BBC correspondent Dan Collyns has got form. As I reported back in February, he was caught red-handed making nonsense predictions that the seas round the Galapagos Islands were heating up so fast that they were heading for boiling point. This eco-propagandist, who belongs to greenie alarmist group GRNlive, is at it again, this time reporting that a group of Peruvians have become so brainwashed and deluded as a result of … Continue reading
No matter what evidence is released about the “peace mission” on the Mavi Marmara, the BBC still calls the incident “Israel’s attack”, “Israel’s raid,” or whatever aggressive title they see fit to tag it. They see the incident as Israel’s, as if it belongs exclusively to Israel, though it was clearly instigated by Turkey or Islam. No matter how many Jihadi videos remain uncensored on YouTube while a humourous Israeli … Continue reading
FOOC featured Jeremy Bowen’s cosy chat with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Although we were told that Syria was a bit of a police state, the impression given was that Bowen’s sympathy lay with‘friendly and charming’ al-Assad, whose country had suffered the “trauma of creating Israel.”“The Turks never attacked Israel, never smuggled weapons, never did anything harmful to Israel.

Interesting catch here… “I was able to get quite close to the Muslims against Crusaders. The one with the loudhailer was going on about how dare the Royal Anglians “Come to this Muslim area”. A man near me yelled at him “This is a Christian area”. I yelled, “There was a Christian Abbey here in the year 600, (before Mohammed)” at which point a police officer asked me to move along. He … Continue reading

The City of Hull has just begun ‘Larkin 25′, a 25-week-long event, marking the 25th anniversary of the poet’s death on 2nd December 1985.

No-one on the programme challenged these claims and even the suggestion … Continue reading
