I’ve previously posted this about how senior BBC personnel such as Peter Thomson, environment editor of The World, influence and peddle the ‘climate change’ alarmist mantra. Today I am focusing on a completely different kind of BBC figure who is working at an international level to force the world to adopt climate change measures. Step forward Michael Hastings, who boasts the title Baron Hastings of Scarisbrick in the County of … Continue reading
Welcome to the Biased-BBC Question Time live-chat. Tonight the programme comes from Milton Keynes and the panel consists of Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liam Byrne, Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Caroline Spelman, Sarah Teather, retail expert Richard Madeley and historian Andrew Roberts. Here are the General Election results in the old (now redrawn and renamed) constituencies of Milton Keynes NE (Con) and SW (Lab). <a … Continue reading
Here’s a rare thing – a report by a BBC correspondent that doesn’t paint the Tea Party movement as a bunch of extreme right-wing nutters. (Is someone at the BBC actually listening to us?) Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Muslim Police Say Islam Not to Blame for Terror Attacks.Everybody’s talking about it except, to date, the BBC.They tell us that the anti-terror Police need Muslims.But the NAMP has, it seems, some dodgy friends.Discuss.Update.That was a bit skimpy, sorry.The Telegraph report is on the Front Page of the paper (tree version.)A highlighted quote from the NAMP says: “Hatred against Muslims has grown to a level that defies all logic” Unfortunately … Continue reading

Those wanting to get an idea of the political feel of the area – these are the General Election results in the old (now redrawn and renamed) constituencies of Milton … Continue reading
I’ve been thinking about the influence the BBC still has over the general public. I hope it’s diminishing, what with other sources becoming part of everyone’s normal news-gathering. But for now it still seems hugely significant; even if it were to cease tomorrow, the residual effect would take time to wear off. Monday’s Panorama was so one sided that I didn’t even attempt a point-by-point analysis, but chose instead to … Continue reading
A celebratory tip of the Red Sox cap to David Preiser for pointing out this rather fine commenter’s fisk of Gavin Hewitt’s latest blog. It’s a bit rich of Hewitt to now pass comment on the Europeans who “had fallen for Obama” when his own presidential campaign diary read like a romantic novel. Even I was inspired at the time, offering this as a suggestion for a book cover: Unfortunately … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago Heat magazine editor Sam Delaney appeared on Kate Silverton’s radio show as her sidekick for the day, and he left listeners in no doubt about his political leanings with a rant about Cameron and the Tories. I assumed at the time that Silverton would have a different “studio friend” each week, reflecting a broad spectrum of political opinion. That was pretty stupid of me, this … Continue reading
Richard Black is a willing conduit here for some furious back-peddling and spinning; that the IPCC totally false prediction that Himalayan glaciers were going to melt by 2035 was “only one mistake”. Oh yes? What about this? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Poor BBC. I listened with bated breath to their coverage of the stunning defeat for Obama’s Democrats in the heartland seat of Massachusetts. I mean, how would they spin this one? Well, strategy seems to be so far today to not talk about it too much, to then suggest it is Obama’s first real defeat since he ascended to power (So whitwashing the stunning defeats he suffered back in the … Continue reading
