Hysterical hypocrisy and nonsense from the media.

Waheed Ahmed, the 21-year-old son of a Labour Councillor, is one of nine Britons who have been held by Turkish security officials are attempting to enter Syria illegally.

The hypocrites of the media, this time the Guardian, make great headlines about a "Labour Councillors son" being one of nine British people arrested trying to cross the border into Syria and going on to repeat the now usual rhetoric about Muslim radicalisation, Islamic extremism and the now obligatory fear mongering nonsense so popular with politicians and those with a hidden agenda. It is as if we are being subjected to preparation for some sort of crusade against the whole Muslim world and any story which promotes those ends will be used as justification for measures which meet the objective. How strange it is then, that a story which I published only last week reporting on the activities of Dr. Adam Osborne, younger brother of George Osborne remains in the shadows presumably in the hope that we will forget and the matter will go away. The media barons have always manipulated the news to suit their own particular political bias and these two stories alone, demonstrate how the warped minds of media moguls can distort facts and make being a Labour Councillors "son who may be", thinking about doing something", a greater and more newsworthy "story" than being the brother of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and involved in some dubious activities.
The list of allegations against Osborne Minor were documented in the “Mail on line” on the 29th March 2015, include that he had a two-year sexual affair with a vulnerable woman patient, Elitemed, the private company he co-owns with his wife Rahala Noor, is worth just £551, had £71 in the bank and owed creditors £7,337. In 2010 Osborne was suspended over claims which centered on his relationship with a cocaine-addicted prostitute and after studying medicine at Manchester University, he became a junior doctor at the city’s Wythenshawe Hospital, a job he was forced to quit after the allegations of handing out falsified prescriptions. He went on to practice as a private psychiatrist in Marylebone, Central London. Add to this the fact that Osborne Minor converted to Islam and taking the name Mohammed before his marriage.



Dr Adam Osborne
Adam Osborne. guilty of misleading and dishonest behaviour








Clearly, the fact that someone thinks about doing something is incredibly more important and newsworthy, particularly if that someone happens to be the son of a Labour Councillor.
Hypocrisy and cynicism are the hallmarks of the media.

In the latest twist to this story, police have today raided the home of the Councillor are searching the premises. ! Hysterical nonsense, fueled by the desire to find another snippet of excuse to justify a crusade against the Muslim world.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
