A biased bbc reader writes… “Mosab Hassan Yousef is the eldest son of a senior Hamascommander. He was arrested by Shin Bet and beaten by three of their agents. Hepoints out that this is not Shin Bet or Israeli policy, but the actions ofindividual agents who hate Palestinians. He has converted to Christianity andnow works to save lives – Israeli or Palestinian. If that means informing onHamas or Fatah operations … Continue reading
I have had a communication from Richard Black of the BBC (and his lawyer) that in the interests of fairness and debate, I must share with you. Indeed, he is threatening to sue me if I do not. He asserts that a piece I wrote about him on this blog, suggesting that he makes money from chairing climate change conferences, is wrong. He writes: You draw these various strands together … Continue reading
It’s been entertaining listening to the BBC do everything possible to undermine the new Lib/Con Government. Every card is being played to give the impression that things look grim. I liked the BBC comment that the press conference in the Downing Street garden looked liked “a civil partnership.” I guess they would know? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
God help us all. The “left-leaning” (BBCspeak for ardent lefty, Europhile, climate change fanatic) Chris Huhne is taking up the environment and climate change brief. Expect this intolerant, self-opinionated noneity to be omnipresent on BBC programmes from now on; and expect an instant stepping up of the volume of climate change moonshine. Oh, and prepare for massive power cuts – because that’s where we are heading. Click through to read … Continue reading
I suppose it was predictable that after the horror of Labour being thrown out of Downing Street has sunk in to the BBC, the fightback would commence. This morning, on Today, between 7 and 7.30am, the meme is “But can it gold together”? BBC line is to question the stability of the Con/Lib pact and to claim that it could all fall apar. Gracious in defeat, eh? Click through to … Continue reading
Several good laughs tonight. BBC News reported Brown going into to see Her Majesty suggesting he would be in “for some time.” He was out after 15mins. BBC then reported Cameron going in to see Her Majesty suggesting it would be “about 5 minutes” – he was in for at least 20 minutes, BBC stunned! Meanwhile, I was listening to a one of those “special” BBC panels on the World … Continue reading
Regardless of our views of the next PM, I hope we can all unite in delight at this moment of history: Update 8.30pm. I knew Mandy was powerful, but I didn’t realise he’d taken on the role of confirming the next Prime Minister: Another update: (OK, I’ll stop now) Sorry – one more update. Is Mishal Husain a secret Tory? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Having a laugh at the fact that even as I type this, at 6.17pm, the BBC is still pretending there is a possibility that the Lib/Lab losers coalition is on. Mark Easton is in denial! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Humour Alert: Courtesy of the excellent Man Widdicombe blog. Talks between David Cameron and Nick Clegg have broken down this afternoon, much to the shock of pundits and journalists. Most of the major hurdles; voting reform, taxation, education, and immigration, had been overcome and both parties were heading confidently towards a formal coalition for stable government. Then the question of BBC Question Time was raised. Both leaders agreed that if … Continue reading
If anyone else listened to Today this morning, wasn’t it interesting to observe the sheer excitement from the BBC commentators that Clegg is king-maker? The BBC doesn’t dwell on such pesky facts as the Lib-Dem losing seats at the GE, the mood music remains the same as it did during the TV debates when it comes to our Nick. I have argued that the BBC itself is more pro Lib-Dem than … Continue reading
