This is going to cost her.

OK folks, I’ve been away for a few days but am now back so let’s START the week early! Here you go detail the bias here!

Time flies I’m afraid and we’ve been caught out again with the open thread..so here’s another one to tide you over till we get back on track…..
