Holocaust denial is in the news again.Firstly, the one I prepared earlier, Hamas and the text books.Secondly, Facebook’s policy of allowing free speech for Holocaust denial groups, arguably in contradiction to their policy of banning hate-speech.Thirdly, the publication in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, of a ‘major interview’ with David Irving, to balance the previous day’s interview with Avner Shalev, the chairman of Yad Vashem. What’s this got to do … Continue reading
What can I say? On the day that 70 years ago saw this country go to war against Nazi Germany, the BBC chooses to run a discussion as to whether Sir Winston Churchill was “more of a liability than an asset”. Today @ 8.190am. I suppose that depends on which side you take – ours or the Germans? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
It’s funny but when Sarah Palin brought up the great dangers posed by Obamacare, using the term “death panels” to vividly describe possible outcomes, the BBC were quick to get stuck into her. Then, oddly enough, Today covers an item @ 7.45am (no link at time of writing this) in which a group of senior doctors who care for the terminally ill have written a letter in the Telegraph warning … Continue reading
It was of course inevitable that Brown would reject the very sensible recommendations made to cut the NHS workforce by 10% over the next five years. (Personally, I would favour much deeper workforce cuts in this monolith but at least this would be a good start) His response is entirely political and not based in economic reality rather like his entire period when Chancellor. Earlier today the BBC dragged on … Continue reading
Just wanted to bring this comment to your attention from the Open Thread by George R. I did catch it earlier on the BBC and he is quite accurate in his assessment! The BBC just cannot accept that South Africa under the ANC is profoundly racist…. More BBC political bias on ‘racism’ as BBC supports South Africa’s ANC in its criticism of Canada in accepting a WHITE refugee from South … Continue reading
I have been reading some of Mark Mardell’s posts on his blog. Mark, as you know, has taken over from Obama’s number one fan Justin Webb, and seems determined to continue as a cheer leader for The One,whilst ensuring he is as faithful as possible to McDoom. This latest post states US State accepts that Brown “did not make the decision” to release Megrahi. Good for Gordon. Then there is … Continue reading
I don’t know about you but I have to say that I read the item title “Cameras capture Lorry Death Pair” with some disgust. This story relates to images captured on CCTV of little 9 year old Stacey Lawrence and her suspected murderer, Darren Walker, her mother’s boyfriend. Walker is suspected of sexually assaulting this child before strangling her. He later hanged himself. My point is that there is a … Continue reading
“O what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive” – Sir Walter Scott’s words (Good inspiration for a blog btw!) come to mind again reading McDoom’s latest evasions over the shabby and degenerate deal to off-load Megrahi for Libyan Oil. Have you read this BBC treatment of Brown’s desperate efforts to get his DNA off the Libyan appeasement? I did enjoy the little side quote from … Continue reading
We touched on this story a while back and I see it also picked up on the Open Thread but isn’t the heading “TV Presenter jailed for two years” curious? The fact is that it is a BBC Presenter who is off to spare some time in prison but the BBC seems a tad shy claiming him as one of their own in the heading. Why not? There are many … Continue reading
I was looking at this loving BBC profile of Manuel Barroso – he who is EU Commission President. It portrays him as some sort of right wing character although he considers himself “centrist”. You have to wonder at the sort of media prism that presents Barroso as anything other than a hard left anti democratic dictator. Still, since the EU helps fund the BBC, this kind of spinning is always … Continue reading
