Here you go, a Chairman Mao approved mid week Open Thread. Over to you, Comrades.

The BBC is always very concerned about the possibility of the ‘Far Right’ on the march again…the BBC is however quite unconcerned about the Far Left despite the fact that the Far Left has a history as bad if not worse than, say, the National Socialists.

Where were the BBC warnings from history about this?…..

Athens on edge after explosion severely damages buildings

A bomb has exploded outside the headquarters of Greece’s business federation, in the first major attack since Alexis Tsipras assumed power in January.

Police rushed to the scene after two Greek newspapers received warning calls at 3am that a bomb had been placed outside the entrance to the business federation.

Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, suspicion has been quick to fall on imprisoned anarchists, who recently issued a call to arms in a manifesto posted online.

The proclamation, co-signed by Nikos Romanos, a young anarchist in prison for an armed bank robbery, urged Greeks to ensure a “black December” by taking part in “a month of coordinated actions” against banks, department stores, schools, universities and city halls, “spreading the message of rebellion, [placing] incendiary devices against fascists and bosses”.

“Our proposal is simple,” the manifesto declared. “An action campaign by the name Black December, which will be the detonator for the restart of anarchist insurgency inside and outside the prisons.”

Lord Hall Hall has spent much of the last year protecting the BBC’s very, very privileged and entrenched position when what he should have been doing is overseeing its news service and reining in the worst excesses of bias and foolishness that results in the BBC defending the mass murderers, killing in the name of Islam, in Paris.

Lord Hall Hall betrays everything the BBC should stand for and should be held accountable for his organisation’s aiding and abetting of the Islamist cause.

Even today we have three examples of the BBC trying to manipulate its audience’s perceptions of events…two by omission the other by a deliberate sleight of hand.

The first is a tale of a BBC star being abused by a Muslim with what can only be called hate speech for the way she dressed and the fact that she was a woman out alone…..if a non-Muslim spoke like that to a Muslim woman in a Niqab that would be classed as hate speech…why the difference?  The BBC would be all over that story.

‘Sharia taxi driver told me I was disgustingly dressed’: BBC star Frances Barber tells how she was accosted by Uber driver after the showbusiness awards ceremony

The BBC has not reported this story of ‘racial’ abuse….even though the victim is one of its own employees….the BBC would rather cover up for a Muslim extremist than defend its own employee in the interest of ‘community cohesion’.

The second example is classic BBC, taking a swipe at its commercial and political rival, the Murdoch Sun, and at the same time promoting the Islamist agenda.  The Sun published the results of a survey into Muslim attitudes which revealed that a large percentage of Muslims have sympathy with Jihadis in Syria….this naturally produced a backlash from aggrieved Muslims and their useful idiot friends on the left.

The BBC published two stories on this…one in BBC Trending, the social media being left-wing dominated BBC Trending is a vehicle that seems designed to give cover to reporting that is predominantly about left wing concerns…mainly race or Islam….BBC Trending is knowingly biased.

Hashtag mocks Sun survey on Muslim ‘sympathy’ for IS

What the BBC doesn’t admit openly is that the protests were organised by  a professional Muslim campaigner…

  Amazing work everyone involved in the #1in5Muslims campaign. We’ve been featured on @BuzzFeed @guardian @HuffPostUK @ajplus to name a few…

The BBC also publishes this story on the same subject…

Record complaints for Sun UK Muslim ‘jihadi sympathy’ story

Curious thing that in neither story does the BBC make reference to its own survey of Muslim attitudes towards Jihadis in which 27% were found to be sympathetic to Jihadi killers….

27% of the 1,000 Muslims polled by ComRes said they had some sympathy for the motives behind the Paris attacks.

Of course the BBC tried to downplay that survey as well presenting a rosy picture of Muslim attitudes that are belied by reality….and as nearly 80% of the Muslims surveyed were outraged by cartoons of Muhammed who can doubt that 27% is a rather conservative figure?

A suspected jihadi is arrested EVERY DAY to stop a Paris-style plot on UK soil, says Britain’s anti-terror police chief

The Telegraph got to the point…

Quarter of British Muslims sympathise with Charlie Hebdo terrorists

Curiously the BBC also seems to have ignored another news story about Muslims in the UK that doesn’t fit with the BBC’s own narrative….

Revealed: The three British women ISIS supporters who are spreading extremist ideology in UK and encouraging young girls to join the jihadists in Syria

• Undercover investigation exposes three British women as ISIS supporters
• Trio are seen promoting the terrorist group’s ideology and glorifying jihadis
• They also encourage impressionable young girls in UK to join ISIS in Syria
• Identified as Umm Saalihah, Umm L and Umm Usmaan in Channel 4 report

You may remember the BBC also totally ignored the astonishing expose by C4’s Dispatches programme ‘Undercover Mosque’ which revealed what the extremists were saying behind the closed doors of British mosques.  The BBC instead spent the same week trashing Jade Goody for a ‘racist’ comment she made in the heat of the moment during an argument in the Big Brother house…great to see what the BBC’s real priorities are….never mind extremist Muslim hate speech, instead launch an all out, week long attack on a white (with a mixed-race father), working class girl.

Odd isn’t it what the BBC prioritises and what it seeks to hide.  Three Muslim girls go off to be Jihadi brides and the BBC is there for them and their families….however, Muslim women aiding and abetting the radicalisation and recruitment of such girls in the name of Islam and the BBC ignores it.

From the Telegraph:

Frances Barber is right – Islamic extremism is changing London beyond recognition

Channel 4’s documentary about British female Islamic State supporters proves that our capital is no longer a byword for tolerance and diversity

Undercover Mosque 2

The BBC faithfully reports;

A boy who was arrested for taking a homemade clock to class is seeking $15m (£10m) from his city and school.  Ahmed Mohamed, 14, was held by police and suspended from his school in Texas because his teacher mistook the clock for a bomb. His lawyer said in a letter that the incident, which made global headlines, sparked threats against the teenager and left him deeply traumatised.

The entire tone of the BBC is biased TOWARDS Mohamed (sic) so I will allow Richard Dawkins to posit a voice the BBC will not tolerate;

Don’t call him “clock boy” since he never made a clock. Hoax Boy, having hoaxed his way into the White House, now wants $15M in addition!

In a way, I suppose London represents the BBC’s utopian version of society with a population mix totally unlike anywhere else in the UK, and the likes of Tower Hamlets as a jewel in the proverbial multiculti crown. So I suppose items like  “DNA study finds London was ethnically diverse from start” is simply reinforcement material to make them feel good.

Always laugh at the BBC’s desperate attempts to malign and undermine the British identity…by Pallab Ghosh….

DNA study finds London was ethnically diverse from start

Well yes…it was a city established by Roman Invaders with soldiers who came from all around Europe and beyond…as the BBC knows full well….

Who was in the Roman army?

Only men could be in the Roman Army. No women. Every Roman soldier was a Roman citizen. He had to be at least 20 years old. He was not supposed to get married while he was a soldier. Most soldiers in the Roman Empire came from countries outside Italy. There were Roman soldiers from Africa, France, Germany, the Balkans, Spain and the Middle East.

Ghosh’s contention is that because they have found some skeletons with DNA from North Africa that means that Britain was a wonderfully multi-cultural land of immigrants …so why worry about immigration now?…that of course ignores the fact we’re not Romans, let alone North African, and that debate around immigrtion centres mostly on space and resources, quality of life, as well as cultural and identity issues…..he doesn’t mention that at least two of the skeletons were probably from slaves…one being a gladiator and one a girl from North Africa.

‘The analysis reveals what some of the very first Londoners looked like and where they came from.

The first results are from four people: two had origins from outside Europe, another was from continental Europe and one was a native Briton.’

I imagine the BBC would come to a similar conclusion about the wondrous multiculturalism of Russia if they looked at graves in Moscow and found some Germans there….conclusion all Russians are in fact descended from German invaders…..no such thing as a ‘Russian’.

The BBC’s strange take is that because London was established by the Romans it is OK to dismiss the identity and existence of the rest of the population of Britain.

The population of Britain may have been in flux with various invasions but for the last 1000 years it has remained fairly stable as DNA studies show….nearly every Brit has DNA that links them to the old Britons and Celts….something the BBC is desperate to deny.

The Guardian blows the BBC’s narrative apart….

‘The Romans, Vikings and Normans may have ruled or invaded the British for hundreds of years, but they left barely a trace on our DNA, the first detailed study of the genetics of British people has revealed.

The analysis shows that the Anglo-Saxons were the only conquering force, around 400-500 AD, to substantially alter the country’s genetic makeup, with most white British people now owing almost 30% of their DNA to the ancestors of modern-day Germans.’

Perhaps that’s why we are so often called  ‘Anglo-Saxons’……no surprise there then….that should put an end to all those smug left wing comedians whinging about our alien ‘German’ Royal Family.

The Telegraph also undermines the BBC’s agenda….

‘Britons are still living in the same ‘tribes’ that they did in the 7th Century, Oxford University has found after an astonishing study into our genetic make-up.

Archaeologists and geneticists were amazed to find that genetically similar individuals inhabit the same areas they did following the Anglo-Saxon invasion, following the fall of the Roman Empire.

In fact, a map showing tribes of Britain in 600AD is almost identical to a new chart showing genetic variability throughout the UK, suggesting that local communities have stayed put for the past 1415 years.

Many people in Britain claim to feel a strong sense of regional identity and scientists say they the new study proves that the link to birthplace is DNA deep.’

 

For some reason I can’t find a mention of this on the BBC website…

Ken Olisa: The most powerful black man in Britain

He’s the Queen’s escort in London who locked horns with John Bercow and has a library named after him at Cambridge – not bad for a boy who grew up without a loo in Nottingham

You  might have thought such an inspiring story from a black role model would be something that the BBC would trumpet.  Seems not.

The story did get a mention on 5LiveDrive (about 17:55) when they interviewed Ken Olisa about the Black ‘power list’…..The BBC’s immediate take was that such a list proved there was a glass ceiling in business and society…ie  Britain is racist…which is an odd conclusion…a conclusion Olisa himself roundly dismissed telling the BBC that there clearly was no glass ceiling, as the power list showed, opportunities exist for Blacks as much as anyone else, therefore he suggested there was another reason that explains why some black people don’t get into high places…such as because they don’t think they can so they don’t even try….belief that they will fail is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Now where might black people get the idea that they are victims and eternally condemned to the fringes of society?  Could it be from organisations like the BBC that peddle a view of life that helps create a sense of victimhood and hopelessness when in reality the opportunities are there for the taking if only people weren’t brainwashed into thinking they are hopeless and helpless by lefty organisations and black grievance agitators with an agenda?

‘Does he think we live in a culture of victimhood?

“Well I think it’s in the interests of a lot of people to get others to feel downtrodden, so that they can claim to come and raise them back up again.” Disaffected minorities seem now to be a majority, but Olisa sees no reason for why this should be.

“This Powerlist, it shows that black people can do everything. There can no longer be an argument that if you can’t get on because you are black. There are lots of other reasons you can’t get on – you’re incompetent, you can’t speak properly, you can’t spell, you don’t get to work on time. But it’s not because you are black.” ‘

Once again the BBC is shown to be an organisation whose ‘do-gooding’ actually does more harm to race relations and the prospects of black people than good…..as with immigration, Islam and the economy where the BBC line advanced with determined and wilful blindness as to the truth by its employees on each of these subjects has been dangerous and misguided.

Got to love the way the BBC lobbies for “change” on the basis there must be no change.

A new week dawns and time for a new Open Thread. Here is where you detail the BIAS.

Maajid Nawaz  You couldn’t make this shit up. Friday 13th nightmare, as all-male Islamist Rogues’ Gallery gathers in Bedford, UK.

If you have the time and energy…..

You could of course just read the Mail’s (The BBC doesn’t have one) write up of the ‘event’…

Radical panellists at ‘Quiz a Muslim’ event demanded establishment of an Islamic State in Britain as jihadists went on bloody rampage through Paris

‘As jihadists rampaged through Paris on Friday night, radical panellists at a Muslim debate in Britain reportedly told of the duty to establish an Islamic state.

Speakers at the Quiz A Muslim event in Bedford included Taji Mustafah, of radical Islamic organisation Hizb-ut Tahrir, and Moazzem Begg, a former Guantanamo Bay inmate and founder of campaign group Cage, whose director called Jihadi John a ‘beautiful young man’.

The panellists said that there is an ‘Islamic’ duty to ‘struggle’ for an ‘Islamic state’, as 132 were executed in shootings and suicide bombings.’

Oh no hang on the BBC does tackle this nest of Islamists…or not…listen to the condescending sneer from the BBC presenter (Three Counties)as he reads out the Mail’s headline…and then listen to his description of the Islamist ‘5Pillars’….

Panorama’s John Ware, the BBC’s ‘outlier’ when it comes to revealing the truth about Islam in the UK, knows the truth about 5Pillars and its deputy editor…

‘…..a mouthy young Islamist called Dilly Hussain to describe Khan as “the government-friendly desperado”. He is deputy editor of a new website called 5Pillars which refers favourably to the extremist organisation Hizb-ut-Tharir as “working for the re-establishment of the Caliphate”.

While Hussain sermonises about “Islam’s true teachings of brotherhood” he also does a particularly venomous line in abuse against the “sisterhood”, describing Khan as an “airhead” who belongs to an “ultra-minority of secular liberal ‘Muslims’ who service nothing and no one but Islamophobes.” He has likewise called another female Muslim critic a “stupid liberal cow”, a “fat cow” and a “p***head” who writes “drunken liberal garbage” and should “do one”.

The personal vituperation and constant smearing by Muslims of co-religionists who dare to challenge this kind of non-violent extremist narrative helps explain why more have not put their heads above the parapet.’

The Panorama video (Via 5Pillars editing) is here but can’t be viewed in the UK….except on a proxy server.

Why oh why is it so impossible for the BBC’s everyday presenters to get their act together and know what they are talking about when it comes to Islam and its propagandists?
