The Environment Agency – which, from its support of windfarms should actually be known as the Environment-wrecking agency – has a new fantasy. It has spent shedloads of our money producing a survey that claims our energy needs could be met by building 26,000 water turbines on rivers round the country. Most taxpayers when faced with such codswallop would want to know how much damage that building schemes on this … Continue reading
Nice to see Nicky Campbell on “The Big Question” asking the question on all our lips, “Is Islam misunderstood?” Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I think the Andrew Marr show has morphed into the Lib-Dem show this morning, with Charlie “Hic” Kennedy on the sofa followed by Saint Vince of I Told You So.. Harriet Har-person was also on to add extra balance. I think I spotted Liam Fiox but it was fleeting. Of course there’s nothing like balance and this programme is nothing to do with balance. The BBC just lurve lefties… Click through to … Continue reading
Perhaps you saw this ludicrous comparison by the BBC of two equivalent jobs in private vs state sector. As a Biased BBC reader puts it, ONLY the BBC could find the only role in the country where the privatesector employee gets overtime and a final salary pension — and where thepublic sector employee doesn’t!

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
