Young, British and Angry. “Ben Anderson gets exclusive access to the English Defence League, the movement set up to protest against what it sees as the dangerous spread of militant Islam in Britain. ” “Exclusive Access?” Any Tom Dick and Arry could have had access if they asked nicely. Poor Ben Anderson. His technique was as clumsy as a dyspraxic bull in a china shop. His agenda hung out shamelessly. … Continue reading
The Daily Telegraph’s James Delingpole reports back from the International Conference on Climate Change which has just finished in Chicago. To him, this stellar gathering of climate scientists has established beyond reasonable doubt that only morons now believe in global warming. By contrast, to Roger Harrabin, of the BBC, who was also there, the whole event was easily dimissed as a gathering of right-wingers. Mr Delingpole has interesting observations about … Continue reading
This is a guest post by Marcellus. ENOUGH TALK, TIME NOW TO TAKE ACTION TO REFORM THE BBC I have a suggestion. I have much respect for the impressive work that Biased BBC is doing to expose the symptoms of BBC misuse of their immense power and influence. I put it to you, however, that we have all shouted and complained long enough. We have listed, exposed, analysed, discussed for … Continue reading
While we have been occupied with election business, the BBC’s delegitimisation of Israel carries on relentlessly.

On the open thread, Pounce and David Preiser mention the BBC’s initial silence over Hamas’s bulldozing of Palestinian homes. (They weren’t the only ones who didn’t like the … Continue reading
I see that the BBC has apologised “unreservedly” after a radio DJ joked during a live broadcast that the Queen had died. Danny Kelly, 39, told BBC WM listeners he had an important announcement to make before saying: “Queen Elizabeth II has now died.” The DJ played the national anthem as he made the joke during his weekday afternoon slot on Monday, which is broadcast from the corporation’s Birmingham base … Continue reading
Anyone catch John Humphyrs introductory lines to an item on the BA strike. “It’s not fair….” whines Humphyrs as regards the judicial decision. Not even a hint of bias, right? It is obvious which side Mr Humphrys takes. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Anthony Watts, of the admirable Watts Up with That? blog is currently at the Fourth International Conference on Climate Change, where genuine climate scientists – as opposed to the buffoons who advocate global warming – are currently gathered in Chicago. It transpires that an amateurish, grubby, sharp-practice, wet-behind-the-ears BBC-funded crew is prowling the corridors of the conference hotel trying to misrepresent what is going on and to twist the words … Continue reading
Is it just me or is the BBC leading a crusade to stop the cancellation of flights because of the drifting volcanic ash clouds? I note that they are running several items on Today asking the same recurring question – why are we not airlines just “get on with it.” I suppose the Beeboids must be getting frustrated at missing their flights as they seek to travel the world to … Continue reading
I see that the BBC had comrade Tony Woodley of the Unite Trade Union on this morning. Oddly enough, they never asked Woodley about his visit to Cuba over the past few days to join in the tributes to Fidel. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
