David Shukman on weather and climate

Following yesterday’s item aimed at making sure the kids are still on message about MMGW, today we had Newsround for grown-ups. In a report which aired on the 6 pm news on both BBC 1 and Radio 4 this evening, David Shukman explained: “The key thing is that there’s a difference between the weather and the climate. The weather’s what you get day by day, month by month, like this … Continue reading

SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH I…

Excellent spot by a Biased BBC reader here. Matt Frei, that stalwart of B-BBC, ponders what turns someone into a suicide bomber. He reviews the cases of several suicide bombers and wonders what they all have in common. Clue – he misses something rather obvious and it begins with the letter I….!

WOSSY IS OFF!

So, I am sure you heard the news that Jonathan Ross is to quit the BBC. Good. However in a way it doesn’t matter since there are MANY more spongers in the BBC feeding off our £3.5bn. So, one down but many more to go! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Foregone Conclusion

Who could have doubted the sincerity of the bushy bearded cherub innocently proclaiming his bafflement and perplexity over the actions of his former best buddy?Not the BBC. They accepted it without a murmur. Our friend Qasam Rafiq is now the spokesman for the Federation of Student Islamic Societies. Those cute little cupid’s bow lips are employed to invite a multitude of speakers who have supported the holy war and called … Continue reading

A HAPPY CABINET?

You can’t beat the Today programme for sheer pro-Labour entertainment value. I caught Shaun “Where’s my Butler?” Woodward being interviewed by James Naughtie this morning on the issue of Gordon’s leadership (or lack of) and yesterday’s fun and games with Hewitt and Hoon. Woodward naturally dismissed this all as a distraction from the real issue (Cameron’s dithering) and declared (hand on heart, scout’s honour?) that he sat in “a happy … Continue reading

Gonna Start a Riot

The treacherous MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, George Galloway has been away from his constituency lately. He’s been sparking off riots in Egypt. His recent publicity-seeking escapade, getting a convoy of aid to the Palestinians who are currently perceived to be imprisoned in Gaza and starving, has even antagonised the Egyptians.“ The Egyptian foreign ministry launched a scathing attack on convoy leader British Respect MP George Galloway, claiming that … Continue reading

FRYING KENYANS

While the rest of us freeze, the BBC website is still fervently pushing global warming. The main goal continues to be to give a platform to greenie fanatics who want to increase the hatred between the developing world and the West, by cultivating the line that the West is responsible for a whole catalogue of ‘climate change’ crimes. This latest ‘opinion’ piece is by Greig(sic) Whitehead, of International Climate Challenge, … Continue reading

Newsround Thought Police

Hat tip to “Votefor” in the comments for drawing attention to the latest edition of Newsround (the BBC’s news programme aimed at children, for those who don’t know). This evening’s programme began with a report from Manchester showing kids enjoying a day off school because of the snow. Innocent winter fun, same as it ever was? Not as far as the BBC Newsround thought police are concerned, relentless as they … Continue reading
