ARTIFICIAL TREES

Comments Off on ARTIFICIAL TREES

Another day on the BBC and another example of eco-wackery. This time, ladies and gentlemen, I offer you artificial trees. The underlying premise, of course, is that mankind is to blame for “climate change” – that is settled science, right? Listening to Professor Hoskins is really quite frightening and yet this is what the Royal Society is thinking. I wish they didn’t bother.

SAM’S BARRED?

How DARE British security services keep an eye on Communist sympathisers back in the 1950’s? Have a listen to this paean to Sam Wanamaker. There’s nothing the BBC likes better than a Commie lover.

FUEL UP, COULD BE WORSE

Comments Off on FUEL UP, COULD BE WORSE

Hope all you motorists out there enjoy filling up this morning at the higher pump price care of Mr Brown and his pals. Watched the BBC news cover this topic last night and they helpfully showed us that fuel prices were even higher in France and Germany so it could be worse, right? In the BBC world, the motorist can never be punished enough for having the temerity not to use “public transport” and attempts are made all the time to justify punitive government action against the road user. If only we would all work for the government and travel at assignated times in State provided transport…sigh….

AUGUST AND OUT!

Comments Off on AUGUST AND OUT!

Well, we have reached the end of another month and I just wanted to thank you all for your continued patronage of the site. This month has seen the highest number of stories posted and whilst I know that they vary in import, and inevitably there is hit and miss! – I like keeping things lively and topical. The site is attracting more and more followers and is read in places high and low.

I also owe a debt of gratitude to those who mail me so many good stories to cover – there are many eagle eyes out there. My thanks to all my fellow writers here on B-BBC and here’s to a good September.

IF I COULD TALK TO THE TALIBAN..

Comments Off on IF I COULD TALK TO THE TALIBAN..

Mr Doolittle, McDoom is determined to talk to the Taliban as part of his fantasy strategy in Afghanistan. British Governments have proven rather good at selling out to terrorists over the years and I do appreciate that Brown is merely following in the same dishonourable tradition as Major and Blair but I do wish the BBC would provide balancing voices to those sirens such as Col Richard Kemp. The meme is that if we listen to those wise old coves in the F.O. and sit down and talk to these dark age barbarians then perhaps we can conquer and divide, although I note that the Colonel does make the precautionary suggestion that talking to Mullar Omah is not possible….”at this stage”. How very shrewd. How long before we have a chat with Bin Laden?

I have been a long time advocate of the war on militant Islam. 9/11 marked the dividing moment for me but I feel that under Obama and now with McDoom the original momentum has gone out of things as liberal values re-assert themselves and we forget what happened the last time the Taliban got their base. I don’t think that there is any such thing as “moderate” Taliban but the political left and their courtiers in the BBC believe otherwise. Hence this sort of ever so helpful item to Brown and his white flag brigade.

A BRIGHT IDEA?

Did you catch this interview with Matt Prescott, director of campaign group Ban the Bulb? Fawning. It’s eco-loons like Prescott that IMPOSE their agenda on the rest of us and I would have thought that the BBC could have found at least ONE person to come on the programme and put the alternative view that banning “traditional” lightbulbs is both draconian and entirely ineffective at”fighting” the climate change chimera which so concern Mr Prescott.

NO SELFISH ECONOMIC INTEREST???

Comments Off on NO SELFISH ECONOMIC INTEREST???

Had a laugh at this item the BBC ran this morning. In essence the suggestion is that the UK Government did not do a deal with Libya for commercial advantage. Oliver Miles, deputy chairman of the Libyan British Business Council, was wheeled on to suggest there was probably some “political” deal though the objective of this was unspecified. Of COURSE there was a deal for commercial and political advantage. Palmerston’s adage remains as true now as ever but for some reason the BBC want us to think that Labour, being good little socialists, would never do something just for £££. Labour’s political DNA is all over this one and the one thing we do know for sure from the track record is that when it comes to cash. Labour will do anything. Prostituting decency in pursuance of riches is no problem for them. No blood for oil anyone?

SPOT THE MISSING WORD…

Mohammed Rafiq Passwala

“A sex offender deemed to be a danger to women and children has absconded from a psychiatric unit in West Yorkshire. Mohammed Rafiq Passwala did not return to Fieldhead Hospital, near Wakefield, after being given unsupervised leave. Passwala, who was convicted of sex offences in 1996, is described as Asian, 5ft 7in tall, of stocky build with black/grey hair and a full beard.”

“Asian”, eh? Mmmm, I think there’s another word that the BBC appears to have overlooked.

Dhimmis.

INSTITUTIONALISED BIAS

I listened to this programme on Tuesday past and dare you to do the same. It’s an opportunity for BBC favourite Human Rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith to pontificate. A nice little lefty love-in, tucked away in the schedule for your edification.

COMPASSION EVERYWHERE..

Comments Off on COMPASSION EVERYWHERE..

And, next up on The Big Question, “Should we always show compassion?” The BBC finds a lady who survived 7/7 and who feels that we cannot judge those who carried out this atrocity. She has been on a journey over the past four years and feels that the perpetrators have been radicalised and so were not to blame. Great. I am sure the Imam on the panel approved. They also had the parents of a young boy kicked to death – they wanted their son’s killer released from jail as they had forgiven him. There is a more subtle meme here – the BBC approves of the release of convicted mass murderer Megrahi by the gutless SNP – and the notion is that we must all show “compassion.”
