Booker details in the Telegraph the heinous falsification of historical fact on Kirsty Wark's Newsnight. The lie propagated in the programme was that the 2m deaths upon partition - Hindu on Muslim, Sikh on Muslim, Muslim on Hindu and Sikh, rape, murder and carnage - were all the fault of the British for partitioning the Indian Empire into India and East and West Pakistan.
No doubt this is not just BBC fake news but the lies are taught in schools to children of Indian and Pakistani immigrants.
As Booker points out, it was the Muslim leader Jinnah who refused to accept a single nation and insisted on lines on a map dividing Hindu India from Muslim Pakistan and which led directly to an ocean of blood and 2m slaughtered across the subcontinent.
Even the BBC cannot get away with telling a lie this big.

I'm afraid the BBC WILL get away with telling this lie.
Just like it gets away with everything else. There's nothing and no-one to stop them since the Government refuses to deal with it and also refuses to scrap the enforced funding.
I reckon that we should partition the BBC.
Currently it is a part of the established state, and we should separate it from the "people's tit", let it speak for itself, after it has earned the cash.
Just prattling from on high, with its mouth full of our cash, makes this organisation useless, both as a government mouthpiece and a method for entertaining the proles.
Mostly, we are not amused.

"As Booker points out, it was the Muslim leader Jinnah who refused to accept a single nation and insisted on lines on a map dividing Hindu India from Muslim Pakistan and which led directly to an ocean of blood and 2m slaughtered across the subcontinent."
Unless our government and those in the rest of Europe start taking Islam seriously we're heading in the same direction with the same consequences.
"An ocean of blood"? Surely there must be some mistake. The religion of peace would never involve itself in such a thing!
As was mentioned on several of the BBC RADIO programmes, where Jinnah's insistence on partion was mentioned.
Oops
Of course had Ghandi been less of a Hindu nationalist the Muslims might have been more happy to stay.

Worth a try?
Adding to the chaos was the new Indian govts refusal to allow British troops to intervene to stop the violence. It would undermine the dignity of the new state of India, a little bit of bloodshed was not really important. One should note that at the time of partition the great and the good, were as always safely in India and Pakistan, no fleeing with the masses for them.

Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no they will though, they always do. Kirsty Wark is BBC News Team Psyops:
Psychological operations are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning
Anything the Corporation deems unprogressive she's in there, defending the narrative as if her life depended on it. If the wheels come off her journalism she'll dump her job description entirely and go hand-to hand with bullshit baffles brains. Her back-up is Emily 'Legs' Maitlis.

Is it just me? Or is there something very wrong with the publicly funded BBC employing people on deals which enable them to avoid paying large amounts of tax - that very same tax which pays their very generous salaries.
It is Britain's fault that the Sub Continent and for that matter Africa are in the East and not the West. If the Meridian had been drawn through Rangoon it would never have happened.
Quite. Something else for the English devils to self-flagellate over!
I never watch BBC tv because it is so biased and I now rarely listen to BBC radio either. The BBC should be broken up and sold off. We can fight it by refusing to pay the TV Tax. Don't worry you won't miss the BBC worldview (pitched somewhere between Heath and Corbyn with a heavy dose of cultural-marxism).
I did hear one screamer in passing a few days ago where the BBC (radio) insisted that Robert E Lee was the leader of the Confederates. The BBC's bias and ineptitude has become embarrassing.
Kirsty snark.
What a bark, imagine the poor fellah who first..............
They damn well try it on though, the BBC.
The MSM is so busy talking down the UK economy: where has this been reported:
"Happy landing for El Al Dreamliner, powered by biggest trade deal in UK-Israel history."
