The Long View of Targeted Fake News Jonathan Freedland compares the current wave of fake news stories, particularly those targeted at Muslims and immigrants in the UK, with the anti-Semitic story of an eight-year-old Christian boy, William of Norwich, who was murdered in woodland outside his native city in 1144. His death was later reported as a Jewish conspiracy and ritual, becoming the founding myth of the so-called ‘blood libel’. … Continue reading →

    Curious how the new ban on electronic devices on aircraft coming to and from a certain six nations is not being described as anti-Muslim, nor is the BBC using the descriptive ‘Mostly Muslim countries’ when reporting which countries are being affected… The ban affects direct flights to the UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. ….unlike of course when Trump banned travel from 7 countries … Continue reading →

    Martin McGuinness is dead, dying from a rare heart condition….many might think it odd that he was found to have had one after a career murdering and torturing so many, and so many of the murdered being women and children. Still, the BBC’s John Simpson thought he could be compared to Nelson Mandela, oh maybe not quite exactly like him but you’d have to see him on the … Continue reading →

    A comparison of figure 1 to figure 2 indicates that the UK public actually became more positive towards EU immigration between November 2015 and November 2016, the period covering the campaign, vote and supposedly hate-filled aftermath. There is nothing here that supports the ‘tide of hate thesis’.   The BBC has mounted a sustained campaign of hate against Leave voters denouncing them as racist, ignorant and bigoted, claiming … Continue reading →

The comrades have been caught out yet again… A phone call to the Allan Beswick Show on BBC Radio Manchester and BBC Radio Lancashire has been subject to an investigation by the BBC Trust. It was found in breach of editorial guidelines for allowing a caller to speak on-air about having sex with his own eight-year-old children. Trustees were deeply troubled by the fact that the caller had been allowed on … Continue reading →

Well, this was always going to be a predictable moment. I refer to the “Mandelisation” of IRA terrorist godfather Martin McGuinness by the BBC on the occasion of his death. “The BBC has been accused of ‘ despicable fawning’ over ‘terrorist godfather’ and former IRA commander Martin McGuinness in their obituary pieces this morning. On Twitter some furious viewers accused the corporation of having ‘blood on their hands’ and ‘fawning over [him] like he was … Continue reading →

  From the Spectator…shame the BBC joined in the anti-Boris outrage… A few weeks ago, Boris Johnson made a point about the EU negotiations and the futility of the idea of punishing Britain for the sake of it. ‘If Monsieur Hollande wants to administer punishment beatings to anybody who chooses to escape’, he said, ‘rather in the manner of some World War II movie, then I don’t think that is the … Continue reading →

    Anti-mass immigration campaigner Tommy Robinson was verbally and physically abused by demonstrators on an anti-Islamophobia march on Saturday, after approaching them and attempting to engage in conversation. Police detained him and ordered him off the streets, saying this was “easier” than “taking on” the aggressive protestors.   Tommy Robinson was forced off the streets by police as he was attacked by protestors…the police saying… When Robinson asks why … Continue reading →

  Much as the Russians are alleged to have deniable operatives acting on their behalf with a degree of separation the BBC also has many fellow travellers who pump out their propaganda…such as Rachel Shabi, someone who is fully onboard with the BBC worldview. Shabi was in the New York Times recently peddling the old BBC lie about Britain being a nation of immigrants….for a thousand years we were not… … Continue reading →
