I might easily have passed on posting this, Pat Condell's video that is, the rest of the post coming later. Passed on it I may well have but for Pat making mention, much unlike the BBC, that the perpetrators of crimes against women are generically tagged Asian rather than what they really are, Islamic males.
The video in question first, and then just one story of many, but further links, all courtesy of Pat Condell, below that.

Politically I think there might be a bit of a gap between Pat and myself, but there is absolutely nothing that I could disagree with in Condell's take on culture and the insane face of the atheist/far left.
And what Pat Condell post would be complete without a little burqa rant?

BBC reveals huge scale of honour attacks in Britain, fails to mention the word “Islam”
At least 2,823 people, mainly vulnerable young women, were brutalised in Britain last year by members of their family. But BBC report censors out the key information
by Robin Shepherd

All right. I’m not going to make this difficult. The families giving the orders, as well as the victims, are, in the overwhelming majority of cases, Muslim. Surprised? No, of course you’re not. Honour attacks ranging in brutality from beatings to murder are commonplace in many parts of the Muslim world.
Since Britain, like many other European countries, has imported sizeable Muslim communities, which are to a significant degree unassimilated, the cultural practices of the old country have survived the transition to the new.
Finally, the figure of 2,823 attacks is almost certainly a gross under-estimate since, apart from anything else, it is drawn from only 39 of 52 UK police forces.
Got it? In just over 150 words (including title and summary) you now know all the basic information, and as intelligent, informed citizens you can have a discussion on what to do about it. That’s what journalism is for.
Propaganda, on the other hand, is intended for something else. It is designed to present a politically charged narrative held to with a fanaticism that will allow no mention of facts that contradict it. It is thus deliberately intended to lower the quality of the discussion by erasing key pieces of information.
Enter the BBC, (Link fundamental to this story and post in general*) which reported on the matter in a lengthy, 700-plus word article and failed to mention the words “Muslim”, “Islamic” or “Islam” even once.
As I write this I am flicking back to the story itself so I can double check using the Find function. Could I be mistaken?
Here goes: “Islamic”? “No Matches”. “Muslim”? “No Matches”. “Islam”? “No Matches”. More
