Get rid of Corbyn and you will get a Corbyn clone, or if you're lucky a soggy leftist who is only moderately pro-Palestinian, but extremely pro-Sharia. What is really threatening Jewish people in the UK is not really the socialist sectarians who shade into anti-semitism, but the demographic shift going on in this country which is making Sharia more and more mainstream in the UK. <br /><br />Even if the BBC were suddenly to start producing "balanced" programming re the Israel-Palestine dispute, it would only be "balanced". It would not be pro-Israel. Meanwhile more and more supporters of Sharia will find influence in our leading political parties, in the judiciary, in the police and so on. <br /><br />Also, the culture of political correctness and opposition to free speech, which sadly the British Board has tended to support, makes any challenge to Sharia very difficult to mount.

The BBC has formed a view and taken sides. Given the culture they have created, I’m not sure how any BBC editor , correspondent or journalist could change tack and keep their job and internal credibility intact. <br /><br />Witness today’s story on comments by Lord Sacks about Corbyn’s anti-semitism. When reporting it, the BBC have been hard at work manipulating balance, the running order and use of words and in every case have ended with a strong rebuff of his comments saying it’s absurd and out of context and nothing like ‘the rivers of blood’ speech. <br /><br />Unfortunately it’s those last important sentences that stay in the minds of viewers, listeners and readers. <br /><br />It’s a classic propaganda trick and they use it all the time to create almost unconscious bias.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341313534441507081noreply@blogger.com
