According to the presenter on a World Service panel show today, unless MMCC is tackled, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. FACT. Apparently, the sea will rise so quickly, people will not be able to flee. The temperature will rise so rapidly, people will be unable to seek shelter.
It’s THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING THE PLANET. Not poverty, or abortion, or racism, or any other subjective measure.
Apparently too, it’s a THREAT TO PLANET EARTH ITSELF. Apparently, the planet will not be able to readust, to continue as it has done for billions of years before we came along and released a bit of the carbon locked in the ground. Oh no.
Its the utter arrogance of the climatenazis that always amazes me.
Arrogance and ignorance, the certainty of the cretin and the stupidity of the fanatic?
Where have you been Piggy K, missed your posts.
Latest opinion poll shows Tories 17% ahead of the jock Mafia. I thought I’d post it here as if you’re listening to the BBC tomorrow they won’t mention it.
Oh and I see Labour Minister Ben Bradshaw has f***ed off on a nice long haul flight (business class) to Sri Lanka. Didn’t he lecture us about climate change the other week on Question Time? The BBC didn’t report THAT story either.
Like I say when the liberal left elite talk about cutting back on flying they mean YOU LOT not them.
That’s the Poll Tracker section disappearing off their Politics Home page any day now then!
Just be thankful there is not a BBC crew in tow along for the ride (so many opportunities, so little time) to squeeze in a 30″ vox pop – ‘studying the effects of global warming in beachfront night clubs’ – with their hero so all can slap the trip down on expenses.
er, they don’t mention any polls. that includes the ones when the tories weren’t ahead.
I see the BBC have decided to spin the Copenhagen joke a positive story for Obama. The BBC are ‘defending him’
They must be pissed they can’t spin it for Mcmong as well.
“mcmong” – beautiful.
Funniest quote I heard amongst all the hilarious stuff said by Carbonhagen attendees was a Bangladeshee government official who said “We thought Obama was a god now we know he is only a man”. Nice to know UK isn’t the only country run by fools.
Lovely pic header on the beeboid website of kids happily playing in deep snow around a globe in “Hopenhagen” (pass the sick bag alice). They just dont get the rather amusing irony it would seem.

Wikipedia was “doctored” by a team player.

I saw that articdle yesterday. What is amazing is the SCALE of the doctoring, thousands of articles. The Warmists have effectively blocked all criticism on Wiki, and wil be policing it hours by hour.

The man is a hero
Yes I’ve just noticed he’s back.
Sunday mornings LBC often have 2 hours chat show hosted by Andrew Pierce of the Torygraph. He was scathing today about Warmism and the Copenhagen fiasco. As were virtuaqlly all the callers.
I see – http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8423357.stm – that the BBC want us to feel Gerry Adams’ pain ”
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has revealed that his late father subjected family members to emotional, physical and sexual abuse over many years.
In a statement, Mr Adams said the family made the discovery in the 1990s and were still trying to come to terms with what happened.
“This discovery and the abuse which preceded it have had a devastating impact on our entire family,” he said.
“We live with the consequences every single day.””
I wonder if the BBC will soon be asking us to feel the pain of other ‘former’ supporters of terrorism or even (shock horror) the surviving relatives of those killed by the IRA during ‘the troubles’?
Reporting mass murderer, al Megrahi: 2 versions –

The BBC has responded to the A Great Deal of Murdering incident:
The Beeb Shrugs

The Beeb’s complaints dept. wrote back:
Having investigated your complaint, BBC London would like to apologise for any offence you might have felt on hearing Mr White’s comments. However, we would point out that Mr White is not a BBC journalist, and he was clearly introduced to listeners as a commentator from the Guardian newspaper.
He was putting forward his own views with his own choice of words, and, as with other commentators, the listener is free to make up their own mind on the validity of his arguments. The BBC’s advice to its own journalists would be to use plain and simple language, rather than make value judgements, but we cannot apply the same guidance to interviewees.
Mr White’s comments about Israel were a brief aside, along with other remarks about Northern Ireland, during the interview about Signor Berlusconi. In these circumstances, the presenter had to judge whether to divert the interview into a discussion about what Israel calls ‘targeted killing’ or his comments about Northern Ireland rather than concentrate on the matter in hand.
Given this background and the incidental nature of Mr White’s comments, we believe the presenters were right to concentrate on the substance of the interview.

BBC spouting more crap about Climate change along with pictures of Polar bears.
are you saying that polar bears are unaffected by climate change?
I don’t give a f**k about Polar bears.
The polar bear population is increasing – they need culling in some areas.
Someone should open a Polar bear butchers. I’d be buying from it.
Expect the BBC to jump on the latest scare bandwagon – ManMede Continental Drift :
http://thepeoplescube.com/red/viewtopic.php?t=1668
Justin Webb on “Today” does his best to force Chris Grayling to admit that he is just a good ‘ole boy when it comes to householders’ rights against burglars. But even Grayling repeats the mantra about householders being threatened by intruders, so it seems even with the Vigilante Man the goodies have to wait for the baddy to draw before responding.
Typical BBC. On the attack over the Tories plan to change the law on criminals getting a good kicking. Radio 5 phone in has some fat ugly female beeboid spouting her left wing liberal garbage about ‘poor criminals’ and all those nasty right wing callers thinking it’s OK to kill someone who might only be in your home to get a bit of cash for some smack.
Where can I buy a radio that tells me if the beeboid is fat and ugly?
Argos has one for £10 with caller id. The one I’ve got says stupid fat ugly female beeboid, on occasion, but then I paid a bit more for a larger display.
Because I have something called Google which if you type in the beeboids name gives you pictures of them. Anyway it was Shelagh fogherty, she is fat and very ugly.
Fatty Nolan was having time off last night, but R5 was winding up for its day of “Tory” bashing over householders’ rights. Being Sunday they had a guest clergyman pontificating on the news, not surprising that the clergyman was a sharia supporting Anglican bishop, Steven Lowe. After criticising the Tories for their timid proposals for getting physical he turned on the Christian teacher who had outrageously suggested that she offer a prayer for a sick pupil
Yes I heard that as well. Can’t wait for the Sharia to come into force here. Female beeboids kept at home, beaten and raped on a daily basis. They will love that.
Are you sure you weren’t looking at a picture of Danny Baker?
BBC’s Poll Tracker still not updated since 15 December, I wonder why – http://notasheepmaybeagoat.blogspot.com/2009/12/bbc-updating-news.html
BBC and ISLAM: the fiction-
In the BBC’s fictional world, Islam is not about Jihad:
“Spooked by Islamists” (by Nick Cohen)
http://www.standpointmag.co.uk/television-jan-10-spooks-war-on-terror-nick-cohen-islamists?page=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1
Instead, this is how the BBC fictionalises Islam, on BBC News Front Page:
“On set at Albert Square Muslim Wedding”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8420708.stm
So is the ‘bride’ 14 and beaten on a daily basis?
Tory tax allies ‘subsidised’ by the taxpayer
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/dec/20/taxpayers-alliance-tories-charitable-donations
I don’t see the BBC reporting this; biased in favour of the Tories are they?
Daft clown . It was on Radio 4 news last night
Oh, but it’s not on the BBC website – proof they are biased by not having a story about it. Also, I haven’t seen it on BBC 24 – more proof of pro-tory bias.
Or is it? Maybe my line of argument sounds a little ridiculous…. I wonder where I got it from.
Pingu me old mate. Just because the Guardian is even more sad and deluded than the beeb doesnt really prove anything, only that your little icy flippers are desperately clutching at straws
I’m pointing out blatant bias at the BBC – more pro – tory narratives from Auntie. I neither agree nor disagree with the story. Would you not agree that this is a severe case of bias? It’s not on the website, so therefore it must be bias. Right?
Pro tory beeb?
well i’ll go to the bottom of my stairs.
Missng one story that only the rabid bader meinhof boys in deepest darkest manchester carried doesnt make them william hagues new 12 pint a night drinking chums.
Even the beeb can miss a chance to bash the tories once in a while. It doesnt mean they’ve gone soft on them.
I think the penguin is being ironic. Showing you how daft it is to accuse the BBC of bias when they simply don’t run a certain story. A comment that clearly went over your head Paddy.
Peter ,
It didnt go over my head and I dont agree with you.
There we are short and to the point.
One omission is not a pattern but continuous omissions and you see a pattern. (That is unless you are blind as such)
Thus if your wife is particularly lifeless in bed once shes probably just grumpy but if she’s particularly lifeless every night and the washings piling up downstairs she’s probably dead.
Now that it has been moved by Brown from Friday’s success to today’s ‘It’s all China’s fault’, I have been concerned that the odd offshoot that is World Have Your Say is on the case and have written to Aunty to ask what this mob see their ole as being…
There is a fine line between reflecting and shaping. This, just now, from twitter: BBC_WHYS – We also need to make sure we are reflecting the anger that’s out there rather than nuanced voice Whose voice is being reflected by this UK-funded entity, exactly? The more I hear and see, the more it seems to be some kind of funded talking shop for students to vent upon.
And then its audience.
Not only that, but look at this biased tweet:
Nuala: just begining to dig into who might be best person to defend how Obama and the US handled Copenhagen. Suggestions? DM me @BBC_WHYS
I probably should substitute an “a” for the “ee”….
The BBC is being dishonest when it presents Roger Harriban as an “analyst”. He is a partisan activist, and there’s no possible way to deny it. Once again his “Notes” feature is written from one perspective only, and his “analysis” is that of a partisan discussing what went wrong for his side. Yes, there is the gentlest criticism of the US President, but it’s from the Left, from the side of Warmist advocacy.
Harriban is biased on the issue of Warmism, which is in fact the reason BBC management have given him the title and position.
BBC: unwilling to link Somali jihadists to Britain, and to British government policy of continuing mass immigration from Islamic countries, including Somalia.
The BBC has this typical headline which is about another Islamikaze murder in Somalia:
“Mortar attack as Somalia MPs return to Mogadishu.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8424945.stm
But the BBC is unwilling to make the connection of Islamic jihad in Somalia with the threat of Islamic jihad by Somalis to British people.
Given that British BBC licencepayers pay for BBC reports, one might think that a national public service broadcaster would be keen to alert the British people to any dangers. Like this, for example:
‘Times’ (May, 2009) :
“Somali Britons with jihad training pose terrorist risk”
[Extract]:
“For Britain, the evidence of spreading AQ [Al Qaeda] training camps in Somalia is particularly alarming because of the large Somali community in the UK. About 70,000 live in London, 10,000 in the borough of Tower Hamlets.”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article6345940.ece
‘Times’ (today):
“West warns that Somalia is becoming a haven for international terrorists”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article6963442.ece
Here’s some mindless advocacy from the BBC about refugees from Eritrea entering Sudan:
Eritrea: the land its citizens want to forget
Now, it doesn’t matter what I or anyone else thinks of the Eritrean government, or if things are actually good or bad there. If the BBC is going to make a piece on the topic of how bad things are, they should at least find some real examples.
Other than a couple of generic, uninformative statements (“there is no freedom”), it’s mostly people complaining that national service or other jobs don’t pay enough. And that, shockingly, political opponents of the government are nervous. This doesn’t give the reader any idea at all about what’s really going on. And I seriously doubt that 13-year old Mohamed is either a political opponent of the government, or was escaping national service because he was tired of the low wages.
The BBC should either report some actual information about what’s going on in Eritrea to make these people leave, or just put this in some section reserved for issues advocates. As it is, it’s far more of a commercial for a charity appeal than it is a news item.
It’s emotional bias, which is not acceptable regardless of my or anyone else’s personal opinion of how bad things might be in Eritrea.
Sorry, link to the above news brief is here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8393376.stm
The BBC’s report on the 6PM news about the right of self defence was nothing more than an attack on the Tories going back to William Hague and Michael Howard.
Hi Cassie BTW, just saw your post. Thanks love.
Have to watch the BP nowadays, so Im rationing my bbc exposure, only 20 mins a day without a full NBC (No Bbc Crap) suit. :*
“Economy shrinks less than thought” is the BBC’s delightful way of telling us that the economy is still shrinking, is still in recession and hasn’t come of recession by the end of the year!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8426023.stm
Only the Beeb could put a positive spin onto that news, which is 0.1% worse than analysts expected.
I see that the BBC’s Poll Tracker still has not included the latest You Gov poll released on Saturday evening that shows the Conservatives on 40%, Labour on 28%, Lib Dems on 18% and others on 14%.
This is ridiculous, what excuse can there be? Could the BBC even be seen as deliberately not reporting relevant news?
This is not even half way amusing, the BBC seem once again to be deliberately not reporting news that is detrimental to the Labour party. How can they be made to be unbiased?I have complained to the BBC but have received no reply.
http://notasheepmaybeagoat.blogspot.com/2009/12/bbc-updating-news-update.html
Much gnashing of teeth at the BBC.
Dishonest Reporter Awards for 2009 and the BBC failed to win even one. :-[
BBC Arabic did score a dishonourable mention for their interview with Dr Kamal El-Helbawy, the founder of the Muslim Association of Britain who justified the killing of children because in the future they would become soldiers.
BBC favourite Yasmin Alibhai-Brown did pick up a dumbest question award but that was for a piece in the Independent, so al Beeb can’t accept credit. In any case her award was like a movie missing out on an Oscar for Best Piucture, Actor, Actress and Director but picking up a best editing statue.
“Wrapping paper is an abomination,” says some watermelon on Today. (bottom of the page at 8:52) Hilarious. Gordon Brown’s wife has apparently tweeted that she is not using “expensive” wrapping paper for Christmas presents this year, and instead are “recycling” by using newspaper instead.
This is a false representation of the concept of recycling, because there are brands of wrapping paper made entirely from recycled materials. Of course, the real agenda of this segment is revealed very quickly when they all start talking about reducing consumption, “anti-bling”, and several other anti-Capitalist clichés.
And then Peter York bleats about “teaching the people of Primrose and Notting Hill” about reducing their consumption, hiding their wealth, etc. Gosh, I wonder which political party is a majority in those neighborhoods?
The BBC celebrates ant-Capitalist drivel, because they are biased on this issue.
SOMALIA
BBC still avoids connection with Labour’s Mass Immigration and Somalian Jihad threat to British people:
“Mortar attack as Somalia MPs return to Mogadishu”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8424945.stm
In contrast, the ‘Times’ today has:
“Wretched, jobless and invisible: are Britain’s Somalis the enemy within?”
[Extract]:
“The Government has no reliable statistics on how many Somalis now live in Britain. One official reckoned that there were 150,000 legal immigrants and three times as many illegal ones.
The usual estimate is about 250,000, mostly in London but with sizeable numbers in Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Cardiff and other cities.
“It is almost certainly the biggest Somali community in the worldwide diaspora and suffers from shockingly high levels of unemployment, low levels of education and wretched living conditions.
“A 2008 report by the Institute for Public Policy Research suggested that 46 per cent had arrived in Britain since 2000, 48 per cent had no qualifications and barely a quarter of the working age population was employed — mostly in menial jobs.
“In 1997 Haringey Council found that 50.6 per cent of its Somali adults were illiterate in any language.”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article6965717.ece
Perhaps BBC reporter in Somalia, Mohamed Olad Hassan, has other priorities.
As INDIA attempts to tighten up security, after the Mumbai Islamic jihad massacre, the BBC decides to run this headline:
“India visa move brings complaints”
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8427798.stm
And to whom does the BBC give most uncritical space to in this complaining but the BBC’s Labour chum Mandelson.
Such is Mandelson’s line that he may well have said to India: ‘Why not have an Open Door policy on immigration, like Britain?’ That would suit the BBC.
A Formal Complaint to the BBC
Is the BBC touting for Labour’s ‘Equality Bill’?
Here is today’s totally uncritical survey:
“What the new Equality Bill means for employers”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8411725.stm
Presumably, in the interests of impartiality, the BBC will recruit e.g. an employer’s point of view which provides a totally critical point of view, at equal length?
Only kidding.
