The BBC is opposed to war. In the mind of the State Broadcaster it is never right to defend a Nation by taking action against a foreign power. So, when we helped in the liberation of Iraq, it got very cross and still whinges about how “illegal” that war was. Of course even as it churned out a daily mantra of pessimism whilst our brave soldiers were doing their duty … Continue reading
I suggest that one of the most dangerous features of the BBC is the persistent advocacy of the idea that prison does not work and that criminals should not be punished. In this new Ken Clarke era of liberal Justice, the BBC is doing everything possible to remove prison as a destination for criminals. This morning, on Today, at 6.50am, Northern Ireland’s “restorative justice” model was held up as a … Continue reading
Constant repetition of a word or phrase can transform it from eloquent to hollow. However perfectly it encapsulates a situation, over-use will render it meaningless.Trotted out over and over again, words like vilify, delegitimise, illegal war, international law, apartheid, and many more, lose their impact; particularly when they’re bandied about willy nilly by people who have no idea whether what they’ve said is justified, appropriate or the truth. Peace activist, … Continue reading

Jonathan Hoffman and Rabbi Tony Bayfield were asked for their views on an Ipsos Mori poll about whether British Jews were in favour of Motherhood and Apple Pie. They were. What was the question Mori asked? Would you prefer Katkins, or this bowl of broken glass? Nine out of ten cats prefer Katkins.Evan Davis queried why British Jews who support Israel should be thought of as courageous. With OUR reputation, … Continue reading
You have to laugh at it. Earlier this morning, the BBC on Today managed to find a businessman who was not ONLY in favour of the UK joining the Eurozone but ALSO in favour of the creation of a single European political State. I wonder how hard they had to look to find him? (Sorry but can’t find link, I think it was during Adam Shaw’s business section at 7.16am) … Continue reading
Turns out that Social Workers are to blame for the circumstances that led to Raoul Mote going on a killing spree. Or so this BBC report suggests. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
More than £3.6bn a year now floods in to the grubby palms of the overpaid executives who supposedly manage the BBC. The licence fee has gone up over the past five years by almost 15% to £142.50. But spending on new shows is plummeting, a survey by Ofcom has found. It has dropped from 65% of revenues in 1998 to only 56% now, and over the past three years, the … Continue reading
Former BBC favourite “Dr” Vince Cable was interviewed on Today @7.52am with regard to his suggestion that there should be a Graduate tax. During the interview, and in defence of his iniquitous scheme, Cable trotted out the mantra that the average graduate earned £100,000 across their working life than someone who did not attend University. This outdated assertion was not challenged. In fact there is plenty of evidence to suggest … Continue reading
It is not a good day at the BBC if they can’t snipe at Israel and so it is that B-BBC stalwart Jeremy Al Bowen does his usual routine here As ever the language is so loaded and dripping in anti-Israel sentiment that Hamas would struggle to be less biased than him. It’s outrageous the way the BBC foists this biased coverage of all matters Israel upon us. Click through to … Continue reading
