No Other Land

11:15 tonight, Channel 4. Channel 4 denies the allegations of the people to whom the lickspittle BBC capitulated by removing its most important documentary this century, Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone, which thankfully may still be watched here. There are two groups of half of one per cent of the population with that kind of clout. As to the other one, at this moment BBC One is showing a drama in which a uniformed schoolgirl is played by a 24-year-old man.

If Abdullah al-Yazouri's father was the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, then what of it? His father's duties hardly compared to the torture chambers of Sheikh Hasina's Awami Leaguewhich Hasina's niece, Tulip Siddiq, has represented officially at and to the United Nations. Right-wing Labourites are normally very particular indeed about having links only to narrowly defined "sister parties" abroad. The Awami League is not one of those. It is not even nominally Socialist, or anything like that. If Siddiq is a member of it, then how is that compatible with membership of the Labour Party? Yet the Awami League has huge influence over the Labour Party in Camden. And the Labour Whip in the House of Commons still extends to Siddiq, just as the Labour Whip in the House of Lords still extends to Iain McNicol.

    1. Well, look who it has to answer to. The bias of that Select Committee was off the charts.
