Well, no real surprise. The BBC have adopted their default mode and sought to distance Islam from the acts of Islamic terror that defaced the City of Lights on Friday evening. Instead we get lots of nice images of International landmarks to show how the “international community” is showing solidarity. I’m surprised the BBC have not been able to find a pic of a MOSQUE draped in the French colours. … Continue reading
Why did Miliband lose the election? Possibly because he didn’t have the right man on side…Nick Robinson for instance, unfortunately put out of action during the election by ill health. Robinson, starting on the Today programme tomorrow, was a young Conservative but that might have been hard to ascertain if you listened to his BBC outpourings which, to me at least, seemed to lean towards favouring Labour. It seems … Continue reading
Switched on the radio, first thing I heard was Anna Foster (around 07:55) worrying that many people believe the Front National in France will get more support. She didn’t define who those ‘many people’ were of course….let me do it for her….BBC journalists, the Guardian and Muslim agitators. Why is the BBC completely unconcerned about the ‘worries’ of those who might vote for the Front National….the BBC dismisses them as … Continue reading
Listening to Nolan and a caller says the killers were not Muslim….silence from Nolan, silence, silence, then he tells us… ‘That’s the most poignant thing you can say…that they are not Muslim’ Trouble is that isn’t true is it Stephen Nolan?

From the Independent: Here’s what a Charlie Hebdo cartoonist drew after the second Paris terror attack in a year… [liveblog] ‘The people who died tonight were out living, drinking, singing. They didn’t know they had declared war.’ ‘Terrorism is not the enemy. Terrorism is a mode of operation. Repeating ‘we are at war’ without finding the courage to name our enemies leads nowhere. … Continue reading
The Mail reports in a big headline…. Jihadis sneaked into France as fake Syrian refugees: Fresh security concerns over Europe’s borders as authorities reveal killers including a 15-year-old prowled streets in three coordinated teams Stephen Nolan on 5Live on other hand tells us that we must treat such knowledge with restraint…in other words hide the truth in order not to put a dent in the BBC’s narrative … Continue reading
Spot the difference between how the BBC reports Jeremy Corbyn’s intended, and now cancelled, speech…. The BBC… The Labour leader was set to say: “For the past 14 years, Britain has been at the centre of a succession of disastrous wars that have brought devastation to large parts of the wider Middle East. “They have increased, not diminished, the threats to our own national security in the … Continue reading
Well then, it turns out that Charlie Hebdo was simply a warm up act for the vile acts of Jihad Paris endured last evening. The BBC reports that at least 128 people were murdered. The question is – who carried out the attack and true to form, earlier this morning on BBC Radio4 Today, the words “Islamic terrorism” were noticeably absent.
