By Their Friends Ye Shall (Not) Know Them
>> Saturday, December 12, 2009
Every time that the Conservatives are mentioned in regards to the European Parliament, for example, BBC reporters dust off the Labour briefing sheet about their political allies despite those slurs having been extensively debunked elsewhere. So you'd think that, for the sake of balance, when a party allied to Labour from EU aspirant Turkey is banned for consorting with terrorists, that might mention a small paragraph towards the end of the BBC article?
Deputies from Turkey’s main Kurdish party have said today they will quit their parliament after the group was banned by the Constitutional Court. The court voted on Friday to disband the Democratic Society Party (DTP), finding it guilty of cooperating with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) separatist guerrillas.
It's so strange that there isn't a single mention in the BBC article that these are Labour’s Turkish buddies. If it'd been any of the Tories' mates banned for consorting with terrorists it would have been a very different story.

The BBc loves Liebour and the EU (both give it loads of money). The BBC hates the Tories.
Enough said really.
Can't really argue with that summary, to be fair.
The following passes by the BBC's pro-Turkey/EU politics:

Very true. It's got well beyond a joke now.
We all agree it happens, we all agree it';s wrong, we all fulminate about here and on other blogs. However what can we do about it?
There's really only one other thing that will make any difference, civil disobedience. In the case of the BBC this means not paying the licence fee with all that it entails.
i think nhe feels the game is up, and also let down by his 'buddies,' who promised him his presdency and then didn't deliver.
i wonder if he is running the gauntlet? surely he knows better than to cross his pay masters, surely he isn't holding them to disclosure ransom?
i don't think he is, but he's definately not playing their game right now, and i recon that is because he is pissed that his ass isn't in the el euro presidente chair.
He realises that he's been screwed over by the reppies, and is now looking for redemption.
