BBC building About 20 former BBC staff are barred even from revealing they signed a gagging deal (Alastair Grant)

THE BBC has used licence fee money to buy the silence of about 20 former staff who left after claiming to have been the victims of bullying or sexual harassment.

They have laid out their grievances in formal complaints to a BBC review set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal and overseen by Dinah Rose QC.

Former staff rounded on the BBC for its “hypocrisy” in gagging employees while promising to clean up the culture that enabled Savile to escape detection for his sexual crimes.

The 20 people forced to sign the gags, called compromise agreements, are barred even from revealing they have signed such a deal.

Modern day San El Hakkar and infrared image of ancient Tanis The infrared image on the right reveals the ancient city streets of Tanis near modern-day San El Hagar

Seventeen lost pyramids are among the buildings identified in a new satellite survey of Egypt.

More than 1,000 tombs and 3,000 ancient settlements were also revealed by looking at infra-red images which show up underground buildings.

Initial excavations have already confirmed some of the findings, including two suspected pyramids.

The work has been pioneered at the University of Alabama at Birmingham by US Egyptologist Dr Sarah Parcak.

BBC laments the lack of Islamic beachheads in Greece

Of course, the fact that the Hagia Sophia, the most important cathedral in Christendom after the Vatican and the most for Eastern Christians is still a conquered mosque where Christian worship is still strictly forbidden escapes the dhimmis at the BBC.

Athens – the EU capital city without a mosque

By Mark Lowen BBC News, Athens

Muslims worship in an improvised prayer room in Athens Some 300,000 Muslims are said to live in Athens

At Friday prayers and across Athens, Muslims gather in underground, cramped prayer rooms.

The makeshift facilities are illegal but this huge community faces no other option. Athens, a metropolis on the edge of the Muslim world, is one of the few EU capitals without a mosque.

Since Greece gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1832, no government has allowed a mosque to be built in the city. It was seen by many as “un-Greek” – out of place in a country in which much more than 90% of the population are Orthodox Christians.

BBC veteran, Stuart Hall charged with indecent assault against young girls

No wonder the BBC is so sympathetic with Islam. On the other hand, it’s a surprise that they aren’t hostile as they are all competing for the same twisted sick perversion.

Guardian:

Broadcaster accused of three offences committed between 1974 and 1984 involving girls aged between eight and 17

The veteran BBC commentator Stuart Hall has been charged with three counts of indecent assault which date back to the 1970s and 1980s.

The former It’s A Knockout presenter, 82, was arrested on Wednesday morning and later that day charged with sex offences.

It is alleged he abused three girls aged between eight and 17 years between 1974 and 1984, according to the Crown Prosecution Service. Hall was released without charge on an allegation of rape and a further allegation of indecent assault but bailed to appear before magistrates on the other charges in Preston on 7 January 2013.

Stunning really.

EDL and We Are Norwich protests: Four arrested at demonstrations

As th BBC did not specifically say that it was EDL members that were arrested but worded it so that a quick read would link the two concepts in the mind of the readers, I would say it is a safe bet that it was anti-EDL counter-demonstrators who acted up and were arrested. But I don’t ‘know’ this. I am merely extrapolating based on what I have seen so far.

EDL supporters at the start of their march About 200 EDL supporters took part in the march through Norwich

Police made four arrests during an English Defence League march and counter-protest in Norwich.

Officers from 11 forces were on duty as about 200 EDL supporters and up to 2,000 members of the We Are Norwich coalition marched through the city.

Police said the day passed off relatively peacefully, although extra officers remained in the city centre into the evening as a precaution.

Both groups said they were they were pleased with the outcome of the day.

The EDL organised its march in protest at Norwich City Council’s decision to ban Pastor Alan Clifford of Norwich Reformed Church for promoting “hate-motivated” anti-Islam leaflets from a council-owned stall on Hay Hill.

We Are Norwich, a coalition of 25 groups, staged a counter-demonstration.

The EDL march began at Castle Gardens, passing through central Norwich to City Hall.

The We Are Norwich march began with a rally at Chapelfield Gardens and also finished at City Hall.

The war memorial was barricaded off and the two opposing groups were kept apart across a “sterile zone” in front of City Hall, but there was some isolated trouble.

Two men were arrested for suspected public order offences.

Q&A after screening of the UK film, ‘My Brother the Islamist’

Our own EDL Buck went to film the screening of the BBC documentary, ‘My Brother the Islamist’ by Robb Leech.

Like any presentation anywhere I have ever seen live or in video there are lots of people lining up at the microphones not so much with questions as with lectures to prove their own moral or intellectual superiority to the film makers and everyone there.

This is no exception.

However for those impatient who wish to cut to the chase, scroll to around 17 minutes 45 seconds and listen from there where EDL Buck makes the film maker cut through the relativist BS and answer direct questions about where Islam has taken his brother now. However to get a sense of how hard people try and avoid reality, watch the whole thing.

An insightful and informative article on the BBC’s own, Frank help-me-I’m-a-Muslim Gardner

Please click over to the New English Review for some stunning arrogance and media bias by the BBC. It is well worth the click.

 

It was Frank Gardner who, in Saudi Arabia, having been shot by some Musilm Arabs in Saudi Arabia, and as he lay there, helpless, on the ground, trying to get some of the indifferent passing Arabs to stop, cried out “Help me — I’m a Muslim. Help me– I’m a Muslim.” Thus did Frank Gardner, in his moment of anguish and fear, reveal that he understood perfectly that the only reason a Muslim would stop to help him were if that Muslim believed he was a fellow Muslim. How did he know this? Oh, he’d worked for a Saudi bank for nine years, before becoming a BBC journalist stationed in the Middle East, travelling to and reporting from, many Muslim countries. Why, he’d been “in love with Arabia”

This is the moment a BBC film crew were held by security teams at the notoriously secretive Area 51 – where conspiracy theorists believe the American government is hiding a flying saucer.

Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell and UFO expert Darren Perks sneaked past the border at the site  – and were forced to lie on the ground at gunpoint for three hours while the FBI checked their credentials.

It is the same ‘documentary’ team that caused outrage in Britain last week when they suggested that the 7/7 London bombings were part of a government conspiracy to boost support for the Iraq war.

BBC is full of liberals afraid to mock Islam (says veteran of the BBC)

Roger Bolton said BBC bosses were out of touch with the publicRoger Bolton said BBC bosses were out of touch with the public

A respected BBC broadcaster has claimed television is dominated by ‘liberal sceptical humanists’ who laugh at Christianity but are afraid to mock Islam.

Roger Bolton, a former editor of Panorama, said an obsession with human rights over religious beliefs had left corporation bosses out of touch with the public.

In the modern culture of broadcasting, Mr Bolton said anyone who opposed gay marriage or IVF was treated as a ‘lunatic’ if it was because of their religious beliefs.

He added: ‘The default position in broadcasting is always, it’s a question of human rights and how can they do it.’

Mr Bolton said it had got to a point where audiences thought it was ‘fun’ to mock Christianity but would not dare laugh at jokes about Islam.

He said in the last few years ‘something went wrong with the BBC’s religious programming’ and questioned whether it was ‘fit for purpose’.

Mr Bolton presented Sunday, Radio 4’s main programme for religious news and current affairs, for 12 years until 2010.

BBC Left wing bias, so predictable its actually funny.

This time, the BBC had to find some by-the-book out there leftist prof. from the University of Texas to obfuscate and avoid any actual pertinent facts about the French riots and try and stuff it back into the usual commie narrative talking points. Poverty, (without explaining why) unemployment (without explaining why) and “being disenfranchised” all the while giving the current socialist government of France a pass for the responsibility because they have only been in power a few months. None of this of course is pertinent or even information about the riots. Just classic slapstick BBC propaganda. Like the CBC in Canada, if we didn’t have to pay for it, it would be funny as hell.

Horley mosque attack: Call for citizenship classes

It is interesting that the vast majority of people reading the following article by the BBC will nod silently and not give a moments thought to the fact that culture, religion, ideology and belief have little if anything to do with biology, and therefore no amount of hatred and contempt for any one of them can possibly be defined as ‘racism’ by any rational definition whatsoever. This of course, was a trick planted by the OIC with great effect. To equate discrimination based on ethnicity with religion. As a consequence, you see absurd stories like the one below:

BBC:

A Muslim politician in Surrey has called for citizenship classes to be reinstated in schools after his local mosque was desecrated.

Vandals threw eggs and alcohol at an Islamic centre in Horley as 400 people prayed inside.

Imran Khan, of the Conservative Muslim Forum, said lessons to prevent hatred should return to the curriculum.

Surrey Police said it recorded 200 crimes with a racial connection in the first half of the year.

Mr Khan, a former borough councillor, said: “What I can see from this is a clear opportunity to re-engage these people with the broader Horley community, and I think the best place to tackle this problem is within the schooling system.

“I think the citizenship education programme which is being taken out by Michael Gove [Education Secretary] should be reinstated.”

It staggers the imagination to realize that the genuine hatred, racism and incitement to genocide,  and political takeover and replacement of all laws and culture with sharia that takes place in these mosques many times a day somehow does not get stopped and charged with racism, while pointing out the truth of it does.

We can certainly thank the UK’s ministry of truth, The BBC, for that one.

 

BBC, the olympics, and anti-Israel bias

From Archbishop Cranmer

One is used to this sort of thing from The Guardian: its Israel-loathing anti-Semitism has long been a matter of public record. But The Guardian is a privately-run, commercial enterprise with the right in law to believe as its proprietor wishes and speak as its editor wills.

The same rights do not extend to the BBC, which is publicly owned and financed by the British taxpayer, with a commitment to broadcast impartiality and factual accuracy.

His Grace has been following this story closely for the past week: The Commentator blog drew attention to the fact that the BBC’s online Olympic coverage was manifestly anti-Israel and pro-Palestine: every participating nation had its capital city listed, bar the state of Israel, which was left blank. Yet the non-state of Palestine had its capital listed as ‘East Jerusalem’. Despite Israel’s seat of government – the Knesset – being in Jerusalem, and despite a plethora of foreign embassies being located in Tel Aviv, the BBC opted to identify neither as Israel’s capital city. And yet, despite the Palestinian seat of government being in Ramallah, and despite Jerusalem not being divided, the BBC opted to carve the East away and hand it, lock, stock and barrel (Temple Mount, Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre) to the self-proclaimed Palestinian Authority.

City’s Jewish community stands firm after ‘jihad at home’ terror plot

“I’ve had eggs thrown at me, been punched in the face and suffered verbal abuse for being a Jew,” said Rabbi Arnold Saunders.

“But we were all taken aback when we heard about a terrorist bomb plot.”

The rabbi, of the Higher Crumpsall and Higher Broughton Synagogue, is trying to reassure his shocked community after the conviction of a radicalised Muslim couple for planning bomb attacks on Jewish areas.

“You can’t run your life thinking you might be a victim of a terror attack, and if you did that would mean the terrorists had won,” he said.

BBC:

EDL rally in Dewsbury The alleged target was the EDL, who had held a rally in Dewsbury earlier that day

Three men from Birmingham have appeared in court accused of plotting to attack members of the English Defence League.

Jewel Uddin, 26, Omar Mohammed Khan, 27, and Mohammed Hasseen, 23, all from Sparkhill, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on terror charges.

They were arrested in raids last week after police stopped a car on the M1 and found guns, knives, machetes and a home-made explosive device.

The case has been sent to the Old Bailey for a hearing on 31 July.

Mr Uddin, Mr Khan and Mr Hasseen are charged under the Terrorism Act 2006, accused of preparing for an act or acts of terrorism with the intention of committing such acts.

They are accused of manufacturing an improvised explosive device, as well as acquiring firearms and other weapons, and vehicles connected with their alleged plans.

The arrests, by the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit, followed a routine police stop of a vehicle on the M1 near Sheffield, South Yorkshire, on 30 June.
