BBC apologises after Robert Jenrick accused of xenophobia
A contributor to Radio 4's Thought for the Day slot made the remark about the shadow justice secretary.
'Honest Bob' Jenrick, a politician obviously & deliberately embracing xenophobia, does some weapons grade xenophobia & the BBC *apologises* for a Thought For The Day contributor calling it xenophobic. Licence fee payers need to know who makes these decisions & why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sheโs absolutely correct. The focus and over reporting on crimes committed by minorities not only does a huge disservice to the victims, it also perpetuates the myth that minorities are more crime prone when all evidence tells us thatโs just not the case.

Here come the Starmer fanboys to drop their usual banal abuse.
Outsourcing is there to transfer public money into private hands. He is a liar, and it's funny to see people supporting a crook accuse someone else of having no morals.

As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022.

The killings of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa by the IDF is a war crime. They are civilians. The IDF must provide evidence of the terrorist claims, and explain why an entire tent was targeted when they would know other civilians would be present.
