I thought this was a really interesting insight on a current BBC story from a Biased BBC reader;

“There is a report today on the BBC website about the government wanting all foreign doctors working in the NHS to be able to speak English. At present, EU-registered doctors are exempt from such a requirement, due to the Alice In Wonderland laws that currently prevail. The move has been precipitated due to the case of Dr Daniel Ubani – described as a “German” locum doctor – who managed to kill a patient on his first and only shift in the UK.

At the end of the article, the BBC makes the following plea: “Are you a foreign doctor working in England? What do you make of the government’s plans? Send us your thoughts and comments using the form below.”

Now, is it me just being unduly sensitive, but why are they are asking for such comments? If they are seeking opinions, surely the only ones that really matter are those of patients?

Surely the question should be “Are you a patient whose health treatment has been unduly affected by the use of doctors who cannot adequately speak English?”

Obviously such a question should only be open to NHS patients, and not the 500+ BBC executives who receive private health care as part of their contracts and are presumably unaffected. It may seem a small point, but it is indicative of the general mindset of the BBC, where victims and the guilty are carefully rearranged.”

Oh, and one final point. Ubani is “German” but was born in Nigeria only gaining German  citizenship. Perhaps the BBC should provide this little detail when it is at it.

BiasedBBC is recruiting…we’re looking for agents for our network who can successfully infiltrate and negotiate surreptitiously the labyrinthine corridors of the BBC and whistleblow, leak or steal, in BBC parlance, information that is in the Public Interest….if you are in a position to influence and guide BBC policy towards a more enlightened and impartial approach to reporting news that is an added bonus.

To that end I bring to your attention two positions that have fallen vacant at the BBC…we are nothing if not ambitious at BiasedBBC:

Director, BBC Television

The BBC is the world’s leading public service broadcaster.

As a member of the Executive board, reporting to the Director-General, this role will play a significant part in the BBC’s strategy and output, ensuring that the BBC always holds the trust of the people who pay for it and distinguishes itself through the best possible content, effective distribution and organisational efficiency.   As an inspirational leader with a strong, clear vision, you’ll bring extensive experience of leadership in a creative organisation, and demonstrate a clear understanding of the public service ethos of the BBC.

The real criteria for the jobs….a willingness to work for enormously rewarding remuneration and a gold plated pension, a desire for generous legal funding should your underlings let you down, a hands off approach to management and the ability to stay calm in a crisis by keeping above the mêlée, and the delegation of blame…sorry…responsibility downwards to your staff demonstrating trust in their abilities.

Should you be successful in your application BiasedBBC look forward to a long and successful career for you and hope you  can pass along some useful gossip before you go native and are subsumed by the BBC culture and comfortable lifestyle that seduces people into surrendering their principles in exchange for life in the BBC bubble.

…and remember this is of critical importance:

‘…ensuring that the BBC always holds the trust of the people who pay for it…..and demonstrate a clear understanding of the public service ethos of the BBC.‘

The BBC have been forced to admit that their usual hugely damaging anti-British rhetoric is wrong.

The BBC ever ready to do down our own troops whilst giving favourable coverage to terrorists has been proven wrong as it tried to rewrite hsitory as Christopher Booker reports in the Telegraph:

‘There are few more futile exercises in this world than trying to get the BBC to admit it has got anything wrong. Normally, after a series of fruitless exchanges with apparatchiks in the BBC Complaints Unit, each more dead-bat than the last, most people give up in despair. Not so Henry Keown-Boyd, who was aggrieved to hear the BBC news reporting last April on how, in the Fifties, Britain had “brutally suppressed” an “uprising against British rule” in Malaya.

Having served in Malaya for 15 months as an officer in the Hussars, Mr Keown-Boyd was keenly aware that, far from this being a typical nationalist uprising, British and local Malay forces had for 12 years fought a textbook jungle campaign to prevent the country being ruthlessly taken over by a small ethnic minority of Chinese communists, who were given full support by both Mao’s and Stalin’s dictatorships. No one was keener to see off this vicious threat than the Malays themselves, who finally ended the rising in 1960, three years after winning peaceful independence from Britain.

So determined was Mr Keown-Boyd to get the BBC to set the record straight that, after nine months of the usual “get lost” replies, he has finally received a three-page letter from Fraser Steel, Head of BBC Complaints, to say that their researches “support the view that this was an inaccurate and materially misleading way of describing the Malay Emergency”. Well done, Mr Steel.

But knowing the BBC staff’s usual Guardianista view of British historical events that happened before most of them were born, I suspect this may not be the last time that better-informed listeners will have cause for amazed alarm at how little they seem to know.’

How many years before the BBC recognises that their pro-Palestinian view of the Middle East is an ‘inaccurate and misleading way of describing the conflict there.’

Whilst Britain’s spy chiefs have opened up the files and become more open and transparent our purveyor of light entertainment and world news has battened down the hatches in a move worthy of Stalin’s KGB.

But that is not the first example of extremely disturbing Institutional self interest on the part of the BBC.

The BBC is never happier than when chasing down those who don’t uphold the values of an open and accountable deomocratic society…..

‘A report by the CIA’s own inspector general compiled in 2004, which had previously been published only in a heavily redacted form (so much of the text was blanked out that it was rendered incomprehensible), has now been placed in the public domain on the orders of a federal judge.’

….But whilst the BBC demands that the Intelligence Services reveal whether they have been involved in torture the BBC itself has refused to disclose whether its journalists have been engaged in conduct which led to the death of Jews or contributed to the atmosphere that leads Jews around the world to live in constant fear of being attacked….and that includes Jews in progressive Britain.

The BBC was forced to conduct a review of its Middle East coverage by pressure from the Israeli government.   The Balen Report was the result.  We have never been allowed to see that Report.

So secret, so presumably disturbing and of such calamitous findings, that it has been buried.  The BBC spent £300,000 to stop publictaion of this review of its journalism.

We have seen the damage that suppression of information does when institutions seek to hide their failings.   Thousands can die.  How many die because of the BBC?

Stafford Hospital: Hiding mistakes ‘should be criminal offence’

NHS staff should face prosecution if they are not open and honest about mistakes, according to a public inquiry into failings at Stafford Hospital.  Years of abuse and neglect at the hospital led to the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of patients.  But inquiry chairman, Robert Francis QC, said the failings went right to the top of the health service.

Hiding journalistic ‘mistakes’ should also be classified as crimes…if the mistakes are a result of deliberate bias.

If the Rotten Patten doesn’t release this report he should be removed.

If Tony Hall doesn’t publish this report he should be sent packing…..and not with a year’s pay.

The BBC want to talk to the Taliban but they don’t want to talk to climate sceptics.

If you’re a God fearing Taliban commander who has killed British soldiers you’re guaranteed a slot on the Today programme, if you’re someone who blasphemously denies Co2 kills polar bears you can go hang.

Two things:

Wind farms will create more carbon dioxide, say scientists

Thousands of Britain’s wind turbines will create more greenhouse gases than they save, according to potentially devastating scientific research to be published later this year.

‘Nothing off-limits’ in climate debate’

As you turn up the heating you must remember…snow, icy artic winds and spring delayed….. this is only ‘weather’.  The underlying trend is an ever increasing heating of the Globe bringing with it apocalyptic extremes of climate variously burning and drowning the world in a Biblical scourge of the guilty gassers.

The BBC’s latest tale of grim retribution by Mother Nature has the revelation that you’d better dig out your water wings….we’re gonna drown folks…washed away by a Tsunami of ever rising tides as the massed bodies of dead polar bears force sea levels to rise engulfing us in floods that would have had Noah setting to work.

Former Vice President Al Gore summed up this view when he wrote: “Every night on the news now, practically, is like a nature hike through the book of Revelations.

The Drowning City

In October last year, Hurricane Sandy ripped into New York, taking lives, sparking a huge fire, flooding subways and tunnel connections and leaving thousands without power for days.

Isabel Hilton reports on the aftermath of the hurricane in New York. As sea levels are predicted to keep rising, she looks at what New York and other threatened coastal cities might do to prepare for future storms.

Hurricane Sandy was a wake up call to New York and to many other coastal cities that have to face the reality of rising sea levels and increased chances of hurricanes and storm surges.

And if you think  ‘New York…so what?’…you’d be so so wrong…..

Why London could be “doomed”

Isabel Hilton reports on the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in New York.

She speaks to Irwin Redlener, MD of The National Center for Disaster Preparedness and seismologist Klaus Jacobs who tells her why rising sea levels mean London and other cities could be “doomed”.

Is Hurrican Sandy the result of global warming?  Is there a rise in extreme climate?
New Report: ‘Extreme Weather Report 2012’: ‘Latest peer-reviewed studies, data & analyses undermine claims that current weather is ‘unprecedented’ or a ‘new normal’ 

Guess not.

The BBC’s whole case is based on the Earth warming …so how does it explain the fact that it hasn’t warmed for at least 17 years….as even the IPPC’s boss, Rajendra Pachauri now admits.….no warming…how can there be extreme weather caused by warming if there is no warming? ….and if so why aren’t we talking about it…especially as Pachauri says:

‘Nothing off-limits’ in climate debate’

THE UN’s climate change chief, Rajendra Pachauri, has acknowledged a 17-year pause in global temperature rises, confirmed recently by Britain’s Met Office, but said it would need to last “30 to 40 years at least” to break the long-term global warming trend.
Dr Pachauri, the chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that open discussion about controversial science and politically incorrect views was an essential part of tackling climate change.

And it seems others have long had doubts about the alarmism:

The UK Guardian’s Leo Hickman, a prominent media activist for man-made global warming, was embarrassed by Gore’s extreme weather link to man-made global warming linkage.

“I was a little nervous this morning logging into Climate Reality…And, I have to say, my heart immediately sank,” when viewing it, Hickman wrote. Hickman asked: “Is Gore now a help or hindrance to global warming cause?” See: Hickman on Gore’s ‘Death by PowerPoint’— “I have suffered this torture too many times over the years…[Gore’s show had] slide after slide of extreme weather events…& linking everyone, it seemed, to rise in [man-made] emissions…that is a very contentious peg on which to hang your hat…That kind of talk traditionally requires lots of caveats and careful explaining. Done with abandon and raw emotion – as this presenter seemed to be doing – and you are quickly labeled in some quarters as a climate ‘alarmist.’”

Comic Relief came early to R4 this week with the release of a Monty Pythonesque sketch in the form of an interview by Evan Davis with Danny Alexander.

Alexander provided the straightman to Evan’s very own comedy double act….What was the ‘gag’?  Evan interviewing Evan…Alexander didn’t have to say much just providing a sounding board for Evan’s commiedy genius.

Contrast that with Humphry’s interview with Balls where it was the politician providing the comic lines…surely practising for pantomine.    Whilst Davis was full of his own genius Humphrys took it easy and Balls got a pretty easy ride.

No wonder the Tories are complaining saying:

“It is beyond a joke,” the source said “It all looks far too cosy.”

“How is it possible not to think that is biased?”

A BBC spokesman said: “Our coverage of government policy is approached in the same independent and impartial way as our coverage of any story.”

The BBC also said an individual’s personal views did not impact on their ability to carry out their work in an impartial manner and there were strict guidelines which must be observed at all times.

That’s the funniest thing to come out of the BBC in years.

Can’t say I am in the least surprised to read that the UK has lost its triple AAA credit rating. After all, when the Coalition follows Keynesian follies and refuses to cut the size of the State then it is highly likely growth will be sluggish, and as former Conservative Deputy PM Michael Heseltine stated the other evening, no government will cut spending on Welfare and the NHS since that is just not politically expedient. So, Osborne deserves all he gets, But IS IT a big deal? For example, we have Ed Balls touring BBC studios this morning explaining how “humiliating” it is for the UK to lose its AAA rating. Nobody from the BBC asked him was it “humiliating” for Obama when the US was stripped of its AAA rating last year. Nobody from the BBC asked him if it was “humiliating” for Monsieur Hollande when France as stripped of its triple AAA rating last year. It appears that humiliation accrues only to Conservative Chancellors and the BBC is quite content to leave it that way.

The sheer cynicism of Labour, and Ed Balls in particular, is staggering and yet he gets such an easy treatment at the hands of the BBC who obviously agree with Balls that we solve our Debt by splashing more cash and taxing the “rich”.

Well, that’s what Jeremy Paxman thinks;

“It was ‘common gossip’ at the BBC that Jimmy Savile liked young girls before he was outed as a paedophile, it emerged today as the Corporation released 3,000 pages of redacted evidence into their handling of the sex abuse scandal.

Newsnight host Jeremy Paxman made the claim as the evidence gathered during an inquiry into the show’s decision to drop its Jimmy Savile sex abuse investigation was published this morning by the BBC in a bid to be ‘open and transparent’. But there were accusations from Tory peer Lord McAlpine that too much evidence was redacted in the release, which came out at 11am.

Mr Paxman said it was ‘common gossip that Jimmy Savile liked young girls’ and also spoke of the ‘terrible’ BBC press operation, adding that ‘there is a real problem in finding spokesman who will defend an articulate point of view’. He added that ‘the news division has essentially been taken over by radio… these people belong to a different kind of culture’.

Mr Paxman, 62, said the behaviour of the BBC over the Savile investigation was ‘contemptible’. He also told the inquiry that ‘the important question’ was how Savile had been allowed to rise to prominence within the BBC. He said: ‘What was the BBC doing promoting this absurd figure, this absurd and malign figure? And I think that has to do with the fact of the BBC having been aloof from popular culture for so long.”

Thoughts?

I had the great misfortune to catch most of BBC Question Time last evening, recorded at St Paul’s. We had the usual biased panel; Saint Vince Cable (left and much loved by the BBC)  Michael Heseltine (He stabbed Thatcher in the back and is fervently pro EU)  Rev Giles  Fraser (Raving left)  Diana “Divide and Rule” Abbott (Left) and by way of “balance”, the maverick Peter Hitchens.  The part of the debate which REALLY galled was concerning the “white flight” from London — 600,000 WHITE Britains have fled the capital in a decade.  The general consensus is that a/ It is WRONG to record how many White people there are in the Census  2/ Immigration made Britain and London and 3/ Don’t mention Islam.  Abbott was particularly galling, I have to say, claiming on several occasions that the exodus is all about class, not a sense of no longer feeling at home in London as parts of it resemble downtown Jihadistan. Isn’t this the same Abbott who tweeted that “whites like to pay the divide and rule” tactic and who also accused London taxi drivers off being racist? For her to sit there and preen as the very modern incarnation of multicultural magnanimity  was nauseating.  Even by BBC Question Times, this was appalling bias.
