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.

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

I see the BBC has opened up a new front in Iraq by claiming that those bad Americans are responsible for a rise in the number of birth defects amongst the children born in Fallujah. Yes, John Simpson has been spearheading this investigation and we all know John is a very unbiased kind of guy. This is a great story that the BBC has created since it will then disseminate … Continue reading
