Palestinians Beat Israeli Farmer to Death

The BBC faithfully and eagerly report every made up news story of Palestinian farmers having their olive trees destroyed by Israeli settlers, even when there's no corroborating evidence. However when a Jewish Israeli is killed by Palestinians, they will have no interest in reporting the news.
It's almost as though the BBC is institutionally anti Israel.

The real reason Greece has a massive tax-evasion problem

UK Business Insider has a great insight that the BBC will never me mention:

'On average, self-employed Greeks spend 82% of their monthly reported income servicing debt. To put this number in perspective, the standard practice in consumer finance (in the United States as well as Greece) is to never lend to borrowers such that loan payments are greater than 30% of monthly income. And that is the upper limit ... A number of banks in southern Europe told us point blank that they have adaptation formulas to adjust clients' reported income to the bank's best estimate of true income, and furthermore, that these adjustments are specific to occupations ... Take the examples of lawyers, doctors, financial services, and accountants. In all of these occupations, the self-employed are paying over 100% of their reported income flows to debt servicing on consumer loans You read that right: More than 100% of the self-reported income of Greece's professional classes is going toward paying off consumer debts. Not, we suspect, because they have massive unbearable repayments to make, but because they're colossally underreporting their income.'

Why so desperate to reach the UK?

This BBC report says that the 'migrant' are desperate to get to the UK but doesn't really ask why. Only Keith Vaz is quoted re this angle:
'Keith Vaz, Labour chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Committee, said the migrant situation was the "biggest crisis" facing Europe.

He said migrants were trying to reach the UK because "it's the country they think they can work in illegally".'
No mention of our excessively generous benefits system?

Sickening new ISIS video shows caged prisoners lowered into a swimming pool and drowned, shot with an RPG and blown up with explosive-filled 'necklaces' per Daily Mail Online

But even more revealing of the mind set of these vile individuals is this:
'Jihadis fighting for the Islamic State have held a Koran memorizing competition in which the top prizes include a Yazidi sex slave.

The photograph of an ISIS advert, believed to come from the northern Syrian state of Hasakah recently emerged on social media.

As well as sex slaves, the advert promises cash rewards for fourth and fifth prize.

The competition is set to be held in several ISIS mosques in Syria, including the Osama bin Laden mosque.

The seven day competition is set to finish on 27 June and is being held to celebrate the Muslim festival of Ramadan.

The advert addresses ISIS militants in the Syria, congratulating the jihadis in their fight and wishing them a blessed Ramadan.'

Wrong Then, Wrong Now

Wrong about the UK joining the Euro then and wrong about the UK not leaving the EU now.




Protesters hurl abuse at Russell Brand - NSFW foul language warning


What's more interesting than people abusing Russell Brand for being insufficiently left wing is that an anti austerity, all in this together protest march, has a VIP area. Maybe the likes of Russell Brand don't want to mix with plebs... 

Anyone know whether Rufus Hound was in the VIP area, with the masses or driving a bus?

Fatal car crash on crowd in Austrian city of Graz per BBC News

'At least three people are dead and dozens injured after a man drove his car into crowds in a square in Austria's second largest city of Graz.

The driver has been arrested, though police say there were no indications the attack was motivated by terrorism.

Part of the city was sealed off, with large numbers of ambulances and helicopters sent to the scene.

The square in Graz was hosting an event related to the Austrian Formula 1 Grand Prix, which is being held nearby.The regional governor confirmed that three people had died and 34 were injured, some seriously.'
The BBC are at pains to report that the police rule out terrorism but tell us nothing about the alleged perpetrator.

Meanwhile The Independent gives us some more information:
'A seven-year-old boy is reportedly among the three people killed in Austria by a man who ploughed his car into crowds in the country's second-largest city and then reportedly started stabbing people.
A witness told the Wiener Zeitungnewspaper that dead bodies were left lying face down in the road after the vehicle sped through streets near the the historical Herrengasse in Graz.The killing only stopped when the driver parked his battered car outside a police station.
...
The driver, identified by police as a 26-year-old Austrian man of Bosnian heritage, has been arrested. He works as a professional driver and is married with two children.

Police are not currently investigating terrorism as a motive and the suspect is believed to be suffering from mental illness.'
Now The Independent is as politically correct as the BBC so I'm not surprised that both are taking the same angle over the police's words. I don't know anything about this attack or the alleged perpetrator but Bosnia is a country where the largest demographic religion is Islam. Muslims in Israel use vehicles as weapons to kill Jewish civilians and only last year Islamic State Islamic State issued a call to Muslims in the West:
"If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet … smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car or business. Or destroy his crops."
'... or run him over with a car' 

But I am sure the Austrian Police are quite correct, terrorism is not indicated here, not even as a possibility that should be investigated.

Martin Schultz: 'Britain belongs to the EU' per ITV News

It's always revealing when an EU dignitary lets the truth slip out:
'The President of the European Parliament has told ITV News that Britain should stay in the European Union - as it belongs to it.

Martin Schultz is in the UK to meet with the Prime Minister to discuss his proposals tomorrow.
Schultz said he was looking forward to hearing what Mr Cameron has to say but refused to use the term "UK relationship" with the EU.

"You cannot have a relationship with yourself. The EU is and Britain are one thing. The UK belongs to the EU."'
The UK belongs to the EU! There's the campaign slogan for the YES campaign. 

More here on ITV but not on the institutionally pro EU BBC.

BBC One - Question Time, 18/06/2015

According to the BBC the guests on tonight's Question Time are:
'... former leader of the SNP Alex Salmond MP, Conservative former shadow home secretary David Davis MP, Labour's shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint MP, editor of the Financial Times Lionel Barber and columnist Melanie Phillips.'
Two thoughts, first that it's nice to see two right of centre guests on the panel for a change. In fact maybe a majority with Lionel Barber as well. But as ever with the anti Conservative party BBC, there are reasons: Lionel Barber is the editor of the very pro the UK staying in the EU Financial Times, David Davis is very civil liberties and Melanie Phillips is forthright on Islamic extremism. All three are there to allow Tory splits (whether on the EU or Human Rights legislation) to be the story or for a right winger to be attacked (and therefore the Conservatives) for being insufficiently multi cultural sensitive. 

The second thought that strikes me is why is a SNP spokesman on the panel for an English set programme? The SNP are a Scottish separatist party, surely a representative of the third biggest party in the UK by votes received in the recent general election would be more representative of the national mood. 

I rarely, if ever, watch Question Time these days. Labour Party propaganda being so easy to find elsewhere on the BBC at an earlier hour.

No 10 Emails Self Destruct In Three Months - the BBC's reaction to reading this Sky News story

Imagine your a BBC newsoid and you read this article on Sky News here's what I'd imagine your thoughts would be...

'Emails sent from Downing Street computers self-destruct within three months in a system, it has been disclosed.'
Hold on, this could be big, get me Liberty on the phone.
'Under a system, which makes it more difficult for the public to get answers from Freedom of Information requests, messages vanish unless people actively save them.'
Can we get Shami Chakrabarti onto the lunch time news? Get a taxi to her immediately.
'It means the information contained in the emails is not readily accessible to the public if they ask for details about the subject matter the messages contain.'
This could be huge, can we also clear the decks for a Newsnight special investigation tonight? Kirsty could look aghast...
'The system was set up in 2004, under the Labour government, shortly before the Freedom of Information Act came into force.'
As you were, this story is of no use in furthering the BBC's anti Conservative agenda so best ignore it, the proles don't need to worry themselves about this one. Cancel that taxi!


Cynical, moi?

Ignorance or deliberate misreporting of UKIP policy?

From Stuff magazine's review of the LG G4 phone
'With this phone you'll just be able to snag a new one off eBay, assuming UKIP doesn't get voted in and ban trade from all non-UK companies, that is.'
Ridiculous!

Does Israel not count?

This BBC article about the latest British Muslim terrorist includes this 'fact':

Abdul Waheed Majid, from Crawley in West Sussex, was the first British man to carry out a suicide bombing, attacking the city of Aleppo in Syria in February 2014

Except that's not the case, so I have complained to the BBC thus:

Complaint description:
Your piece http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-33126132 contains this 'Abdul Waheed Majid, from Crawley in West Sussex, was the first British man to carry out a suicide bombing, attacking the city of Aleppo in Syria in February 2014' This is factually incorrect, On 30th April 2003 a British citizen Asif Muhammad Hanif blew himself up at the entrance to a café killing three civilians and wounding 50 others. Why have you excised this attack from your memory? The attack took place in Tel Aviv, Israel, is that a factor?'
