    Who killed Lucy Beale? Who f**king cares? BBC desperately try to bump up this steaming pile of dog poo! No one I know is talking about it, no one I know is interested.

    “Political donations: Conservatives received most in final quarter of 2014”

    This is crafty. The BBC have cleverly used the word “donations” in the headline to avoid revealing that Labour actually got the most cash (topped up from public money). You need to scroll to the graphic to see this.

      Guessing, as with other sacred tomes, the BBC Editorial Guidelines have the necessary obscure chapters to validate such censorship?

      I was aware of this and it is yet another reason why we must now refuse to engage on any terms with the BBC. I mean on any terms at all. It is pointless. When I hear them talk of freedom and free speech and the right to know and all the other rubbish they use to conceal their perfidy I know that they have chosen sides. If our culture is to survive it will be in spite of these people and not with their aid.
      We are on our own.

      This incident of overt BBC censorship concerned Douglas Murray. He describes it in his full and very solid Spectator article :

    It has been said that placing of ‘quotes’ can be used to frame certain words to suggest cynicism.

    http://bbcwatch.org/2015/02/20/bbc-analysis-of-copenhagen-terror-promotes-faux-linkage-to-israel-but-erases-attacks-on-jews/

    Certainly when one sees the word ‘analysis’ connected with the BBC, after it has been passed through its unique filters, this seems legitimate.

    ‘…there MUST be a bias there…’

    Bright and early this morning BBC tv takes us to Holywood for the preparations for the Oscars 2015. Our reporter is most keen to tell us all about the age and gender make-up of the movie Academy judges. Facts and figures come thick and fast and we learn the average age is sixty-something and they are mostly guys.

    Ahhh! The BBC howls, these old film buffers must obviously prefer movies ‘which represent themselves’.

    Strange isn’t it, whenever the bourgeois metropolitan Oxbridge liberal-arts elite lefties who run the BBC are challenged about their biases they always insist it ain’t so.

    The anti-Russian agenda continues on breakfast complete with guest “expert”. Reports of the Russian air force TU-95 probing flights. Old news of course because it’s some considerable time since Putin announced these flights were going to resume, in fact 2007. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/18/world/europe/17cnd-russia.html?hp&_r=0 I don’t seem to recall the sofa sloths making a big song and dance about the reductions in UK armed forces

      Funny, really, isn’t it? Are the RAF going to engage, or shoot down some wandering Russian Bear, just because it’s hanging around UK airspace? They wouldn’t dare. The EU are really going to have to learn the hard way.

        Even it it’s heydays of the 50’s and 60’s the R.A.F would have been totally unable to defend UK sky’s against Russian ,attack at best they were just there to buy time! for the leader to try to stop any war and if they failed then the Nukes would fly!
        Ramping up the rhetoric over these flights is stupid accidents/incidents happen that way! the BBC should be utterly slapped down for it !

          Beg to differ, throughout the Cold War many good men and women were able to put up enough fighters at a far enough distance to maintain our airspace.
          Not every raid and not every enemy aircraft would have been dealt with if the war turned hot, but the majority of them would have been splashed. Total air supremacy would have been and still is, anywhere on the planet, impossible to achieve, however they would have made the loss rate eye watering for an enemy and will still do so today. Russian aircrew know if things get nasty they would very likely die, that would have a big effect on their morale.

    Today this morning (Friday), its big interview was about bed blocking leading to discussion about ‘co-ordinated care’ which of course is the latest Labour idea for health care in this country, although I switched off before Labour was mentioned. How was this story chosen, what inspired it? (Surely not weaponising the NHS). But the example of Southampton Hospital was given where 70% of the beds have late discharges. Set me wondering how Southampton was chosen. Does one of the Today team ring round all the hospitals they can think of, or was Southampton chosen at random? Or has someone from Southampton contacted the programme or indeed was it a local story gone national? They were very careful to blame ‘reductions’ in the social service budget rather than ‘cuts’ and they explained how efficient they had become but the implied message was there.

      Well maybe you turned off more than your radio because the NHS has been suffer cuts in real terms under the Conservatives and one of the accepted causes of A & E backing up in the lack of sufficient beds.(a third of gemanys) I know it’s good to pretend we are back in the 50’s but the reality is the policy of integrating care with the NHS is generally accepted as a way forward.What is also widely accepted is that Lansley’s undemocratic reforms have been a disaster adding nothing except bigger lawyers bills and a more fragmented services with more bureaucracy.This happens when stupidity,of which there seems plenty in the Tory party , is left to run wild.

        When Labour opened the immigration doors to rub the Right’s nose in diversity, they would, as a responsible government, have made provision for the huge costs of free education and healthcare that would follow on. Can you point us to a source that outlines their calculations?

    BREAKING: BBC NHS NEWS Channel, Anita McVeigh; AandE targets missed for twentieth week in a row.

    I thought I was hearing a break earlier in the week, when a story began ‘There has been an improvement in the AandE ……’ But turned out….it was Wales!
