THE FIRST MARTYR OF BIASED BBC!

It’s quite interesting. Up until the point where I assumed most of the posting here on Biased BBC , I had a regular spot on the local BBC main politics programme here called “Hearts and Minds”. I had three minutes to provide my views on the political week – and as you might imagine, I tended to present a rather different view to the usual in-crowd right-on hacks that are used. Being right of liberal, resolutely anti-terrorist, pro-USA, anti-EU, pro capitalism and anti-Statism, I was the proverbial square peg in a round BBC hole. But the invites started to dry up as this blog has gained momentum and it looks to me that I have been dropped from programme. Cue cheer-leading from all my detractors here in Northern Ireland! I have become a B-BBC martyr and it’s all thanks to you!!! Here’s the way I look on it. I am fortunate enough not to require one penny from the BBC, unlike certain other “commentators” who seem to pop up on a continual basis. I also am determined that I will write the Biased BBC book oft talked about here and publish it this year. So in order for me to do this, I need to blog less so I can write more. So if you notice a drop off in my posts that’s the reason. I might take weekends off to write so there may be less posts from me at that time. Someone needs to nail the BBC and it may as well be us – so with your encouragement and help I will do it. Look on this as a statement of intent.
