SELECTIVE NEWS GATHERING BY THE BBC.

We, in Britain, in the last week, have witnessed some of the most disgraceful news reporting in the history of British television, regarding pop singer, Sir Cliff Richard, currently on holiday at his vineyard in Portugal. During his absence, the South Yorkshire Police decided to follow up an historical child abuse claim involving Sir Cliff. The author has no opinion regarding the claim, not having any information on the situation, but neither has the BBC. This, however, did not stop them sending a camera team to the latter's English residence to await the arrival of, not only more police personnel, but more police vehicles than I have seen proper police, coppers on the beat, for the whole of the year. So who tipped them off? Here we have a situation whereby a person will be tried by the media. Had one of the popular newspapers acted in this manner, the BBC would have referred to it for days.

By comparison, the story of a Labour MP for Birmingham Ladywood, Shabana Mahmood, who was involved in a protest over the weekend against supermarkets selling Israeli goods, evidently using YouTube to that effect. This can only mean that she is opposed to things Jewish, which is against international law. Miss Mahmood, who happens to be a front bench spokesperson in the opposition ranks, Labour; a party led by Ed 'Thoroughly Modern' Miliband, a Jew. Not a word from the Beeb, the broadcasting arm of the party.

The tragedy of all this confusion in the Middle East, which some might say has been going on for 2000 years, is that groups such as Hamas were jumping up and down with excitement at the news of 'nine/eleven'. Although they are different from the new threat in Iraq, the Islamic State, who appear determined to eradicate anyone who isn't Sunni Muslim.

CAN ANYONE SEE AN END IN SIGHT?
