The BBC hiding any good economic news

Manufacturing order books were close to a 30 year high in the three months to December, according to the latest monthly CBI Industrial Trends Survey.

In detail:

  • 28% of manufacturers reported total order books to be above normal, at the +17% level last seen in August 1988
  • 28% of firms said their export order books were above normal, at +16% which is well above the long-run average of -18%
  • 42% of businesses said the volume of output over the past three months was up and 11% said it was down, giving a rounded balance of +30% above the long-run average of +4%
  • 29% of companies expect average selling prices to increase in the coming three months, with 6% predicting a decline, giving a balance of +23%
In addition the CBI’s Employment Trends Survey of 299 firms employing around 1 million people found that 51% of firms across the UK will grow their workforce in the year ahead, with confidence highest amongst small and mid-sized firms (58%). The majority (52%) of firms aim to raise pay for their employees in line with or above inflation in the coming year.


So I looked on the BBC website for their coverage of this news. Nothing on the BBC news home page, nothing  on their business news home page


So I searched the BBC site for CBI Industrial Trends:


The top three pages returned aren't the most recent but rather they are the most negative pages returned. There are some positive returns but you have to page down for them. There is no page returned by the search for the current report, the latest being from April 2017.

Could the BBC really be trying to minimise coverage of good economic news, despite Brexit?

Or might it be that the BBC's search facility is just crap?

Kathy Gyngell reports Lady Thatcher's view of feminism

"When it was suggested they were going to have a Minister for Women, I said 'Oh really', are they going to have a minister for men? ….. If you are sure of your talents and abilities you don't expect to be treated differently at work because you are a woman. Most able women I know – women who climb to the top, whether it be in broadcasting, whether it be in business, whether it be as a woman editor – got there through merit and that is their strength, their ability. Don't try to give the impression we need special treatment. We don't."

Lady Thatcher talking sense on feminism and special treatment for women.

Have you heard a word about this on the Trump hating BBC? Of course not, the BBC aren't interested in the news, just in pushing their prejudices upon us.

News from Australia that you won't learn about from the BBC - Australia: Gangs of African youths go on a violent stealing rampage at the beach

'Approximately 200 black African youths went on a rampage, attacking and robbing locals and tourists at Melbourne's St Kilda beach early on Thursday morning.'

More here http://the-eyeontheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/australia-gangs-of-african-youths-go.html but obviously not on the institutionally pro unlimited immigration BBC.

"Why the Left Loves Islam EXPLAINED"

https://youtu.be/gAcu0Rsfi6I

A must watch video if you want to understand the left's obsession with supporting Islam.

Remember that a society that prefers equality to freedom will have neither.

If you want to know where Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is leading us, remember the Kulaks.

Muslims Sue Butlin's for Health and Safety Scarf Ban on Fairground Ride

'However, Mr. Nasser's lawyer, Attiq Malik, of Liberty Law, said health and safety concerns were not a satisfactory explanation and it was wrong to stop the Muslim girl going on the ride even if it was dangerous.

He said: "It is of great concern that we may have a situation where whole families are having their holidays ruined and unable to participate in leisure activities because of their cultural or religious dress."Whether this is a deliberate act to discriminate against people, or an unfortunate consequence of health and safety policies, it is unsatisfactory and unacceptable."'

Islamic State Threatens Berlin, London, New York With 'Holiday' Attacks

'Islamic State terrorists have threatened a second Berlin Christmas attack, exactly one year after the first, as security service search for suspect connected to the terror group.

The Islamic extremist group released online images and a propaganda video which also depicted London, New York, and Vienna, promising attacks "soon on your holidays… very soon," Kronen Zeitung reports.

The image of Berlin shows an armed terrorist by the Brandenburg Gate with the words: "Berlin will burn."There were also images of a bloody knife and Westminster Cathedral in London – a city hit by multiple deadly Islamic State-linked attacks this year.

Another edited image shows New York ablaze alongside the words: "We meet for Christmas in New York … soon". Just days ago, an Islamic radical set a bomb off in the U.S. city.'

Concerning news? News relevant to people living in these cities. But not news that the BBC want those forced to pay their licence fee to know about. Don't scare the plebs.

Thankfully Breitbart has the story...

Do you ever get the feeling that you've been had?

When the BBC report positively on progress towards Brexit and say that: 'Mrs May was applauded by other leaders at dinner in Brussels on Thursday night' then I know that the fix is in.

Brexit means Brexit, Prime Minister May told us. I think we all know now what I postulated then, we're not going to be allowed to properly Brexit. The UK deep state, the EU and the BBC will see to that.

'Russia-Brexit Collusion' Narrative Collapses After UK Authorities Reveal Moscow-Allied Org Spent Just 73p on Ads. Not a word about this on the institutionally pro EU BBC

'Russia-Brexit Collusion' Narrative Collapses After UK Authorities Reveal Moscow-Allied Org Spent Just 73p on Ads

The Russia conspiracy narrative pushed by EU loyalists has been dealt a heavy blow in Britain, after social media giant Facebook revealed that an alleged Kremlin "troll farm" spent just 73 pence on referendum ads.

The embarrassing reveal follows aninvestigation by the Electoral Commission, the supposedly independent elections regulator criticised as "unfit" by Leave campaigners for its links to the European Union and partisan political entities.

...

"We strongly support the [Electoral] Commission's efforts to regulate and enforce political campaign finance rules in the United Kingdom, and we take the Commission's request very seriously," Facebook wrote in a letter seen by theTelegraph.

"Further to your request, we have examined whether any of the identified Internet Research Agency (IRA) pages or account profiles funded advertisements to audiences in the United Kingdom during the regulated period for the EU Referendum.

"We have determined that these accounts associated with the IRA spent a small amount of money ($0.97) on advertisements that delivered to UK audiences during that time.advertisement

"This amount resulted in three advertisements (each of which were also targeted to US audiences and concerned immigration, not the EU referendum) delivering approximately 200 impressions to UK viewers over four days in May 2016. '

Three advertisements, costing £0.73 and delivering approximately 200 UK impressions. You'd think that an unbiased news reporting organisation would report this news, and you'd be right. That's why the BBC isn't reporting this news, they are institutionally pro EU and all but campaign for the UK's continued membership of the EU.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called a "liar" by heckler at Jewish Labour Movement Chanukah party per The Jewish Chronicle

News that you won't find reported on the BBC.

'Jeremy Corbyn was called a "liar" during his speech at the Jewish Labour Movement's Chanukah party tonight in which he said there was "zero tolerance" of antisemitism within the Labour Party.

Mr Corbyn told a crowded room at the party's headquarters in central London: "I'm here because I want the party to be strong in all areas, I want the Jewish Labour Movement to be absolutely part of and involved with the party at all levels."

Prior to Mr Corbyn's speech, a plea had been made for the all those in the room to treat each other in a comradely spirit, but at this point a female heckler responded with the words: "But you hate us".

During the Labour leader's speech, the same heckler shouted: "Corbyn, you're a liar", before reportedly leaving the room.'

Imagine that it was a leading Conservative politician who had been so heckled, headlines on the BBC. However as it's the leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn not a word.

Where people would get the idea that the Labour leader and elements of that party have a problem with anti semitic sentiment is beyond me. It's not as though Jeremy Corbyn calls the antisemitic terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah 'friends', appears on platforms with known antisemites and turns a blind eye to the anti semitic attitudes that many of his supporters espouse.

An independent news reporting agency would report fairly on such matters but the BBC is more like the Labour Party's propaganda arm than the unbiased news reporting service that it purports to be.

German Police Union Boss: Politicians Give Empty Words Against Antisemitic Incidents While Migrant Policies Make It Worse

'German police union head Rainer Wendt blasted German politicians in the wake of anti-Semitic protests over the weekend, saying that despite their condemnations of their migrant policies have made the problem of anti-Semitism worse.

The German police chief scorned politicians who condemned the anti-Semitic protests that occurred in Berlin over the weekend and said their words were not enough, Die Welt reports."The pithy statements of the politicians against anti-Semitism do not help us," Wendt said, adding that "the same politicians who continue this immigration and deportation drama by illegally allowing in more and more foreigners from the most anti-Semitic region of the world and not even deporting the offenders among them, then proclaim that they are doing everything against anti-Semitism.'

More here at Breitbart http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/12/12/german-police-union-boss-politicians-play-lip-service-antisemitism-migrant-policies-make-worse/  Nothing of the sort on the institutionally anti Israel and so indulgent of anti semitic attitudes BBC.

Now remind me what the conclusions of the Balen Report were.

Corbyn Launches Labour Muslim Group Headed By "Israel Has No Right to Exist" Activist - BBC don't report

'A Labour activist who tweeted "Israel has no right to exist" and suggested Jewish people are stingy is spearheading a new group for Muslims in Labour which Jeremy Corbyn helped launch last night.

John McDonnell, Dawn Butler, Andy Slaughter, Rupa Huq, Wes Streeting and Afzal Khan were also present at the launch of the Labour Muslim Network, hosted in parliament by Ali Milani, an NUS Vice President who was criticised for past anti-semitic comments.

In 2012, Milani posted a tweet suggesting Jewish people are stingy:"Nah u won't mate it will cost you a pound #jew". He also sent messages stating:"Israel has no right to exist."Israel is a land built on ethnic cleansing and colonialism. Oppression is something your people should know about."So lecturer asks the class today 'nobody in this room would ever want to go to war right?' My hand rises. 'Who?' Me: 'Israel'."'

Just the sort of sentiments that don't seem disquiet Jeremy 'friends' with Hamas and Hezbollah Corbyn or John kneecaping McDonnell or much of their Labour Party.

You can read more here at Guido Fawkes https://order-order.com/2017/12/12/corbyn-launches-labour-muslim-group-headed-israel-no-right-exist-activist/ but obviously not on the institutionally anti Israel BBC for whom a little Jew hatred is a small price to pay.

Fears grow across the Atlantic over Brexit fallout per BBC News who leave the clue as to motivation a little too high in the report

This BBC anti Brexit report purports to show the results of a report by the American Rand Corporation that is very negative on Brexit. The trouble is that the BBC left this line a little too high in their report:

'In Europe it has advised the UK government on policy issues such as mental health, as well as the European Parliament and the European Commission.'

I think that I'll take their report's conclusions with a large pinch of salt.

The tyranny of low expectations re the BBC and Saudi Arabia


The BBC report approvingly that 'Saudi Arabia to allow cinemas to reopen from early 2018'.  Included in that report is this:

'Saudi authorities also began sponsoring concerts this year.

US hip hop artist Nelly and Algerian singer Cheb Khaled will perform in the Red Sea city of Jeddah on Thursday, though the event is open to men only.'

A men only concert? Imagine the furore if this was a possibility in Israel or India. But as it's in the home of sexual (and other) apartheid, Saudi Arabia, the BBC pass no judgement.

The BBC's prejudices and priorities are as ever easy to spot.

New York attack: What do we know about Akayed Ullah? Per BBC News

One sentence in this BBC report http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42316699 struck me:

'... Ullah "did make statements but we're not going to talk about that right now"'

What statements did he make? Can I guess? Can you?

New York Port Authority attack: Man held after Manhattan blast per BBC News

'A man is being held after an attempted terror attack at New York City's main bus terminal, officials say."Terrorists won't win," Mayor Bill de Blasio said after a blast at the Port Authority terminal in Manhattan during the morning rush hour on Monday.

The suspect, named as Akayed Ullah, 27, was wounded when a "low-tech explosive device" strapped to his body blew up in an underpass, officials say.'

Obviously file under 'nothing to do with Islam'

Firebombing Jewish Children in Sweden as not reported by the BBC

'On Saturday, December 9, masked men threw firebombs at a synagogue in Gothenburg, Sweden. The attack took place shortly after 10:00 pm, at a time when about thirty children and teenagers (the Swedish word "ungdomar", used in media reports, suggests they were teens, but could be younger or both) were attending a party at the Jewish Center adjoining the main building. When the assault began, the guards rushed them into the cellar, and finally allowed them to go home at about 11:30 pm. (Guards, of course, are a fixture at European synagogues these days.) A mother of one of the girls at the party received a text message from her daughter saying that she was scared and that there was a smell of gasoline.

Yes, in Western Europe, in 2017, a group of young Jews stood huddled in a basement, helpless, amid the gasoline fumes from firebombs.'

More here https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11534/sweden-jews-firebombing but not on the BBC for whom Islamic hatred of is excusable.

Remember that in reality Islamists don't hate Jews because of Israel, rather they hate Israel because of the Jews.

Venezuela opposition banned from running in 2018 election

In case you wonder what would happen to democracy in the UK should Jeremy Corbyn become Prime Minister, here's the latest news from Venezuela.

'Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro, says the country's main opposition parties are banned from taking part in next year's presidential election.'

More here at the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-42304594 A responsible news reporting organisation would ask Jeremy Corbyn for his opinion on what's happening in the socialist nirvana of Venezuela but the BBC isn't an independent responsible news reporting organisation, instead it is rather more like the propaganda arm of the Labour Party.
