The BBC is a strange creature. It is profoundly anti-Christian, in my view, and as detailed in these pages over the years, but yet it has a certain fondness for the Anglican Church just so long as that institution careens off in a nihilistic leftist direction. It has been fawning in covering the commentary by well known economist Rowan Williams in the FT this morning in which he backs the farcical "Tobin Tax". On Today this morning it brought on that wholly fool Bishop of London Dr Richard Chartres (7.50 a.m.) who was made to essentially apologise for not immediately having gone on-side with the anarcho-communist rabble outside St. Paul's! Chartres was an embarrassment who grovelled and in essence came out supporting "the ideas" of the protesters. So, with the St. Paul's theological establishment dripping wet and opposing Capitalism, and with Rowan Williams doing his best to ruin our Banking system, a warm reception from the BBC is almost guaranteed. I would go further and suggest that just as the BBC has rotted away from within, embracing leftism instead of pursuing impartial reporting, so has the COE rotted away and St.Paul's stands aloft as a glorious whited sepulchre. BBC: MF Global files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Have you been enjoying BBC exasperation today that the economic figures have been BETTER than they were hoping for? All day long there has been a series of pundits having to repeat the GDP growth through gritted teeth before reverting to the Ed Balls mantra inanity that the growth isn't really growth and the ONLY way we can get our economy going forwards is...Vote Labour!>> WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 02, 2011
Mid-week and time for a brand new Open Thread. Over to you......
ALL GREEK TO THE BBC
CHARLIE HEBDO
The offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have been destroyed by a petrol bomb, French police say. It comes a day after the publication named the Prophet Muhammad as its "editor-in-chief" for its next issue.Its cover carried a caricature of the Prophet making a facetious comment. The magazine said the move was intended to "celebrate" the victory of an Islamist party in last month's Tunisian elections. Charlie Hebdo's editor is quoted as saying: "We no longer have a newspaper. All our equipment has been destroyed."
The BBC angle seems to be that these French satirists brought it on themselves being deliberately provocative. No discussion as to who carried out the fire-bombing. Perhaps "youths" from Les Banlieus? We'l never know. The website of the magazine has also been hacked, with a message in English and Turkish, left on it. (Not French, entertainingly!). Again, no real examination as to WHO was behind this. It seems that the BBC accepts that Islamists have the right to raze to the ground any building and destroy any company that dares make fun of Mohammed. Not only that but it seeks to place responsibility on the victims of Islamic intolerance. WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
SHHH... DON'T MENTION THE OBAMA CONNECTION

US brokerage firm MF Global has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after revealing £4bn of eurozone debt exposure.... Jon Corzine, who took over as chief executive of MF Global last year, made big bets on sovereign bonds issued by European countries, it is claimed.
And now for the detail you don't get from the BBC...THAT DAMNABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH

Another blow to the BBC. Greece's cabinet has given unanimous backing to the plan by PM George Papandreou to hold a referendum on a EU debt rescue package. You will recall that only yesterday the BBC was hoping that perhaps Papandroeu would fail to win this backing, so another bad day for those living in the fetid Euro-swamps of the BBC. They wheeled on Elena Panaritis, an MP from the Greek Pasok party, to the Today programme this morning but she did not follow the script and talked about the need to consult the people about the implications of the Austerity measures forced on her country by "the colleagues." This was met by BBC stony indifference. It's hilarious watching the puffed up outrage of the Euro-elite at the concept of the people of a Nation being given the right to speak out about their future, it's disgusting to note the State Broadcaster parrot this totalitarian creed.
It's been interesting observing the BBC coverage of the overnight firebombing of the offices of French satirical magazine "Charlie Hebdo".
