'John Whittingdale, the UK culture secretary, has confirmed that the BBC will be stripped of its power to adjudicate on allegations of political bias in its coverage.Speaking at the Conservative party conference in Manchester, he said the public should have confidence that complaints are examined independently and carefully. He said it must no longer be the case "that if you make a complaint against the BBC, the decision on whether it is justified is taken by the BBC".'
'Net migration rose by 50% to 318,000 last year - with sharp increases from inside and outside the EU.A total of 641,000 people moved to the UK in 2014, according to the Office for National Statistics.'
'... A man who sups with the devil but claims no one told him that the horned, red-skinned man at the table was, in fact, the actual devil.'... Corbyn had addressed a party conference meeting of Labour Friends of Israel last week without once actually saying the name of the country.She listed a series of 'conspiracy theorists' Corbyn had met with, including 'the Rev Stephen Sizer and the anti-Semites Paul Eisen and Gilad Atzmon.'Mrs Lipman then added: 'I would be grateful for any evidence that he has ever objected to the anti-Semitic rantings of these "colleagues" or stated his own belief in the legitimacy of the Jewish state.'If he is not anti-Semitic himself then he is more than happy to consort with those who are.''
'Migration cannot be ended as long as there is kufr (unbelief) or as long as there is an enemy that resists" [2]Later Muhammad developed this idea, saying:"Migration will continue until the sun rises from the West. Hijrah would not be stopped until repentance is cut off, and repentance will not be cut off until the sun rises from the West"[3]
So immigration can end only when a community or a country has been won over, and the conquest has been achieved. But Jihad does not end until all the world is Islamic, and Muslims should not stop until Islam dominates the world. '
'Tensions have been particularly high in recent weeks over the long-running issue of access to the al-Aqsa mosque compound in East Jerusalem.Al-Aqsa is one of Islam's holiest sites and is in the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif site also revered by Jews.'
'Tony Blair's Labour government made a mistake in promoting diesel cars as they are now "killing people", former science minister Lord Drayson has said.'
'In 2001, the then Chancellor Gordon Brown introduced lower vehicle tax for diesel cars, on the grounds that they were less polluting.'
'That tax break remains in place today.'
'Transport for London (TfL) dropped the limit from 50 to 30mph in February as it made repairs to the expansion joints.That's late summer 2011, why did this not happen?
...
But TfL will put the limit up to 40mph on the eastbound carriageway on Sunday morning, and on the westbound carriageway one week later. They say it should be back to 50mph by late summer.'
'I don’t like being censored. And this goes to the crux of the matter: whether the ‘Pig-gate’ story – the anecdote in Call Me Dave that caused such a global sensation that it almost broke the Internet – should have been printed at all. I am still in no doubt that it was right to keep it in the book. Whether it would have made the credibility threshold for a newspaper is a side issue. It is in a book, not a newspaper. When I first read it in the manuscript, I certainly noticed it was only single-sourced – but the authors were entirely upfront about that. Contrary to much of the sloppy reporting of the story, it was never presented as fact. I was comfortable with the way it was written up and, more to the point, so were the lawyers.
What would the reaction have been had I insisted it were taken out? Had anyone found out, I’d have been accused of censoring something and protecting my so-called ‘Tory mates’. You’d think from the reaction that Lord Ashcroft and Isabel Oakeshott, aided and abetted by me, had accused the Prime Minister of murder (or something). It is no more than a tale of student high jinks – and the authors leave readers to judge for themselves whether or not it happened.'
'Labour now have:

'Mr McDonnell has praised the actions of thousands of students who took to the streets in 2011 to protest against plans to increase tuition fees.Mr McDonnell has condoned or justified violence throughout his career in Parliament, it emerged this morning.At least three times between 2010 and 2012, he called for 'insurrection' to 'bring down' the government.At a Liverpool conference on March 10 2012, he said:
'There's three ways in which we change society.
'One is through the ballot box, the democratic process and into Parliament.The second is trade union action, industrial action.
The third is basically insurrection, but we now call it direct action'.Don't expect that change [to society] coming from Parliament…we have an elected dictatorship, so I think we have a democratic right to use whatever means to bring this government down. The real fight now is in our communities, it's on the picket lines, it's in the streets.'In a speech in 2011 to a Right-to-Protest rally, he praised rioters who had 'kicked the s***' out of the Conservative Party's headquarters at Millbank Tower in Westminster.And at a 'Lancashire Against Cuts' rally the same year, he defended the student jailed for hurling a fire extinguisher at police from the building's seventh-floor roof, saying he had been 'victimised.'Mr McDonnell said: 'That kid didn't deserve 36 months (sic). Actually, he's not the criminal. The real criminals are the ones that are cutting the education services and increasing the fees… We've got to encourage the direct action, [in] any form it can possibly take.' '
'Speaking on the BBC One Andrew Marr programme, Mr Corbyn defended his shadow chancellor's remarks - revealed in a Sunday Telegraph investigation.He said : 'I think the point John was making is that was at the end of a student demonstration and this person threw a fire extinguisher from a roof - which was a stupid, absolutely wrong thing to do. I think that and I think John does as well.'I think the sentence he got was possibly disproportionate to the crime he committed and I think that is the fundamental point about it.'Mr Corbyn added: 'The coalition government was elected by a minority, as this government has been.'It's not words I use myself, I prefer to fight people in parliamentary terms. I don't believe in any kind of dictatorship, actually, elected or otherwise.'
'And then there is the question of the composition of the migrants. If this movement is indeed a movement of the genuinely dispossessed then why are almost all of them young men? In recent weeks the media has zoomed its cameras in on the occasional woman or child. But they are the rarities. On Lampedusa I saw only young men from sub-Saharan Africa. I saw no women. One of the first things that many of the arrivals did on getting to the island was to buy a SIM card and call home to tell their families that they had made it: families they will end up sending money to if they make any (largely in the underground economy) and whom they will often aim to bring over to join them.'
'Video footage and photographic evidence of British Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn delivering the keynote address at an event dominated by supporters of terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah might result in people thinking he agrees with their aims and methods, analysts reported today (Friday).A 2012 "Al-Quds Day" rally to express opposition to Jewish control of Jerusalem featured the Labor politician as the main speaker, as his organization Stop the War UK was the major sponsor of the event. Hezbollah flags and chants promoting terrorism could be seen and heard throughout the rally, and Corbyn said nothing to indicate his objections.In fact a consistent record of supporting individuals and organizations committed to terrorism throughout his political career – including describing Hamas and Hezbollah as his friends – has the potential to cause observers to conclude that Corbyn, as well, accepts terrorism as a legitimate means of advancing various causes, say experts."Associating publicly with known Holocaust deniers, IRA supporters, and avowed antisemites, while pointedly not calling them out for objectionable behaviors and attitudes, can prompt some to wonder whether such a person harbors sympathies for those odious views," explained political commentator Bedd Fellowes. "It might be a stretch, of course, because how many left-wing politicians have been known to actually side with terrorists?"'
Fatah leader Abbas Zaki speaks on Palestinian Authority television about "the great goal," referring to the goal of destroying Israel. He explains that it is impossible to achieve the "goal in one stroke," but that it would be "great" if Israel were "remove[d] from existence." He goes on to explain that this is not "a [stated] policy" and "you can't say it to the world."
This is a clear of example of the duplicity of PA leaders, who adhere to one position when speaking to foreign audiences, claiming to be seeking peace, but uphold a different position when speaking in Arabic, denying Israel's right to exist and educating the Palestinian people for continued conflict. This video indicates that Fatah may not intend to seriously work towards peace.
Transcipt:
"The agreement is based on the borders of June 4. While the agreement is on the borders of June 4, the President [Mahmoud Abbas] understands, we understand, and everyone knows that it is impossible to realize the inspiring idea, or the great goal in one stroke. If Israel withdraws from Jerusalem, if Israel uproots the settlements, 650,000 settlers, if Israel removes the (security) fence - what will be with Israel? Israel will come to an end. If I say that I want to remove it from existence, this will be great, great, [but] it is hard. This is not a [stated] policy. You can't say it to the world. You can say it to yourself."

'An analysis of photographs the BBC uses to illustrate Europe's migrant crisis has revealed the publicly funded organisation is using mostly pictures of children, despite the actual number of children making the trip being suspiciously low.The United Nations Refugee Agency reported last week there were 72 per cent men, 13 per cent women, and just 15 per cent children making the trip to Europe by sea. This was out of a total of 381,412 people, meaning that 274,616 of those making the trip were men, with just 49,583 women, and 57,211 children.The numbers, updated for this week, claim there are now nearly 80,000 children arriving, and over 305,000 men, and just over 57,000 women.But a Breitbart London analysis of over 200 images used by the BBC on its website shows a staggering 53 per cent of children as the focal points of images, with 36 per cent focused on the men, and just 10 per cent focused on women.By this measure, readers may assume that of the total number of sea arrivals, over 230,000 of them are children – an overestimation pushed by the BBC's narrative of around 150,000.The BBC also presents an underestimated image of how many men are making the trip, with its images implying just 160,000 of the migrants are men, an underestimation of around 145,000 people.The skewed results will raise questions over the BBC's coverage of the migrant crisis, alongside its obligation for neutrality, accuracy, and balance as set out in the BBC Trust's Charter.'
'... but what about the feelings of the three million Muslims who live in America? How is it going to feel to have a serious political figure, someone who aspires to lead this nation, essentially saying being Muslim is un-American?These people who day in, day out serve their communities, support their families, enrich the lives of fellow citizens and make America the successful melting pot that it is. Kids who recite the pledge of allegiance in the morning at their schools and go to their mosque or church or synagogue in the evening at the weekend?'
'Khan also backed claims that Corbyn's links with Palestinian terror groups could fuel anti-Semitism in the UK.Asked to comment on Corbyn's Hamas and Hezbollah connections, he said Labour had to ditch its 'anti-Jewish' image, which was not acceptable' in Britain.Khan said there was a direct link between Middle East tension and anti-Semitic attacks in London, saying synagogues and Jewish schools in London needed 24-hour guards as a result.'
'Lady Tonge said she had known Mr Corbyn for a long time, sharing support for Palestine and meeting Hamas leaders on a joint trip to Gaza."I marched alongside Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn, one on either side. I went to Gaza with Jeremy Corbyn and we met Hamas leaders together. We go back," she said.'
"How, as a socialist, can you not be an anti-Semite?" Adolf Hitler asked his party members in 1920. No one thought it an odd question. Anti-Semitism was at that time widely understood to be part of the broader revolutionary movement against markets, property and capital....... Karl Marx himself,... The grandson of two rabbis, he disliked all religions, but reserved a vehemence for Judaism that we never find in his writings on Christianity – about which he could be rather sentimental, though he deplored its corruption by the "Jewish spirit". In 1844, the odious cadger wrote: The essence of Judaism and the root of the Jewish soul is expediency and self-interest; the God of Israel is Mammon, who expresses himself in the lust for money. Judaism is the embodiment of anti-social attitudes.'
'The National Health Service will crash within two years with catastrophic consequences unless the government orders an immediate multibillion pound cash injection, the former minister in charge of care services says.The stark assessment from Norman Lamb, minister of state at the Department of Health until May's general election, comes as fears mount among senior NHS officials, care providers and local authorities that NHS and care services are approaching breaking point.'
'GENEVA, September 20, 2015 – U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power and EU foreign minister Federica Mogherini should condemn and work to reverse the appointment of Saudi Arabia as head of a key UN Human Rights Council panel that selects top officials who shape international human rights standards and report on violations worldwide, said UN Watch, a non-governmental watchdog organization based in Geneva."It is scandalous that the UN chose a country that has beheaded more people this year than ISIS to be head of a key human rights panel," said UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer. "Petro-dollars and politics have trumped human rights.""Saudi Arabia has arguably the worst record in the world when it comes to religious freedom and women's rights, and continues to imprison the innocent blogger Raif Badawi," Neuer added."This UN appointment is like making a pyromaniac into the town fire chief, and underscores the credibility deficit of a human rights council that already counts Russia, Cuba, China, Qatar and Venezuela among its elected members."'
'As BBC Watch, UK MediaWatch, Daphne Anson, Harry's Place, Elder of Ziyon and many other pro Israel blogs detail, day in, day out, the BBC determinedly under-reports the malevolence and deviousness of Israel's enemies and gives too many platforms, unchallenged, to their activists and propagandists.
