DAMAGE LIMITATION OVER MORNING COFFEE!

Interesting watching Breakfast BBC this morning. With the latest employment figures out later this morning, the BBC is running the line that many people who have lost their jobs have found this to be a good thing since they have gone on to do other things that they enjoy. Oddly enough, during the 1980’s, I don’t recall the BBC running with such a benign view on job losses, do you? … Continue reading

THATCHER IN THE TARDIS

The headline says it all…. “How Time Lord Doctor Who took on Mrs Thatcher.” Doctor Who actor Sylvester McCoy has claimed that scriptwriters of the cult TV show wrote material in the 1980s which was designed to undermine Margaret Thatcher’s government. Who would have thought THAT then? I mean BBC scriptwriters are all such a balanced lot.  Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

THAT DUBAI KILLING…

Did you catch Jeremy Al Bowen on Today this morning discussing the killing of senior Hamas terroristMahmoud al-Mabhouh by unknown people in a Dubai hotel?  Jeremy was quick off the mark to label this as Mossad killing but at no point did he, or indeed anyone else on the BBC, discuss the precise role this piece of Hamas filth played in the killing of innocent Israelis, nor for that matter … Continue reading

RAY GOSLING – BBC HERO

I see that BBC presenter Ray Gosling has been talking about how he smothered his gay lover who was dying from Aids.

Whilst no one wishes any person to lose their job the harsh economic reality is that the State sector has grown fat and bloated under Labour and cannot be economically sustained. (Rather like the BBC in fact) … Continue reading

BIAS? WHO’S BIASED…

They deny it until they are blue in the face, but readers of this site know that behind the closed doors of the rats’ warren corridors of the the BBC, the boys and girls who work there are immersed in finding new and exciting ways of spreading lefty groupthink. Finally, 25 years on, we have a glimpse of that murky world, courtesy of today’s Sunday Times. The late John Nathan-Turner, … Continue reading

I Used to be Indecisive… but Now I’m Not so Sure….

Nick Clegg has finally done the right thing. He’s sacked Jenny Tonge! The BBC reports this as though it was a quick decisive move by the Lib Dem leader. But this was done after considerable equivocation and hesitation, and protestations that she is not anti-Semitic, and is still worth listening to. Something must have got to him. Maybe Jenny Tonge was right all along about the Jewish Lobby getting its … Continue reading
