The BBC in full synchronised cry with Obama regarding the evils of BP. The game seems to be one of proving how poor BP have behaved so far, then daring Cameron to kick Obama’s ass. In all of this, there is a visceral hatred of a successful once British company and a desire to somehow socialise “Big Oil” by “spreadin’ some of that wealth around.” It seems the BBC approves … Continue reading
Don’t ya just love ’em – the greenies? BBC global warmist alarmist Mark Kinver details here the truly terrifying row between “environmentalists” and the European Commission over biofuels. On the one side, the EU is doing what it does best – creating new layers of lunatic bureaucracy to “certify” that forests cut down for biofuel are not doing ecological harm. They proudly declare that their new laws are the “most … Continue reading

Interesting BBC treatment of the Spanish past. On the one hand, in this programme “The Art of Spain” the BBC proclaims the glorious Islamic rule that Spain enjoyed and how much we owe to that missed Muslim golden age.

I suppose when we consider that the report is by Barbara Plett (Remember her?) we should not be too surprised to read the Mad Mullah’s plans to bring about a Second Holocaust gets a sympathetic press. Headed “Fourth Iran sanctions; Last Resort or Lost Opporunity?” Plett ensures that any tough approach to Iran is contextualised against the background of a kindly artistic people whose only crime is toy seek nuclear … Continue reading
Did you read this curious piece by Mark Easton? The home secretary says her demand that foreign wives and husbands of British citizens learn basic English before they come to the UK is about promoting integration. But critics claim there’s a more sinister and discriminatory reason for introducing the new rules. So it’s now ‘sinister’ to demand people speakEnglish? Oh well this is what you might expect “critics” to say. Mark then reveals … Continue reading
This was pointed out to me as an example of the pernicious menace of the BBC. Have a read. We’re all told to watch our carbon footprint these days, but some so-called “environmental nasties” are not as bad as you might think – at least from a carbon point of view, says Mike Berners-Lee.

Has anyone being following the terrifying messages being delivered with chilling fanaticism in this year’s annual BBC propaganda-fest, the Reith lectures? Lord Rees of Ludlow regards humankind as a disease or a “fever”. Man-made global warming is an indisputable fact that must be tackled before and above everything else. He talks menacingly about over-population and unsustainability (so did Hitler). He postulates a new cadre of scientists (who think similarly to … Continue reading
Did you listen to this interview with Comrade Derek Simpson? I felt that Justin Webb was nipping at his ankles but holding off from taking a bite out of him. Why was no-one from BA interviewed?
