Just listened to the coverage on Radio 4’s PM and 6pm news programmes about Brown’s £1.5b climate change splurge. Plenty of criticism was broadcast, but only from those who think that even more of our money should be given away to enrich third world kleptocrats and keep an endless supply of useless bureaucrats in employment. The pathetic Tory “opposition” obviously can’t be relied upon to voice the concerns of millions … Continue reading
Leftie bigot Matt Frei’s contempt for Middle America is on full display in his latest shamelessly biased diary article in which he argues that the way to get those dumb rednecks to accept without question the new cult of MMGW is to target them through their current religion. The Telegraph’s Damian Thompson has already blogged a response which is well worth reading, although he put his views more succinctly on … Continue reading

Richard Black, reporting self-indulgently and with puffed-up arrogance about his earth-saving role at Copenhagen, notes: Most of the real deals are done behind closed doors guarded by security guys with stern faces and impressive pectorals.That’s where the important countries and blocs reveal more of their real demands, where trades are bartered between national delegations. Reporting it is a nightmare. So that’s how the new world government that Richard wants to … Continue reading
Coming up on Monday, the next film to be screened as part of BBC 4’s Storyville documentary slot is “Age of Stupid“, climate catastrophe porn for the green cultists. Even the Observer’s Philip French called the film “a hectoring lecture”, which makes it perfectly in keeping with the rest of the BBC’s Copenhagen-related coverage. And don’t forget, still to come on Storyville – “By the People”, described by the Washington … Continue reading
Bit of festive poetry for you: “I bought a magic goose from a jolly farmer.This goose laid Barack Obama.” (From Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy’s Twelve Days of Christmas, commissioned by the Radio Times. Critique from Oliver Mare here.) Like the first seven windows on your advent calendar, this thread is open. (Bumped). Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I was watching a debate on Newsnight concerning the Pre Budget Report. Kirsty Wark said to Liam Byrne “You run the economy….”. Erm, no, he doesn’t. We don’t live in a full on totalitarian State, yet. But an interesting insight into BBC think. Maybe she meant to say “You ruin the economy….”? Paul Mason and Michael Crick were also on to try and suggest that all three main political parties … Continue reading
Reproduced fully and without further comment by Melanie Phillips is a superb speech made by historian Andrew Roberts at the annual dinner of the Anglo Israel Association.It is lengthy and all encompassing, touching on every aspect of the predicament of Israel and Jews, with particular emphasis on the Arabist sentiment that influences Britain’s conduct in Middle East affairs. I have long been fantasising about a television series of the calibre … Continue reading
OK, so it’s not the lead story and indeed one has to click across from the main newspage to even see it. I refer to the item curiously entitled “UK Muslim guilty of planning attack”. Mmmm – a tad innocuous but curiosity got the better of me so I went over and discovered that the actual story is that several Muslims have been convicted of planning mass murder over the … Continue reading
In what appears to be a blatant bit of ratings tourism, Question Time tomorrow comes from Wootton Bassett and is set up to be completely devoted to the war in Afghanistan. The panel will consist of former head of the British Army General Sir Richard Dannatt, Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague, and former News of the Screws editor Piers “Moron” Morgan (as Private Eye styles him). Armed Forces Minister Bill … Continue reading
