    Big energy firms’ prices challenged by Ofgem

    The BBC at it again on behalf of Millipede & Liebour. What they aren’t saying is that the energy companies claim to have forward bought their gas supplies (and lets not forget that most electricity is generated with gas). This is because of the threat of Millipede pegging the cost of Gas & Electric should he be elected.

    Now this may or may not be true, but the fact that the BBC has chosen not to report it shows a huge bias. If it does turn out to be true it shows the damage Labour can do even when they’re not in power !

      The wholesale gas and electricity prices have been falling for sometime now and as a result those using these energy supplies should have seen a fall in their energy bills. This has not happened so Ofgem have got interested. The main reason why the BBC are not really flagging this up is because if Milliband had pegged the prices, and falls in the wholesale prices which could have been reflected in household energy bills going down couldn’t have happened. And there are still people in thus country who vote Labour? Are they really that brain dead?

    Every time I turn on the news all I am seeing is Islamic violence, Islamic extremism and Islamic this and tahat etc. The trouble this religion brings is just relentless. Everywhere Islam goes it causes trouble, I’m afraid. And yet, the BBC and the Left still cry racist when a proud Englishman complains. What a pathetic and infantile country we have become.

    The Today show in the morning is fast turning into a parody.
    Yesterday morning we had a psychoanalysis of Donald Duck would you believe?…and this morning, we had the equally ludicrous idea that Hillary Clinton is bashfully and modestly waiting for her people to call her to her entitlement-the Presidency.
    Utter tripe-biased, smarmy language; and as far from the bitchfest that trashed Sarah Palin as it can be.
    Donald Duck for President!

    The Media( and especially the BBC) seem awful keen to trash the whole concept of “British Values”.
    Therefore-like UKIP-a good stick to shaft the liberal elite.
    British values for all of us-the British know what that means-and the nation hating Euro elites should be sent on a one way ticket to Brussels if they don`t pass a test as written by Jon Gaunt, Al Murray or Jeremy Clarkson.
    F888 off back to Common Purpose, Brussels, you guilt riddled race hustlers and grievance farmers

    I had the misfortune to listen to Radio 4 News at one, today and then later I had the misfortune to watch the bbbc evening news.

    Nearly all of the news today related to killing, murder and warmongering by Muslims being waged around the world and in my Country the news included the muslim extremist plot to rot the culture of the west (i.e . England) by brainwashing the children in their school years – A truly evil plot.
    Anyhow, ‘Call me Dave’ was too busy worrying about all that as he had to worry about his own position in the EU…….He threatens to withdraw from EU if Junckers is made the leader……Yeah, right! If he did that he may not get a really well paid job in the eu when he ‘retires’ from politics.

    I suppose we will have another speech soon telling us all how moderate the muslims really are and how we should all embrace other cultures and religions lead as usual and with great gusto by the awful bbbc…………..

    God help us all!

    Another example of balance, if not right-wing bias from the BBC. A harsh critique of this glorious socialist paradise, where all walk, linked arm-in-arm singing towards the bright new dawn of a better tomorrow. Brothers! Sisters! Let us all do it like the Venezuelans do!

    ‘The Fast Show’ repeated last night on BBC2 had a nice line in a sketch ‘Upstairs Monkfish Downstairs Monkfish’ with the tag line
    A show stolen from ITV who in turn stole it from the BBC, back in the days when the BBC was good and had its own ideas !

    When even Islington lovie Paul Whitehouse notices and starts having a dig then something is very very rotten in the BBC.

    The FIFA Supremo learns a thing or two about how to deflect criticism

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27762435

    “There is a sort of storm against Fifa relating to the Qatar World Cup,” Blatter said. “Sadly there’s a great deal of discrimination and racism.”

      Why not some party of influence in the UK invite the rest of the world FAs to a conference to propose a new world football governing body to replace the corrupt FIFA?
      Could also be a great party ‘marketing tool’.
      Everyone one would be talking about it and how many new supporters would it get.
      The mind alive already with new ideas for a new world order, ‘ a not for profit organisation’ that does not rape the host nation and instead pays taxes etc etc.

        Was thinking might be a good UKIP policy to put in their manifesto to keep the peoples army marching forward!
        Or perhaps I am a getting a bit too fanciful and desperate now for a way to save my country!

    The BBC seem to be a few weeks late to this story

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27783326

    Theresa May has denied claims of a crisis in the passport applications system despite an “unprecedented” demand for passports earlier this year.

    The Mail were on to it in May (if you’ll forgive the pun)

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2637819/Passport-chaos-threatens-ruin-half-term-getaway-overwhelmed-staff-struggle-issue-documents-time.html

    Thousands of families’ half-term holidays could be ruined next week due to mounting chaos at UK passport offices.

    Of course the BBC highlight what the Unions have to say:

    Unions have claimed job cuts over the past five years have caused long delays dealing with applications.

    The BBC are oblidged to quote the Home Secretary on the increase in demand:

    The home secretary told MPs there had been a “significant increase” in applications at the start of the year.

    But the BBC make no reference to any explanation – this is only found in the Mail’s report:

    The Passport Office, part of the Home Office, has received around 300,000 more applications since January than in the same period last year. A spokesman for the agency blamed the surge on ‘the improving economy and a rise in holiday bookings’.

    Messrs Balls and Miliband will be relieved that the BBC is shy of acknowledging the economic recovery.

    No, I’ve really had enough now. BBc Breakfast (how much do they get paid!) Today Chrissie Hynde, wonder if they’ll mention http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moors_Murderers. Then BBc favourite Bonnie Greer who according to announcer grew up in Chigaco “fighting racism” So I’m now watching Lorraine completely inane they are now talking about the “Brazilian bikini diet” but at least there doesn’t appear to be an agenda at work here.

    Amusing take on the Trojan Horse thingy here

    http://kingofdawah.tumblr.com/post/88298067713/statement-from-king-of-dawah-on-trojan-horse

    ‘Perhaps this whole affair should be renamed ‘Trojan Whores’ because as westerners complicit in being ourselves, essentially that is what we are”‘

    Of course these days the BBC can’t seem to find any non-Lefty humour

    Womans hour is discussing Angelina Jolies insane out of touch with realities attempts to stop rape as a weapon of war. It’s up to its usual left wing fascist liberal hand wringing Islamophilic best.

    Rape as a weapon of war is a war crime, and it’s a very effective weapon. The BBC mention that women who have been raped are rejected and any children they have as a result are regarded as ‘tainted’ by the enemies blood line.

    We hear the usual meaningless bully words of ‘discrimination’ ‘Racism’ ‘Sexism’ etc etc, which immediately tells me the speaker hasn’t got the first clue what they’re talking about. The use of bully words always signifies ignorance and a lack of insight.

    The fact is that most of these communities are Muslim and a woman is the property of a man. To them it’s like having their car stolen and craven by a malevolent stranger, and then not wanting to drive it again because its been driven by someone else.
    If the liberals want to see some change then they need to change the attitudes of the males having their wives raped. They need to learn that these women are victims who need care, not property which has been ruined.

    But that would mean challenging Islamic values, and that’s never going to happen.

    The reason it’s such an effective weapon is because of the reaction of the men. Change that and make the weapon ineffective and you might stand a ghost of a chance of preventing it.

    So sad that because of Political Correctness, the solution is off limits.

      Interestingly when I listened to it waiting to hear about the Middle East, apparently it only happens in Rwanda, Congo, and by Serbians in the Kosovo conflict. Muslims only as victims. No mention at all of Koranic inspired treatment of the inferior female.

    This made me laugh out loud, and I wonder when the BBC will pick it up and run it as a serious item, and not the fun it is.

    This is what freedom is about, mad, eccentric, taking the piss, and having a laugh.

    Somehow I think the intolerant crowd so beloved of the fascist left would like to exterminate the whole lot of them, and yet it’s events like this which show up all the fault lines in the fascists thinking.

    You cannot support a group of people wanting to execute people for having fun, and at the same time support the group causing offence.

    Latest in the never ending series of BBC articles about ‘Why do black….?’ (which always point to them being poor of course)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-27744391

    Hang on. If I had less money then I would breast feed as it’s MUCH cheaper than formula. But not in BBC land.
