    Good News Everyone!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24461644

    Eco terrorist Greenpeace pirates also drug runners and spies. Of course they’re innocent according to the terrorist supporting broadcasting corporation

    i like this sentence from al beeb

    “Thirty people are being held on suspicion of “piracy” after activists attempted to scale a Russian oil rig.”

    why put piracy in quotes? why not put activists in quotes? They’ve been arrested for piracy and to most people they are eco terrorists not activists, unless of course youre a swivell eyed looney lefty

    if only western governments would stand up to terrorism like russia does, thousands of OAPs wouldnt die in the UK this winter because they cant afford to heat their homes

    The BBC and precedent, like so much with the nation’s least trustworthy media monopoly, that is usually honoured more in the selectivity of its application, depending on who they like, or don’t..

    Anybody notice just how quickly the unwelcome (to the BBC) news that the ‘Torykutz’ have not destroyed the nation (as predicted by the BBC) vanished from the news agenda. I am fairly sure that if this survey had shown that Labour was right in its shroud waving then it may have got a little more exposure….

    Similarly the rapid disappearance of the unwelcome news that the Labour education policy from 1997 to 2010 has been proven to be a complete catastrophe with Britain now 21st out of 23 nations in literacy and numeracy for 16 to 24 year olds.

    Oh, and while I am at it the BBC’s ability to ignore the upgrading of UK economic growth (despite the BBC constantly telling me there would be a ‘triple dip’ recession)

    Strange isn’t it when a nespaper being blunt about a politicians father can dominate BBC coverage for a whole week. Makes you wonder if the BBC is grinding any axes…..
