A good point re immigration

'Here's a point which both sides in the Brexit debate seem to have completely missed.This past year there has been a record level of uncontrollable migration which has topped 1/3 of a million people. 

Most of them are from Bulgaria, and Romania, do not have jobs and will be entitled to access our benefits, housing, NHS education, and other services.

No one ever seems to have the figures for how much this is costing the UK. If each person takes just £1000 which is extremely low then the total cost of £3.3 billion pa ! 

If, as is more likely they are taking £10K pa each then the total cost is £33 billion per anum !And that's just one years migration! 

If every years migration numbers were put together then this lot must be costing the UK well in excess of a trillion pa!

This is clearly unsustainable but add in the extra social housing which need to be built, and the cost is even higher !Someone urgently needs to address these figure in their calculations me thinks !'

Labour Reinstate Race Row Corbynista per Guido Fawkes

'Jackie Walker is the senior Momentum organiser who was suspended from the Labour Party for writing that "Jews" were the "chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade" and asking "what debt do we owe the Jews?". She's just been let back in – a Labour spokesman says:"Following the outcome of an investigation, Jacqueline Walker is no longer suspended and remains a member of the party."'

Some news re deaths in Gaza that you won't find on the institutionally anti Israel BBC

'Amnesty International said Thursday Palestinian rocket fire during the 2014 summer war in Gaza had killed more civilians in the Gaza Strip than in Israel.

Such deadly attacks on civilians on both sides constituted "a war crime," it said.

The damning report urged armed Palestinian groups to end attacks on civilians in Israel and to protect those in the Gaza Strip from the effects of such attacks.'

Did I and everyone else just miss this in 2013? John Reid lays blame for Labour's uncontrolled immigration at Gordon Browns feet

"The Treasury insisted on having a free flow of labour because they thought it brought down the cost of labour." - Per John Reid

Think about that and remember it the next time some lefty fool tells you that immigration hasn't reduced wages.

Five questions for REMAIN campaigners including David Cameron

1. How can you possibly control EU immigration into this country?

2. The Living Wage is an excellent policy, but how will you stop it being a big pull factor for uncontrolled EU migration, given that it is far higher than minimum wages in other EU countries?

3. How will you prevent the European Court from interfering further in immigration, asylum, human rights, and all kinds of matters which have nothing to do with the so-called Single Market?

4. Why did you give up the UK veto on further moves towards a fiscal and political union?

5. How can you stop us from being dragged in, and from being made to pay?

But Morocco is different, Morocco is safe

Every so often one or other of my Jewish friends goes for a long weekend to Marrakesh. When I raise an eyebrow they say something along the lines of "Morocco is safe for Jews, it's different from Algeria, Tunisia etc."

In future I'll point them to this article

'Demonstrators in Casablanca, Morocco have marched calling for the murder of Jews. A video captured by MEMRI shows demonstrators dressed as orthodox Jews being paraded through the streets at gunpoint and children being called on to murder Jews.'

That evil blockade of Gaza

'... the Rafah crossing will be opened on Wednesday and Thursday for a few people with humanitarian needs to travel from Gaza...

It has been 85 days since the Rafah crossing last opened. In February, 3,561 people crossed in both directions, the only time it was open in 2016.'

That is incredible, this evil blockade of Gaza must be ended. No wonder the protests about the blockade are so loud.

There's one small problem with the above, the actual story is this:

'... the Rafah crossing will be opened on Wednesday and Thursday for a few people with humanitarian needs to travel from Gaza to Egypt.

It has been 85 days since the Rafah crossing last opened. In February, 3,561 people crossed in both directions, the only time it was open in 2016.

By contrast, there are some 7,000 crossings between Israel and Gaza every week.'

Not quite what you'll learn from the institutionally anti Israel BBC.

'It's Like a War Zone': TV Crew Forced to Flee Migrant Youths

However there's one paragraph that set me thinking:

'In 2013 the area became famous worldwide when riots that lasted for nine days saw 150 cars an other vehicles set on fire, and a total of $9.5 million of damages. The riots began after a 69-year-old resident of the suburb wielded a large knife in public and was fatally shot by police. '

I consider I'm pretty well up on the news but I'd never heard of Rusby before, have you? Did the institutionally pro Islamic immigration BBC report the rioting?

Israel according to an Arab journalist

'At the end of my trip, I had spent five days between Jerusalem (al-Quds), Tel Aviv, and Haifa. I had visited official state, national, social, and educational institutions and heard from Jewish, Arab, Druze, and Bedouin segments of Israeli. After my experience there, I can now say that in my eyes, Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East, and is a country open and accepting of religious and ethnic minorities. I heard the call to prayer from mosques in various cities – a religious expression that is banned in Europe. I saw Christians with crosses on their chests who had no fear of exposing their identities, a marked contrast to some neighboring states. I saw Baha'i gardens and memorials the like of which exist nowhere else in the world.

Through these experiences, I saw a recently formed state that has become a democratic institution rivaling the oldest democracies in the world. Despite the youth of the new Israeli state, I saw, without exaggeration, a bright flame in a pitch-black region. I realized that without a doubt, the secret to Israeli's existence in spite of all the dangers and controversy that surround it is the democracy and freedom of Israeli society, a society composed of so many different yet coexisting segments and components.

Britain today

There's an article in today's Times newspaper (page 9) that tells of a pioneering technique in IVF.

It's an interesting story but also interesting is that the new father is an Italian chemist and the mother a Polish cleaner. I know this isn't an NHS innovation but...

Interesting priorities on show

This Telegraph article about Jeremy Corbyn deciding not to call for Turkey to join the EU is fascinating for this part:

'Figures within Labour are understood to have been furious at what has been described as a "malicious, naive and incendiary" decision by Mr Corbyn to endorse Turkish accession to the EU, fearing it would damage the campaign to remain in the European Union.'

No worries about the future of the UK or the truth being told, just damaging the REMAIN campaign.

Logic fail of the day

I'll repeat that:
'... "Uncle Tom" is as needlessly abusive as "self hating Jew" don't use this terms. Vote @SadiqKhan'

So Meirion Jones thinks that using the term "Uncle Tom" is "needlessly abusive" but that we should vote for the man who used that term... That seems logical, well for a Labour supporter I suppose it may be.

Welcome to 21st century Britain

This Telegraph article is really rather scary:

'Women should not be allowed to go on long journeys without a male chaperone a British Muslim group has advised followers.

Justine Greening, the International Development Secretary and equalities minister condemned the advice from Blackburn Muslim Association as "disgraceful" and said such views had "no place" in modern Britain.

Instructions from the association's "Department of Theology" insist that it is "not permissible" for a woman to go more than 48 miles – deemed to be the equivalent of three days walk - without her husband or a close male relative.

It also stipulates that men must grow beards and advises women to cover their faces.

The rulings are contained in a question and answer section of the group's site which offers offer "solutions and answers" to social, religious and financial matters from Sharia teaching, accompanied by the catchphrase: "Allah knows best."'

There's more in the article and more of this to come all over the UK as the country descends into dhimmitude.

What is anti-Semitism? A quiz for Ken Livingstone

Absolute genius and something that lays bare the hypocrisy of some members of the Labour Party

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2016/04/29/what-is-anti-semitism-a-quiz-for-ken-livingstone/

Last day of campaigning ahead of elections across UK per BBC News

There's a fascinating bit at the end of this BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36195498

'Labour candidate Sadiq Khan urged Londoners to choose "hope over fear" and played down suggestions he would be affected by the party's recent troubles, saying: "You won't see Jeremy Corbyn's name or Ken Livingstone's name" on the ballot paper.

BBC Newsnight's political editor Nick Watt says Mr Khan plans to keep Mr Corbyn away from his victory celebrations should he prevail and the two men would not be seen together for several days.'

Several days, that'll show people that Sadiq Khan and the man he nominated for Labour Party leader are really far apart...

Note nothing about the 'uncle Toms' comment by Sadiq Khan. The BBC just have to keep that quiet for one more day...

Godwin's Law of internet arguments - maybe Ken Livingstone should take note

How to get the result you want from an enquiry

The BBC seem terribly impressed that 'Jeremy Corbyn is to hold an independent inquiry into anti-Semitism and other forms of racism in the Labour Party.'

The BBC report that 'The inquiry's vice-chairman will be Professor David Feldman, director of the Pears Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism.'

That sounds positive, he must know his stuff.

Unfortunately for Jeremy Corbyn and the BBC some people actually do know their stuff, the Jewish Chronicle for one:

'The man helping to lead Labour’s inquiry into antisemitism is a named supporter of a group which has dismissed allegations of Jew-hatred in the party as “baseless and disingenuous”.

Professor David Feldman, director of the Pears Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism, was named by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as vice-chairman of the inquiry - led by Shami Chakrabarti, former head of campaign group Liberty - which will look into claims of antisemitism among the party members.

Prof Feldman is a signatory to Independent Jewish Voices (IJV), a group of Jewish academics who are critical of British Jewish communal institutions.

On Sunday, IJV released a statement which expressed concern “at the proliferation in recent weeks of sweeping allegations of pervasive antisemitism within the Labour Party.”

It added: “Some of these allegations against individuals are, in our view, baseless and disingenuous; in other cases, ill-chosen language has been employed.”

IJV continued: “We are equally concerned, however, by the way in which such accusations are deployed politically – whether by the press, the Conservative Party, opponents of Corbyn’s leadership within Labour, or by those seeking to counter criticism of the actions of the Israeli government. The current climate is quickly coming to resemble a witch-hunt, in which statements and associations, some going back years, are being put under the microscope.”

IJV went on to express “dismay” that “anti-Arab racism or Islamophobia” were not receiving the same attention.'

So would it be fair to say that the independent enquiry's vice chairman may have some preconceived ideas about Israel and antisemitism? I wonder if that's why he was picked?

I think that answers my question...

Do take a look through the Twitter conversation and see what you think.

My apologies but @truthradical RANDOMLY capitalises words, I think HE thinks it makes him LOOK clever and decisive...

It is odd how so many of these anti-Israel campaigners can't answer that simple question.

Labour has secretly suspended 50 members for anti-Semitic and racist comments

The Telegraph reports:

 

'Labour has secretly suspended 50 of its members over anti-Semitic and racist comments as officials struggle to cope with the crisis engulfing  the party. 

Senior sources reveal that Labour's compliance unit has been swamped by the influx of hard-left supporters following Jeremy Corbyn's election.

The  suspensions that have been made public so far are said to be just the tip of the iceberg.'

I would wait for the BBC to report this, but it's not going to happen as there are local elections on Thursday and the Labour Party needs the support of its friends at the BBC

Labour’s Bank Holiday Timeline per Guido Fawkes - What connects these three?

Labour councillor Ilyas Aziz
Labour councillor Salim Mulla 

Labour councillor Shah Hussain

More details here at Guido Fawkes and links, but obviously not on the pro Labour BBC.

Now if only I could work out what factors link these three... 

Labour Party members - yes

Labour Party councillors - yes

But I think there's another common factor that I just can't put my finger on... Something that might cause them to harbour antisemitic views...

Three Labour Party councillors suspended today, so far, but there's clearly no problem with antisemitism in the Labour Party

Guido Fawkes Guidi Fawkes has now reported on three Labour Party councillors being suspended today. 

If one UKIP councillor is suspended for making a racist remark against Muslims then the BBC will happily cast aspersions that UKIP is institutionally racist. 

Three Labour Party councillors suspended for making what most would see as antisemitic remarks and the BBC are desperately trying to hold the line that these are isolated incidents and that the Labour Party doesn't have a antisemitism problem.

There are local elections on Thursday the BBC will keep this matter as quiet as possible until after those elections, or longer.

MarrShow: Diane Abbott car crash interview on antisemitism (01May16)

https://youtu.be/Z4Sw5Er2Xp4

Watch the interview, listen to the excuses of Diane Abbott, ask yourself if you believe her. 

But then ask yourself where Andrew Marr gets the right to just accept that the State of Israel is responsible for the hatred against Jews. Iranians hang homosexuals, Islam must not be blamed. Saudi Arabian authorities let female students burn to death in a school, Islam must not be blamed. Bangladeshis and Pakistanis live as slaves across the Gulf, Islam must not be blamed. BUT Pallywood and the anti Semitic scum of the West exaggerate, lie and lie and lie again about Israel and that's why antisemitism exists?

PETER HITCHENS: Everyone Howls At Batty Ken - But They Wouldn't Dare Tackle Racist Muslims

'As for all those people who suddenly got so exercised about Judophobia, and wildly worked up about Ken Livingstone's batty views on Zionism (standard issue on the far Left for decades), I have some questions for them.

Are you prepared to put the same energy into challenging and denouncing Judophobia among the Palestinians you support abroad, and the British Muslims whose votes you seek here?

Because, if not, I might suspect that you are just using the issue to try to win back control of the Labour Party, which you lost last summer in a fair fight.' 

Good points from Peter Hitchens here
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/05/01/peter-hitchens-everyone-howls-batty-ken-wouldnt-dare-tackle-racist-muslims/  I don't expect the BBC to allow such views any airtime

Nick Cohen nails the antisemitism that has long existed in the Labour Party

'Show me a leftwing or Islamist antisemite and, once again, he will carry a suitcase full of prejudices, which have nothing to do with Jews, but somehow have everything to do with Jews.

The Labour party does not have a "problem with antisemitism" it can isolate and treat, like a patient asking a doctor for a course of antibiotics. The party and much of the wider liberal-left have a chronic condition.'

This is another must read article http://www.theguardian.com/politics/commentisfree/2016/apr/30/labour-antisemitism-ken-livingstone-george-galloway 

Don't expect Nick Cohen to be invited onto the BBC to discuss this article...

The new regulations on mobile phone roaming wouldn't disappear after Brexit.

The roaming caps will apply when using your UK phone abroad in any European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) country – this comprises all 28 EU member states, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (but not Switzerland). A full list of EU and EEA member states can be found at Gov.uk.'

My plea to the left: treat Jews the same way you’d treat any other minority per Jonathan Freedland in The Guardian

'On the left, black people are usually allowed to define what's racism; women can define sexism; Muslims are trusted to define Islamophobia. But when Jews call out something as antisemitic, leftist non-Jews feel curiously entitled to tell Jews they're wrong, that they are exaggerating or lying or using it as a decoy tactic – and to then treat them to a long lecture on what anti-Jewish racism really is.

The left would call it misogynist "mansplaining" if a man talked that way to a woman. They'd be mortified if they were caught doing that to LGBT people or Muslims. But to Jews, they feel no such restraint.'

Jonathan Freedland gets very close to the truth about the left's double standards on discrimination when applied to Jews here in The Guardian and I recommend that you read the whole article, there's an extract at the top of this piece. 

However there's a few important wrinkles that he has missed and I'll try and post these in a piece later this long weekend.

Press TV-Comment with Jeremy Corbyn

Jeremy Corbyn and his 'good friend' George Galloway... 

Jeremy Corbyn has an odd selection of friends: George Galloway, Hamas, Hezbollah etc. etc. 

Another Labour Party member with issues

'The leader of Brent Council has apologised for sharing a Facebook post which compared Israel with Islamic State.

Labour politician Muhammed Butt shared a clip which appears to show a Palestinian girl in a skirmish with an Israeli soldier, which at the bottom claimed "Israel is a terrorist state like ISIS."

When contacted by Jewish News, Muhammed Butt, who is also the Lead for Equalities at London Councils, said: "I apologise for sharing this on social media. I do not agree with these views and as Leader of Brent Council I have championed diversity, tolerance and respect for all faith communities, and will continue to do so."'

More here at the Jewish News but not on the BBC. 

I do wonder why this Labour Party politician shared something with which he didn't share the view with.

Rupa Huq defends Naz Shah

What's interesting is the way that the defence that she did this before she was an MP, albeit less than a year before is seen as an acceptable defence by Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party. I don't think they'd be so relaxed about a Conservative or UKIP MP saying something even 10 or 20 years ago when at university, but that's the hypocrisy you expect from the left.

Oddly the BBC interviewer didn't pick up Rupa Shah on her remark about just clicking on like or share. Naz Shah typed "the Jews are rallying", that seems to be the phrase that the BBC and the Labour Party are keenest to pretend was never said. So I will remind them of it at every opportunity.

Jeremy Bowen's written a book on The Six Day War

It seems that Jeremy Bowen wrote a book on the Six Day War. Reviews are as you'd expect, here's a few:

'1.0 out of 5 starsJeremy's prejudices, masquerading as history, surrounded by a false halo of "respected BBC ME correspondent".

ByMr. Roger Edenon 30 July 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

If you want the facts read history Professor Oren's book. Jeremy wasn't there, yet is able to quote Israeli Generals verbatim in the heat of battle. Of course if you believe, as does Jeremy, that Nasser consistent threatening to wipe out Israel since 1948, (apparently, according to Nasser himself, humiliating forced retreat from a position of great strength in 1948), his blockade of Eilat,(Suez was always closed to Israeli ships), his amassing multiple armies on Israel's Border, his joint military agreements with Syria and Jordan, a very nasty 6 months of radio propaganda towards Israel and provocation of sniping and artillery into Israel by all three countries, was nothing more than empty rhetoric. (Probably the Israelis didn't see it that way, you wonder why?). Therefore, in Jeremy's view, this was not a preemptive strike by Israel but a War of Aggression, then this book is for you, for those who want real facts, read Oren.

 

 

If you hate Israel you will love this book

Byukreaderon 15 July 2015

Format: Paperback

If you hate Israel you will love this book. It makes no pretence of being history, right from the first page. Why Simon and Shuster agreed to publish this re-writing of history is a mystery. Did they even read it, or did they assume it was clean because the author is a BBC correspondent? It tells a fantastic story of a mighty Israel attacking its pathetic Arab neighbours to conquer their territory, and weaves little bits of fact with very imaginative fiction. If you had no knowledge of the truth, it would be easy to believe this propagandist book is factual and, as I said, if you are looking for a justification to support your anti-Zionism this is it. I assume most of those who have reviewed the book favourably here are simply people who hate Israel and therefore love the book because it justifies their hatred, or part of the Muslim supremacist campaign against Israel who have not even read it.

 

 

Typical BBC pro-Palestinian propaganda

Byschlockhorroron 13 January 2009

Format: Paperback

Jeremy Bowen isn't known as al-Bowen around the 'net for nothing. This disgraceful book is simply an extended piece of apologia for the Arab cause. To give just two examples, Bowen dismisses Nasser's bloodthirsty threats against Israel as just Arab rhetoric. This you know how, Jeremy? By the fact that they weren't executed?

He also fulminates against Israel's bombing of an anti-aircraft position in a civilian area and hints darkly that this was a war crime. Here he has his case exactly wrong - the war crime, if any, consists in siting the gun battery there in the first place. If someone does so then the other side is quite entitled to attack it. Bowen hates Israel however and so this side of things never gets an airing.

Finally, you will struggle to find any mention of Islamofascist terrorism in this book. Bowen thinks Hamas and their ilk are freedom-fighting, peace loving victims of Israeli oppression.

A book so malignant it verges on being evil.

 

 

 

Profoundly tendentious

ByCharles Soperon 5 June 2007

Format: Paperback

Bowen is convinced the Arabs weren't out to destroy Israel, that the Israelis knew they would wipe the floor with their Arab antagonists. This hardly explains the Israeli chief of staff's (Rabin) nervous breakdown, or the then PM's (Ben Gurion) white hot fury with him for what he perceived as an existential danger.

Oren's book is far more extensively sourced from Arab, Hebrew, Russian documents as well as English one - and unlike Bowen evidently strives for precision and balance. The comparison between the two is highly illuminating.

 

 

Rife with anti-israel bias

ByJonathan Turneron 10 January 2007

Format: Paperback

The book is superficial, derivative and rife with standard anti-Israel prejudice, namely, the portrayal of Israel as the source of the Middle-East conflict and the whitewashing of Arab-Palestinian rejection of Israel's legitimacy and decades of relentless violence against the Jewish state.

 

 

Problems With Credibility

ByA customeron 22 May 2004

Format: Hardcover

After Michael Oren's excellent history of the same war ("Six Days of War"), this book turned out to be a disappointment. Like so much of the reporting from the region (Bowen was a BBC journalist), it is unscholarly and superficial. One can't help suspecting that Bowen's main motivation might be something other than just an interest in history. Oren's book was highly praised so Bowen, by choosing an almost identical title, may have seen a chance to make a quick buck. But mostly he probably wanted to give his own version of events -- he is famous for his strong anti-Israel bias and his tendentious "reporting" for the BBC. Don't bother with this book; it's not a serious history. For now, Oren's book remains the definitive work on this war.'

 

I could carry on with the one star reviews. 

 

I could also post some favourable reviews to make this a fair and balanced article on Jeremy Bowen's book but if he's not unbiased about Israel why should I be unbiased about him? Also I'm not a BBC employee

I do wonder what the Balen Report said about Jeremy Bowen, don't you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jeremy Bowen at it again

The BBC's Jeremy Bowen blocked me from following his Tweets so I was surprised to see the above one on my Twitter Feed.

'Killed', no context, it looks as though Jeremy Bowen hasn't changed whilst I was banned.


There was a part 2 tweet...

Being totally independent Jeremy Bowen then Tweeted the Israeli claims that the Palestinians reject... Didn't he? Oh he didn't, how odd.

I'd complain to the BBC but since the release of the Balen Report we know there's little point.

Maybe Jeremy Bowen could chat it all out with Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell and Ken Livingstone - they should have a lot of common ground re Israel.

Jeremy Corbyn's weasel words on Naz Shah

Guido Fawkes has Jeremy Corbyn's weasel words http://order-order.com/2016/04/27/corbyn-statement-on-naz-shah/

' CORBYN STATEMENT ON NAZ SHAH

"What Naz Shah did was offensive and unacceptable. I have spoken to her and made this clear.

"These are historic social media posts made before she was a Member of Parliament.

"Naz has issued a fulsome apology. She does not hold these views and accepts she was completely wrong to have made these posts.

"The Labour Party is implacably opposed to anti-Semitism and all forms of racism."'

My comment related to 'fulsome', really? 

Also if she doesn't hold these views then why did she express them? Any chance of an answer to that?

Labour's disgusting antisemitism per The Telegraph

This Telegraph article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2016/04/27/labours-disgusting-anti-semitism/ deserved wide readership. Here is the beginning of the piece:

'The word is overused, but the details of Naz Shah's Facebook postings are shocking. That anyone, in Britain in 2014, should gleefully spread material discussing the (presumably forcible) transportation of Jews from Israel is troubling enough. That the person concerned was only months later elected to the House of Commons is truly disturbing. Even today, her actions exposed to the public, the best Ms Shah can offer is that the repellent material concerned does not reflect her current view, a weasel-worded statement that all but confirms the she endorsed a quintessentially anti-Semitic position at the time.

Perhaps this story raises questions about Bradford, where Ms Shah won her seat for Labour in a bruising fight with George Galloway – himself an unpleasant demagogue who is no stranger to distasteful comments on the Middle East. What do her constituents make of the views expressed in her fateful post? Perhaps there are issues to explore relating to the British Pakistani community of which Ms Shah is a prominent member. Do all the people who live in this country accept that anti-Semitism is as unacceptable as any other racism?

But the most pressing questions are those facing Labour under Jeremy Corbyn, for this is just the latest in a string of cases to emerge under his leadership. Mr Corbyn himself is friendly towards hateful groups seeking Israel's destruction. Is it any wonder then, that his party contains and – perhaps even attracts – anti-Semites? So far, Ms Shah has lost her job as an aide to John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, but remains a Labour member. That speaks volumes about Mr Corbyn's disgustingly inadequate response to anti-Semitism in his party. '

That the Labour Party has a problem with antisemitism is obvious. That the BBC is running cover for them is too.

9/11 and Saudi Arabia

This Independent piece http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/finding-discussion-and-narrative-regarding-certain-sensitive-narrative-matters-saudi-arabia-911-11-a6999091.html is rather interesting...

'Twenty-eight secret pages of a report locked away in a room in the Capitol in Washington lie in the centre of a crisis between America and Saudi Arabia which threatens to have severe and widespread repercussions.

The US Congress is considering legislation which would enable the families of victims of the September 11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia, presented by the West as its most valuable ally in the Middle East, over alleged links with al-Qaeda terrorists who carried out the attacks on New York and Washington.'

Malia Bouatti on Channel 4 News neatly evading answering whether she has a problem with Israel's existence and oddly being able to condemn Israeli actions but not that of the Palestinians.

Look carefully, is that a smile playing across her lips as she squeezes another point past the Channel 4 interviewer? 

"It's not for me to condem Palestinian violence", a good interviewer wold ask her why is was then for her to condem Israeli violence but this is Channel 4 so that wasn't going to happen.

US election 2016 and the BBC's use of language is revealing again

The start of this BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-36147183 uses similar language to a report from last week. 

'Donald Trump has won presidential primaries in all five US states that voted on Tuesday, while Hillary Clinton triumphed in four out of five.'

Donald Trump wins all five primaries but Hillary Clinton triumphs... It's about mood setting and narrative establishing. It's about pushing the Hillary Clinton campaign. It's about BBC bias.

Naz Shah, who's she?

Whilst Naz Shah's anti-Israel comments are all over the Internet, the BBC seem to be totally ignoring the story. I can find absolutely nothing about Naz Shah on the BBC website, other than pieces from a while ago that boost her...

So the BBC are happy to highlight alleged smears against Naz Shah whilst ignoring her support for comments that argued the “solution” to the Israel-Palestine conflict is to “relocate Israel into the United States”, claiming the “transportation costs” of deporting Israelis would be “less than 3 years of defense spending”. Do I smell hypocrisy and a desperation at the BBC to keep signs of possible anti-Semitism in the Labour Party under wraps with the local elections less than two weeks away?

Naz Shah is still a Labour MP, she's still on a Home Affairs Committee that is investigating anti-semitism but I read that she's resigned from her role as the Shadow Chancellor's PPS. I wonder when or if the BBC will cover this news story.

If a Conservative MP had been discovered making derogatory comments about Muslims or another (BBC) favoured minority group the story would be a headline topic on the BBC but as this is a Labour MP, a Muslim woman Labour MP in fact, and she was only agreeing with ethnically cleansing Israel then there's just no interest in reporting the story.

The BBC disgust me...


UPDATE:
The BBC have posted a piece about Naz Shah   and it's the mealy mouthed one that you would expect. The BBC report doesn't include the referred to graphic or any of the accompanying tweets, Guido Fawkes managed to show these graphics, maybe the BBC want to keep the article as dry as possible and of course to hide it away on the politics page not on the main news page.

This line from the BBC report is of interest:

'In a statement, Ms Shah said: "This post from two years ago was made before I was an MP, does not reflect my views and I apologise for any offence it has caused."'

So did it reflect her views then? What made her change her views between then and now? Other than being exposed by Guido Fawkes of course.


As an aside John McDonnell, the man for whom Naz Shah was a PPS, said about people who made such comments:

Out, out, out. If people express these views, full stop they’re out.. People might be able to reform their views and the rest of it. On this? I can’t see it. I’m not having it. People might say ‘I’ve changed my views’ – well, do something in another organisation.’

 Did he mean it? Does Jeremy Corbyn stand by such zero tolerance attitudes towards expressions of anti-Semitism or is he happy to lead a party where holding such sentiments is tolerated?

The Obamamessiah turns people off!

Sky News report http://news.sky.com/story/1684878/sky-poll-obamas-eu-warning-counterproductive something that the Obamamessiah worshippers at the BBC just won't be able to understand. 

'Barack Obama's intervention to encourage Britons to vote to stay in the EU appears to have been counterproductive, a Sky Data Snap Poll reveals.

Prior to his visit to the UK, the US President's support for Britain's EU membership appeared to be a positive for the Remain campaign.

More people were attracted to vote Remain as a result of his support than were put off (25% to 17%, with 57% saying he made no difference).

However, Mr Obama's hard-hitting intervention, in which he suggested that Britain would be sent "to the back of the queue" in negotiating trade deals with the US, appears to have turned him from an asset to a drag.

Almost one in three (29%) now say they are less likely to vote Remain as a result of the US President's support for Britain's EU membership, up 12 percentage points since last Thursday – and now a higher proportion than the 22% who say Mr Obama makes them more likely to vote Remain.

And he appears to have both put off sympathetic younger people and incurred the wrath of sceptical older people.'

Dear oh dear... But at the BBC it's Obama worship and pro EU sentiment all the way.

Lord Sugar on Sadiq Khan

'A South Sudanese high school student faces possible deportation from Canada after lying about his age.

Nicola's real age was discovered when he applied for a US visa.

A fingerprint scan found he had given 1986 as his year of birth in a previous application.'

Sadiq Khan shared platform with five Islamic extremists per London Evening Standard

It doesn't matter how much the BBC cover-up for Sadiq Khan, the truth keeps creeping out. Of course by running cover for Sadiq Khan the BBC are doing their best to ensure that he is elected London Mayor in two weeks time. 

Here's something that the pro Labour Party BBC won't be reporting...

'Labour's candidate for Mayor of London took part with an activist who has threatened "fire throughout the world", a supporter of terror group Hamas, a preacher who backs an Islamic state and a Muslim leader accused of advocating attacks on the Royal Navy if it stopped arms being smuggled into Gaza.

Invitations said "all welcome" but made clear that women would be segregated at the door, stating: "Ladies' entrance on Lessingham Avenue next to the snooker club."

Also on the platform was a controversial Surrey vicar and conspiracy theorist who has claimed Israel could have been responsible for the terrorist attack on New York's Twin Towers.

Mr Khan was billed on the list of speakers as Labour's parliamentary candidate for Tooting, despite his insistence that he attended "as a human rights lawyer".'

David Mitchell with a few home truths

Melanie Phillips on Sadiq Khan

'... Khan has been sustained, indulged and encouraged by the Labour party. They winked at his questionable attitudes because he belongs to what is, for many of them, an untouchable victim group. If he becomes Mayor, it will be the Labour party beyond Corbyn that is to blame.'

More here http://www.thejc.com/comment-and-debate/columnists/157158/khan-mayor-beware

The BBC have played a clever game with their coverage of this London mayoral election. They've not given it as much prominence as they have to previous contests. This has enabled them to minimise the amount of reporting of criticism of their preferred candidate Sadiq Khan.

A health warning that should be given

I've noted before the terms that EU pensions are paid on, that they can be forfeit if the recipient doesn't support the EU.

Surely in the run up to the EU referendum whenever someone who is (or will be)  receiving a pension from the EU (Peter Mandelson, Neil Kinnock, Nick Clegg etc.) are asked for an opinion on the EU, in the interests of openness it should be made clear that they are (or will be) reciving an EU pension and that this pension may be forfeited if they say anything detrimental about the EU.

Indeed one could argue that in the current climate of financial transparency it would not be too onerous to mention the size of the respective pensions.

How could the UK cope outside of the EU?

How could the UK cope outside of the EU is a question sometimes posed by supporters of the REMAIN campaign. 

It's a good question, after all:

The UK is the world's 5th largest economy

The UK is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council

The UK is a member of the G7

The UK is a founder member of NATO and one of the biggest contributors to NATO

The UK is a member of the the Commonwealth of Nations

It's a mystery how the UK would cope if it left the EU.

An interesting choice of words by the definitely unbiased BBC re the New York primaries

As we all know the BBC are completely unbiased in their reporting. So what an odd choice of words in this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-36088637 on the New York primaries results. 

'Donald Trump has won the Republican presidential primary in New York while Hillary Clinton has triumphed in the Democratic race.

...

With almost 95% of the results in, Mr Trump is leading with just over 60% of the vote while Mrs Clinton has just under 58%.'

Donald Trump 'won' whilst Hillary Clinton 'triumphed'. An interesting choice of words for an unbiased news reporting organisation. It can't be based upon vote share in their respective contests as 

Donald Trump won more of the share of the Republican vote than Hillary Clinton did of the Democrat vote.

'Air France has resumed flights to Iran after ignoring pleas gay crew who feared they could be executed.

A petition launched last week complained that it was 'inconceivable' gay cabin staff should have to travel to a country where homosexuality is illegal.

But on Sunday, the airline recommenced flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Tehran - the first since 2008 - having taken no action over the protest.

A week earlier female employees of the company were told they would be allowed to opt out of working on the resumed flights so that they can avoid having to wear a headscarf.

Interesting that Islam outranks homosexuality but not feminism.

'Britain is "obliged" to accept European Union laws and judgments, according to an official report slipped out by ministers ahead of the formal start of the referendum campaign.

The 96-page paper, which was published without fanfare, was described by Brexit campaigners as the "Government report No.10 does not want you to read".

The document highlights the fact that Britain has to adopt EU law and accept the rulings of the European Court of Justice.'

Jeremy Corbyn accused of 'rewriting history' after deleting hundreds of articles and speeches from his website per Telegraph

'Jeremy Corbyn has been accused of "rewriting history" after deleting hundreds of outspoken articles and speeches from his website including a number of pieces critical of the EU.

One of the articles sets out the Labour leader's true feelings on the European Union in a damning attack about the influence the bloc has over the British Government.

Mr Corbyn has wiped his entire archive of writing from his personal blog meaning that none of the articles can be accessed.'

This Telegraph article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/Jeremy_Corbyn/12184405/Jeremy-Corbyn-accused-of-rewriting-history-after-deleting-hundreds-of-outspoken-articles-and-speeches-from-his-website.html is interesting for two reasons. First because doesn't Jeremy Corbyn realise that his old articles do still exist in cyberspace but secondly because it shows his mindset, remind me who in history tried to erase facts and even people from photographs?

Also maybe someone should tell Jeremy Corbyn that George Orwell's 1984 is not an instruction manual.

The BBC are minimising coverage of the London mayoral election thus hoping their favoured candidate, the Labour Party one  gets elected.

The BBC are shameless in their bias and bile

Shock horror an unmarried heterosexual man has sex with an unmarried heterosexual woman. It's nearly as much of a scandal as that a man makes a modest investment and pays his tax correctly. 

This isn't about reporting news, this is about the BBC promoting the Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson strategy of continual mud-slinging in the hope of discrediting and undermining the democratically elected Conservative government.

The BBC appear to have concluded that the David Cameron lead Conservative government are not actually going to do anything to curb them and so they have decided to use their free hand, impartiality be damned.

How reassuring, not (part 2)

This Blaze article http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/04/11/german-intelligence-chief-makes-surprising-admission-analysts-didnt-expect-terrorists-to-sneak-into-europe-with-migrants/ has a second, maybe even scarier revelation:

'The intelligence chief made another surprising admission – that some 70 percent of refugees entering Germany did not arrive with a valid passport and have been registered based solely on the information they provided.

"I am concerned that we (the BfV) and our partner agencies may, in fact, have information about dangerous individuals saved in our databases. However, we might fail to notice that they are here because they enter with false identities," he said.'

Are we collectively insane?

How reassuring, not (part 1)

This Blaze article http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/04/11/german-intelligence-chief-makes-surprising-admission-analysts-didnt-expect-terrorists-to-sneak-into-europe-with-migrants/ contains two not very reassuring comments.  The first is the headline revelation:

'The head of Germany's domestic intelligence agency said in an interview published Sunday that security officials had misjudged the Islamic State group's ambition to sneak terrorists into Germany under the guise of asylum seekers.

In an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Hans-Georg Maassen, head of Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or BfV, admitted there had been a "misjudgment" regarding the Islamist group's strategy.'

Why would a European intelligence agency think that ISIS wouldn't try to sneak terrorists into Europe amongst the 'refugees' aka economic migrants aka invaders? After all it's not as though UKIP politicians and others hadn't been warning of this.
