So, Obama has caved in to the Russians and run away from the missile defence scheme. I caught the PM coverage of this which was very cleverly constructed to ensure that as much pro-Obama spin was generated as possible. John Bolton got about 45 seconds to tear Obama’s plan apart and then we had about five minutes in favour of the Lightworker. All nicely balanced. Click through to read and … Continue reading →

I wanted to bring you up to date with where my thinking is on the topic of the “Biased BBC” Book. I seek to have the manuscript completed by the end of this year! That’s a lot of work to do so I have a few requests to make; 1. To get the book completed, I HAVE to ease off on the blogging, esp at weekends. But I want the … Continue reading →

Former BBC employee and NuLabour talking head Ben Bradshaw believes the License tax should be cut a little and the BBC trust scrapped. I disagree. The License tax should be scrapped and then they can do whatever they want with their management team, they’ll be paying for it, not me. There was a debate on this earlier this morning on Today with John Whittingdale MP and the thing that struck … Continue reading →

OK, I’m hooked on the exciting series of reports on Today from Mike Thomson as he travels around Somalia at our expense. Today Mike asks the question that I am sure we were all wondering; Was life better when the Islamic Courts ran Mogadishu? Answer, yes – for a while. Gotta love it.

Just watched Hugh Pym on the BBC 10 News doing everything possible to ameliorate the latest shocking unemployment increases whilst claiming that the recession is now behind us. Why not just cut to the chase Hugh and hold up a sign saying Vote Labour? At least there would be some honesty in that….. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

So, Radio 4 has replaced a continuity announcer known as the “voice of the Shipping Forecast” a month after he accidentally swore on air. Peter Jefferson, who worked for the BBC for 45 years, swore after mixing up his words as he tried to complete a sentence before the famous “pips” at the top of the hour on Radio 4. The 64-year-old has been told by BBC managers that his … Continue reading →

I thought this was quite telling from John Redwood… This afternoon I was asked to appear this evening on the World Tonight to do an interview on spending cuts. I agreed. I was asked if I preferred a pre-record or live. I said I preferred live. They agreed and made the arrangements. I was then telephoned and asked in detail about my views. (They are on the website anyway). When … Continue reading →

The TUC conference in Liverpool is to vote on yet another call to boycott Israel. As Sarah Jane put it on another thread “My opinion of Afghanistan is derived entirely from the news I receive about it.” I suspect this also applies to members of the Fire Brigade union, Unite and Unison vis-à-vis the Middle East.Today’s interview between James Naughtie and Israeli Deputy Ambassador Talya Lador-Fresher did little to enlighten … Continue reading →
