This is what the BBC will not tell you about the beliefs and actions of the Muslim Brotherhood….and remember the Muslim Brotherhood is well established in the UK. First: ‘Last week in Egypt, when Muslim Brotherhood supporters terrorized the secular media, several Arabic websites—including Arab News, Al Khabar News, Dostor Watany, and Egypt Now—reported that people were being “crucified.” The relevant excerpt follows in translation:   A Sky News Arabic … Continue reading →

  Biased BBC by its very nature doesn’t often praise the BBC, or rather, doesn’t praise some of its professional, reliable and scrupulous journalists. One such journalist could be Ross Hawkins  (7 mins) who delivered an excellent overview of the latest controversy over the sale of school playing fields…or rather the new rules for regulating such sales. He explains the complexities and various scenarios simply, with clear insight into motives … Continue reading →

  From Guido Fawkes ‘The days of Big Media’s gatekeepers deciding what is news and what is not news, are long gone.

Well look at what his predecessor got paid and her ‘retirement’ fund: Robinson’s compensation in 2010 totalled $4.48 million, an 8 percent drop from $4.86 million in the prior year, based on The … Continue reading →
