Eight People Killed in Channel Tunnel This Month Alone

[threegee]

Last night it was a Sudanese, and as ever the EU-bought-and-paid-for BBC is totally silent on the matter!

Will they try to cover up the first British casualties too?

The official immigration figures - incredible though they may be - are a total fiction. The sad truth is the government hasn't a clue who and what is in the country!

The Bbc covered it extensively on the morning news, pretty much to the obliteration of everything else.

Not the deaths, they slip by unreported. But the core problem is no longer something that even the Beeb can ignore.

 

And, remember this?  (The Guardian - of course)

 

 

...

 

"It took me six hours and 15 minutes in the car to get here. It should have taken three and a half to four,” he later said. "That has nothing to do with professionalism. What is does have to do with is a country in which the population is going through the roof, chiefly because of open-door immigration, and the fact the M4 is not as navigable as it used to be.

 

"In all these years in Ukip, that's probably about the third event out of a thousand that I haven't made in time,” he told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme.

 

His comments were dismissed as absurd by the shadow Welsh secretary, Labour's Owen Smith, who said: "Remarks like these are what makes Farage so dangerous.”

 

Smith added: "It is clearly absurd to suggest heavy traffic on the M4 is caused by immigration, but through the laughter at his silly comments you can hear Ukip's dog-whistle politics of division.”

 

Wonder where the independent clear-thinking Owen Smith is now?  In fact just how independent was he before he made these remarks?

 

Owen began his career as a BBC journalist, where he worked for ten years on network radio and television programmes, including BBC Radio 4's 'Today'.

 

Something that The Guardian forgot to tell its readers then?  But doubtless he's a good Welsh socialist nevertheless, with a position on immigration not in the slightest tainted by international corporatism, or any thought of personal reward?  Except...

 

Owen worked for five years in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals industry, latterly as a Director and member of the UK and Ireland Board of Amgen, the global biotechnology company.

 

And, where is he today?  Well, giving tacit approval to Cameron's butcher welfare bill despite howls of protest from the people who voted him back.  The excuse for voting against his constituent's solid wishes:

 

The only people who would have benefit from such a massive split in the Labour Party are the Tories, Nationalists, Lib Dems and UKIP, parties who want to see Labour defeated.

 

So, party and self first, constituents and country a very poor second.  And, when the heat gets too great... https://www.facebook.com/owensmithlabour

 

Any wonder principled Corbyn is way ahead in constituency polls!

The deaths were reported openly on BBC Breakfast, about four times an hour, all morning. There was even an on site report that covered it in detail, with numbers. I'm no BBC superfan, but you're wrong to state the desths went unreported.

[threegee]

I too am a very regular BBC radio listener on my mobile phone, and generally have News 24 on in the background here too.  Nine deaths were mentioned YESTERDAY but only because it was Nigel Farage who pointed them out in interview. On that particular bulletin the BBC mentioned the overnight death and no history. Prior to that I've never heard any mention at all on the BBC, but have seen regular mentions in other media.

 

There does not seem to be much of an overall "master plan" to distort, and the objectivity does vary a lot depending on the individual editor, but there is a culture of not telling the unvarnished truth when the truth doesn't coincide with a left-wing liberal narrative.  There is certainly a "master plan" with reference to "man-made climate change" though.  Much recent contradictory evidence is being excluded from reporting.

 

I noticed this dance with truth most recently in the lack of reporting of the the race of the Aylesbury rape gang. On the rare occasions when skirting around the facts was becoming farcical the information was introduced in ambiguous terms.

 

It's not as if many BBC people themselves don't recognise this. But, they have excuses:

 

Former political editor Andrew Marr argued in 2006 that the liberal bias of the BBC is the product of the types of people the Corporation employs, and is thus cultural not political.^[8] In 2011, Peter Oborne wrote in his Daily Telegraph blog, "Rather than representing the nation as a whole, it [the BBC] has become a vital resource – and sometimes attack weapon – for a narrow, arrogant Left-Liberal elite".^[12]

 

Maybe it wouldn't be "product of the types of people the Corporation employs" if they could bring themselves to place their job adverts in a major circulation newspaper, and not in commercially failing, minority interest, Guardian!  But, with the BBC now stacked out from floor to floor with Guardianistas would normal people ever get past the job interview these days?

 

By far the most popular and widely read newspapers at the BBC are The Guardian and The Independent. ­Producers refer to them routinely for the line to take on ­running stories, and for inspiration on which items to cover. In the later stages of my career, I lost count of the number of times I asked a producer for a brief on a story, only to be handed a copy of The Guardian and told 'it's all in there'.

"Ideological Sheepdip” - couldn't have put it better myself!

"Nine deaths were mentioned YESTERDAY but only because it was Nigel Farage who pointed them out in interview."

 

It had nothing to do with Nigel Farage; I understand you're pushing your BBC bias blah blah blah agenda here, and fair enough, but it might be better if you did it factually, and accepted that - as I have pointed out - the BBC DID mention the deaths when reporting the situation a couple of days ago in a repeated bulletin on the morning Breakfast programme, at least four times an hour, to the point where it became rather tedious. I'm surprised, in fact, they didn't go on to tell us what the poor bloke whose death the night before they were openly reporting had for breakfast.

 

"There is certainly a "master plan" with reference to "man-made climate change" though.  Much recent contradictory evidence is being excluded from reporting."

 

I agree, but it's hardly limited to the BBC. Furthermore, I don't see how it can be dismissed that the vast population of earth has NOT had an effect on the climate; the controversy is as to how much of an effect - in other words, not the drastic catastrophe that certain areas of science are/have predicted. It will remain a controveersial area until we actually know what's going on; the fact there are contradictory views and evidence says we don't.

We didn't stop them last time because of bad decisions made by the commanding elite......
