Someone turn out the lights in Great Britain.
News like this just proves how dead and buried their society is.
Seriously, there should be protests over stuff like this.
Instead, Islamic Terrorists will continue to successfully plant their agents in the ranks of the British security forces.
{i}”The broadcast media, and the BBC in particular, stick to the politically correct text on most issues because it safely protects them from criticism. The BBC can endlessly promote mass immigration against the wishes of its licence fee payers with impunity, but as soon as one Panorama programme pointed to some downsides of mass immigration, it was attacked by the government and left-wing press as being ‘Powellite’.”{/i}
The British broadcast media, and the BBC in particular, is controlled by strict rules regarding fairness and balance of opinions. However the fact that the Panorama programme was broadcast (I didn’t see it) by the BBC shows they aren’t scared of a bit of criticism and going against the PC brigade when they feel like it.
However to single out the broadcast media and the BBC in particular to demonstrate that Britain is being brainwashed into PC culture overlooks the enormous role in British culture that the tabloid media plays. From what I see of US news shows there is also a lot of opinion provided by the hosts, this simply doesn’t happen in British broadcast media, we don’t have an Olberman talking directly to camera on what he thinks of a situation.
The news shows report the news and the British public generally gets it’s opinion from the tabloid media which is almost universally anti-PC, frequently offensive, biased against foreigners and virtually free to print lies and major distortions with little chance of comeback due to our libel laws. The two left wing papers are broadsheets and the least read of any of the major publications.
For example a few months ago The Sun (the biggest selling paper in Britain) printed this story...
“MUSLIM yobs who wrecked a house to stop four brave soldiers moving in after returning from Afghanistan sparked outrage last night.
The house in a village near riot-torn Windsor had BRICKS thrown through windows and was DAUBED with messages of hate.
Four young Household Cavalry officers who had planned to rent it were also the target of phone THREATS.
They were yesterday forced to look elsewhere to live — after top brass warned them against inflaming racial violence near the Queen’s Windsor Castle home.”
They had no evidence it was Muslims, in fact the area was predominently white with only about 40 muslims living in the whole town. It later transpired that the soldiers weren’t wanted in the area because the local white residents didn’t want the value of their $1m houses to fall by having a bunch of army lads move in next door. Of course there was never any admission or apology of this error by the Sun.
We already know. Look at any Muslim country. It's infrastructure is entirely maintained by outsiders.
When we invaded Iraq, most people had no running water or electricity.
