We can observe the BBC mindset and deduce their thinking from seeing the angle of their bias and work it out from that . Sometimes they come right out with what they think and one can see just how ridiculous and pathetic it really is. It is certainly not any real powers of reasoning that gives them power to brainwash the masses, just the way they normally deliver it.
In this case a BBC wildlife expert has expressed the view that the only way to save the planet is for society to have fewer babies. He suggests doing it like they do in China by rewarding those who have smaller families by offering tax breaks. He says "... ‘By 2020, there are going to be 70million people in Britain. Let’s face it, that’s too many."
He doesn't suggest penalising those with larger families however. Now why do you think that is?
Census figures show that reproduction among the indigenous citizens of this country is already below the rate at which we expand. The people having the most growth is in fact Muslims. The reason our population has grown is a direct result of immigration.
So the BBC line is, allow more immigration, especially by Muslims as Islam means peace. Since they have no intention of reducing their birth rates, it should be the British public that further reduce their own to save the planet for the Muslim world that will exist in the future.
BBC thinking at it's best
The only thing I'm really pleased by what he writes is this "‘...In fact, I do not now (have) – and never have had – any desire whatsoever to reproduce myself."
Phew!

Save the planet by having fewer babies, says BBC presenter as he calls for tax breaks for small families

BBC wildlife expert Chris Packham has warned the only way to protect the future of the planet is to curb population growth.
The Springwatch presenter suggested offering Britons tax breaks to encourage them to have smaller families.
He effectively endorsed China’s controversial one-child policy, which sees couples who adhere to the rule given a lump sum on retirement.
But he stopped short of suggesting people should be penalised for having too many children.
Packham, 49, who has no children of his own, told Radio Times: ‘By 2020, there are going to be 70million people in Britain. Let’s face it, that’s too many.’
He added: ‘There’s no point bleating about the future of pandas, polar bears and tigers when we’re not addressing the one single factor that’s putting more pressure on the ecosystem than any other – namely the ever-increasing size of the world’s population.’
Packham suggested offering couples a financial incentive as ‘a carrot’ to persuade them to have fewer – or no – children.
He said: ‘I would offer them tax breaks for having small families: say, 10 per cent off your tax bill if you decide to stick with just one child. And an even bigger financial incentive if you choose not to have a family at all.

‘I question the way, for example, people have two children with one partner, then split up and have two with their next partner, just to even up the score.
'Fact is, we all eat food, breathe air and require space, and the more of us there are, the less of those commodities there are for other people and, of course, for the animals.’
Although Packham does not have children of his own, he is helping an ex-girlfriend raise her 16-year-old daughter.
He said: ‘I consider it one of the great privileges of my life to play a part in her upbringing, and would happily throw myself in front of a train to protect her.
‘It doesn’t bother me one bit that she doesn’t share my genes.
‘In fact, I do not now (have) – and never have had – any desire whatsoever to reproduce myself.’
Experts have predicted that the British population – which is currently around 62million – will increase to 70million by 2029.
A report by the sustainable development group Forum For The Future said Britain would struggle to handle such growth. The increase in population would be ‘catastrophic’ and put unsustainable pressure on housing, schools and hospitals as well as natural resources.
Current trends will see a city the size of Bristol added to the population of the UK every year for the next two decades.
Packham, who presents new BBC2 show The Animal’s Guide To British Wildlife, was also critical of the nation’s reliance on cheap supermarket produce and fast food.
‘The public expect cheap food as a right, and we aren’t prepared to pay the prices farmers need in order to provide quality food.
‘We should insist on buying locally grown food and be prepared to pay for it.
‘As for the hard-pressed mum who says she’s not got the time or money, I’m sorry, but making her children good, nutritious food should be her priority.
‘Everyone knows we’ve got the most obese kids in the world.
‘Besides which, giving them fast food actually works out more expensive than cooking them a proper meal.’
