The BBC began election year with a new topical comedy show hosted by a Tory-hating Labour supporter. What next, Labour luvvie Dermot O’Leary presenting election coverage? Actually, yes: X Factor host Dermot O’Leary told of his “excitement” at the prospect of fronting a political show in the run-up to the general election.The 36-year-old told the Radio Times he is obsessed with politics – but said the show would not be … Continue reading

A B-BBC reader advises… Did you see Marr on Sunday, with Maureen lipman (Labour Supporter) and Tristam Hunt (Ex Labour Headquarters and prospective Labour candidate) reviewing the papers AND how quickly they glossed over Peter Wat’s new book! Tristram also had a go about climate change, funny his dad is a warmist ex-head of the met office. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Greenies, supported tirelessly by the BBC, never give up in their efforts to persuade us that we are all going to hell in a handcart. The UN, of course is the revered cheerleader, and today – as their ‘climate change’ fascism seems to have stalled a tad after Copenhagen – this corrupt Hydra has turned its attention to the need for ‘biodiversity’.

Shock, horror! Paul Hudson, the Yorkshire-based BBC weather reporter who caused a furore last year when he dared to break ranks from his warmist fanatic colleagues and suggested that the sun, not CO2, might be responsible for perceived global warming, has entered the fray again. This time, he’s pointed out that Joe Bastardi, of the climate realist weather service Accuweather, correctly forecast back in September that we were in for … Continue reading

They need to sort some stuff out, but they are still a better bet than the Tories.” Meanwhile, election year sees the start of a new topical comedy show … Continue reading
BBC environment correspondent David Shukman has a book out in April: “Reporting Live From the End of the World“. A suitably alarmist double meaning in the title there, but I guess it’s more catchy than “Reporting Live From a Temporarily Low Reservoir (Rain Sure To Follow)”. In his tips to schoolchildren on how best to report on the environment Shukman offers this advice: “If it’s about rubbish, get yourself right … Continue reading
I commented in the open thread about mistakes and shoddy editing. Here’s one. ‘Six Palestinians killed in West bank, Gaza attacks’ Was this responsible for another piece of carelessness that shows how one thing can lead to an other? “Israel yesterday shot dead six Palestinians in two separate incidents in the West Bank” It appeared in an anti-Israel editorial in the Observer the next day. Of course the two incidents … Continue reading
