If this had been President Donald Trump then the US and UK media would be outraged. However as this was the BBC the general reaction was more 'meh'.

UK: Whites Scared, White-Owned Businesses Stoned in a Racially Divided Bradford 'Heading for Disaster'
'Areas of Bradford, England, are No Go Zones for certain ethnic groups and the city is "heading toward disaster," councillors have warned, citing attacks on a synagogue and white businesses in 'Asian' areas.
Bradford Council's Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee chairman Arshad Hussain slammed ethnic segregation and failed integration, and blamed political correctness for making the situation worse.Too many people are "scared to speak up in case they caused offence," he warned, adding there are "many areas of this city" where people were afraid to go depending on their ethnicity — i.e. No Go Zones.Another councillor, Vanda Greenwood, added that young women did not feel safe in parts of the town because of gangs of young 'Asian' men, the Telegraph and Argus reports.'

Corbyn troll calls for Labour MP to be hung from tree not that the BBC are reporting this
'Jeremy Corbyn was at the centre of a new row over social media trolls last night after one of his supporters called for a Labour MP to be 'hanged'.
Labour said it had launched an investigation into messages – unearthed by The Mail on Sunday – targeting Enfield North MP Joan Ryan, who said during the General Election that many Labour supporters had 'more confidence in Theresa May as Prime Minister' than in party leader Mr Corbyn.
Beverly Krell, a Labour member from Manchester, attached Ms Ryan's comment to a tweet headlined 'We support Jeremy Corbyn', with the remark: 'If anybody has a rope and a tree, I'm ready'.
She also accused Ms Ryan of 'dual allegiance' and 'treason' for her role as Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. In other posts, Mrs Krell threatened to kill 'Zionists' with an AK-47 assault rifle and dismissed the Holocaust as 'regurgitated'.'

THE BBC's OFFICIAL FESTIVE FIFTY BIAS TECHNIQUES...
Your Yuletide reading is here http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/guest-post-bbcs-official-festive-fifty_22.html
The 50 techniques of BBC bias listed. A much read for all, especially those who work for the BBC who can see how many of the 50 they are guilty of.
Princess Michael of Kent sorry for wearing 'racist' brooch per BBC News
'Blackamoor figures and sculptures are exotic figures which usually depict African men and were prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries.'
Why is that 'racist'?

No, Winston Churchill was not pro EU
A speech by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons on 11 May 1953:
"We are with Europe but not of it; we are linked but not compromised. We are associated but not absorbed. If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea."
Another example is the "we are with" I believe quoted by Sir Winston on the same day:
"Where do we stand? We are not members of the European Defence Community, nor do we intend to be merged in a Federal European system. We feel we have a special relation to both. This can be expressed by prepositions, by the preposition "with" but not "of" — we are with them, but not of them."
Please could the BBC remind remoaners who try to claim that Winston Churchill was pro the UK being in the EU that the facts show otherwise.
The BBC must ask itself this question about Alan Yentob, but it won't...
This article in The Spectator https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2017/12/the-bbc-must-ask-itself-this-question-about-alan-yentob/ reminds us of the Kids Company 'charity' and the role played in it by the BBC's big cheese Alan Yentob. Do read the whole article to remind yourself of the whole sordid affair.
There's one section that, if true, is so damming:
'As I have previously reported, Yentob also secretly lobbied the Labour Government in 2002 over a large unpaid Kids Company tax bill which was later mysteriously waived at public expense. The charity deducted £689,000 in employment taxes from staff in 2002 – but did not pass on the money to the taxman. In an email sent on September 18, 2002 from the address of Yentob's personal assistant at the BBC, and later leaked to me, Yentob said that he had been told by the Treasury that the correct procedure would be to write a letter to minister Dawn Primarolo 'explaining the situation and the context and she would refer the matter back to the Inland Revenue'. Yentob then added cryptically: 'I intend to do that tomorrow morning with a little bit of help from my friends…' Yentob also said in the message: '[Treasury minister] Paul Boateng and I have managed to miss each other on the telephone but his office has been extremely co-operative and concerned and a phone call is being set up for tomorrow morning.' A few months later, £589,957 was written off using taxpayers' money, with an additional £100,000 debt met by an unidentified donor.'
Oddly the BBC have done their best to minimise coverage of the whole Kids Company scandal, especially the part played in it by their senior chap Alan Yentob. One might almost think that the BBC were trying to protect Botney.
The current BBC report on the Melbourne attack avoids too many inconvenient facts for that to be other than deliberate obfuscation
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/42451576 avoids too many inconvenient facts for it to be accidental.
At least the BBC are finally reporting that there is several links to Islam - 'He had "attributed his actions to perceived mistreatment of Muslims", said a senior officer.' and 'The man... , is an Australian citizen of Afghan descent who arrived in Australia under a refugee programme.'
It's amusing that the police are saying that - 'At this stage there were "no known links to any political issues, or any links to extremist groups" but he added that "nothing should be ruled out".' I seem to recall the BBC desperately trying to rule out Islamic terrorism immediately after the incident.
The most interesting choice of words appears in the last paragraph:
'Police said a second man arrested at the scene was released and expected to be charged with possession of cannabis and a controlled weapon.The charges are not linked to the car attack.'
I've read elsewhere that the second man, was a passenger in the car, was filming during the incident and was in possession of a bag of knives. Why are the BBC not reporting that? Is it not true?
Coincidentally, could you please remind me, do Islamic terrorist attackers ever film these attacks as propaganda weapons? Also do Islamic terrorist car attacks ever also involve knife attacks after the car has come to a stop?
The BBC's eager cooperation in minimising coverage of this attack in Melbourne is dangerous and wrong. The public should know the truth about what's happening in their cities and why.
'Iconic' blue British passport to return after Brexit per BBC News
The institutionally pro EU BBC can't help itself in this report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42417553 on the UK returning to the traditional blue passport after Brexit.
The BBC just have to report that:
'But Labour MP Mary Creagh tweeted: "No-one under 45 will have owned a blue passport, and most will think they're not worth £50 billion and crashing the economy."'
A) Who cares what one bitter Labour remoaner has to say on the matter. B) Could someone please explain that however unwanted the £50 billion cost is, it's less than continued membership would cost. C) Brexit is about more than economics, it's about democracy and sovereignty. D) "crashing the economy", really? Look at the FTSE, the CBI latest figures etc.
'Labour Has A Massive Antisemitism Problem, It Isn't Going Away, And Only Action Will Tackle It'
This Huffington Post article http://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/labour-antisemitism_uk_5a3a6b66e4b0df0de8b0612f makes rather sad reading for any Jew who votes Labour.
'... Clear guidelines such as the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, adopted by the NEC in December 2016 as a bedrock for disciplinary procedures, remain hidden from sight, part of a problem that few in the Labour Party wish to admit to or own. Meanwhile, CLP committees across the country, ignorant of what the party standard is, bring the party into disrepute by selecting candidates like Luke Cresswell in Suffolk, Billy J Wells in Great Yarmouth and Nasreen Khan in Bradford, all highly questionable and in two cases forcing embarrassing candidacy withdrawals.
A public endorsement of the IHRA definition from Jeremy Corbyn would send a very forceful message that the Labour Party has a zero tolerance approach to antisemitism. It would also reassure Jewish members and voters about his own occasionally questionable position on this subject (he was recently heckled with 'you're a liar' and 'why do you hate us?' at a JLM event). So why doesn't he? Perhaps he feels it is too problematic for him to take a stand on this issue, and that he is too mired in the convictions of his 'Free Palestine' hinterland to ever be persuasive. Perhaps he feels the rule change at conference was enough and he wants to avoid further controversy. Perhaps he just does not want to. '
There's much more but you won't read much about this matter on the institutionally anti Israel and thus, at least borderline, anti-semitic BBC. Just as with the Labour Party, the BBC has allied itself with Islam as a means of bringing about social change in the UK and Jews are unfortunately collateral damage.

Khan Breaks Another Election Promise per Guido Fawkes
Seven broken promises of Mayor Sadiq Khan are listed by Guido Fawkes https://order-order.com/2017/12/21/khan-breaks-another-election-promise/
Don't expect to see such analysis from the BBC who won't criticise the Muslim Labour Mayor of London. This is the man who the BBC would all but collectively reach orgasm over if he could be positioned to become Prime Minister.
Melbourne crash: Driver arrested after hitting pedestrians per BBC News
The BBC are pleased to report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-42437315 thus:
'The crash happened on Flinders Street, a busy junction in the centre of the city. The man who deliberately drove a car into a crowd in Melbourne is a drug user with mental health issues but no known terrorism links, police say.
The Australian citizen of Afghan descent was taken into custody after a struggle at the scene of the incident.'
Another Muslim attacker of immigrant stock with 'mental health issues' and no 'known' links to terrorism? That's not to say that this wasn't a terrorist, just that he had no 'known terrorism links', but the BBC will desperately try to persuade us that this has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism because to admit otherwise would ruin their narrative.

Muslim migrants behind rise in antisemitism
'Antisemitism is on the rise, especially in countries that took in large numbers of migrants from Arab countries. At the outset of this month's Hannukah festival, two Syrians and a Palestinian firebombed a synagogue in Gothenburg, Sweden. A few days later a Jewish cemetry in Malmö was attacked. In Germany, the Israeli flag has been burned and Jewish pupils bullied by Arab schoolmates. Jewish elders offer advice on which districts it is risky to wear the kippa, the Jewish skullcap.'
More here at The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/muslim-migrants-behind-rise-in-antisemitism-rxdsjx2vt but obviously not on the institutionally anti Israel and pro Islam BBC.
Jerusalem UN vote: Trump threatens US aid recipients -per BBC News
'US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that back a United Nations resolution opposing the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Earlier this month, Mr Trump took that step amid international criticism.
"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us," he told reporters at the White House."Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care."
His comments come ahead of a UN General Assembly vote on a resolution opposing any recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.'
More here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-42431095
Quite right President Trump; countries are entitled to push their anti-semitic agendas, but they must realise that there may be consequences. Of course the BBC will scream about the unfairness of the USA reacting via the wallet but why shouldn't President Donald Trump use that weapon?
Rosie O'Donnell Vows to Give Jeff Flake, Susan Collins $2 Million Each if They Vote Against GOP Tax Cuts - according to Breitbart
If this Breitbart report http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2017/12/20/rosie-odonnell-vows-give-jeff-flake-susan-collins-2-million-vote-gop-tax-cuts/ is accurate then why isn't Rosie O'Donnell being charged with attempted bribery?
'... former comedienne Rosie O'Donnell is horrified at the idea of people being able to keep more of their own money. Using her verified Twitter account Tuesday night, the aging O'Donnell offered $2 million to both Susan Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) in exchange for a "no" vote on Tuesday night's tax cut vote (an act that isunquestionably illegal).'
It's fascinating how the left's figures are untouchable?
As you won't see reported on the institutionally pro EU BBC
Forbes says that after the Leave vote "predictions swirled that the British economy would collapse", yet "the economy as a whole has held up relatively well" and "Britain's business climate remains attractive. The UK ranks first for the first time in Forbes' 12th annual survey of the Best Countries for Business". We were fifth last year and have never come top before.
Any coverage on the BBC? Of course not, the BBC is institutionally pro EU.
Police Chief wants extremists to be locked in internment camps
From earlier this year - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4548870/Ex-Met-chief-calls-internment-camps-3-000-extremists.html
'Thousands of radical extremists must be locked up in new internment camps to protect Britain from the unprecedented terror threat it faces, a Muslim former police chief declares today.
Writing exclusively for The Mail on Sunday, Tarique Ghaffur warns there are too many extremists on the streets for police and MI5 officers to monitor.Mr Ghaffur, an Assistant Commissioner at Scotland Yard when the 7/7 bombings took place, proposes that special centres be set up to detain as many as 3,000 extremists, where they can be kept from launching attacks. They would also be made to go through a de-radicalisation programme.'
Only 3,000 extremists? Would a deradicalisation programme work?
Metropolitan Police review of rape cases evidence
The key paragraph in this BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42417553 is this one:
'Some see the problems as a direct result of a misplaced culture of "believing" the victim, where police don't look for or withhold contradictory evidence - but that's an assertion for the attorney general's inquiry to examine.'
The 'misplaced culture' that the likes of BBC Woman's Hour and others have been pushing for years?

The HMS Queen Elizabeth leak
'According to the Sun newspaper, HMS Queen Elizabeth has been taking on up to 200 litres of sea water every hour because of the fault.
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said the problem was "highly embarrassing" for the Royal Navy and just one of a number of snags still to be rectified.'
200 litres an hour, is that a lot? I've just turned on my kitchen tap, it filled a 1 litre jug in just under 10 seconds. That's a rate of 360 litres per hour, almost double the rate of the leak into the HMS Queen Elizabeth. This doesn't seem a lot of water.
I had a look on Amazon UK for bilge pumps, this is a link to a 12V bilge pump that claims to clear 1100 Gallons per hour (that's approximately 5,000 litres per hour). This bilge pump costs £13.49 with free delivery and is in stock. So a £13.49 bilge pump would clear the leak operating at 7.2% capacity. This leak really doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
Also surely the whole point of sea trials is to find issues and fix them. This leak seems like a small issue that has been identified and will be fixed but in the meantime will hardly affect the ship's ability to operate.
So did nobody at the BBC do the maths to see whether this was a serious problem, or did they just jump to report something that they hoped would embarrass the Conservative government and denigrate the Country?
