Credit where credit is due. BBC Radio 4’s Analysis programme last night examined what would happen if the UK left the EU, and they made a near-decent fist of the territory, giving prominence to both UKIP’s Lord Pearson of Rannoch and the Conservative withdrawalist, Daniel Hannan. There were, inevitably, some problems, with balance and some silly, unchallenged contributions from EU fanatics. But this is normally a taboo subject for the … Continue reading
I wonder is it FEAR that makes the Conservatives seem so mild-mannered about the BBC? The BBC could be forced by an incoming Conservative Government to accept a cut in the licence fee. The party has already called for the licence fee — currently £142.50 — to be frozen. But Jeremy Hunt, the shadow Culture Secretary, strengthened its stance with a warning that the Tories would expect the BBC to … Continue reading
Here’s a publication we don’t hear much from on this blog – Farmers Guardian: COUNTRYFILE, the BBC’s flagship rural programme, has been accused of a bias towards organic farming…During the show Mr Craven interviewed a representative of the Organic Trade Board, a spokesman for leading organic brand Duchy Originals and the branding expert Marcel Knobil, who was given the task of coming up with a new marketing campaign to promote … Continue reading
I await tonight’s Dispatches programme on C4. with that familiar dread and sinking feeling.It’s no good saying wait and see before getting upset because there’s plenty there already… The inevitable baying mob on the C4 website sets the scene. The gist is that the Jewish lobby is a sinister secretive conspiracy influencing political decisions and forcing our trembling government to support the brutal Zionist entity against the interests of the … Continue reading
Bit of a double whammy on how we Brits treat our kids today, care of the State Broadcaster. First we have the Rudd ritual apologies concerning the alleged “institutionalised” abuse that went on in Australia before many of us were even born. With Brown also poised to apologise for a programme that commenced before he was born and which he could have done nothing about, this is a good old … Continue reading
Did anyone catch the recent “Desert Island Discs” featuring Anthony Julius who was Lady Diana`s lawyer? He had said that he was Jewish and loved English Literature enough to have wanted for some time to teach it.At the end she presumed to offer him a copy of the Torah – and he protested saying that he wanted the full King James Version of the Bible so he would still have … Continue reading
BBC drools that “China visit speaks Obama mania”. Not even a hint of bias there, no sirree. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Last Sunday I blogged about the BBC’s decision not to show a documentary because it apparently failed to meet the “strict rules on objectivity”. On Wednesday the BBC issued the following press release: It’s one year since the inauguration of Barack Obama and BBC Two has the British premiere of a remarkable Storyville film, By The People: The Election of Barack Obama. Filmed by two young filmmakers who were given … Continue reading
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
