I thought the Jo Abbess email to Richard Black would be the funniest BBC-related correspondence I’d read for a long while, but I was wrong. Many thanks to Peter Dow, the Scottish republican featured in the film I posted here yesterday, for drawing my attention to an email exchange he had with the BBC. I particularly love this bit, which reads like something straight out of Ted L Nancy : … Continue reading →

There was a rather surreal debate on the BBC this morning on the issue of parenting. I suggest to you that the BBC is antagonistic to the essential idea that a traditional family unit provides the optimum environment in which to bring up children which is one reason why it shills for “gay marriage” and other such bizarre inventions. So in this discussion at 7.50am, we have a really strange … Continue reading →

Had to laugh at Hugh Pym’s simpering cheer leading (7.17am)for Gordon Brown’s latest taxation wheeze. It is perfectly obvious that Brown’s big idea went down like a lead balloon with the likes of the USA and Canada (though of course the French like it!) but Pym was there to suggest that it is still on the political radar and who knows, even the US, might come back and show some … Continue reading →

Wonder what you make of this item on Today this morning.It concerns “militant” Islam’s attack on puppets. That’s right – puppets in Pakistan.

However this is in itself a matter of Hosken’s interpretation since there are many who feel that the Jihadisrs themselves operate … Continue reading →

Whilst the BBC agonises about the societal causes that made poor devout Muslim Major Hasan slaughter 13 of his colleagues at Fort Hood whilst screaming Allahu Akhbar it manages to get some of the basic facts wrong. In this report it reports that Hasan was shot by a fellow soldier. He was not. He was shot by Sergeant Kimberly Munley, a civilian police officer stationed at the base who was … Continue reading →
