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.

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.

Ok, here you go, middle of the week and a new one of these. Hope you enjoyed the BBC pushing out loads of pro-muslim PR this morning. It seems that “only” 27% of UK muslims support Jihadi butchers. That’s around 700,000 by my calculation. Over to you…

  The BBC doesn’t like criticism, it likes to hand it out but doesn’t like it when the tables are turned. Last year it started to operate a new policy of attempting to charge down any criticism it received in the Press… Contact right!
