Friday’s Any Questions broadcast from the London Muslim Centre aka the East London Mosque was part of the BBC’s strategy of embracing Islam. After the recent C4 Dispatches programme that showcased the unpleasant side of the Islamic Forum of Europe, appeasing Muslims might have seemed a good move by the BBC, what with their desire to promote social cohesion. The fact that Ken Livingstone was one of the panellists and … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader contacts me with the following astute observation… “….the last line in a report on an IDF soldier who posteddetails of a military operation on Facebook reads: “Reports on whether the targets of the raids aremilitants or civilians are often contradictory.” The article thereby seeks to imply that the IDF targetscivilians for which there is simply no evidence. The BBC consistently plays this game, implying that the IDF … Continue reading
Heffer has some good insight on the BBC here…. Most significantly, a drastically reduced BBC would eliminate much of the Leftist influence that dominates it. Socialist dramatists, reporters, editors and presenters could take their chances in the private sector. Oddly enough, I suspect that might be the last we would hear of them: which is precisely why the BBC will fight like a hellcat to retain as much of its … Continue reading
Did anyone catch children’s Question Time on BBC 3? A biased BBC reader writes… “First of all, I’ve not watched the whole of this (too painful), but from watching a fair chunk of it, it seems like a propaganda excercise for the Labour Party. As usual, the ‘impartial’ BBC was far from impartial… the panel consisted of…– David Lammy MP (Labour party)– Jeremy Hunt MP (Conservative party)– Julia Goldsworthy MP … Continue reading

The BBC slavishly reports the findings of the Met Office, even though it is headed by a climate change activist, and even though – with funding of £243m from the government to carry on its climate change mission – its forecasts are totally unreliable, its measurements systems highly questionable, and its overall credentials are totally shot. So the latest report from this august body (published, naturally, by the BBC, its … Continue reading

When a spoiled little rich kid called David de Rothschild decides to blow millions on world-saving fantasies , the BBC immediately elevate him to being an “eco-warrior” and devote acres of web space to what amounts to hero-worship. Dear David – whose banking ancestors helped fund Britain’s great industrial expansion – has seeemingly spent his life on a guilt-trip drawing attention to the follies of the West, and of course, … Continue reading
It’s an odd thing to see yourself the subject of a BBC post. As you can see, I have been selected to fight the East Belfast constituency at the forthcoming general election. The First Minister of the NI Assembly, Peter Robinson, is the sitting MP and has been so for 30 years (Same length of time that Mugabe has been in power) This will mean I have less time to blog … Continue reading
Must have been some sort of oversight but the BBC seems oddly subdued about the fantastic gains Geert Wilders has made in the local elections in the Netherlands. One might have thought this merited some prime time discussion ahead of weighty topics such as “political protest songs” but apparently not. Ah well – the BBC has tough editorial decisions to make all the time….. Click through to read and contribute … Continue reading
