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
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

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
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
Is this a greenie fanatic, our friend Richard Black, in retreat? Lost for words, so therefore back-pedalling madly? At bay? Or just more BBC hot air? You decide! One thing is for certain. Writers like Black would never accept for a second that there might be something wrong with their over-arching ‘climate change’ fantasy. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
For years now, the BBC has been a proud champion of the left wing political view that Guantanamo Bay must be closed and that the majority of those interned there are innocents whose only crime was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. B-BBC readers will recall how the BBC has helped turn “Brit” Binyam Mohammed into a virtual hero after his release from that place. Of … Continue reading
Yes, this IS going to be a long series but with the General Election campaign now well and truly underway, I think we should take the time to dissect exactly how the BBC covers it. Today started in fine fettle this morning by contrasting on the one hand Conservative “confusion” over tax policy for married people with Labour vision to help our farmers. Nice, especially when one considers how Labour … Continue reading

I’ve received several email from B-BBC readers today picking up on the way in which the BBC has been putting the boot into Cameron’s first bout of electioneering. This is what one reader had to say earlier… “Radio 5 presents Yougov’s Peter Kellner as a neutral” Radio Five just interviewed YouGov’s Peter Kellner on the election – specifically his opinion on Cameron and the Tories. Q. Why were Tories not … Continue reading
