The BBC is said to be focusing more attention on the World Service in Arabic and had asked the Foreign Office of the Commonwealth (FOC) for 45 million pounds to establish an Arabic language television channel for the Middle East and North Africa.

Figures. Like the good little ass-kissing dhimmis they are.

That will make it so much easier to help your terrorist buddies, won't it? :-(

#2 Sickening - Aunt Beeb, The Voice of the Caliphate. No doubt it will be car swarms, snuff films and the usual anti-American vitriol. I hope no license payers' money is going toward this.

#3 Howard, doesn't this: "Foreign Office of the Commonwealth (FOC) for 45 million pounds "

answer your question? I assume that the FO is not a Private concern with its own profit stream, true? I also assume that the money they dole out comes from taxes, true? I assume that your poor wallet is being sucked dry for this s***, true?

Good luck my friend, you need it. 8^(

#5 You guys see a problem. I see an opportunity. Letâs review: the BBC wants to eliminate its broadcasts in Thai so it can increase its arabic broadcasting. The Thai are currently dealing with a violent Islamic insurgency, presumably backed by the Saudis and/or Malaysians. How about Thai language Radio Free America broadcasts? It would let the Thai know that someone out there is on their side.

#6 "Item from "The Zimbabwean".

Two recent court cases have earned the attention of newspaper
readers in Zimbabwe. One person was fined $10,000,000 for not having a TV licence.
Another was released on bail for $5,000,000 after being arrested for
murder.

The moral of this Zimbabwean story: If you do not have a TV licence
and the inspector comes round, kill him. You will save $5,000,000.
