OVERKILL?

OVERKILL?

Is the sad death of Sir Bobby Robson really the single BIGGEST news story in the UK today? The BBC are giving it massive prominence which seems a tad disproportionate and I speak as someone who has a son who is a fervent Newcastle FC supporter! Look, it's a shame that he has died, I think he was a nice guy and I did watch the testimonial for his Charity at St James last weekBUT this is overkill. Wonder what bad news the BBC are really trying to hide?

NIGERIAN BLUES

Yes, it's awful news, isn't it? I refer to the killing of Islamic Jihadist leader Mohammed (sic) Yusef in Nigeria. Thank goodness those Human Rights activists in New Yorky City are on the case and pleading for an immediate investigation as to how this outrage could have happened. Let's hope the results will be made public as it's a bad news day when an Islamic killer gets, erm, killed. Anyway, what intrigued me about the BBC report was the comment that "Sharia law is in place across northern Nigeria, but there is no history of al-Qaeda-linked violence. The country's 150 million people are split almost equally between Muslims in the north and Christians in the south." Hang on a second. Why is it that so many Christians live in the south, exactly? The weather? Nope. Might be something to do with this. With executions, amputations and merciless persecution of non-believers in the Religion of Peace , it's hard to tell the subtle difference between this and Al Queda linked violence. But the BBC can discern it. Lucky them.

YOU SAY TOMATO...

I notice that the BBC have been reporting on the deaths of two Spanish Civil Guard officers on the island on Majorca. It seems they were killed by Basque Separatists ETA. Mmmm. Or, alternatively, they were brutally murdered by Basque terrorists. Even the leftwing Spanish government call this an act of terrorism but the BBC studiously avoid the T word. Too judgemental, you see.
