BBC branding regiment murderers.

[Malt 379]

Has anyone heard of the new Panorama programe due to be shown on Monday night? In it, the BBC accuses our most highly decorated army regiment of knowingly and systematically murdering prisoners of war; in particular I believe they make referance to two instances where men were executed (shot in the head) with 9mm pistols and another where a teenage male was garotted.

 

I believe these alegations (dispicable if they are true) are made on the strength of complaints are are founded on very little evidence.

 

What does the BBC hope to gain by attacking our soldiers in this way? It serves ne purpose than to put heavilly stressed and over worked soldiers in an even more horrible situation; to be accused publicly of such things by the nation they serve.

 

Our soldier ARE the best trained and most disciplined of all, they are the hardest worked and deserve much more respect from the media and public alike.

 

If indeed there is any foundation to these allegations, then they aught to be delt with in the correct manner, NOT in a public show and witch hunt like this. The farce of the "non" trail of Col Mendonca last year draged many through the mill for no reason, cost mush anguish and tax payers money and was nothing but a show.

 

Surely the BBC are slumping to the same levels as some of the tabloid press do with other stories?

 

The BBC have been shedding their respectibility for a while. Don't you know that for sometime, that the letters BBC, stood for the Bagdad Broadcasting Corperation? They have been so anti Britain that its hard to believe. Just listen to the way they talk about Islamic terrorists. They don't even call them terrorists, they call them millitants. When I was a kid, they used the same terms for Arthur Skargill and the picketing miners. Are they trying to liken the likes of Bin Laden to Skargill?

I suspect they are just a bunch of far too liberal yougurt knitting tw#ts; but I was sure the BBC meant Broadcast Bullshit & Comunism......but you are right, they really are so far "against" Britisness and Britain its unreal.

its about time the bbc was closed down.

 

That’s just oppression and censorship, let the people make their own minds up please.

The BBC are one of the best funded "impartial" networks in the world. They get a mandatory subscription from every TV owner in Britain and non-payers are pursued with more vigour than the local smack dealer.

 

The majority of the stuff they do is quality viewing but more and more shit is allowed through. As it's very fashionable to slag off the involvement in Iraq, you'll see more of this kind of "news" as the days roll on.

 

I don't agree with British involvement in Iraq. I never have, but it's wrong to slag off the soldiers. They're doing what they're ordered to do. The criticism should be aimed at the Labour government, who sent them to this war they could never win. The same government that won't admit Gulf War Syndrome exists and won't pay decent pensions to ex-British servicemen. The same government that will open it's borders to others in need, yet will allow ex-servicemen to sleep on the streets as a thank you for their courage. These are the issues I want to see tackled by the BBC and the rest of the left wing press.

 

Closing down the BBC would indeed be a blow to free media but allowing this kind of documentary to go unchallenged is also a form of censorship. Unfortunately the OSA forbids the people actually there from talking about what happens.

........as for the OSA, its a farce; I myself am subject to it and find it ludicrous...............

Don't get me wrong here. If individual soldiers are committing atrocities then they need punishing to the full extent of military and civilian law. Just following orders didn't work at Nuremburg and is no defence for anyone. Evidence first though.

 

The full blame for all of this lies at the hands of Mr Blair and now his unelected successor Mr Brown. End of.

Personnally in a war situation if you have known enemy who is living by a code"Koran" saying"kill the infidels christians and jews" and "lying to an infidel is not lying",and this clown has shot and killed your comrades why not shoot him he ll always be an enemy ,no rehabilitation,no punishment by judical inquiry,no way of purosely using him tomilitary advantage as he ll lie.Then assasination is a good and morally,in military campaigns,option as available.

Or we ll go all emotional deport him over here and put him in hotel,sorry prison,and feed and look after him to a level which is paradise to him.

That's what makes us better than the savages.

 

The fact that we have rules of engagement. Internationally recognised systems of fair play.

 

If we wish to be perceived as true and just then we uphold this, no matter what the enemy stoop to.

 

If we do it the way they do then we're no better.

[owdnorthener 13]

Yep I think that in the end it all boils down to money and power

 

Yes correct ! Our money gives them power over us all and we have no say in it.

FIRE WITH FIRE THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WESTERN STANDARDS AND SEE IT AS WEEKNESS,AND IT IS THATS WHY THEY WIN CAUSE WE ARE ALL PC

[ChrisJones 7,975]

We are strong because of our standards.

 

If we fight with fire we might as well live in the sand dunes and f**k camels. The British Army is much better than that.
