UNRWA school holds ceremony supporting stabbing Jews

Something that you definitely won't see reported on the institutionally anti Israel BBC.

'The pattern is clear. UNRWA employs anti-semites and terror supporters. Its schools teach hate. It shows no interest in solving the problem, only in covering them  up. The time has come to demand that UNRWA face consequences for supporting and encouraging its students to commit terror acts.'

That Hillary Clinton is still standing for the US Presidency and that the US media is not in uproar says more about the left-wing bias in that media than almost anything else.

Not true Barry Sheerman, not true

At PMQs today there was an interesting question from a Labour MP:

Mr Barry Sheerman (Huddersfield) (Lab/Co-op):

As the Prime Minister struggles with certain elements in his party over Europe, does he ever think back to an inspirational and visionary Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, who faced similar difficulties but stood up to the rebels in his own party and secured a yes vote for staying in Europe? Will he join me in celebrating the centenary of Harold Wilson’s birth next week? Across all parties we should celebrate that great, innovative Prime Minister.

Except that part about standing up to the rebels in his party isn't true. As The Telegraph reported just last year (my emphasis):

'The final lesson from 1975, particularly for Mr Cameron, relates to the wisdom of allowing ministers the freedom to differ. After the EEC vote, Wilson was able to bring back into the fold ministers such as Tony Benn and Michael Foot who had campaigned for 'No’, preventing a drain of talent from the government. Like Wilson, Mr Cameron also has a small majority and his Government includes Cabinet ministers who might well be inclined to take a different position from him. Allowing them to follow their consciences, will ensure that he too can walk away from the referendum result with his Government intact. To do otherwise would be catastrophic not only for the second Cameron Government, but also the Conservative Party more widely.'

Why did David Cameron not correct Barry Sheerman? Maybe because after the referendum he doesn't plan to bring BREXIT campaigners back into the fold.

Tony Blair biography reveals PM's conspiracy to silence immigration debate per Daily Mail Online

The Daily Mail reports something that we pretty much knew already but is still something that the BBC won't report. 

'Tony Blair presided over a silent conspiracy to change the face of Britain for ever with mass immigration, an explosive book reveals.

He ordered his Labour government never to discuss in public the supposed 'advantages' of the unprecedented influx.

But behind the scenes ministers were instructed to wave tens of thousands of asylum seekers into the UK under cover of their being 'economic migrants'.

Astonishingly, the minister Mr Blair put in charge of borders ruled against deporting failed claimants because it would be too 'emotional'.

Tony Blair presided over a silent conspiracy to change the face of Britain for ever with mass immigration, investigative journalist Tom Bower claims in his explosive new book
 

The main aim of allowing in millions of people was to make the country 'see the benefit of a multicultural society'. The Blair government did not see its job as being to 'control immigration'. 

The policy is revealed today in a Daily Mail serialisation of an authoritative biography of the former prime minister by Tom Bower, an internationally-acclaimed investigative journalist.'

"This Young Lady Perfectly Explains The EU Debate"

Well not perfectly but well enough to disgust Diane Abbott

EU membership: The true cost to Britain's economy – and the unrealistic assumptions you need to make the numbers net positive per City A.M.

A fascinating read with figures and analysis that you won't find on the pro EU BBC.

Do read the whole article, here's how it starts:

'EU membership: The true cost to Britain's economy – and the unrealistic assumptions you need to make the numbers net positive

Many people are surprised to find that, back in the early 1970s, all the studies undertaken before we joined the then EEC pointed to a negative economic impact. This was due to direct payments to Brussels, alongside the effect of the customs union (common external tariff), which raised prices above world levels, most notably in the case of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

So the reasons for joining weren't economic, although Britain was "the sick man of Europe" at the time, and there was a sense that the UK was joining a more dynamic club (how times change).

But the bottom line was that the economic impact would be negative.
 

Fast forward to the present day and what's the economic impact? In order to answer this question one needs to define what the EU is.

In economic terms, it is essentially three things. First, it is a bureaucracy with people and policies. Second, it is a customs union. And third, it is a single market. Add these together and they should give us a strong indication as to whether or not the economic impact of membership is positive or negative. So what do we know?'

Read the rest here and pass the article on to those who get there EU reporting from the hideously biased BBC.

Renowned British Historian Simon Schama agrees with me that Anti-Semitism Causes Anti-Zionism not the other way around

For years I have been arguing that many hate Israel because of the Jews, not Jews because of Israel.

It would seem that the eminent British historian Simon Schama has come to a similar conclusion.

'The antipathy displayed by many on the Left towards Israel is not an example of anti-Zionism morphing into anti-Semitism, but a sign that anti-Zionism is caused by anti-Semitism, the distinguished British historian Simon Schama argued in the Financial Times Friday.'

EU reforms 'not legally binding' - Michael Gove reports BBC News

The BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35646004 Michael Gove's claim and David Cameron's response but don't actually say who is correct. Wouldn't that be the correct thing for an unbiased news organisation? 

'David Cameron's EU reforms are not legally binding and could be overturned by European judges, Justice Secretary Michael Gove has told the BBC.

Mr Gove - one of five cabinet ministers campaigning for the UK to quit the EU - told the BBC the European Court of Justice was "not bound" by the PM's agreement until treaties are changed.

The PM has said the package is "already legally binding and irreversible".

It could only be overturned by all EU states including the UK, he says.'

So who's correct?

Where does the EU money go?

Can someone tell me where does £55 million of our money go every day. 

Yes we get £21 million back in rebates. Rebates that the EU mostly tell us how we must spend.

So £34 million net goes to the EU. Could someone give me a breakdown as to where this money goes in the EU and who is spending this money.

Any audited figures available?

Belgian Police Find Video of Nuclear Official at Home of Terrorism Suspect -per NYTimes.com

What the BBC aren't telling you about appointing people to the Supreme Court of the USA

Don't expect the BBC to report any of the above, about appointing people to the Supreme Court of the USA, after all there's the 'liberal' agenda to further. For 'liberal' you can, of course, read very illiberal.


Thanks to Theo Spark for the spots.

The BBC censoring the news that doesn't fit their agenda - again

Yesterday I heard that the front-man of the Eagles of Death Metal band that had been playing at the Bataclan when it was attacked by Islamist terrorists had said that it wouldn't have happened if everyone had been armed. My immediate thought was, well the BBC won't like that, how will they report it?

The answer was simpler than I thought, they haven't reported his words at all. This BBC piece reports on the return of Jesse Hughes and the Eagles of Death Metal to Paris. The article includes plenty of 'peace and love' messages but nothing about his views on gun control.

Oddly the equally left-wing Guardian newspaper manages to report Jesse Hughes' views in their piece. Here's how that article starts:

'The frontman of the Eagles of Death Metal, the band that was performing at the Bataclan theatre in Paris when 90 people were murdered by terrorists last year, has remembered his terror at encountering a gunman backstage – and argued for universal access to guns.'

The Guardian tell us more:

'Vocalist-guitarist Jesse Hughes, who is a long-time advocate for access to gun ownership, told the French television station iTélé in a 19-minute, at times tearful interview on Monday that restrictions on guns in France had helped to enable the terrorists.

Asked if his views on gun control had changed after the terror attacks, the member of America’s National Rifle Association said gun control “doesn’t have anything to do with it”.

“Did your French gun control stop a single fucking person from dying at the Bataclan? And if anyone can answer yes, I’d like to hear it, because I don’t think so. I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that I’ve ever seen in my life charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms.'

Now why could the BBC not report Jesse Hughes' views? Are they so wedded to being pro gun-control that any contrary views by someone that the public might feel sympathy for cannot be reported? Do they care so little for impartial reporting at the BBC?

If you read a bit further down The Guardian's article another interesting fact is revealed:

'In separate comments to Agence France-Presse, Hughes, a supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, said: “I don’t go anywhere in America without a gun anymore. That sucks. And I’m not paranoid. I’m not a cowboy... but I want to be prepared.”'

Jesse Hughes, the front man of Eagles of Death Metal is a supporter of Donald Trump - I don't think an invitation to appear on the Question Time panel will be arriving any time soon.


The BBC allegedly unbiased by charter  but in reality biased by nature.

Student Labour leader quits amid antisemitism claims per The Jewish Chronicle

This JC report is a must read, here's an extract:

'The co-chair of a leading student Labour group has quit amid accusations that colleagues "have some kind of problem with Jews".

Alex Chalmers said he was leaving the "poisonous" Oxford University Labour Club (OULC) after it endorsed Israel Apartheid Week, due to take place next week.

Mr Chalmers claimed fellow students had expressed "solidarity" with Hamas and had claimed accusations of antisemitism were "just the Zionists crying wolf".

...

In a lengthy Facebook post published following his resignation on Monday evening, Mr Chalmers wrote that he had invested "an extraordinary amount of time, energy, and emotion" in the club.
 

But it had become "increasingly riven by factional splits, and despite its avowed commitment to liberation, the attitudes of certain members of the club towards certain disadvantaged groups was becoming poisonous".

Students had used the term "Zio" with "casual abandon" he wrote.

They had also expressed "their 'solidarity' with Hamas and explicitly defending their tactics of indiscriminately murdering civilians".

Mr Chalmers claimed one colleague had claimed that "most accusations of antisemitism are just the Zionists crying wolf".

"A large proportion of both OULC and the student left in Oxford more generally have some kind of problem with Jews," he added.'

It will be interesting to see if the BBC report this story. What am I saying...

PIE and the Labour Party

News from The Times that you won't see reported on the Labour supporting BBC:

'Fury as paedophile campaigner is allowed to join Labour party

A notorious paedophile who once campaigned for sex with children to be legalised has been allowed to join the Labour party.

Tom O'Carroll, former chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange (Pie), is understood to have joined after the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader in September.

Pie was formed in 1974 to campaign for a change in the law. O'Carroll was jailed in 1981 for "corrupting public morals" and again in 2006 for distributing indecent images of children.'

Now where have I heard about PIE and the Labour Party before? Maybe the BBC could investigate, maybe not...

EU referendum: David Cameron’s deal is – in legal terms – not worth the paper it’s printed on per City A.M.

A fascinating article in today's City AM that you should read in full.

'When David Cameron set out his plans for a renegotiation followed by a referendum in his Bloomberg Speech three years ago, he said the best way to give effect to the outcome would be a new EU Treaty. Government ministers promised they would secure that before the referendum. They have failed to do so.

Why does this matter? Because any promised changes which are not contained in a new Treaty will not be worth the paper they are written on. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has made clear that the EU Treaties can only be changed by a new EU Treaty. This must be ratified by every member state in accordance with its constitution. Some might have to hold referendums. We would not know the result until several years after we voted.

The government contends that a promise to change the Treaties after the poll can be legally binding. That is not the case. The former director general of the Legal Service of the Council of the European Union, Jean-Claude Piris, has said that the notion of a binding promise to change the Treaties in the future is "bullshit". Sir Konrad Schiemann, the UK's former judge in the ECJ, agrees with him.'

Why is David Cameron misleading the British public? Why are other MPs and ex MPs happy to go along with this? Why are the supposedly unbiased BBC not interested in reporting the facts?

We never released it - Bowie took a recording of it, and just layered some more vocals on for fun, sent it back to me..." - Bernard Sumner. N.B.

Was Ohio Restaurant Targeted In Machete Attack over Israel? Per PJ Media

'A suspect who attacked patrons and staff at the Nazareth Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio with a machete last night was shot and killed by police minutes later, and some indications that the attack may have been motivated by the owner's Israeli heritage.'

Apparently the suspect has been identified as a Mohammed Barry, a man of Somali heritage. This would explain why the institutionally anti Israel BBC are not reporting this news.

BBC: "Bureaucratic, Arrogant and Introspective" Say MPs

A fascinating article at the TV Licensing blog http://tv-licensing.blogspot.sg/2016/02/bbc-bureaucratic-arrogant-and.html reveals something that the BBC have oddly not revealed. 

'The House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee has slammed the BBC as "arrogant" and "lacking transparency" in its first report reviewing the broadcaster's Royal Charter.

The 65-page document concluded that the broadcaster's governing body, the BBC Trust, had lost the public's confidence and should be replaced by a new unitary board with an independent head.

Jessie Norman, Chairman of the Select Committee, said: "The new board needs to address a culture within the BBC that has been widely described as bureaucratic, arrogant and introspective."

The report condemned the underhand manner in which former BBC Director of Television, Danny Cohen, orchestrated a 29-signature lobbying letter ahead of Charter renewal.

"The BBC's website ran, and continues to run, the (lobbying) story as an independent piece of news, without any disclosure in it of the BBC's own coordinating role," said the report.

"Even after a public newspaper investigation and questions from this Committee revealed the truth, the BBC did not put out an online clarification to this story. The Director-General (Lord Hall) argued that this was simply a case of BBC staff speaking up on behalf of the BBC, when it clearly was not. The Chair of the BBC Trust (Rona Fairhead) refused to accept that the BBC had been in any way at fault on this issue."

The BBC rarely accept that they have been at fault, are often arrogant and let's not start on their hiding of the Balen Report that would have revealed the extent of their institutional anti Israel bias.

Study proves urban heat islands exist, even in the Arctic per Watts Up With That?

The BBC often report that temperatures in the Arctic are rising, but are they really?

Watts Up With That have an interesting report http://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/02/10/study-proves-urban-heat-islands-exist-even-in-the-arctic/

'A novel form of the "urban heat island" effect might contribute to why the far north is warming faster than the rest of the globe, a study of five Arctic cities finds.

Sunlight can heat dense building materials. When night falls, buildings will release some of their solar energy into the air. This helps explain why urban centers tend to be a few degrees warmer than nearby rural areas.

"We decided that our Russian Arctic cities should also show this phenomenon," says Mikhail Varentsov, a climatologist at Lomonosov Moscow State University. But indoor heating — not the sun — would be the major heat source, at least in winter, when the sun shines little if at all. To test that idea, he and colleagues set up weather stations to collect data in the five cities north of the Arctic 

Circle for about a week during the polar night (with 24 hours of darkness). Apatity, with a population of about 59,000, showed the strongest effect. Its city center was up to 10 degrees Celsius warmer than outlying areas. Murmansk, with more than 300,000 residents, showed a similar, but smaller, in-town increase of about 3 degrees Celsius. Varentsov shared his team's findings January 28 at the international Arctic Frontiers conference.'

Fascinating and definitely not what the warmists at the BBC will report.

Angus Dalgleish warns health tourist migrants are leaving the NHS at breaking point per Daily Mail Online

Something you won't see or hear reported by the pro unlimited immigration BBC.

'The NHS has been left 'on its knees' by uncontrolled migration from the EU, a leading cancer expert will warn tomorrow.

Professor Angus Dalgleish, the principal of the Cancer Vaccine Institute, says the NHS is being bled dry of resources by health tourists denied care at home.

Cancer treatment can cost £200,000 and, under Brussels rules, Britain has to offer it to all EU nationals.

Professor Dalgleish says this partly explains the NHS's £3billion deficit. He will also claim the Government has hindered progress into key disease areas 'by blindly adhering to EU directives'.

'Our membership of the EU is putting an intolerable strain on our NHS,' Professor Dalgleish, a melanoma expert of global renown, will tell a conference.'The NHS is on its knees and could collapse completely. NHS Trusts were not prepared for the millions of EU migrants who have poured into Britain because the Government estimate was nowhere near the reality.'

In the Safe Spaces on Campus, No Jews Allowed per The Tower

This article is a must read  here's a small extract.

'Over the course of what was probably no longer than an hour, my history was denied, the murder of my people was justified, and a movement whose sole purpose is the destruction of the Jewish homeland was glorified. Statements were made justifying the ruthless murder of innocent Israeli civilians, blatantly denying Jewish indigeneity in the land, and denying the Holocaust in which six million Jews were murdered. Why anyone in their right mind would accept these slanders as truths baffles me. But they did. These statements, and others, were met with endless snaps and cheers. I was taken aback.

...

When I heard that among my peers that "the Jews are oppressors and murderers—How can you care about students of color on campus when they're murdering our people abroad?"—it quickly dawned on me that it wasn't that they don't like us because we're pro-Israel—they don't like us because we're Jews. '

Read the rest and worry about the future for Jews in an increasingly hostile Europe and USA. An hostility exacerbated by the institutionally anti Israel coverage of the BBC and others broadcasters.

More than a million people are expected to try and get into Europe this year but speaking on a visit to refugee camps in Jordan the Foreign Secretary said many were economic migrants who should be sent home.'

Any sensible person knows this to be true but the pro immigration BBC has been pretending this is not the case and so skewed the debate.

The EU is committing "ritual suicide" and the BBC is hiding that

'Robert Fico, the Slovakian prime minister, declared the EU is committing a "ritual suicide" by letting so many people in. He said the country could volunteer 300 guards at the Schengen zone's external borders.

He condemned Jean-Claude Juncker's quota system to share out migrants as "nonsense" and a "complete fiasco"."If it takes until late 2016 or 2017 for Europe to set up its planned border and coastguard force, the EU will have killed itself"

Six in ten migrants not entitled to asylum, says EU chief per The Telegraph. Something that the BBC will not be reporting.

The Telegraph report http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/12123684/Six-in-ten-migrants-not-entitled-to-asylum-says-EU-chief.html thus:

'Frans Timmermans says official data shows majority of refugees are economic migrants, as Slovakia declares Europe is 'suicidal'

Six in 10 migrants arriving in Europe are economic migrants with no right to asylum, one of the EU's most senior officials has disclosed.

Frans Timmermans, the first vice president of the European Commission, said that the majority of those coming to the EU are not fleeing war or persecution.

Many are Tunisians or Moroccans who were joining the migrant trail through Turkey, he said, and they must be deported if the public is to consent to aiding asylum seekers.

"It's about 60 per cent of all asylum seekers," he said, citing internal figures held by Frontex, the EU border agency. "These are people that you can assume have no reason to apply for refugee status."'

The truth about the migrant crisis is not what the BBC are interested in reporting, so don't expect this piece of news to get any attention on the BBC.

BBC News in turmoil

The BBC are in turmoil http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35468776. They have expended much effort in trying to destroy Donald Trump's campaign whilst minimising coverage of the other Republican candidates thus trying to ensure that whichever Republican won the Republican nomination could be portrayed as a political minnow when compared to the BBC's chosen candidate Hillary Clinton. 

Unfortunately,for the BBC, not only did Ted Cruz win the Republican nomination in Iowa but Hillary Clinton has at best managed just a tiny win over Bernie Sanders. The BBC have been to so much trouble minimising coverage of the various scandals that have surrounded Hillary Clinton that the British public just won't understand why the American Democrat voters could have turned against the BBC's choice. 

Maybe if the BBC just impartially reported the news rather than trying to push their various agendas and political choices, then maybe they wouldn't keep being embarrassed by people not voting the BBC way...

UK expands 0.5% in fourth quarter and you can sense BBC News's gritted teeth

This BBC report http://www.bbc.com/news/business-35427222 gives one the impression that the BBC news team are unhappy reporting some more good economic news.

This passage especially has more than a whiff of being written through gritted teeth:

'The annual pace of growth maybe the slowest for three years but still puts the UK economy among the fastest growing among the developed nations.'

Poor BBC, reporting the truth hurts.

Forget the facts, the BBC have an agenda to push

This BBC article http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35393423 about the illegal boarding of a sea vessel by 'men' contains this sentence:

'The situation in Calais comes amid an influx of migrants to Europe - caused largely by people fleeing war and oppression in countries such as Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea.'

Forget the figures showing more of these migrants are coming from North Africa, the BBC have an agenda to push.

Because Jews don't count for BBC News

This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-35309195 describes Indonesia as 'largely secular'. But it's no multi religion paradise if you're not a Muslim. Ask the residents of the predominately Hindu island of Bali or the remnants of the small Jewish community of Indonesia. The latter task could be tricky because in September 2013 it was revealed that the last synagogue in Indonesia had been destroyed. 'Unidentified persons' demolished the Beith Shalom synagogue in Surabaya on the island of Java to its foundations sometime earlier this year, according to a report on Indoweb.nl.The synagogue has seen a number of anti-Israel protests staged in front of it and was sealed by Islamic hard-liners in 2009, according to the Jakarta Globe. Oddly I don't recall the BBC reporting this piece of news about Indonesia becoming all but Judenfrei, but then in the Islamic world that's not really news.

Cologne attackers were of migrant origin - minister per BBC News through gritted teeth

The BBC report through very gritted teeth that:

'The men suspected of attacking women in Cologne on New Year's Eve were "almost exclusively" from a migration background, mainly North African and Arab, an official report says.'

But the BBC being the BBC, they have to try and lay the blame elsewhere:

'Cologne police also made "serious mistakes" in not calling reinforcements and the way they informed the public.
 

More than 500 criminal complaints were filed, 40% alleging sexual assault.'

And the BBC's main worry is the possibility of retaliatory attacks:

'Apparent retaliatory attacks in Cologne on Sunday were condemned by the government as inexcusable.'

It was David Bowie's 69th birthday on Friday and I almost posted a track of his to celebrate. But which one? There were too many great songs. So rather than choose one or two from dozens, I didn't post anything.

Today I wake to the need that one of, if not the, greatest pop and rock artistes of my lifetime has passed away, another victim of cancer. What a loss...

Germany confirms most mob attack suspects were asylum seekers

Yahoo News are reporting that which the BBC won't.

'Germany said Friday most suspects in the mob violence that marred Cologne's New Year's Eve celebrations were asylum seekers, fuelling calls to quickly deport criminal migrants.

...

A week after the chaotic scenes outside Cologne railway station, federal police said they had identified 31 suspects whose alleged offences were "mostly theft and causing bodily harm".

Eighteen of them are asylum seekers, the interior ministry said.

Among the suspects are nine Algerians, eight Moroccans, five Iranians, four Syrians, two Germans and one citizen each from Iraq, Serbia and the United States, ministry spokesman Tobias Plate said.'

Birmingham teen lied about being punched in the face because she wore a hijab per Daily Mail Online

This news is something that the pro Islamic immigration BBC won't be reporting. For the BBC an Islamophobic backlash is the biggest concern whenever some Islamists carry out another outrage. So this story of a Muslim making up an Islamophobic attack must be kept secret.

Sex attackers risk deportation says Merkel per BBC News who continue to try to persuade that migrants might not have been to blame for the New Year's Eve attacks in Cologne, Stuttgart, Switzerland and elsewhere

This BBC news article is desperate stuff. It tries to persuade us that it might not be migrants from the Middle East and North Africa that were to blame for the sexual assaults and other misdemeanours that occurred on New Year's Eve in Cologne and other cities in Europe. 

'On the square outside were several thousand men, most of a migrant background, who were firing all kinds of fireworks and throwing bottles into the crowd at random.'

'German media, also quoting internal police reports, say that significant numbers of Syrian, Afghan and Iraqi migrants were in the crowd – although it is unclear if any were involved in the attacks.'

'But Cologne's mayor said there was no reason to believe those behind the attacks were refugees.'

The mayor and the BBC might actually be correct here, but only insofar as these migrants ceased to be refugees when they left the first safe country they reached having previously left their dangerous country of origin. Once they left Turkey, Greece, Italy etc and moved north for the money, benefits and housing they stopped being refugees and became migrants. 

The above assumes that these people ever were refugees, something that is by no means certain and is indeed unlikely to apply to all of them.

Google, Facebook and Twitter Yield to Government Demand to Censor 'Hate Speech'

Breitbart repoets the anti free speech news that:

'In a deal reached last December, major social media sites said they would work to delete any German anti-migrant sentiments distributed on their networks within 24 hours after a removal request has been made.'

A German government being against free speech, who'd have thought it? 

As John F. Kennedy said:

'Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.'

The trouble is that our overlords in the EU aren't interested in free speech, EUrabia is our decided future.

Oxford marks Hebdo attack with Voltaire per BBC News

Of course this BBC piece approving of free speech, and the Oxford University campaign for it, manages not to mention the Oxford students campaign to rid Oriel College of the statue of Cecil Rhodes. Nor of the campaign to ban Donald Trump from the UK that they have been happily promoting.

The BBC are very capable of simultaneously holding two completely contradictory thoughts, George Orwell would be so unamazed.

English GP surgeries reach new patient 'breaking point' per BBC News

Not a mention of immigration being a major factor in increasing patient demand for NHS GP services because for the BBC facts are sometimes just too inconvenient to mention.

Sometimes political balance is important to the BBC

There's a fascinating article in The Times today, page 5 of the print edition. 

Apparently Barry Humphries wanted to tell a joke about Jeremy Corbyn when he was to appear on Michael MacIntyre's Christmas show. He was told that for balance he'd 'also have to say something about Mr Cameron.'

Oddly this political balance doesn't seem to apply to the majority of BBC topical news quizzes and panel shows where lampooning Conservatives is de rigeur, Labour less so. And as for UKIP and Donald Trump, well the BBC don't even pretend to be impartial there.

Germany shocked by Cologne New Year gang assaults on women per BBC News

The BBC have finally http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35231046 got around to reporting the Cologne attacks. I found this part of their report interesting:

'A policeman who was outside Cologne station during the New Year's Eve trouble told the city's Express news website that he had detained eight suspects. "They were all asylum seekers, carrying copies of their residence certificates," he said.

However, there was no official confirmation that asylum seekers had been involved in the violence. Commentators in Germany were quick to urge people not to jump to conclusions.'

Are there no lengths the BBC won't go to to protect Muslim immigrants from censure?

Freedom of Information is very important to the BBC

This BBC article bemoans the way that the government doesn't comply with Freedom of Information requests, it's an interesting article and worth a read. However I'd take Michael Buchanan, BBC Social Affairs Correspondent more seriously were he not working for an organisation that routinely refuses to divulge information when in receipt of an FOI request. 

There are numerous examples of this culture of secrecy at the BBC but possibly the most disgusting is their refusal to release the Balen Report. If you don't know what the Balen Report is, then here's Wikipedia:

'The Balen Report is a 20,000 word document written by the senior broadcasting journalist Malcolm Balen in 2004 after examining thousands of hours of the BBC's coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The report was commissioned by former BBC Director of News, Richard Sambrook, following persistent complaints from the public and the Israeli government of allegations of anti-Israel bias.

It is a legal obligation for the Corporation to be impartial which is why this Report is so important. Well-known examples of purported bias are: BBC's correspondent in Jerusalem 2004, Barbara Plett who broadcast Yasser Arafat's exit to hospital "When the helicopter carrying the frail old man rose above his ruined compound I started to cry ...".

Eventually one year later Helen Boaden, Head of BBC News admitted this was "an editorial misjudgment". There have been similar issues since the report. In 2006 Middle-East correspondent Orla Guerin claimed the Town of Bint Jbeil had been 'wiped out' by the Israelis and showed footage to support this. It had not in fact been wiped out and Channel 4's Alex Thomson, the same day, reported ( from the same street) that the town was "pretty much untouched by the Israeli attack". In fact when the two new's reports were compared it became clear Guerin had completely misled the public. in 2005 The Israeli government accused Ms Guerin of being 'anti-Semitic' in her reporting of a would-be suicide bomber.'

 It is estimated that the BBC has spent over £200,000 of licence payers money on keeping the Balen Report secret.

Just how damning must the Balen Report have been for the BBC to be so desperate to keep it under wraps?

Why do the BBC consider this mild story worthy of coverage but not the mass sexual assaults at Cologne station?

German police hunt for group of up to 1,000 men over sex attacks

'German police are hunting for a group of up to a 1,000 men 'of Arab and North African origin' who are accused of sexually assaulting numerous women and causing trouble at Cologne's main station.

Police described the series of sexual assaults against women in Cologne on New Year's Eve as 'a completely new dimension of crime.'

Officers received numerous complaints from women who said they had been assaulted around Cologne's main train station next to the western German city's famous cathedral on the night from Thursday to Friday.

The group of men reportedly also robbed their victims and threw fireworks at a crowd of people, according to Breitbart. 

Cologne police chief Wolfgang Albers said witnesses described the assaults as coming from a group of up to 1,000 men whose appearance indicated they were of 'Arab or North African origin.'

Oddly I can find no mention of this news on the BBC. Why might that be? If a woman is sexually assaulted in India then the pro Islamic Pakistan BBC readies the headlines but not when it's sexual assaults by Muslim men in Europe. The BBC once again disgusts me.

Tel Aviv shooting: Two dead, Israeli police say per BBC News

Typical BBC shite here http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35209917

'As of 23 December, at least 21 Israelis had been killed in the recent violence, most of them in stabbings and shooting attacks by Palestinians.

At least 131 Palestinians have also been killed. More than half were said by Israel to be attackers. Others have been killed in clashes with Israeli forces.'

My contempt for the BBC is beyond measure. They are institutionally anti Israel and have got worse since the Balen Report that they were so desperate to keep secret.  

I don't think vile scum is too strong a word for the BBC.
