It’s almost as IF the BBC wants us to feel a little sorry for Michael Abebolajo. The Mail reports;

Prison officers have reacted with fury to claims from Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebolajo that he was ‘assaulted’ while in prison.  The man accused of hacking to death Fusilier Lee Rigby in the street was involved in a violent incident in Belmarsh high security jail last week in which he lost two teeth. In an interview with BBC News over the weekend, Adebolajo’s brother Jeremiah claimed warders in the prison ‘took offence’ when the remand prisoner refused to obey an instruction and then ‘smashed his head against a window’. The BBC also reported the claim – denied by Prison Service officials – that the murder suspect had been denied medical treatment.

It amuses me that whilst the BBC struggles to actually assignate the label “terrorist” to the likes of Al Queda, or the IRA, or Hezbollah, or pick your terrorist gang here, it IS able to call its own DALEKS terrorists! So in a fantasy world, it can attribute moral value but NOT in reality!!

A Biased-BBC reader points out that the BBC seems to have missed this story about one of Morsi’s Ministers being filmed beating an 11 year old boy.  Considering all the coverage which  the BBC gave to a story (used to demonise Israel) about a young Palestinian boy detained for throwing rocks at Jews, one would at least expect this story of authentic child abuse to be reported by the BBC’s vigilant journalists.

I was listening to the Today programme around 6.45am and caught a remarkably sneering piece by the BBC on how the Conservatives cannot be trusted on tax. The comment that really made my ears prick up was “It takes independent bodies like the Resolution Fundation to tell us how things really are” before going on to play a clip of Osborne saying NO tax increases before the 2010 election and then announcing an increase in VAT shortly thereafter. Mention was made of Brown doing something similar in 2000, but sadly no clip was available.  My beef with this is that a/The Resolution Foundation is a body with an activist left wing pro Labour agenda and so cannot possibly be seen as impartial and b/Perhaps the utter mess of the public finances created by labour which Osborne inherited may have contributed to hid decision to raise our VAT to EU average???

Good morning one and all, here is a much need NEW Open thread for you to detail the bias.

Burqa riots in Paris but our world class BBC don’t seem that interested on telling us on their home page. (Yes, I know it is the World page) By way of comparison they have the US bombing the Great Barrier Reef on the home page.

The BBC seem VERY concerned for the well being of Jihad butcher suspect Michael Adebolajo. And when it’s not concern for poor Michael then its concern for Mosques being attacked by (whispers) Ukrainians  It’s almost as IF the BBC seeks to present Islam as the victim!!!

Ah, how touching of the BBC to publish this obituary for “pioneering” US journalist Helen Thomas dies at 92. Thomas was a profound anti-Semite so even the BBC felt obliged to make passing reference to some of her vile comments but hey, she “regretted’ those slurs against Jews so no big deal. Right? Straight to hell, Helen. Naturally the BBC admire her.

Old thread overflowing so here’s one to take us all off into the sunny uplands of the weekend!

All too real
