“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

BBC running the line that Single Mums are just fine and dandy and broken families just don’t matter. They use a specious OECD report to imply that there is no evidence to suggest that children brought up in a traditional family are any better off than those brought up by a single mother. I am sure that there are some single Mums who do a great job in bringing up … Continue reading
A) British Police Attacked by Muslim MobB) Rioting British Muslim Mob Threw Fireworks at PoliceC) Police hit out at fireworks mob One of these headlines is from the BBC. I know the ones that use the M word are rather anti Islam so it’s no level playing field, but the BBC has managed to turn the whole incident inside out. The police are the villains!

I see that the feminazis are out for male blood today and the BBC are keen to give them a platform. A third of teenage girls suffer sexual abuse in a relationship and a quarter experience violence at the hands of their boyfriends, a survey suggests. Nearly 90% of 1,400 girls aged 13 to 17 had been in intimate relationships, the NSPCC and University of Bristol found. Of these, one … Continue reading
Oh, I just love the bias that riddles this report! UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is visiting the Arctic Circle in Norway to draw attention to the need for action at climate change talks in December. Mr Ban said it was “absolutely crucial” that world leaders took united action. In December, leaders must agree on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol for cutting carbon emissions, which are believed to cause global … Continue reading
Nick Cohen in Standpoint Magazine : A while ago, a BBC producer phoned to tell me I had written a “controversial” book. I knew that already, and gathered from the teeth-sucking sound coming down the line that she did not approve. “So,” she continued, “we’ve lined up four guests to argue against you.” I told her to go away — maybe I used a stronger term — and then thought … Continue reading
Another day on the BBC and another example of eco-wackery. This time, ladies and gentlemen, I offer you artificial trees. The underlying premise, of course, is that mankind is to blame for “climate change” – that is settled science, right? Listening to Professor Hoskins is really quite frightening and yet this is what the Royal Society is thinking. I wish they didn’t bother.
