    "Three men lured"
  ],
  "textContent": "I’m addicted to the British spy show _Slow Horses_. It’s worth watching for **Gary Oldman** alone, who came out of acting retirement to play the slovenly, washed-up Cold War relic, Jackson Lamb. It’s so good that it’s possible to ignore its ludicrous politics. Despite being inspired when its creator was caught up in the 7/7 jihadist mass murders, the show bizarrely bends over backwards to peddle the ‘Muslim victim’ narrative.\n\nFor instance, the first season revolves around a kidnapping of a ‘nice Muslim’ boy by a gang of ‘far-right thugs’ straight out of a BBC reporter’s darkest nightmares. The show doesn’t do anything to hide its bias: “We can’t have fascists running around the place,” says one character.\n\nAs it happens, Britain has just witnessed a racially motivated kidnapping by three fanatics. Only, reality is diametrically opposite to fictional fantasy.\n\nNot that the legacy media will let on, if they can help it.\n\n> Three men lured a record producer to an isolated cottage in a botched kidnap attempt due to his Israeli heritage, a court heard.\n>\n> The kidnappers were motivated by political and religious reasons, as well as money, when they posed as representatives of Polydor Records to target **Itay Kashti** , Swansea Crown Court heard.\n\n“Israeli heritage”, they say? Why not just Jewish?\n\nAnd what might these “political and religious reasons” be? Don’t ask, because the BBC won’t tell you if it can help it.\n\nBut there are clues.\n\n> **Mohammad Comrie** , 23, from Leeds, **Faiz Shah** , 23, from Bradford, and **Elijah Ogunnubi-Sime** , 20, from Wallington, London, pleaded guilty to kidnap and each received a custodial sentence of eight years and one month.\n\nThere’s something about all those names. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but I suspect it has something to do with those “political and religious reasons” the BBC doesn’t want to let on about.\n\n> In one conversation it was said: “All three of us have complete 100 per cent faith in Allah so we can’t fail.”\n\nHmm. Nope. Not one bit clearer.\n\nThe judge accidentally let slip that the victim is, in fact, Jewish. But she quickly recovered and defaulted back to the establishment lies-by-omission.\n\n> “Mr Kashti was targeted due to his Jewish heritage,” with the kidnappers “motivated by events taking place elsewhere in the world,” the judge added.\n\n“Motivated by events taking place elsewhere in the world”? Hmm. The Winter Olympics? The Superbowl? The Grammy Awards? Whatever could she be referring to?\n\n> The trio created a “shopping list” of items for the kidnap plot, including face masks, gloves, a gag, rental cars and a suitable rental location for the kidnap to take place.\n>\n> Judge **Catherine Richards** called the list “chilling” and “clearly intended to create fear of violence”.\n\nJust for no explainable reason, apparently.\n\nAnd don’t you go thinking any WrongThink.\n\n* * *\n\n💡\n\n****If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share buttons at the top or bottom of the article.****",
