Sunday night and the BBC brought us the ‘TED Radio Hour’ which had some thought provoking thoughts.
Let’s hope someone at the BBC was listening…here’s the concluding remarks (46 mins 20 secs)…
‘The fact is that some of the biggest catastrophes we have seen rarely come from information that is secret or hidden. It comes from information that is freely available and ‘out there’ but we which are wilfullly blind to because we don’t want to handle, can’t handle, the conflict that it provokes….but when we dare to break that silence, when we dare to see and we create conflict we enable ourselves and the people around us to do our very best thinking.
Open information is fantastic, open networks are esssential but the truth won’t set us free until we develop the skills, the habits and the talent and the moral courage to use it.
Openness isn’t the end, it’s the beginning.’
Today we were told that Islamism has no connection with the beautiful religion of Islam. We saw Nigel Farage and his family hounded because of his views on immigration. We are not allowed to criticise that other religion called Climate Change.
All taboos or attitudes cheerfully backed by the BBC.
When will the BBC find that ‘moral courage’ to do the right thing and start to openly debate what the Koran really says, what 300,000 immigrants flocking to the UK each year really means, the possibility that in tackling CO2 we may be ‘curing’ the wrong thing?
The BBC has been wilfully blind, it has sought to avoid conflict that would arise when certain truths are spoken, it has sought to silence those who would dare to break that silence.
The BBC and its good intentions may be putting us on the road to Hell.
BBC ‘bias’ hinders immigration crackdown, says report
The BBC’s bias in favour of immigration has been a key block on the Government’s ability to tighten control on Britain’s borders, a report has claimed.
MigrationWatch UK, which campaigns for tougher migration rules, said the Corporation was guilty of a “strong bias” and even a reluctance to address issues raised by immigration.
