When Melanie Phillips went to Australia she thought she had died and gone to heaven. She discovered that down under, unlike here in Blighty, supporting Israel does not have to be done in private, by consenting adults. For your information, Melanie Phillips is “known to be an extremist Zionist insane warmongering Islamophobe” who must be treated with circumspection and labelled “Mad Mel” by all liberal-leaning followers of the BBC. She … Continue reading →

The comedian Mitch Benn, having been fingered as an active Greenie by taking part in a Green party fund-raising event, attempted to justify in a series of responses to this post his partisan approach. I suppose I sort of congratulate him for at least making an effort; but his foray into what he clearly regarded as enemy territory ended in tears – he departed waspishly calling all the contributors to … Continue reading →

BBC environment correspondent Richard Black, quoted by Robin Horbury yesterday: I’m not surprised at the level of UK scepticism as the main impacts of climate change are decades away and in other places. The problem is poor science awareness. We need to improve science education so people properly understand climate science. So it’s the sceptics who need educating is it? http://twitter.com/alexporter82/statuses/9733582968http://twitter.com/Meggyyyyy/statuses/9733330327http://twitter.com/JamesG29803/statuses/9731734871http://twitter.com/shine2u/statuses/9742357989http://twitter.com/A_n_gel/statuses/9743615199http://twitter.com/RexRayFan/statuses/9752321618http://twitter.com/justthemo/statuses/9746625752http://twitter.com/MichelleMichie/status/9746011386http://twitter.com/Penguinchic1/statuses/9770095174http://twitter.com/IshaSG/statuses/9768322179http://twitter.com/Bibhuti_Bhusan/status/9765934744http://twitter.com/iamanushka/statuses/9765786835http://twitter.com/rjscheiwillerr/statuses/9765581299http://twitter.com/hdnyc/statuses/9765292555http://twitter.com/senoritamayra/statuses/9764404410http://twitter.com/bineshbharath/statuses/9752728734http://twitter.com/VitoFun/status/9740331086http://twitter.com/camillabraine/statuses/9750411050http://twitter.com/EllissaP/status/9749480794 There’s lots, lots more like that.

Bishop Hill has an interesting post which reveals yet again the hardcore pro-climate change mindset at the BBC. The post is about a public discussion about the impact of Climategate, held at Oxford University on February 26 between environment journalists Richard Black (BBC), Fiona Harvey (FT), Ben Jackson(Sun) and David Adam(Guardian). Richard Black made relatively few contributions, but his first was this: I’m not surprised at the level of UK … Continue reading →

[Update Wed March 3. I see the photo has caused quite a bit of discussion. Chris T-T is of course pissing in the wind asking for money, but on reflection I can see his point about use of the image. I too would be pretty angry if, for example, the BBC used a photo of mine without permission. Therefore, in the interests of reserving my right to occupy the high … Continue reading →

If your fifteen year old son listened to two people talking on the radio, commented ‘I really want to punch that guy in the face‘, and you knew that one of the two people was UKIP’s Nigel Farage, what odds would you give that it was the other guy he wanted to punch ? Congratulations to Steven Nolan for his impressive achievement on R5 tonight. Following on from the Question … Continue reading →

Quite a good take on the BBC here… “…the public has realised that there is also another BBC: a corporation that purports to be a public service but pays its Director-General a whopping £816,000 and its head of personnel more than the Prime Minister. It is an empire that schedules TV programmes to wrong-foot its rivals. Proposals seen by The Timeslook like a welcome recognition that the empire has gone … Continue reading →

CUBAN DELIGHT

See the BBC is bigging up the rich culture of communist hell hole Cuba. Matt Frei is there to highlight how ballet is the route from poverty to Covent Garden. I suppose the BBC’s love of the Castrol tyranny is understandable given the political sympathies of so many of the BBC luvvies. They love Castro like we love life.
