The Lost Boys

      Obama not also claiming these lost boys for his virtual family then?   The BBC is in a bit of a quandary….a mixed race killer who likes the IRA (one of the BBC’s favoured terror groups)…..they can’t avoid mentioning the IRA but perhaps, as with the Hispanic George Zimmerman, they can pass Harper off as purely white and settle for rolling their eyes in disgust at the … Continue reading

Mosqueovite

‘After years of trying to make sense of extremism, I want to understand the lives of ordinary Muslims, to go behind the walls and dispel the mystery and suspicion felt by non-Muslims on the outside’ The BBC has just broadcast what can only be described as a very provocative piece of pro-Muslim propaganda for the East London Mosque which has a well deserved reputation for extremist teachings (any search on … Continue reading

MID WEEK OPEN THREAD…

Well, the BBC did all they could to spin Corbyn’s “straight-talking” speech, didn’t they? I note they casually dismissed the fact that a section of it was written years ago for Neil Kinnoch. I note they overlooked he read out directional advice from the autocue. Straight-talking? Anyway, here’s a mid week open thread and the last one of this month!

Student union blocks speech by ‘inflammatory’ anti-sharia activist A human rights campaigner has been barred from speaking at Warwick University after organisers were told she was “highly inflammatory and could incite hatred”. Maryam Namazie, an Iranian-born campaigner against religious laws, had been invited to speak to the Warwick Atheists, Secularists and Humanists Society next month. But the student union blocked the event, telling the society that Namazie’s appearance could violate … Continue reading

Samira Ahmed: Most refugees are men – we should be asking why

    The BBC’s Samira Ahmed asks a fundamental question about the migrant crisis…but in The Big Issue magazine and not on the BBC…. Most refugees are men – we should be asking why “Just as in East Germany, looking at gender opens up a legitimate question about how you build a strong and stable society” One of the most intriguing anecdotal demographic phenomena of the 1990s was what happened … Continue reading
