PEACE OFF!

Comments Off on PEACE OFF!

Right, I will admit that I am a long term critic of US former Senator George Mitchell. Met him during the Northern Ireland peace process talks, figured him as a smooth-talking appeaser of terrorism, and told him so. Not that he could care less what people like me think, after all, we don’t kill people who disagree with us. It’s Georgie-boy who is now leading efforts to appease the thugs who run Syria and who support terrorism against Israel. This glowing BBC report does mention, in passing, that Boy Bashar supports the Palestinian..ahem… “militant” group Hamas, backs Hezbollah in Lebanon, and has close links with Iran. But hey, apart from that, surely he is an ideal partner for peace. That’s what Mitchell and US State reckons and that’s what the BBC pushes. In truth, Syria is a pro-terror tyranny but in this golden age of Obama, it is now seen as a beacon for hope and change.

SHOULD GREAT APES HAVE RIGHTS?

Great to see Nicky Campbell’s “The Big Questions” debating that momentous issue of our times, namely should Apes have rights? The usual vacuous drivel from Campbell although the choice of the panel was surprisingly pleasing, with Peter Hitchins and Douglas Murray on it. That said, the audience were the usual moonbats that the BBC specialises in assembling. There was a bit of a class warfare discussion on “social mobility” and the use of grammar schools in achieving this. Naturally most of the audience were howling against the return of the grammar schools. We then had a discussion on the great issue of the Apes and finally a debate on why “downsizing” is good for the soul. It’s liberal faux anti-consumerism to the core, of course but in a way I agree. Let’s start by downsizing the BBC. Nicky Campbell, you are the weakest link, goodbye!

IN THE LINE OF DUTY?

Comments Off on IN THE LINE OF DUTY?

Always nice to see the BBC giving prominence to those in our armed forces who desert their post.

Lance Corporal Joe Glenton is being charged with desertion. He went absent
without leave in 2007 after a particularly unhappy period in the army and having
been told he would have to go back to Afghanistan. It is said he “has
problems” with the military operation in Afghanistan.

The BBC is inherently anti-military and is thus attracted to those who desert their comrades in pursuit of their own moral equivocations. Lance Cpl Glenton knew the terms of serving his country and the fact that he then decided to run away from the battle does not make him a hero or a cause celebre except through the eyes of the BBC. He is a common deserter and should be made to pay the price.

HOT AIR

For some odd reason, I figure this is a story the BBC won’t be running anytime soon! You see, it appears that a new peer-reviewed climate study is presenting a head on challenge to man-made global warming claims.

The study by three climate researchers appears in the July 23, 2009 edition of Journal of Geophysical Research. Three Australasian researchers have shown that natural forces are the dominant influence on climate, in a study just published in the highly-regarded Journal of Geophysical Research. According to this study little or none of the late 20th century global warming and cooling can be attributed to human activity. Oh no! But I thought “the debate is over” and “the science is settled”?

Expect the BBC to remain mute on this – doesn’t gain the same ratings as “End of world due any day now”, does it? Nor does it fit the narrative! No, THIS is the relentless pro AGW line the BBC peddles.

THAT NORWICH NORTH RESULT!

Comments Off on THAT NORWICH NORTH RESULT!

OK, the result is in and Labour is out! Another humiliation for Brown and yet, and yet, can the Conservatives be happy? I mean the BBC have been emphasising how much effort Cameron out into this (Did no other Party bother then?) but do not despair. Nick Robinson has some guidance for us here. As we travel towards the end of days for Labour, it is going to be entertaining watching the BBC try and spin it for their socialist comrades. I enjoy the way BBC pundits keep repeating that this result – whilst bad for Brown – will not trigger any questions on his continued leadership! Great stuff. This was a particularly dire result for the BBC with the people of Norwich North also turning their backs on the Lib-Dems and even..gasp..the Greens! That’s the problem with the electorate – they just will not behave as the elite expect. Your comments on the coverage?

JEW HATING FRIDAY….

Comments Off on JEW HATING FRIDAY….

Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor is an affable soul and I always wonder how he can keep his cool when provoked by some of the Anti-Israeli venom endemic in the UK media, including the BBC. Here’s him doing a great job when interviewed by posh Ed Stourton on Today this morning. Ed insists that Jerusalem is “occupied” land and was pushing the Pali/Obama line that Israel must not build within the boundaries of it’s own capital city. Throughout the interview, Prosor showed great restraint and I did enjoy his observation that Jerusalem was the capital city for the Jewish people back in the days when London was still a swamp. Stourton was outraged when Prosor pointed out that Jerusalem was never a capital for the Arab world. The BBC really DOES hate the Jewish people. Three cheers for Prosor and a loud raspberry for dhimmi Stourton.

MARK EASTON – NARCOTICS WARRIOR

Comments Off on MARK EASTON – NARCOTICS WARRIOR

Managed to catch the ubiquitous Mark Easton sharing his thoughts on the battle to control illegal narcotics here this morning. There was a bit of a consensus from Mark and Mike Trace, chairman of the “international drug policy consortium”. Can you guess what it was? Yes, that’s right – being tough on drug dealers and cracking down on their illegal networks just doesn’t work. We need to find more, erm, creative ways of “managing” this issue. Probably best to just legalise all drugs and let people get on with poisoning themselves and corrupting our kids, right?

NEW TRICKS BUT SAME OLD AGENDA

Comments Off on NEW TRICKS BUT SAME OLD AGENDA

One of the few BBC programmes that I regularly enjoy is “New Tricks”. I think it’s a right laugh and I do enjoy the rather lovely Amanda Redman solving crime! HOWEVER, last night, in the run-in to the last Question Time liveblog, the New Tricks episode was all about a US secret rendition flight to Guantanamao Bay from England which had crashed on take-off killing innocent British citizens. The bad CIA had swooped on some of our finest Brits, you see, and were whizzing them off to be tortured. This agitprop was only off-set by the parallel plot that they MIGHT have been aliens of the close encounters of the third kind kind!! Now I am prepared to watch Amanda and the boys solve any crime BUT I do object to some blatant leftist anti-American propaganda spoiling an otherwise decent series. Perhaps this is the sort of left of centre thinking that Ben Stephenson is so anxious to see much more?

David Dimbleby will be joined in Norwich by Geoff Hoon MP, Baroness Warsi, Baroness Williams, Clive James and George Galloway MP. I hope YOU will be joining this – the last QT of the season. With the verminious Galloway being given more publicity by the BBC, the omnipresent Shirl the Pearl, the gormless Hoon, there should be plenty for US to talk about. Make sure you come along…!
