Thought police
ON the very day a second asylum seeker from the Bell Hotel in Epping was charged with sex offences, the BBC chose to broadcast a diatribe branding anyone concerned by illegal migration as “xenophobic”.
Radio 4’s flagship Today show took particular aim at Tory Robert Jenrick, effectively declaring him racist for saying illegal migrants potentially posed a risk to his daughter and other kids.
The BBC has been caught out by its own rank institutional bias
Within hours, the Thought for the Day speech by refugee campaigner Dr Krish Kandiah was taken down and edited.
Once again, as with broadcasting Bob Vylan’s antisemitic rants at Glastonbury, the BBC has been caught out by its own rank institutional bias.
Did no one think twice about the smearing of millions of Brits worried about the possible consequences of allowing 50,000 illegal migrants — mostly young men from backward countries with medieval attitudes towards women — into our country?
Not least as The Sun revealed hundreds of crimes have been committed by asylum seekers in hotels.
Dr Kandiah is perfectly entitled to his own views about people he considers to be refugees fleeing persecution.
But to wrongly accuse those who disagree with him of racism was the kind of puerile rubbish the BBC should never have broadcast.
A sorry state
IT’S ironic that a Government which holds human rights so close to its heart is now presiding over a country in which they’ve got demonstrably worse.
The US State Department report into Britain’s unnecessary downward spiral towards state control is a sobering read.
Censorship of citizens is now “routine” it says. Brits also suffer from “serious restrictions on freedom of expression”.
It’s not hard to see why Americans think this about us.
Cops spend more time policing social media than the streets.
Post online about going to an asylum hotel protest and you’re almost guaranteed a visit from Plod.
The Online Safety Act — designed to protect children — has ended up attacking free speech instead.
As JD Vance has said, Britain has taken a “dark path” against freedoms.
Why-aye, wet
IT’S another Jimmy Nail in the coffin of common sense.
TV series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, about hard-drinking Geordie brickies in the 1980s, has been needlessly slapped with a trigger warning.
What do the wet telly bosses really think will happen to us if we hear outdated language from 45 years ago?
They should stop treating us like kids — and let us think for ourselves.
