The racism of the white wolf who cried Islamophobia There’s a bee in my bonnet. Let’s talk about the racism of the white wolf who cried Islamophobia. I’m tired of a certain faction of Western liberals, especially white guys, Westsplaining about how anti-Muslim bigotry and Western colonialism and imperialism and international geopolitics provide *essential context* for understanding the sources of Muslim problems, which don’t come from … Continue reading
The Telegraph tells us about Derek Bateman who left BBC Scotland last year….. Derek Bateman was a long-standing BBC Scotland presenter who now, set up with his own blog, feels free to offer his view of England and Tory policies which presumably made him to toast of the BBC canteen in Glasgow. Here’s a taste of his sarcasm: Sorry for allowing your (English) policies to kill men in … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader asks the question why it is that the BBC seems a tad reluctant (shall we say) to publish stories which reflect negatively on the Gay agenda. Such as these two…. Regional daily loses thousands of sales with gay kiss splash and then… Gay Birmingham teacher quits primary school after parents complain
To be clear, I am not a member of ANY political party and am cynical about the lot of them. However it is perfectly obvious that the BBC has done its best today to try and undermine UKIP! It started the day pondering if their election posters are “racist” and now the intrepid Nick Robinson has had a go at Farage because he employs his German wife. I suggest that … Continue reading
UKIP are under fire….ironically by Labour…for their ‘racist’ advertisements: Not quite sure how that is racist….it is after all true…..even the first wave of East European immigrants complain about the next lot undercutting them in pay rates! The BBC have been reporting it at length…strangely concentrating a fair bit on who funded the adverts….but also happily reporting the ‘furore’ about alleged racism. Even … Continue reading
Just a reminder of the fickle world of politics…… David Cameron has declared that “Britain is a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so”, in a speech to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. “The King James Bible is a book that has not just shaped our own country, but shaped the world,” When did he declare that? In … Continue reading
This week’s Start the Week had ‘Anne McElvoy looking back at the life of the maverick scientist James Lovelock who pioneered the theory of Gaia, of a self-regulating Earth.’ Like that ‘maverick’ label. Lovelock also looks to the future and the next evolution of Gaia which could lead to the extinction of human life, and a rise of Artificial Intelligence, but the writer and ecologist George Monbiot prefers … Continue reading
Just listened to the whole of the Today programme interview with Jack Straw and an MCB rep (Talha Ahmed?) The question raised by John Humphrys asked that as many schools now have Muslim pupils in the majority ‘How should schools cope with that?’…..also asking……‘Do you see this as a problem?’ Ahmed naturally said no, no problem..in fact all the diversity (?) adds value to the wider society. … Continue reading
Have to laugh at the way in which the BBC instantly turns on one of its more usual favourites, the pro EU CBI, the nano-second it take a view they oppose. In Scotland, the CBI has chosen to oppose Scotland leaving the UK and this has caused those quangos who belong to the Scottish Government and who are also members of the CBI, to resign from the BBC. Listen to … Continue reading
