Jeremy Corbyn "flossing"

Jeremy Corbyn showing even less sense of rhythm than Theresa May did the other week. I wonder if Have I Got News For You will show the video and ridicule Jeremy Corbyn as they did Theresa May? Somehow I think not.

The BBC protecting Jeremy Corbyn as usual

This BBC report hidden away on the BBC's Technology pages starts thus:

'Facebook has uncovered and removed dozens of pages, accounts and groups linked to Iran that the firm says coordinated "inauthentic behaviour", targeting people in the US and UK.

The affected posts focused on divisive topics such as race relations, opposition to President Donald Trump and immigration, it said.'

Not a mention of Jeremy Corbyn, yet elsewhere on the web we can read that:

'Facebook has deleted a number of Iranian accounts posing as Britons that spread pro Jeremy Corbyn posts.

The accounts formed part of a wider “cluster” of accounts posing as grassroots US or UK activists to post about politically divisive topics like racism, opposition to the government and immigration, the company said on Friday.
...

It is the second batch of Iranian linked accounts to be purged from the platform this year. In August, Facebook removed hundreds of pages falsely posing as news organisations. Facebook users in the US, UK, Latin America and the Middle East were targeted by Iran state operation which used a network of fake news sites and fake accounts to promote political narratives with Iranian interests.

The accounts shared anti-Saudi, anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian themes as well as support for Pro Iran US policies like the US/Iran nuclear deal.'

So why are the BBC deliberately not mentioning the pro-Jeremy Corbyn and anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian themes? I think we know the reasons and the BBC disgust me.

PMQs: Theresa May v Jeremy Corbyn

The BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-parliaments-43783921 soto voce that:

'Jeremy Corbyn asks about the destruction of the landing cards of "a generation of Commonwealth citizens". This was carried out by the Home Office in 2010, when Theresa May was home secretary.

The prime minister says "the decision was taken in 2009 under a Labour government".'

Oh dear, if true that does destroy the Labour/BBC attack line. 

Jeremy Corbyn in probably worst high-five ever

Similarly to my last post, if this had been a Conservative politician making such a fool of themselves then this would be repeated again and again on the BBC's various News and satirical programmes but as this was the Labour Party leader, that 'nice' Jeremy Corbyn, not a word. 

The BBC's bias disgusts me. 

Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour Party and anti-semitism

That Jeremy Corbyn has a problem with Israel has been clear for years, that he had no problem calling virulent anti-Semites 'friends' likewise, but that he was himself freely associated with anti-Smites was less clear - until now.

The recent revelations that he was a member of five Facebook groups where anti-Semites posted nasty anti-Jew comments should be headline news but the BBC are still minimising their reporting of this story, for two reasons: first because they want a Labour government as soon as possible (partly to end Brexit) and secondly because the BBC itself indulges anti-Semites by regularly vilifying Israel and by indulging the Muslims and anti-Semites who hate Jews.

There's a line in Ian Fleming's Goldfinger where Auric Goldfinger says of James Bond's habit of appearing in his vicinity "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action." Jeremy Corbyn has now been found to be a member of five Facebook groups where anti-Semitic sentiments have been freely expressed. It seems that Jeremy Corbyn joined these groups of his own free will and was a member of some for years. Guido Fawkes here and here has the detail. So is it time to conclude that Jeremy Corbyn is an enemy of Jews?

We keep being told that Jeremy Corbyn is a man of principle and a kindly old chap too. It seems that the truth is at variance with those claims.

When is a loan not a loan?

When is a loan not a loan?

The answer, when it's a loan made to Jeremy Corbyn.

Name of donor: Momentum Campaign (Services) Ltd
Address of donor: Walkden House, 10 Melton Street, London NW1 2EJ
Amount of donation or nature and value if donation in kind: interest free, unsecured loan of £50,000 towards my campaign for leadership of the Labour Party. This loan is for an indefinite period.

My definition of a loan would be an amount of money borrowed from a bank (or elsewhere), that has to be repaid, usually with an extra amount or money paid as a charge (interest) for borrowing.

This 'loan' to Jeremy Corbyn however is interest free and for an indefinite period, isn't that a donation?

I wonder if the BBC would be interested in pursuing this matter.  I'd say that they would be about as likely to investigate this as they were about the Labour Party's Co-op bank overdraft facility. Remember that for the BBC nothing must be allowed to get in the way of a Labour Party win at the next general election.


Donor record from UK Parliament publications

The BBC have '10 charts that show why the NHS is in trouble'

The BBC have '10 charts that show why the NHS is in trouble', can you guess what word you won't find in the 10 charts? Yes, immigration...

The BBC do report that:

'4. The UK's population is ageing

The ageing population is certainly a major factor - and it's one that all health systems in the world are struggling with. Medical advances have meant that people are living longer. When the NHS was created, life expectancy was 13 years shorter than it is now.'

But immigration is not a factor apparently, which seems odd to me.

Mind you I was slightly shocked to see the BBC report these two facts:

 Don't expect any BBC interviewers to raise these facts with their friends from the Labour Party though.

The BBC hiding inconvenient facts from the British public

The BBC are headlining the news that:

'John Worboys, thought to be one of the UK's most prolific rapists, is to be freed from jail.

The black-cab driver is believed to have carried out more than 100 rapes and sexual assaults on women in London between 2002 and 2008.

The 60-year-old gave his victims drug-laced Champagne before attacking them in the back of his cab.

In 2009, he was convicted at Croydon Crown Court of 19 offences and ordered to serve at least eight years in jail.

The following year police said a number of women had come forward since he was found guilty, and that his alleged victims now numbered more than 100.'

What the BBC don't find the space to report is that:

'A huge scandal is breaking over how the inexplicable decision has been made to release serial rapist John Worboys from prison. Worboys was convicted of one rape, five sexual assaults and 12 charges of drugging women, before 75 further women came forward with complaints against him. The Director of Public Prosecutions decided that because Worboys had been given a life sentence, he should not be prosecuted for the further cases. If he had been, there is no way he would be being released from prison. The DPP at the time? Keir Starmer… Huge questions to answer here…'

Thanks to Guido Fawkes for that information.

Now why would the BBC not be reporting the involvement, or rather otherwise, of Keir Starmer? If it had been a now senior Conservative politician who had been the then DPP, then the BBC would be headlining this fact and asking awkward and probing questions. However as it is a senior Labour politician, the BBC will say nothing. The BBC is little more than the propaganda arm of the Labour Party, they disgust me. 

When a piece of economic news is worth a place on the BBC's news front page and when it isn't

Last month this BBC piece about a fall in UK retail sales was deemed worthy of a place on the BBC news front page.

Today a piece about UK government borrowing being at its lowest for 10 years is not deemed newsworthy enough for that and so one has to go to the business home page in order to find it.

Bad economic news under a Conservative government = Front page news.

Good economic news under a Conservative government = Not front page news.

It's hard to see why this is the case, other than becasue the BBC is little better than the Labour Party's propaganda arm and is institutionally biased against the Conservative party.


A look at the comments to this piece shows that I am not alone in spotting this discrepancy in coverage:

The fact that the BBC deliberately choses to hide this article away from front page or even UK page reaffirms my position that the BBC is biased trash!

Comrade Corbyn won't like that!

Which explains why it is buried in 'The Business Section'

We all have to understand that space on the BBC front page is limited and has to make way for far more important journalism like:

“BBC sorry for gay conversion tweet”

“Solange tells “magazine don’t touch my hair””

“Oxbridge even posher than we thought”

BBC, why is this NEWS item tucked away in the business section but a statement (not news worthy) from a fraudulent failed left-wing politician takes pride of place on the news home screen, It that what you call balanced reporting?

Why isn't this headline news for the bbc.

Mowe to the point I wonder how long it will be before the BBC pull this HYS 

Labour's Student Debt defence is not very convincing

The Standard reports that:

'However, Mr Corbyn’s aides stressed that he had never promised to scrap the student tuition fee debt mountain.

A source close to the Labour leader stressed: “Imran was mistaken. That was not our policy.”'

I presume that these Labour Party aides can point to their correcting Imran Hussain before the elction. No? Thought not!

BBC running with this story? No, how surprising!

Did the labour Party promise to wipe out student debt

The BBC seem happy at the moment to let Labour Party spokespersons state that the Labour party did not promise to end student debt.

Well here is the Labour Party Shadow Justice Minister Imran Hussain speaking in a campaign video during the election:

“Just this morning Jeremy Corbyn has announced that the tuition fees will be abolished straight away from September if there’s a Labour government, and that we will bring back immediately EMA and also that every existing student will have all their debt wiped off. That’s fantastic news, isn’t it guys?”

Was Imran Hussein lying then? If so, will the Labour party be disciplining him for misleading the electorate? Or was he telling the truth by stating the Labour Party position at the time, a position designed to garner as many student votes as possible? I don't see what other option there might be.

Thanks to Guido Fawkes for the spot, he's got more examples of such

Labour, student debt and the BBC

The BBC are reporting with a straight face that:

'Jeremy Corbyn has insisted he did not promise to write off all student debt while appealing to young voters during the general election.

During the campaign, the Labour leader said he would "deal with" the issue of graduates burdened with debt since tuition fees rose to £9,000.

He told the BBC he had never promised to abolish all debt as Labour "were unaware of the size of it at the time".'

Let's turn back the clock to 16 May 2017, there was a piece  bySean Coughlan, the BBC's Education Correspondent, entitled 'All or nothing for Labour on tuition fees'. Here's how it started:

'Scrapping tuition fees in England is the biggest and most expensive proposal in Labour's £25bn worth of pledges for education.

Instead of fees rising to £9,250 per year in the autumn, Jeremy Corbyn is proposing a complete handbrake turn in saying that university tuition should not cost students anything.

It's a bolder step than Labour's previous leader, who two years ago opted for a halfway house of cutting fees to £6,000 - and then was accused of pleasing no-one.

This is Labour going for an all-or-nothing approach - asserting free education as a fundamental principle - and creating the starkest choice in university policy for two decades.

It's a direct appeal to younger voters - with surveys suggesting that students are more likely to vote Labour.

It makes the pitch that no-one should be deterred from university because of the cost or fear of debt.

Labour's big move on fees represents a complete of direction. Previously in government, Labour raised fees and in opposition proposed a modest reduction.

But they are now proposing to bulldoze the apparatus of fees, loans and repayments.'

 If this was not what Jeremy Corbyn was proposing then presumably the Labour Party protested vigorously to the BBC at the time about the BBC's misrepresentation of Labour Party policy. Can anybody provide evidence of such protests?

If there were no such protests was that because the Labour Party were happy to have their policy so misrepresented or because that was their policy?

Either way, the policy had its desired effect as an unexpectedly large turnout among students helped the Labour Party win seats such as Canterbury, which it took for the first time in 100 years, and increase its majority in cities such as Cambridge, Bristol and Leeds. Job done BBC and the Labour Party?

I wonder if the idiots who claimed that Jeremy Corbyn was a breath of fresh air with his honest attitude to politics still think that is the case?

That definitely unbiased BBC at work again

We are often told by the BBC that the BBC is totally unbiased and to suggest otherwise is a vile calumny.

The trouble is that time after time sites such as mine, Biased BBC, Media Watch and Is The BBC Biased provide examples of that BBC bias.

One example that caught my eye today was published by Craig at Is The BBC Biased. It's a couple of tweets from the BBC's incoming head of religious programming, Fatima Salaria, as spotted by DB. Here's the one more relevant to the UK:

I'd like to know how a BBC head of department who retweets a description of a (then) senior Conservative politician as 'the worst of them all' , an 'Odious cretin of a man' and says that '#GoveMUSTgo' can in any way be described as politically unbiased.

I'd raise the question with the BBC but I really can't be bothered wasting my time complaining to the BBC only to receive brush-off after brush-off.

A Conservative Party with  balls would tackle (pun intended) the BBC over their anti-Conservative Party bias but this iteration of the Conservative Party is no more brave than any previous one.

Stoke Central’s Muslim voters warned they will go to hell if they do not vote Labour in anti-Ukip text

The Sun reports that:

'Stoke Central’s Muslim voters warned they will go to hell if they do not vote Labour in anti-Ukip text

...

One message said failure to back Labour’s Gareth Snell would see “anti-Islam” Ukip win. It ranted: “Will you be able to answer for this in the Grave and on the Final Day??? ‘I helped the Enemies of Islam because…’”

You can see the actual messages in full  in the Sun article. Somehow I doubt that the BBC will report this news in any way.

Labour Called For Migrant Dental Checks per Guido Fawkes

Guido Fawkes http://order-order.com/2016/10/19/labour-called-migrant-dental-checks/ has a great find:

'The last Labour government advocated the same migrant dental checks that have caused so much outrage among the Twitterati today.

Back in 2007 the then immigration minister Liam Byrne said that dental checks had to be considered to prevent abuse of the system:

"If it is true that a dental x-ray is able to establish within a more precise range an individuals' age than any other form of determination then I think we have really got to look very hard at that evidence. We cannot have adults in the children's system. Adults in the children's system, I believe, pose a serious threat to our obligation to protect children effectively."'

A great find by Miles Goslett....

Any comment from the institutionally pro immigration and pro Labour Party BBC?

Jeremy Corbyn Condemned By Home Affairs Anti-Semitism Inquiry per Guido Fawkes

'Jeremy Corbyn has been strongly condemned by the Home Affairs Select Committee for failing to understand anti-Semitism and creating a"safe space" for racists in the Labour Party. The inquiry's damning findings are laid out in as severe language as you will ever see from a select committee:

"Despite his proud record on fighting racism, the Committee is not persuaded that Mr Corbyn fully appreciates the distinct nature of contemporary antisemitism, and the fact that it is perfectly possible for an 'anti-racist campaigner' to express antisemitic views. His lack of consistent leadership on this issue has created what some have referred to as a 'safe space' for those with vile attitudes towards Jewish people, exacerbated by the Party's demonstrable incompetence at dealing with members accused of antisemitism."'

Fairly obvious really but very damning, somehow I doubt that the institutionally anti Israel BBC will bother to report this report. The BBC have done more to stir up anti Semitic sentiment in the UK than almost anyone.

Virgin challenges Jeremy Corbyn train footage per BBC News

The BBC reluctantly report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37167700 that their blessed Jeremy Corbyn might have told a porkie. 

'Virgin Trains has questioned footage showing Jeremy Corbyn sitting on the floor of a "ram-packed" service.

In a film shown on The Guardian, the Labour leader said he was experiencing a problem "many passengers face every day" on the London to Newcastle train.

But Virgin said CCTV showed Mr Corbyn and his team walking past available seating before starting filming.It says the crew helped him to a carriage where seats were available and he sat for the rest of his journey.'

I wonder if the BBC's friends at The Guardian will report Virgin's remarks?

Jeremy Corbyn faces new questions from MPs about antisemitism per The Guardian

The Guardian reports that Jeremy Corbyn is likely to be recalled to give further evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee following complaints about the accuracy of some of his testimony. 

'One of several complaints is understood to relate to comments Corbyn made about one of his constituents, Paul Eisen. Corbyn told the committee that he had not attended any events involving Eisen after he heard that he was a Holocaust denier, but MPs want to question him further having received what they say is evidence to the contrary.

One Labour MP said: "I was shocked by the answers he gave the committee and I'm not surprised they want to speak to him again. He attended Paul Eisen's events years after everyone knew about his Holocaust denial."'

Jeremy Corbyn linked to antisemites, I'm shocked.

That the BBC is not reporting this story yet is even more shocking!

The one hundred and seventeenth weekly No Shit Sherlock award

'The Campaign Against Antisemitism has warned that British Jews will continue to "worry" about their future in Britain, following Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's appearance yesterday in front of a Parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism.' 

More here at Breitbart but not on the BBC where protecting the Labour Party from criticism is more important than Jews.


'British Jews will continue to "worry" about their future in Britain, following Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's appearance yesterday in front of a Parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism.'  No shit, Sherlock

US election: Clinton says Trump tweet 'anti-Semitic' per BBC News

This BBC report perfectly illustrates the double standards of the BBC.

They report a claim of antisemitism by Hillary Clinton that seems to be based on very little. However when it comes to their allies in the British Labour Party they turn a blind eye to all sorts of antisemitic language and behaviour.

I'd say this was odd but it's not, it's part of the BBC's bias and campaigning.
