BBC's Newsnight accused of 'racism' over Irish bail-out bulletin
The BBC’s Newsnight programme has been accused of “racist” stereotyping over a bulletin about Britain’s role in the international bail-out for Ireland.
Viewers complained that scenes depicting a cut-out of Chancellor George Osborne dancing across sepia images of the Irish countryside were offensive.
Comments by Mr Osborne about supporting the country through its financial crisis also flashed on the screen in a Celtic font to the sound of traditional Irish music.
The report, aired on Thursday night – days before the Irish Government capitulated to EU demands to accept a multibillion euro bail-out – ended with a shot outside a shebeen house.
Message boards and social networking site were awash with angry comments condemning the coverage as “bad taste” and “condescending”.

One viewer wrote on Twitter: “What did we think of the Newsnight Oirish shebeeney leprechauny [sic] graphics?... I personally fainted.”

Another added: “Another simplistic Oirish piece on Newsnight. I mean we’re screwed and we deserve ridicule but spare me the trad music, jigs & condescension.”

Others attacked the current affairs programme after the story was reported on news websites alongside a YouTube clip of the bulletin.

One reader railed: “Are you joking me? ------ racist pigs! That was very deliberately done and meant to insult!”

The BBC said it was investigating whether any official complaints had been made about the programme!

Other complaints by Irish against the anti Irish racism of the BBC!

The BBC have been asked many times to cease their anti Irish racism, Irish people in Ireland and the Irish disapora do not expect any quick change from the British BBC.
Here they add insult to injury, when they portray any Irish economic success as courtesy of the British, a very insulting and ridiculous claim.
The BBC refer to Ireland as part of the British Isles, and they make this political comment as often as possible. The BBC do this despite having been warned by the Irish government that this reference is offensive to the Irish people.
The BBC do not care how they hurt the Irish people.

Comments on British BBC accused of anti Irish racism
BBC are condescending to everyone. This was obviously made to kick the Irish when they are down. The Irish should ignore the racist British.

note the british nationalist bbc propagandists never told their audience that Broken britain never actually had any money to give Ireland!

Westminster had to organize a loan from China, they did this to make themselves look good to naive Irish, and make more Irish ignorant of the machiavellian nature of the so called friends loan!

The loan that broken Britain gave Ireland, they got it from China.
What the bankrupt British did with their corrupt banks

BBC encouraged by Westminster and the perverse crown, selectively promote the idea of any other nations identity expressed in patriotism and nationalism as bad or evil as immature.

But bbc present british nationalism as romantic and harmless good and fun.
