SINISTER RUGBY

By | |
38 Comments

Don’t know if you are a rugby fan but if you do share my enthusiasm for the game you may well be tuning in later today when the final chapter of the 6 Nations is played out. The climax is the game between Wales and Ireland at the excellent Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. So, how does the BBC cover this? Simple; they drag on some feminazi who finds the singing by the crowd of the well known song “Delilah” ….”sinister.” It seems the lyrics could encourage male violence. Oh my goodness, WHY do we have to pay for this? In what world is this a major story – it was on at prime-time 8.20am. Is there NOTHING else the BBC could have covered? It’s uber leftie politically correct feminazi drivel and I hope the crowd will belt out the words of the song and that the game is a great spectacle for all who watch it. I’m sure some Beeboid will be wondering why there are no women playing in either team!

NEVER MIND THE MURDERED – FEEL THE MURDERERS PAIN

I was reading this report on the BBC NI portal and it sickens me insofar as the way in which it is written tries to portray the police as villains when in fact all they are seeking to do is to apprehend the brutal killers of Police Constable Carroll, murdered by the “I can’t believe it’s the IRA” last week. Alex Maskey, a convicted bank robber and senior Sinn Fein spokesman (What could be more normal than that?) is allowed to pontificate about the wrongness of the police investigation and then one of the myriad pro-Republican human rights parasites in the shape of Mike Ritchie from the Campaign Against Justice, (as I like to call them) weighs in to support the Maskey line. The BBC cannot seem to find any other politicians who support the decision by the police to question these alleged republican killers for seven days. Maybe they could try and look just a little harder, I am certain they are out there.

FRIDAY IS OBAMA DAY.

Gotta love Today. This morning I heard Thought for The Day pass off Obama’s teleprompter gaffe on St Patrick’s Day as proof he is human (don’t recall Bush getting the same generosity?) and then the BBC ran the spin that Obama “couldn’t believe” that AIG were going to pay out bonuses. Since the legal provision for this was signed into law by Obama, and drafted by a senior Democrat, he is either incompetent or else he is lying – which is it and why does the BBC choose to swallow the entire Obama propaganda line? Bias – it’s always there.

Just a few hours before this goes live, I do hope you can join us for an hour of topical dissection of the BBC’s leading political “debating” programme. Your suggestions for this evening’s question?

QUESTION TIME LIVE!

Just to say we will be live later this evening for our weekly indulgence of Question Time. Fern Britton??? (I would have preferred Holly Willoughby I have to say if we are going to have presenters posing as political pundits ) Vince Cable – a biased BBC favourite graces the screen as does Fattie Clarke. Douglas Murray should be good and we can all have a laugh at the wretched Tessa Jowell! BTW – did anyone else hear Harriet Har-person being interviewed on 5 Live at lunchtime. What a man-hating enterprise-loathing crone she is – and such an easy ride from her pals on 5 Live.

BURYING ISRAEL.

Well, it’s just too good an opportunity to miss, isn’t it? Israeli troops brutally murdering innocent Palestinians – hold the front page. The thing is that until an IDF investigation has concluded, this is mere anonymous speculation. If it is proven true, the IDF will deal with those found guilty. If it turns out to be as specious as much other media driven hostility towards Israel, then can we expect the BBC to report that with as much enthusiasm as they drool over this? Further, the BBC headline implies this abuse of peace-loving Gazans as a fact, it is nothing of the sort, it is an allegation.

THE REAL PHONY

Comments Off on THE REAL PHONY

Did you see that the BBC have been giving great prominence to the rebuke issued to David Cameron by the repulsive Gorbals Mick in the Commons today? It all concerned Cameron using the word “phony” with regard to Brown’s refusal to accept culpability over his role in creating the current dire economic circumstances. Now I could think of many harsher words to describe how the Dear Leader is dealing with economic events but the thing that struck me most about this was that by turning this a Speaker vs Cameron event – the BBC manage to divert attention away from the shocking behaviour of Brown and his squad of incompetents.
