Emily Maitlis’ disgraceful performance here is just one manifestation of the indefatigable determination of the political and media elites to destroy the very concept of the nation state, as well as the concept of ethnicity, in their pursuit of a utopian vision of a socialist internationalist global order that will obviate the need for wars, as every place will be pretty much like every other place, and people will be pretty much the same everywhere. In reality, however, they are bringing the virtual certainty of chaos and civil war to Europe, and to North America as well, unless they’re stopped. Will Maitlis be spared by the jihadis who will enter the UK among peaceful migrants? Unlikely.
“Hungarian Minister Chides ‘Unbalanced, One-sided’ BBC Anchor for Pro-EU, Pro-Migration Rant,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, June 30, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó had to chide BBC anchor Emily Maitlis for “unbalanced, one-sided” journalism after she lost her temper and launched into a rant about the EU standing for “tolerance, diversity, and human rights”.
Speaking to Szijjártó on the publicly-funded broadcaster’s flagship BBC Newsnight programme, Maitlis took umbrage with the Hungarian statesman’s claim that “the current migration policy of the European Union can be very easily translated as an invitation” to illegal migrants.
“On World Refugee Day this week, you passed a new law which makes it illegal to help migrants. It criminalises helping undocumented immigrants, and that includes asylum seekers. Why would you do that?” she asked.
Szijjártó attempted to correct the presenter, saying that the anti-illegal immigration package — dubbed ‘Stop Soros’ — was aimed only at those organisations which “help people to ask for asylum even if they have no legal basis for that… and promoting [immigration] opportunities with no legal basis”.
Maitlis appeared not to take heed of Szijjártó’s explanation, however, jabbing her finger at the foreign minister and doubling down on her previous claims.
“You will be making it illegal to help refugees fill in form,” she alleged, leaning forward aggressively.
“You will make it punishable by jail to organise or distribute information that could help migrants.
“Now, you accept that this legislation flouts not only human rights, but it also breaks an international treaty you have signed,” she asserted, laughing incredulously.
“The content of the law is not what you have listed,” replied the Hungarian, perplexed.
“The content of the law is that if you promote illegal possibilities to come to Hungary–” he began to explain, before Maitlis interrupted him.
“No, I want to talk about this question of ‘illegal’, right, because anyone who lands in your country who calls themself an asylum seeker has the right to have their papers and their situation examined,” she insisted.
Szijjártó attempted to explain that Hungary, which lies in Central Europe, is surrounded by peaceful countries, and that there is “no point of reference in any piece of international regulations why you should be allowed or helped or assisted to violate the border between two peaceful countries”.
Maitlis did not address this point, but turned openly scornful, sneering: “You do know you don’t have an immigrant problem in Hungary? You do know that your own official data says you have 3,600 asylum seekers in a country of ten million? You do know that there were 300 asylum claims only this year? You don’t have an immigrant problem in your country!”
Szijjártó explained that illegal migration into Hungary — which was running at 3,000 a day at the height of the migrant crisis, as Maitlis herself reported at the time — has only been brought under control because of the tough stance adopted by the Hungarian government, and that the country remains on the frontline as the situation in the Balkans looks set to boil over again….

The Communist BBC really needs to be disbanded. It’s propaganda for the One World Government. Something that most Britons (those who pay attention to what’s happening around them, that is) reject.

CNN in America is the Communist media outlet for the likes of George Soros and other Leftist. The World is at war with those working to cause a world wide civil war. In the dust of battle, the evil ones hope to ascend to power over the world. Arm yourselves. You will have to fight to survive the coming battle.

Who better to know how to deal with an illegal immigration situation in a country than a loudmouth, rude, aggressive lefty talking head on TV? Forget immigration ministers charged by their countries to protect and defend their borders – let’s have more governance by fools on TV. As it happens, the Hungarian minister at the centre of this extraordinary hostility is quite correct when he points out the necessity for strong border controls. Like many informed and intelligent human beings, he has observed the immigrant chaos in the EU, its unbelievable cost to disenchanted nationals in Europe; the rising violence directed at host country citizens, Christians, non Muslims generally, and the destruction of Christian churches. The painful and shocking evidence of the spectacular failure of this grand scheme is obvious to all but the architects of the disaster which is on display everywhere. War makers of the past such as Mussolini and Hitler met the fate that they richly deserved – as do those responsible for opening the gates to Hell for their own people. These fools rightly should be held directly responsible for all the deaths of innocent citizens who were knifed, blown up, strangled, beaten to death, raped, sodomized, beheaded, and subjected to horrors brought to them by maniacs from hellish foreign lands.

I listened very carefully to the YouTube video featuring Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Szijjarto. He’s very bright, logical, and I entirely agreed with him.
I believe that makes me a pragmatic truth seeker, although the far left would vehemently disagree.
eduardo odraude says
Most of British media, like most of media elsewhere, are cowards and conformists, and they are that in part because they are ignoramuses with no strong or transcendent sense of principles. Being adrift in a relativist and nihilist sea, when it comes down to it they aren’t sure it matters which way things go. So they simply surrender to social pressure and political correctness. In any case, whatever illness, stupidity, or lack of principle moves her, Emily Maitlis is a truly disgusting interviewer. She constantly interrupts and asks questions without letting him answer. That is mob rule in a journalist’s clothing.

This immigration discussion in Europe or in America is so stupid that there is never a discussion why the countries who send those immigrants here instead of making things right for its citizens in their own country.
Of course the underlying idea is that all the bad things happening in shithole countries are due to western infidel greed to rob those poor countries off their resources and wonderful Islamic culture.
WHAT A BS. But liberals eat that shit up which makes them feel good. At the expense of tax paying infidels like us. CRAZY SHIT?

I didn’t hear the interview the same way many of you did. To me they were both idiots. She because she was jumping from place to place in a frustrated fashion and he because he contradicted himself at every turn.
It was typical political double talk, denial and rationalizing which a better interviewer could have nailed.
E.g. He claimed that the Hungarian policy was not directed at any one group (and therefore not xenophobic) and in the next breath pointed out that the EU’s policy allowed asylum to violent immigrants “from the south”. He then said Hungary supported the EU’s principles of inclusion, etc. and, at the same time supported his Prime Minister’s comments about muslim immigrants.
Had he simply said that he was against unfettered muslim immigration because of the problems incumbent with it he would be worthy of respect. Of course it’s being xenophobic but justifiably so in this case. So justify it. Instead he denies what is obvious. If it was an influx of industrious Japanese or South Korean asylum seekers Hungary was blocking xenophobia would be tougher, if not impossible, to justify.

“Tolerance, diversity, and human rights” she says. Lovely. But the millions of Muslims trying to get into Europe legally or illegally neither understand, accept, or practice those values.When is this liberal left wing insanity going to stop?

UNCLE VLADDI says
When one subtracts the half-Arab, half-Asian “latinos” from the mix, the global proportion of “whites” drops from 15% (on par with the 15% of Negroes worldwide) to a mere 7%.
Whites are THE global “minority.”
So of course “liberals” want to dilute and destroy them with the infliction of global majorities, and all in the name of “Diversity!”
Do liberals insist on diluting and diversifying Africa with whites and Asians, because there’s too many Negroes in Africa? No, of course not!
Are liberals rioting and protesting at Chinese embassies because they won’t accept the “cultural enrichment” of being diluted by Whites, Dravidians and Negroes?
Hell, NO!
Are they complaining that India is too full of … well, “Indians!”?
Again: NO!
So it’s obvious that this “multi-cultural Diversity” program is only aimed at forcing the global majorities to destroy the global minority, and all in the name of Diversity and “equality!”
andrew mckendrick says
” you don`t have an immigrant problem” like that`s a fault ?
neversink says
Yes. The BBC – They support the mass rapes of British teenagers by Muslim immigrants, but they call the perpetrators Asians, not Muslims. It’s not the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese committing the crimes. It’s Islamist jihadists from other parts of Asia who Britain has allowed to come in without any real vetting.
The UK and the BBC openly support the rapists as they are afraid to tell the truth about the Islamist jihadists. They lock up there own citizens under spurious hate-crime laws if they criticize Islam. But it’s fine with the UK politicians and police if you are Muslim and you shout Kill the Jews. Hate crimes are an excuse for governments to control people and enforce speech they dislike.
BBC also loves to say “so-called ISIS” or “so-called Islamic State,” even though that is the official name of the jihad terrorist group.
BBC is propaganda. Total propaganda. There is no objective reporting. Objective journalism is long dead as reporters who used to lie or mislead were automatically fired. Now reporters are instructed to lie.

Is this an interview, or a warning? This Emily Maitlis just illustrates the thinking of the Left: unquestioning assumption that they are right and anyone who disagrees with them is wrong, moral justification in their righteous anger, refusal to listen to any opposing viewpoint, and refusal to admit the possibility that they might be wrong. And of course illogic, lying, intimidation, and whatever else it takes to be “right”. Hungary is being invaded by the nation of Islam, that’s just a fact of reality, just like all other countries in Europe are. At least the people of Hungary had the good sense to elect a president who recognizes this.

Matthieu Baudin says
“… Maitlis appeared not to take heed of Szijjártó’s explanation, however, jabbing her finger at the foreign minister and doubling down on her previous claims…”
This is what you get time and again; rational discussion or debate is replaced by strident assertions that unashamedly serve to prop up an evangelical political cause. So many journalists are these-days captive to their own utopian dreams and militant posturing that they threaten to suffocate the democratic spirit.
Matthieu Baudin says
Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister presented his arguments with clarity and dignity in this exchange. Well done. None of the small to medium sized Central European Nations should be bullied by the dominant Western European States or by increasingly doctrinaire media outlets such as the BBC.
