European Union Orders British Press NOT to Report when Terrorists are Muslims
Europe-Israel News ^ | November 18, 2016 | Yves Mamou

According the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) — part of the Council of Europe — the British press is to blame for increasing hate speech and racist violence. On October 4, 2016, the ECRI released a report dedicated only to Britain. The report said:

some traditional media, particularly tabloids… are responsible for most of the offensive, discriminatory and provocative terminology. The Sun, for instance, published an article in April 2015 entitled “Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants”, in which the columnist likened migrants to “cockroaches”… The Sun newspaper has also published inflammatory anti-Muslim headlines, such as its front page of 23 November 2015 which read “1 in 5 Brit Muslims’ sympathy for jihadis”, along with a picture of a masked terrorist wielding a knife…

No way the Daily Mail will comply with that EU demand.

Circulation figures according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations in March 2014 show gross daily sales of 1,708,006 for the Daily Mail.[1] According to a December 2004 survey, 53% of Daily Mail readers voted for the Conservative Party, compared to 21% for Labour and 17% for the Liberal Democrats.[16] The main concern of Viscount Rothermere, the current chairman and main shareholder, is that the circulation be maintained. He testified before a House of Lords select committee that “we need to allow editors the freedom to edit”, and therefore the newspaper’s editor was free to decide editorial policy, including its political allegiance.[17] The Mail has been edited by Paul Dacre since 1992.

This is one of the reasons for BREXIT. Brits were tired of getting orders from some liberal weanie in Brussels.

I'm sure the tabloid press in Britain will fall into line after this announcement. /sarcasm/

Maybe there shouldn’t be a EU anymore.

Next step: FREXIT

Islam is a war plan.

The EU commission is sick in the head.

And if Trump had not won we would soon be hearing that the UN has “ordered” the USA not to report when terrorists are Muslims, and President Clinton has obediently complied.

Orwell was like a prophet with the accuracy of his foretelling.

Everyone should re-read 1984 and prepare themselves to be amazed at the parallels.

Any tabloid editor can predict, with only a small margin of error, how many extra editions he can sell if the front page features the following:

“BRITAIN TO E.U.: GO BUGGER YOURSELVES!!”

Orwell’s understanding of people, power is simply unparalleled. He understood what people would do take power, maintain power and silence opposition better than anyone.

His stories are still relevant since human nature hasn’t changed.

In Britain this gesture can mean either one of two things...1) victory...2) up yours.

Sounds like the message that the *real* British press would want to send to the EU.
