“Is Mary a good role model?“, asks Nicky Campbell. Most vocal contributors from the BBC audience were Muslims. The other view was mostly Roman Catholic. I thought the UK was (at least nominally) a Protestant country though no one on the audience was able to articulate that opinion. You couldn’t make it up.

Nicky Campbell asks whether the arms trade is a necessary evil. Nothing like a loaded question, right? Audience populated by moonbats, of course, comparing the Arms Trade to the Slave Trade. Even those who advocate the use of arms in the audience such as Col Bob Stewart agreed it was “intrinsically evil.” Nicky wanted to know in what way was an arms dealers different to a drugs dealer. A guy … Continue reading
Andrew Marr reckons that we are now moving out of the recession whilst interviewing George Osborne. BBC news suggests likewise. Rejoice, and to all the unemployed out there, chin up. Keynesian uber alles. They never saw the recession coming, they will not see it leaving. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Watching Sir Hugh Orde on the Marr Show. Orde is perhaps the most politicised Police Officer one could conceive but he was on to argue that is is wrong to politicise the police aka the suggestion that Police Chiefs should be elected. He also got a dig in at Boris Johnson. Orde is the guy, let us recall, whose proudest achievement is to brought IRA bombers and bank robbers onto … Continue reading
Excellent article by Chris Booker here. BBC viewers were treated last week to the bizarre spectacle of MrBan Ki-moon standing on an Arctic ice-floe making a series of statements so laughable that it was hard to believe such a man can be Secretary-General ofthe UN. Thanks to global warming, he claimed, “100 billion tons” of polarice are melting each year, so that within 30 years the Arctic could be “ice-free”. … Continue reading
So, despite Obama’s stimulus, US unemployment hits a 26 year high. Thank god the BBC managed to track down Nigel Gault, chief US economist at IHS Global Insight, who says that the rise in the jobless rate was not too discouraging. “The decline last month was too good to be true, really.” Fair enough. It’s an opinion- how about a counter-balancing one?
I see that the BBC is pushing the story that a former US attorney general can be sued by an American citizen held as a witness suspected of having information in a terrorism case, a court has ruled.” “Abdullah al-Kidd (Typical US citizen) accuses John Ashcroft, attorney general from 2001 to 2005, of violating his constitutional rights in 2003, when he was held for 16 days. The court said detention … Continue reading
The BBC has been relentlessly trying to undermine any legitimacy to the recent Afghan election and once again today we have another tribal elder “admitting” to the BBC that he tampered with hundreds of ballots in favour of incumbent President Hamid Karzai (Note the image that the BBC chooses to use to illustrate this story) The meme is that we should NOT be in Afghanistan and every BBC story follows … Continue reading
Well then, did you see the claim that support for the BBC has risen in the last five years with almost four out of five people believing it is an institution to be proud of? How interesting. I wonder who commissioned the poll? ICM/Guardian. I see, well, that’s as impartial as you get, right? Asked if the BBC was trustworthy, almost seven in 10 of the 1,001 adults questioned said … Continue reading
You’d think a self-styled news organisation might want to expose the mechanisms by which governments fund arms-length organisations to “pressure” them – and the public – into following some previously-decided agenda. Not so. Scottish households throw away a billion pounds worth of food a year, according to new report into eating habits. The Waste and Resources Programme ( WRAP) report revealed the most common discarded items were fruit and vegetables, … Continue reading
