    The BBC home page greets readers tonight with this picture:

    http://static.bbc.co.uk/homepage/ic/mediazone/strap/www/image/p00bd2qd_640_215.jpg

    With it the title: Delhi 2010 The Commonwealth Games Begin

    The BBC should archive the picture for London 2012 as I doubt very much if there will be any difference in the opening ceremonies.

      Its the new modern British culture innit?

      All the wonders of the third world brought to a nation on the way down to meet the third world coming up.

      Who needs Britannia and traditional British pomp when massed bongo drums and fire eaters and ethnic dancing and stuff will amaze the crowds, itll be great!

    Oooh just a quick update on the 10.10 ecofascist snuff movie.

    Go visit their website and look at the hundreds of comments made about their ‘hugely popular’ and ‘extremely funny’ video that ‘many people loved’.

    The comments are overwhelmingly critical, people are sickened and very angry about it. The site is unmoderated at present but come monday morning when the lavishly paid ecofascisti come back from their country houses and weekend getaways to sunny climes they will get the shock of a lifetime.

    It seems that far from being the hit they thought it was it could spell the end of their gravytrain…oops! No more foreign nannies and cleaners and housekeepers and foreign hols every five minutes eh? No more private schools for Jonty and Tabatha and no more BUPA, oooh the horror!

    Obviously the BBC are doing their best to kill the story dead, nothing to see here they croon,a call to casual murder you say? naaaaaaah it was only edgey comedy.

      I’ve left two comments in the last forty eight hours, neither of which lasted more than half an hour, which essentially goes to prove that even in disgrace these eco loons continue to stand true, to their Stalinist ethos.

      Other have had the same problem as me and are now using 10/10s poster facilities, to get  Their messages across.

        Loved the heroine of this topic ‘On my head with Ed’, rather highlighting that rather than the blank slate, new gen statesperson Aunty has been trying push the new Labour leaader as, he’s, well… watch the video.

      I’m sorry, but wasn’t Davis implying here that smoking cannabis was stupid?  Isn’t that the opposite of condoning it?

    Hey BBC, how can there possibly be an Al Qaeda plot to attack Paris?  The French didn’t help with Bush ‘n’ Blair’s illegal invasion of Iraq in which they murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent Mohammedans.  When the Chilcott inquiry was going on, you played over and over againt the segment where that official (can’t remember who it was now) was saying how the Iraq War was radicalizing Mohammedans everywhere, including the 7/7 bombers.  I doubt a single Al Qaeda member has seen a Frenchman in Afghanistan, either.  Come to think of it, when 9/11 happened, there were plenty of people all over the BBC airwaves saying how the US deserved it because of our horrible foreign policies which oppressed Mohammedans.  The French weren’t involved then, either.

    How can this be, BBC?  Do I blame this latest terrorist plot on my warmongering cowboy President for invading Pakistan and murdering innocents with cowardly (according to Bill Maher) drones?  Why would Mohammedans want to attack the French when they are not involved in Iraq?

      Pretty sure the Paris plot is a response to Charles Martel & the battle of Tours (732 AD), which involved the Franks being very intolerant to their peaceful Muslim immigrants, just as now, mutatis mutandi, their descendants are being nasty to the Roma.

      Since said Muslims reached as far as Tours, it follows that all the bits of France they traversed on the way are actually Muslim now and forever, and the perfidious Froggies should hand them over now.

      Hope this is helpful.

      Buggy.

    Rod Liddle has a point – for once, it’s not about his own smug superiority after trying to wind up Spectator readers – about the BBC employee’s union suspending their first scheduled strike.

    He has sympathy for Helen Boaden’s very, very young people being paid very, very low wages.  Liddle suggests that it’s the excessive reliance on poorly compensated short-term contracts at the production level were in part responsible for those phone-in scandals from a while back.  In my view, this can easily be extrapolated into what’s behind a significant amount of BBC bias on the website.
