As a fervent Scot, and son of the manse, Gordon Brown hates Britain’s past; anything to do with the empire and with colonialism, especially. So, of course, does the BBC, which leaps at any opportunity to denigrate British achievements. The government’s absurd and patronising decision to “apologise” for the way children from broken homes were sent to Australia and elsewhere in the Commonwealth to start new lives is thus naturally … Continue reading
Nice to see the BBC running every possible allegation against our Armed Forces when in Iraq. It suits their narrative and plays to the BBC meme that regardless of their sacrifice, you just cannot trust the British Army. Muslims are unhappy and Brits must pay. The “darker side” to the British Army allegations that the BBC loves to run sickens me. Are you content with how the BBC presents this? … Continue reading
OK – the floor is yours. So what is the BBC doing that has caused YOU concern today… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Anyone else Gordon Brown being interviewed by Evan Davies on “Today” this morning? What an easy ride he got! Not only did he get away with suggesting that the UK – under his wise guidance – had set the new strategy for the rest of the world on Afghanistan but that the UK -under his all seeing gaze – had also set the standards for the rest of the world … Continue reading
Yesterday morning climate change sceptic Ian Plimer was interviewed on the Today programme. This stunning occurrence caused outrage among eco-activists. The Media Lens message board went nuclear wind turbine over the issue. Among the many who complained to the BBC was Green Party councillor Dr Rupert Read. The response he received from Today programme assistant editor Roger Hermiston included this admission: We reflect the orthodoxy in the climate change debate, … Continue reading
Simmering below the surface at the BBC is the very thing the Guardian practices overtly. What restrains the BBC from outright denunciation of Jews and their shitty little country is the wretched obligation for impartiality written into the pesky BBC charter. The Guardian has no such obligations (other than to remain saleable enough to keep going, which rumour says might not be for long.) When it was launched I passed … Continue reading
Question Time today comes from Weston-super-Mare. On the panel are Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and self-promoting turncoat Shaun Woodward, the Conservative Shadow Security Minister Pauline Neville-Jones, the Liberal Democrat spokesman on communities and local government Julia Goldsworthy, the deeply unfunny commentator Will Self and the rowing champion, double Olympic gold medallist, television presenter and writer James Cracknell. David Vance will be picking up the live-chat baton here at 10:30pm, assisted by TheEye. … Continue reading
…between the license-payer and the BBC does bring benefits to some people! The lavish salaries of the BBC’s army of middle managers were disclosed for first time amid growing concerns over its spending. They included a series of advisers and strategists with titles such as ‘organisational development and change director’ on lucrative pay packages. Others included a £130,000 a year ‘outreach’ boss, a business continuity official on £117,000 and a … Continue reading
BBC still worrying about the backlash against Muslims in the US after a Muslim slaughters 13 non-Muslims. Amid fears of a possible anti-Muslim backlash after the attack, President Obama has stressed the multinational diversity in the US armed forces. “They are Americans of every race, faith, and station. They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and non-believers. “They are descendants of immigrants and immigrants themselves. They reflect the diversity … Continue reading
I note that the BBC has been running with the government initiated suggestion by King’s College London expert Professor Sube Banerjee that the inappropriate use of Dementia drugs is killing some 1800 people. Now this is one side of the story but there is another side, namely that these drugs can and do provide a useful function but the BBC seems determined to ignore that side of things. I caught … Continue reading
