There isn't a single MP - not a single MP - who stands up in Parliament and speaks up clearly and consistently against PC multiculturalist dogma. Not one! <br /><br />So the person with the right CV must lie outside Parliament. I am impressed by Anne Marie Waters' political honesty but I am still not sure she has the whole skill set. If she can prove me wrong I will be very, very happy. <br /><br />And yes, of course, you are right about the craven attitude to the Saudis - our mortal enemies. Essentially the West has spent 70 years providing them with the money to buy the sword to drive into our heart and finish us off. <br /><br />Instead of pursuing energy independence we have been wasting trillions on unwinnable wars. What a stupid policy! <br /><br />I think increasingly that Trump is leading us in the right direction. Again, you won't hear a single MP say that is true.

And I'm not sure it's possible to cower before Shia and Sunni Islam at the same time. Or perhaps it can be done with a bit of effort.<br /><br /><br />"Is that what this country has come to?"<br /><br />Hope not. But I fear it soon will unless a Brit of true grit and Trumpian disregard for political correctness will rise up and lead the country out of the extraordinary mess it's in. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />TrueToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610777629936007816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-17718335215412599172018-05-11T18:25:44.214+01:002018-05-11T18:25:44.214+01:00Monkey Brains, that was indeed pathetic analysis f...Monkey Brains, that was indeed pathetic analysis from Marcus. Seems he was scouting around for the mildest possible words to describe Iran's attitude towards Israel.<br /><br />"Antipathy?" in fact Iran is like a prowling beast intent on springing at Israel's throat and only deterred by the demonstration of Israeli and US power.<br /><br />"Removal?" Iran is in fact intent on the utter destruction of the Jewish state.<br /><br />The BBC has no excuse for not knowing these facts. The Nazi swine who govern Iran have made their intentions quite clear. they have tortured and murdered Iranian Jews suspected of supporting Israel and they use the most foul language possible in their verbal attacks on the country.<br /><br />Well, I guess it comforts Marcus to imagine that the proximity to Israel of Iranian military units and advisers is just an innocent byproduct of its involvement in the Syrian civil war. Or perhaps his timid approach to the truth of Iran's intentions is the best anyone can do as part of a 'media' organization under the yoke of the unholy alliance between the far left and radical Islam.

The BBC has been bashing Israel for decades, because of its ignorant perception of Israel as a colonial power bent on oppressing the poor Palestinians but also because Israel is the Jewish state.

Look at this part:<br /><br />"There is little doubting Iran's fundamental antipathy towards Israel or its desire for the removal of the Jewish State. It has long supported radical groups opposed to Israel but now, because of its involvement in the war in Syria, it finds itself potentially on Israel's northern border." <br /><br />Why does he pull his punches and say "There is little doubting..."? So there are some doubts? What doubts could there possibly be? It's official Iranian government policy. Why not just state clearly that it is Iran's policy to destroy the Jewish state of Israel and incorporate it into a Muslim-majority state of Palestine in furtherance of its ultimate objective of establishing a global Shia Caliphate. <br /><br />And the radical groups Iran funds are not just "opposed" to Israel, they want it wiped from the map. <br /><br />And now, according to the BBC, Iran just happens to "find itself" sitting on Israel's border. As if Iran hasn't known all the time this would be the outcome of a successful defence of Assad's regime! You have to understand Shia Islam is very much into the "end of days" approach to life, so there are many Mullahs prepared to actively pursue a strategy of confrontation with Israel and are only too glad to "find themselves" on the effective border with Israel.

Th...“Today” this morning went far beyond mere bias. This was deliberate misinformation. The Iranian academic made a whole series of inflammatory statements that passed completely unchallenged by Humphrys, who then went on to make a few of his own. Now it would seem that not only do have to accept that everything that comes from a Palestinian source is unquestionably true, but the same also applies to Iran. Quite an irony that Netanyahu should be branded a liar by Iran, who have lied consistently about almost everything. Somehow Humphries missed this point. I wonder why?<br /><br />The BBC has finally got around to accepting (grudgingly) that there is a problem with anti-Semitism in certain sections of the left. Yet It seems, as an organisation unable to understand that they bear a huge responsibility for creating the climate in which it has flourished.Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-12236879499972334192018-05-10T11:31:48.416+01:002018-05-10T11:31:48.416+01:00You hit the nail firmly on the head with the follo...You hit the nail firmly on the head with the following:<br /><br />"The real catastrophe, of course, was the Arabs’ refusal to accept a tiny Jewish majority state in their midst and their disastrous decision to try to eradicate it, motivated purely by their virulently antisemitic religious beliefs.
