Sky News used to be a reasonable alternative to the constant leftist preaching of the BBC. It wasn’t perfect, after all what news organisation truly is, but it gave the impression to the viewer that it was more dynamic in the way it covered stories and was markedly different in style and story choices to the BBC offering. Sky News was never as overtly conservative as say Fox News is, but it did appear to me much more centrist, open minded and more willing to challenge some Leftist ideas than some other broadcasters would have done.
However, that was then back when Sky News was the upstart of the news gathering world. Fast forward to today and Sky seems to be intent on putting out the same old disingenuous guff as the BBC would do about things like the migrant invasion that is causing so much trouble to the nations of Europe.
I read a story from their site that boiled my blood such was the dishonest way that the story was covered and how the headline was written. In an article about the unwanted and dangerous migrants encamped near the French port of Calais, Sky News used the following headline: “Desperate migrants storm UK-bound trucks outside Calais” which gives the impression that the invaders of Calais are, because they are ‘desperate’ and in need, deserve our sympathy. Well these invaders don’t deserve the sympathy of Britain or any other Western nation.
The vast majority of these invaders are parasites nothing more. They have left shithole countries often on false papers, with false stories and false claims that they are ‘oppressed’ and they seem dead intent on recreating the shitholes they came from in places like the UK. They are often not even that peaceful. Unfortunately, as has been shown by the growing number of terror attacks and other crimes committed by these often Islamic invaders, these people are not fleeing oppression, in fact they are regularly bringing the violent oppression of Islam with them.
Many of them merely want to come to Britain, where there is no requirement for a national identification card as in other European countries, in order to exploit its public services and welfare system and foment and preach jihad. For example both the Manchester bomber and the alleged Parsons Green bomber were both Muslim ‘refugees’ that the United Kingdom took in and for that kindness we have been repaid with violence and hatred. The only people ‘desperate’ about these ‘migrants’ are the British people who fear their arrival and the legitimate users of the Calais port. ?
The use of the word ‘desperate’ by Sky both in the headline and in the main body of the article, is highly emotive and it’s use is dishonest. It makes these invaders look as if they are deserving of anything other than a swift boot up the arse or immediate removal to whatever Islamic crap hole they may have been spawned in. The people I really feel sorry for are not these violent migrant invading thugs, but the British and foreign lorry drivers and other commercial traffic that has to run the gauntlet of these invading scum in order to go about their lawful business.
The headline was bad enough but the piece by Mark Stone one of the European correspondents for Sky News was even worse when it came to unnecessarily emotive language for a news report. It showed a little bit too much sympathy for those who wish to sponge off of us or do us harm. Here’s part of Mr Stone’s piece for Sky. As is usual policy for this blog the original text is in italics whereas this blog’s comments are in plain text.
Sky News said:
Nearly 1,000 people are still camped out in Northern France desperately hoping to get into Britain, despite the demolition of the Calais jungle 15 months ago.
As I said earlier, the true desperation is not on the part of the ‘migrants’, but with the Britons who fear that Theresa May’s government will cave in to pressure and let these violent scum into the UK. Once here they will turn their violence towards ordinary British citizens instead of just the truckers like they are doing now. This is 1,000 violent, criminal and probably jihad aligned bastards who we really do not need.
Sky News has witnessed the daily attempt by some of the young migrants to access trucks bound for the UK, just hours before the French President is due to arrive in the port town.
This passage looks far too sympathetic towards the migrants. Where’s the concern for those deserving of concern those who have to travel across the Channel via Calais for work or leisure?
Emmanuel Macron is meeting police and charities who are trying, with conflicting methods, to deal with the town’s continuing migration problems.
If Macron truly wants to sort this problem out first he needs to exclude and ban the often left wing ‘charities’ from helping the Calais problem to fester. These ‘charities’ are feeding and clothing the invaders and keeping them in Calais to the detriment of Channel travellers and the people of Calais. The presence of these invaders so close to the United Kingdom is also a security risk. There’s always the chance that some jihadist could slip into the UK via Calais and wreak havoc on innocent Britons. The presence of these leftist charities, along with the invaders that they are supporting, constitute an ongoing security problem that afflicts both France and the UK, these ‘charities’ really need to be banned from operating in French or British territory.
Once Macron has got a handle on these quisling pro migrant ‘charities’ then he should turn his attention to removing the ‘migrants’ to wherever will take them. If persuasion or starving them out doesn’t work then a harsh military option should be considered. The options that these invaders either stay in France or move to the UK, must not be on the table.
I felt the story published by Sky News was a bit one sided, it dealt only with the desperation felt by these ‘migrants’ and not by those who either have been, or will end up being, the victims of these ‘migrants’. Having read extensively about the Calais situation and conversed with many commercial vehicle drivers about the experience of travelling to and from the UK via Calais, I would have not chosen to use the loaded word ‘desperate’ to describe the Calais migrants. ‘Desperate’ should be used to describe those who are in a position where the are suffering, not to describe those ‘migrants’ who will as likely as not, bring suffering to Britons or any other civilised nation which they enter.
