Back at the beginning of February the BBC carefully picked its target, chose the perfect time and let loose hoping to mix things up for the Tories in the run-up to the election. When the BBC and the Guardian fired a broadside at HSBC earlier this year the target was not in fact HSBC….after all HSBC’s tax avoidance story was over 5 years old and well known.  To … Continue reading →

         Something from the BBC and presumably targeted at a Muslim audience…..shame they can’t be so honest about the Religion of Peace to the rest of us….. How Muslim Azerbaijan had satire years before Charlie Hebdo By Konul Khalilova Editor, BBC Azeri service     In this cartoon, the magazine depicts a prison with windows and a house of Muslim women with none More than 100 years … Continue reading →

      How soon the BBC forgets… Execution of a teenage girl On 15 August, 2004, Atefah Sahaaleh was hanged in a public square in the Iranian city of Neka. Her death sentence was imposed for “crimes against chastity”. The state-run newspaper accused her of adultery and described her as 22 years old. But she was not married – and she was just 16. In a town like Neka, … Continue reading →

  The BBC are very concerned about the welfare of three Muslim girls heading off for a spot of Jihad.  You just wonder how sympathetically concerned would the BBC be if they were heading off to join, ooh say, a ‘Fascist State’ war machine in central Europe. Actually we might have the answer as yesterday I heard one BBC presenter (was it Campbell?) suggest that going off to join ISIS … Continue reading →

  Things you wish you’d never asked. Mishal Husain on the Today programme took a direct hit this morning that seemed to put her completely off her stroke. Husain was interviewing Sir John Sawers, ex head of MI6. (08:36) She asked him a question about radicalisation… There’s a lot been said about how people are radicalised and we hear a lot about the internet.  A lot less is heard about … Continue reading →

    “In a very few years, perhaps in a very few months, we shall be confronted with demands with which we shall no doubt be invited to comply. Those demands may affect the surrender of territory or the surrender of liberty. I foresee and foretell that the policy of submission will carry with it restrictions upon the freedom of speech and debate in Parliament, on public platforms, and discussions … Continue reading →

Well then, the BBC is a curious one. Firstly it names the Islamic State decapitator-in-Chief, Mohammed Emwazi. Fair enough. It then proceeds to ponder is he really a victim of a bungling MI5. It also calls him a “militant” when he is by any definition a terrorist – cutting the heads off innocent people IS terrorism, dear BBC. The BBC have taken the same approach with the three teenage Jihadi … Continue reading →

It’s Friday and time for a new Open Thread to take us off into the weekend. Here is where you detail the bias! Over to you….

     Net foreign immigration is 352,000.   The borders remain open to one and all and the massed hordes of immigrants are still ‘flocking’ to Britain. The BBC told us today that immigration made the economy successful and it is this economic success that brings the immigrants. I’m certain you could all pick holes in the BBC’s pro-immigration propaganda.   Net immigration is stated as 298,000. But that doesn’t … Continue reading →

    Culture, Media and Sport – Fourth Report Future of the BBC     No long-term future for BBC licence fee, MPs say   The TV licence does not have a long-term future and is likely to be replaced by a new levy within the next 15 years, a group of MPs has said.
