Interesting choice of BBC language here.

Munich 1972..Israeli deaths 'masterminded' in an "audacious"Palestinian attack...which "killed" 2 Israelis....9 others "died" in a botched german police rescue attempt.

Not machine gunned and grenaded to death then?


BBC weekend staff even more appalling than the usual crew. It's almost as if they admired the Palestinian savagery on display in 1972, and every year since.

Anything Goes

Sabotaging £180,000 worth of equipment and similar crimes are now quite legal. All you have to do when caught is plead that it was all in a good cause.

Oddly enough the two legal precedents that have set this new standard concern two of the BBC’s favourite causes. Warmism and vilifying Israel.

Melanie Phillips, Robin Shepherd and Jonathan Hoffman have written about this staggering development which was brought about by last week’s judgement at Hove Crown Court, where the jury decided to exonerate all the perpetrators of a demonstrably criminal act merely because the judge’s summing-up directed them that that the end justified the means.

Judge George Bathusrt-Norman acquitted all the accused who had used the defence that “direct action was the only option left”. Never mind the law; now it seems anything goes, with the proviso that the crime involves destroying stuff believed to be aiding and abetting Israel, or causing man-made global warming.

Melanie Phillips reminds us that:
“In September 2008, a jury decided that it was ok to break the law and cause more than £35,000 criminal damage to a coal-fired power station because of the threat of man-made global warming.”

So, by coincidence, two of the BBC 's furious campaigns have affected our rational thinking so much that the rule of law can be thrown to the wind. Whole juries and judges have become inflamed with righteousness and indignation till they feel morally obliged to hit out, circumvent the law and chuck the democratic process over the side.

This verdict sanctions any activism as long as it’s in accord with the Judge’s fancy; it opens the floodgates for demos and violent protests.
Why wait for votes on BDS. Just traipse into your local supermarket and stamp on anything you think comes from Israel. Go ahead. The judge will probably think your heart is in the right place.

Notorious “Israel basher and ignoramus” Tony Greenstein was delighted at the verdict, but even he was worried that “Judge George Bathurst-Norman’s summing up was so favourable that some supporters were worried that the jury might react to what they perceived as an attempt to bounce them into a not guilty verdict.”

He continues: “We need not have worried!” adding a revealing comment that hands the judge’s critics a small gift: “Perhaps the fact that His Honour was born in the Arab town of Jaffa opposite Tel Aviv might have something to do with it!”

Another mystery surrounds this judge:
“Judge George Bathurst-Norman was brought out of retirement to hear the case.”
“Why?” one might ask, and “By whom?”

The BBC, obviously sympathetic to the cause, gives a platform to the activists.

Many people think several decades of delegitimisation and biased reporting is responsible for bringing this situation about. If you think this accusation is unjustified consider the alacrity with which the jury complied with the judge’s summing up. If the judge has a Palestinian connection that’s one thing, but how do you think he was able to get away with what he said to the jury?

“In his summing up, Judge George Bathurst-Norman suggested to the jury that ‘you may well think that hell on earth would not be an understatement of what the Gazans suffered in that time’. "
You may well think that; or you may well think that the BBC leaves its fingerprints everywhere.

The world has gone mad today,
And good’s bad today,
And black’s white today
And day’s night today............
Now heaven knows.
Anything Goes.

ANY QUESTIONS?

Wonder did anyone else catch "Any Questions" this week? I caught the repeat this lunch-time on Radio 4. It is AWFUL. Jonathan, like his brother David, is effortlessly leftist. And as for the panel - well, good old BBC favourite anti-Conservative Chris Patten was there, to provide balance! Meanwhile. John Denham (= good guy because he opposed the liberation of Iraq) and Olly Grender (Nice Paddy Ashdown associated Liberal) ensured it tilted even further left. Stuart Rose was the only voice of near sanity.

THE GANGS OF BRIXTON...

Another teenager has been stabbed to death in London and the BBC want to discuss the issue. Partially. The issue is framed very carefully and the elephant in the room which the BBC will not discuss is the blunt fact that much of this gang culture is black youth driven. The BBC talks about the knives, not about who is wielding them. Why not? Is it because it pierces a hole in the multicultural dream so beloved of the State Broadcaster and exposes the tragic breakdown of family life in the black community?

STILL FIGHTING THE WAR...

Long after Saddam's corpse has rotted away, the BBC is still fighting the Iraq war. As you know, the BBC consistently opposed the idea that the UK should join in the fight to remove the Baghdad Butcher, and when we did do what was right, the BBC led the charge against it - with the dismal beat of defeat being a daily feature of the war coverage. Even now - with Afghanistan now being the major theatre of war (and also opposed) - the BBC can't let go of Iraq. You see it needs to prove the war was illegal, and thus wrong. It ran this item today which is essentially the BBC continuing to press the case that removing Saddam was wrong because an academic says so. Plus ca change! The BBC is still stuck in some sort of John Lennon-esque "Give Peace a Chance" timewarp.

THE ULTIMATE TRAGEDY...

I was reading this item by the charming BBC ace correspondent Orla Guerin. It seeks to inform us about the real threat facing Pakistan - poverty. In particular, it concentrates on the decision by a Pakistani father to poison his family to death. Ine survives - this is her story. Why do I think Orla is missing the ultimate tragedy?

Here you go, this is the Biased BBC broadcasting to the world...

They Say We'll Have Some Fun if .......

A B-BBC reader wonders why we’ve missed an important part of the story about Summer Camps in Gaza.

I quipped about Mr. Naughtie’s unproductive chat with Jon Donnison and his cosy tête-à-tête with John Ging on the subject of Hamas torching the UN kids summer camp in Gaza. But I did note later that others had tackled the issue more broadly.

I’m not an investigative journalist. I’m not a journalist at all, but I have got broadband, and I like to find things out. So the aspect that everyone seems to have overlooked, and the thing that was troubling the aforementioned reader is a kind of elephant that should have been in our room.

It’s the indoctrination that goes on in these camps. We all know that Hamas instils hatred in Palestinian children. The BBC knows it. Jane Corbin,who has a soft spot for Hamas, knows it; she even acknowledges it in writing.

Allegedly, this is the primary purpose of Hamas’s summer camps, and must be one of the reasons they want their camps, and their camps only, to be camp of choice for its young recruits to Shaheed. So, to make certain, they eliminate the competition. Good move.

There are many many articles on the internet detailing this brainwashingprogramme, so the BBC, with its generously remunerated journalists, whose soon to be revealed salaries will undoubtedly reassure us of their worthiness, must be well aware of the situation. Apart from James Naughtie. Oh, and Jon Donnison.

But there’s another thing. It’s a widely held assumption that the UN and the UNWRA schools are genuine summer camps. Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda,Here I am at Camp Granada. Guys are swimming, guys are sailing,.....

But it seems not. It is said that the UNWRA camps are pretty bad too. That would explain John Ging’s contortion-like reluctance to criticise Hamas.

Take me home, Oh Mudda Fadda, Take me home.....

NO SMOKE WITHOUT....

For the BBC, it's simple. It's about a constant stream of newthink and newspeak, telling us that we should accept immigration, that any form of patriotism is evil, and that fear of danger from minorities - especially from Muslims - is idiocy.

Thus, this story about the Great Fire of London becomes an exercise in Goebbels-style propaganda. The facts are that back in 1666, Britain was in the middle of a major war with the Dutch; it was a battle for markets, against trade protectionism and much more; those who lived here at the time thought it was a vital cause and a just cause. Arguably, the actions of the brave men and women back then secured Britain's place in the world and our future prosperity.

National security, unsurprisingly during war time, was a major issue - soon after the Great Fire, the Dutch mounted a major blockade of the Thames which led to the Battle of the Medway, a vicious action in which they attacked the fleet at its moorings. So when the Great Fire broke out in September 1666, it was hardly surprising that one theory about the causes of its outbreak was the Dutch.

But heck, for the BBC, any thought that Londoners should have been worried is just nonsense; it's purely xenophobia at its worse that carries lessons for today. In this major re-writing and distortion of our past, I quote from the Meriel Jeater, the "expert" chosen by the BBC to play the Goebbels role. She says:

The dark side was that the fire burst on to the surface religious tension and paranoia about national security...It's a tale with echoes today, says Ms Jeater. "When I was curating the exhibition, it wasn't long after the 7/7 bombings and when I was reading about the reactions against Catholics and the Dutch, it struck me that there were a lot of similarities with the backlash against Muslim people after the bombing. A lot of suspicion about people living in London".

So that's it then. We should all ignore that many Muslims are busy trying to undermine us, just as back in 1666, we should have rolled over, forgotten about national interests and patriotism, and let the Dutch invade. And of course, our ancestors were nasty, xenophobic, insentient morons. In the US, they revere their founding fathers; here; the BBC leads the charge in denigrating and insulting them.
