Strange article here on the BBC magazine site, and this caught my eye in particular.. And indeed there were Jewish anarchists in Europe, as there are Muslim extremists now. But there was never a Jewish problem in France, any more than there is a Muslim problem now Not sure the next of kin of those slaughtered in Toulouse might agree with that contention.
Interesting article here on the BBC concerning a massacre of Kenyan Christian by Islamic Jihadists. Now that’s the way I put it but the BBC article is more nuanced and it is quick to get a quote in from the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims condemning this latest atrocity from Al Shabab. The fourth paragraph almost suggests that Kenya had this coming for daring to deal with Al Shabab!
Allah is our goal; the Prophet is our guide; the Quran is our constitution; Jihad is our way; and death for the glory of Allah is our greatest ambition. The BBC doesn’t like to frighten you with tales of Islamic jurisprudence but a good story’s a good story and needs to be told. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin. The BBC, and many others, wax lyrical about … Continue reading
I’d seen this in the Guardian the other day and was musing on how to work it into a post on BBC Bias….I could have used the usual ‘tenuous’ link of it being an ‘illustration of the BBC mindset’…..but to be fair the Guardian ‘proper’, and not CIF, does lay into the BBC at times whilst still retaining its lefty credentials (much like the Miliband brothers ) Fortuitously rather than … Continue reading
“The power of the television networks does not lie in their economic power but in their ability to manipulate opinion. The degree of concentration in television is an attack on democracy. It gives them enormous power to extort.” A more dishonest appraisal of Europe would be hard to find in an astonishingly partisan piece about a European Referendum on Today with Evan Davis interviewing Peter Kellner…as Davis tells us ‘from the … Continue reading
Normally that small but emotive phrase is used to honour and remember those who have either been prepared to sacrifice their lives or indeed have made that final sacrifice in order that the rest of us can live lives safe from tyranny, poverty and corruption. Today I use it in another sense…Lest we forget just who lead us to the barren future that awaits us, that sacrificed all our futures and … Continue reading
The latest strategy from the pro-Euro lobby has been put into operation…. BBC: If the Eurozone creates a banking union we’re going to be isolated and frozen out aren’t we, without influence? Expert: Yes, we’re going to be hugely disadvantaged as Frankfurt or Berlin crushes the British financial industry and we are on the outside looking in as the new European empire led by Germany takes on the might of … Continue reading
Well, it’s Friday – thank God- and time for an Open Thread to see us off into the weekend. I’m off to the Open – the Irish Open that is! – so over to you. What has been annoying you about BBC coverage….?
You would need a heart of stone not to laugh at the BBC’s slavish spin on the latest attempt by “EU Leaders” to try and salvage their crumbling “project”. Yes, it looks like Mr Personality Von Rompuy and the gang have saved the day after another tense summit “running right the right through the night” – as an open mouthed reporter tells us. If you read the BBC report, you … Continue reading
Well then, back to the fray. I tentatively turned on BBC Radio 4’s Today this morning but thought I had accidentally tuned in to Radio North Korea, such was the scale of invective against British Banks and indeed the evil concept of “Investment”. It turns out Bob Diamond, head of Barclays, is the most evil man in the world. (Oh, and it was nice to hear an “independent” financial expert … Continue reading
