The World Economic Forum has produced a ranking for women’s position and influence in societies around the world. (page 16)

The UK ranks  18th, one below South Africa, whilst Japan ranks 105 and Kazakstan 32….and France 45, Israel 53.

The BBC is quick to make sure you know that:

The G20 group of leading industrial nations has no representative in the top 10, nor do the Middle East or Africa.

That was undoubtedly just in case you were thinking that Islamic countries were oppressive regimes for women….Western Democracies are too…..what the BBC doesn’t point out is the massive gap between those G20 countries and ‘The Middle East’ as it coyly names the offending regimes.

Just by coincidence there’s this map of the world’s religions in the Daily Mail:

Remarkable similarity.

As mentioned before…The BBC working hand in hand with Labour to massage Miliband’s image….and we all know Marxists love ‘the family’…..about as much as the BBC does.

We’ve had the Newsnight ‘Milibandism’ party political broadcast and now this clip from Desert Island Discs (full version on Monday).

Guess now that Miliband’s ally at the top of the Co-op is no longer available for donations the BBC has stepped up with its donations ‘in kind’.

The BBC’s trail shows exactly what the intention of this charade is:

Ed Miliband: ‘Parents welcomed us into politics’

Ed Miliband has attributed his interest in politics to his parents, in a programme for BBC Radio 4.

The Labour leader spoke to Kirsty Young for an edition of Desert Island Discs, which is due to air on Sunday.

In October, Mr Miliband called for an apology from the Daily Mail newspaper, after it published an article about his late father, Ralph, entitled ”The Man Who Hated Britain.”

In a contrast to the BBC’s take on East European immigration here is the Daily Mail’s:

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: A million of our young out of work, dictatorship by Brussels and why Mr Cameron can no longer ignore the people on immigration

In less than six weeks, unless there is a decisive Government U-turn, Britain, as required by the European Union, will throw open its jobs market to the 29 million citizens of Romania and Bulgaria.

It’s a development which could have the most considerable implications for the Prime Minister, British society and, most importantly, this country’s one million unemployed young people.

Yet David Cameron and his ministers are approaching January 1 with a head-in-the-sand insouciance which is so sadly typical of a political class that is increasingly remote from the lives and concerns of ordinary voters.

Incredibly, the Government has refused to estimate how many migrants will arrive. 

This week, Mark Harper, the Immigration Minister, said — with frightening complacency — that he didn’t think the number would be huge.

In doing so, he ignored hard empirical evidence that a new wave of immigration is about to take place that will place huge strain on our already stretched schools, hospitals and housing.

Consider the facts: the average wage in Britain is about £26,000 a year, compared with just over £3,000 in Bulgaria and £4,000 in Romania. It’s utterly unsurprising that, when the Mail visited both countries recently, there were huge queues at recruitment centres for British hotel chains, fast-food firms and the NHS.

Even before the restrictions are lifted, 135,000 workers from Romania and Bulgaria are already in this country. This number has increased by 23,000 in the past year alone.

So now we know…. the BBC told us that moving production out of London was providing jobs for Taxi drivers and hairdressers:

Host David Dimbleby was forced to apologise to viewers as panelists Labour Peer Baroness Bakewell – formerly TV presenter Joan Bakewell – and blogger Tim Stanley were left stranded in a stricken train. Their train was diverted because of a trackside fire near Tamworth which caused widespread disruption to Virgin services on the West Coast mainline.

Should have put the taxi driver on the panel to fill in….talk more sense than little old Russell ever does.

Shock horror……

Black Brits are uncomfortable with immigration

To hear black people opposed to immigration is nothing new. In 2011 a study by Searchlight Educational Trust found 21 per cent of black Britons believed that all immigration into the UK should be stopped permanently, or at least until the UK’s economic situation improves. The study found 17 per cent of black Britons believed immigration had been a bad thing for Britain. However, what stunned me was the anger I witnessed.

At Goldsmiths University the panel was asked whether immigrants take jobs from Brits or merely do the jobs that Brits are unwilling to do. I shared how my hardworking British friends in the construction industry found themselves undercut and almost unemployed when the Polish builders first arrived on the scene.

At Oxford University, a black female student was furious at our politicians’ inability to discuss, address or control immigration. At Manchester University, a black female student was annoyed to find herself in the English-speaking minority on her Medical Science degree course. At Greenwich University, a black charity worker from East London shared his deep-seated irritation at how the local culture had been transformed by Asian and Somali immigrants: “I feel uncomfortable” he said. His candid comment led to an awkward silence.

One concern of the Great Debate founders is that blacks are not as politically active as whites. But immigration was the one issue black people in these audiences did have a political opinion about. And black Brits are uncomfortable with it.

Talking about immigration is racist.

And yet the BBC’s finest tells us it’s only Whites who can be racist….

Jo Brand: My personal opinion is that you can’t be racist towards white people. You can be prejudiced about them but being prejudiced isn’t an illegal act whereas being racist can be.

Phil Williams: Don’t you think racism is just being derogatory about a race, regardless of the colour?

Jo Brand: No I don’t. I think the definition of racism also encompasses political power. So you can’t be racist towards a race that’s politically more powerful than a minority. That to me is the correct definition of racism. I think you can be prejudiced towards a group of people who are more powerful than you, but I don’t think you can be racist towards them.

 

 

So clearly it’s not racist for Black people to talk about immigration…so let’s hear more of their voices on the BBC.

The BBC is bringing you yet more information about immigration that should sooth your worries, lessen your concerns and put to rest all those thoughts you may have had that your country is being invaded, occupied (like the Palestinians?)….all that and they still manage a less than subtle sneer at Nigel Farage……

New year new life in the country for migrant workers?

Eric Pickles says he doesn’t know.

And Jack Straw doesn’t know either.

But he admits the Labour government, in which he served as home and foreign secretary, got it wrong by not imposing extra controls when EU expansion triggered the arrival here of migrant workers from eastern Europe.

The one leading politician who says he does know is the UKIP Leader Nigel Farage.

“If you open your doors to people from countries with significantly lower wages and GDP than the UK then migratory flows will come,” he said.

However the BBC knows the likely figure because:

When I chaired a BBC conference earlier this year, attended by representatives of the Bulgarian and Romanian embassies here, they were dismissive of what they clearly saw as alarmist speculation…..those relatively modest numbers who were considering it were likely to be top professionals like medics who would be assets rather than liabilities.

Fantastic…though maybe not for Romania and Bulgaria whose ‘top professionals’ flee the country leaving behind all those poor, unskilled people to manage things on their own.

Unless they all come here.

The BBC’s sneer at Farage is obviously just a sneer because he is right…as Migration Wtach points out.

The BBC tells us that:

Net migration is currently running at 150,00 a year and the campaigning organisation Migrationwatch UK estimate this new influx could push that figure up to 200,000.

About 50,000 people from Romania and Bulgaria will come to the UK every year when restrictions are lifted next year, think tank Migration Watch suggests.

The BBC has before commented:

Migration Watch has a good track record analysing future population trends so its latest forecast should be taken seriously

So it is Pickles and Straw who are ducking the issue whilst Farage is probably right.

Perhaps another relevant figure the BBC could have quoted in this article was this:

Projections show that over the next 10 years the population is going to increase by 4.3 million to 68 million and over the next 25 years the population will increase by 9.6 million from 63.7 million in mid-2012 to 73.3 million in mid-2037. The UK population will hit 70 million in 2027.

The BBC squeals often enough about immigration to other lands….such as the West Bank….If the West Bank is being occupied then so is the UK by people just wondering across the border setting up their own mini homelands….but seems to promote it here.

No doubt someone will pipe up…‘But it’s legal occupation‘…..well no one asked the population already here…in fact the politicians deliberately hid the scale of immigration and their reasons for it, and the likely effects…all aided by the BBC.

A wave of Romanians and Bulgarians is heading our way, thanks to the EU’s lack of democracy

Those little heard voices of the people give their opinion of the BBC’s coverage:

  Here in the UK we are short of many things. Things like good and honest politicians, housing, school places, health care, energy, seats on trains, and space on our roads on which we can drive. What we are not short of is people. What is the benefit of even more uncontrolled immigration (oh yes it is!) for the citizens of our country?

  The thing that keeps a nation united, is the people of that nation having shared values.
  We are deliberately being swamped by immigrants who don`t share our values,
  It`s time to let the MPs know that we know what they are doing to Britain and the British people.

  You couldn’t make it up….this is the results of ‘socialism’. The EU and ‘one big happy family’.Doesn’t matter about all the different cultures, religions, ethnic groups with hundreds of years differences. and economic differences.
  ‘It would be lovely to all live together in one big happy family’. When will these idealogues and socialist inteligencia pursue the real world.?

  Anyone know the Statue of Liberty song? ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning’… to sign on in the UK and drain the country dry!!

  Believe it or not, I am no racist but enough is enough.

  Why should we give up even more of OUR country to even more immigrants to have it concreted over with houses for them, school place shortages, extended hospital and GP waiting times and so on. Where I live it is like being in Poland. They are not in skilled jobs, live 6-8 in a house so are happy with minimum wage to share the bills.They are not friendly, do not mix and don’t even like us.

  We get the best when eu migrants come here; after all they uprooted themselves to find new opportunities abroad.
  Done it myself, it can be tough.
  Problem is they’re, young, outcompete many of our own perpetual adolescents, then settle.
  This is massive continent wide human engineering for EU ideological purposes, like the euro.
  A kind of corrupt religion with our politicians as fat bishops.

    The problem is not just migrant workers from the EU.
    Look how the government is dealing with immigration from outside the EU.
    Relaxing immigration from China, so that UK visa’s are no longer required to visit the UK, as long as a visa to another EU country has been obtained.
    Governor of the BoE, from Canada, police chiefs from anywhere in the world.
    No building of affordable rental housing.

They signed on Jobseekers and Wife was sent for English lessons. They approached elderly neighbour for help with Child Benefit forms … Then 2 women and kid went home.

      This uncontrolled EU Immigration only compounds the true reason as to why there are so many unskilled jobs available for the migrants to fill. The wages are almost criminally too low – too low for British nationals to take up, but fantastic for people struggling on 5 times less in their own country. Plus they are also entitled to benefits.
      The real winners = unscrupulous employers

Here you go, on-time and in place to take us off into the wild blue yonder of the weekend. Spotted any bias from the State Broadcaster? Detail it here please.

Funny old world…the BBC absolutely refused to cover allegations, covered in depth by Guido, that Tim Yeo, as chairman of the climate change committee, was in any way compromised with so many green business interests resting on the decisions and advice of that committee.

Yeo was then put under investigation by fellow MPs concerning other allegations about lobbying (Sunday Times video on Guido)….and today it has been announced he is corruption free.

The BBC are straight in there cheering him on on the frontpage:

MP Yeo cleared by standards watchdog

The BBC reports this:

The paper said he had admitted telling a business associate what to say in evidence to the committee he chaired.

But then gives us this:

But the watchdog said the newspaper had used “subterfuge, misrepresentation and selective quotation” in its report.

The MPs criticised the tactics used by the Sunday Times in approaching Mr Yeo.

“We note the severe damage which is done to public trust by journalism which rests on a basis of subterfuge, misrepresentation and selective quotation,” the report said.

“Media investigations can have a role to play in ensuring high standards of public conduct, but we note that in this case Mr Yeo has broken no rules and the only misrepresentation has been that of the journalists themselves.”

Watch the video and he makes exactly that claim…that he told a business associate what to say in evidence.

Funny the BBC not mention that….nor indeed provide the video.

Funny the BBC not mention this conclusion by the watchdog about his words in that video:

“….they could give the impression of a senior member of the House who has little regard for the rules and can easily find his way round them in order to suit his own purposes.”

..and yet his fellow MPs still cleared him.

Choke.

And these are the guys who the BBC wants to run Press regulation?

Of course what the BBC doesn’t mention are all his massive green industry interests which, without a shadow of a doubt, would compromise his position in the eyes of most onlookers…..though not a matter for this investigation by the standards watchdog.

Will read the Sunday Times with keen interest this week.

I was listening to an item on the Today programme this morning around 6.4oam. It concerns Obama’s request that NO more sanctions are directed the way of Iran whilst John Kerry and co are trying to cut a deal with the Mullahs. The reporter (with an Irish accent?) was plainly anti-Israel and she actually said that Obama’s legacy was as a President who ENDED wars. Syria? Libya? Afghanistan? Netanyahu was presented as intransigent and US jewish people seeking to influence opinion were presented as unhelpful lobbyists! Just a little Israel hatred to start the day… I can’t share the link to it as there is none but perhaps others heard this contemptible item?

Yesterday, the BBC gave huge prominence to a “suggestion” by the Attorney General of Northern Ireland that there should be no prosecutions of any terrorists pre “Good Friday Agreement” It has been almost universally rejected but the interesting aspect is the enthusiasm the BBC had for this immoral idea – an idea which Irish Republicans think may have legs. Today, the BBC via Panorama tonight, suggests that…gasp …British soldiers killed “unarmed civilians” aka IRA terrorists.

What sickens me most about all this is that the BBC  – via our license tax – are helping drive the IRA meme that all sides were as bad as each other and so a general amnesty is the way forward. The sheer immorality of this seems to fly high over BBC heads as they contrive to manipulate public opinion.
