Biased BBC

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 sue # Where's Geert? Please tell me I’m wrong. I can’t find anything on the BBC about the message Geert Wilders has received from Irving N. Jones on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Home department. (If anyone hasn’t seen Fitna yet it can be seen on Jihad Watch). Wilders barred from UK: "would threaten community harmony and therefore public security" The Telegraph’s report also seems rather inhibited, or am I imagining things. “A spokesman told the daily Telegraph “The government opposes extremism in all its forms." " It will stop those who want to spread extremism hatred and violent messages from coming into our country” So by stopping someone from coming into this country who wants to stop extremism hatred and violent messages, the government is stopping extremism hatred and violent messages? Pull the other one. Whatever side you're on, it's certainly a big news story, but maybe the BBC thinks making a big fuss would threaten community harmony and therefore public security. If the BBC is not reporting this, or is playing it down, it is far more sinister than just another victory for Lord Ahmed. Update: A report has now appeared on the BBC website. Was I too quick to post or was the BBC a bit slow? Comments: 58 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # THE LAST WORD I was reading through this article on the outcome of the Israeli election. Can you guess to whom the BBC gives the last word ? ;-) It's also funny to read BBC veiled disapproval of a "horse-trading" PR system which they know will lead to Benjamin Netanyahu becoming the next Prime Minister in preference to their own favourite, Livni.

To be clear; I have NO time whatsover for the BNP but I do accept they are a lawful political party. This clear discrimination against them does not meet with the approval of all Anglicans and it would have been nice for the BBC to provide space for those who take issue with this decision. Some people might equally think that a government which has abandoned our national borders, engaged in reckless economic policies, failed in its duty to our armed forces and prostrated itself to Islam is JUST as morally repugnant as the BNP. But the BBC would never consider that possibility or give space to those who might think it. The BNP is the great pariah party for the established political left and so when a decision like this is taken by the General Synod it is celebrated by the BBC.

I was fascinated by what was presented by Lucy Ash as "a behind-the-scenes role played by Egypt and its President Hosni Mubarak in the latest crisis in Gaza." I don't think I have ever heard the malignant Muslim Brotherhood get such asympathetic hearing as the usual pro-Hamas angle was taken - this time with the Egyptians getting it in the neck from the Palestinian shills at the BBC.
