BBC Runs Heart-Wrenching "Documentary" About a Young Boy's Struggle to Surive in the Israeli-Made Warzone of Gaza... Without Ever Disclosing This Boy is the Son of Hamas's Minister of Agriculture
I'm stunned. The world makes no sense any longer. All the world's colors have faded to ash and the even the singing of the birds is strange and hateful to me now.Deadline Hollywood:
The BBC has apologized and added a clarification to its Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone documentary that featured the son of a Hamas minister, after nearly 50 entertainment figures sent a letter to the corporation to urge an investigation.Oh, it's a clarification. They had to clarify your stupid Zionist assumption that this was an independently-produced and objective documentary. I'm sure their apology is very sincere.
The BBC "had not been informed of this information" by the independent producers behind the doc, the corporation added, following backlash from dozens of senior entertainment figures including former BBC controller Danny Cohen, J.K. Rowling's agent Neil Blair, agent Anita Land and ex-Got Talent commissioner Claudia Rosencrantz. The letter was sent to Director General Tim Davie, content chief Charlotte Moore and BBC News boss Deborah Turness earlier today, urging an investigation after the documentary about children in Gaza that failed to declare that the lead contributor was the son of Hamas royalty.
Whoops! Whoopsie!
Jake Kanter
@Jake_Kanter Oh dear, this is a major blunder. The BBC admits it did not know that the child protagonist in documentary Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone was the son of Hamas royalty. It blames the independent producer for not sharing this info during editorial checks. Is it fair for the BBC to throw the independent producer under the bus? I suspect many will conclude not. This film was commissioned by a team of seasoned current affairs filmmakers/journalists who sit under BBC News CEO Deborah Turness.
George Costanza, a BBC executive funded by a grant from The Human Fund (in turn funded by USAID) emailed me: "Was that wrong? Because, I gotta tell you, I ran a lot of Hamas-produced 'documentaries' at other leftwing state media propaganda outlets, and they were okay with it. If anyone had said something to me..." And prepare for another shock: Hamas is already attempting to bomb Israeli buses filled with kids and other civilians again:
Jake Kanter
@Jake_Kanter Here's a statement from Danny Cohen, the former BBC television chief turned BBC interrogator-in-chief, who has been consistently raising concerns about anti-Israeli bias in Gaza crisis coverage.

ACTUALLY, non-decimal systems are more in tune with traditional economies based on actual coinage. Britain rose to be a world power using pounds and shillings, then went away from it and adopted the Euro, which completely wrecked them.
Brexit was too little, too late.

That was because guineas were gold... they were originally one pound, but the price of gold went up relative to silver (which was the standard metal for the UK... pounds sterling and all that).

"Avoirdupois is from Middle English avoir de pois, goods sold by weight, from Old French aveir de peis, literally, goods of weight, from aveir, property, goods (from aveir, to have, from Latin habere,
to have, to hold, to possess property) + de, from (from the Latin) + peis, weight (from Latin pensum, weight).
So yes, grain was the weight of a grain of wheat back in the day.

Brexit would have been much harder if they’d been on the Euro.

The Brits were wary of a currency union after that. History has shown they were right to do that, IMO.

Same reason we opened our borders and let everyone including Muslims in, this was a coordinated plan by the WEF/UN globalists to erase national borders and install a world government. Money and power.
When it keeps happening over and over it ceases to be a conspiracy theory and just a fact.

They claimed the mass firings violated the separation of powers doctrine.
How's that, you may wonder?
By not fully staffing the agencies, the Executive branch is "hobbl[ing] the federal agencies that Congress creates, to which Congress assigns statutory missions, and which Congress funds so that they may accomplish those legislative directives."
Get that?
It's not the Chief Executive, it's the Chief Administrator.
Of course, the judge didn't dismiss their suit because it's fucking bizzaro world, and unconstitutional.

I think with rare exception that has always been the case throughout history.
I don't know why. Maybe it's a Brit belief that people have to be born into something, so family lines and heredity become paramount. When a kid grows up in a peerage and has a title, the snobbery comes immediately after.
I mean, the heir to the throne marrying a commoner?!?! How horrible !

No, it wasn't. The old nobility understood its obligations and sent its sons to die for king and country. As for marrying commoners, Edward IV famously married the daughter of a mere knight, Elizabeth Woodville. Henry VIII was very egalitarian in his marriage choices.

I may have a bias in that my belief that a hereditary monarchy is itself a form of insult against the commoners. So there's that anyway.
And I firmly believe that if not outright hate, there did and does exist a very significant disdain for the Just Plain Folk with pretty deep roots. My read of their history, and really history of other nations, gives me the opinion that the opinion of the elite has baselined to "the common people just don't matter."
Reasonable people can disagree of course.

If you were Catholic under Henry VIII, well, R.I.P.
And under Mary, if you were Protestant, well, R.I.P.
All of that because Henry wanted to divorce Catherine and the Pope wouldn't countenance it.
I take the point that there have been exceptions of course. Maybe we just disagree on the scope of those exceptions, or if those are even exceptions.
