Anyone catch Frank Dobson bullying his way through a “discussion” on Newsnight? He constantly repeated the NuLabour fantasy that “the bankers” were exclusively to blame for the financial recession. Peston then did a piece claiming the recession was now effectively over in parts of the world such as Japan, and his punchline was that the failure (of Bush) to “save” Lehmans was a prime component in the seismic changes that … Continue reading
Glowing report here from the BBC concerning Obama’s speech to the US Financial institutions. The Lightworker declares that “We will not go back to the days of reckless behaviour and unchecked excess at the heart of this crisis.” Obama’s big plan is to intrude further into the private sector and seek to control it more. Based on this BBC report, everyone agrees with him which begs the questions as to … Continue reading
Anyone catch Lord Mandelson ducking and diving with Jim Naughtie on Today this morning? The big lie being perpetuated this morning was that Labour would “spend wisely” whereas the evil Conservatives would…gasp…CUT vital public services! (The sort that Comrade Barber was on earlier to defend) In fairness to Jim, he tried to get Mandy to say “cuts” when it came to Labour plans but the adroit Lord Rio avoided the … Continue reading
Predictable. Have you read the BBC’s coverage of the huge rally of Americans in DC unhappy at The One and his Obamacare plans? It starts by telling us that there were “tens of thousands” of people there (underplay) before then hailing the fact that the Lightworker addressed a crowd of 15,000 adoring supporters. The MSM has been caught out by the scale of the protest and there is a clear … Continue reading
Comrade Barber of the TUC has his ludicrous economic assessment carried by the BBC here. The odd thing is that Barber gets space for his contention that it would be madness to deal with the burgeoning public sector debt by..erm.. cutting it. McDoom gets space to say all is well. Vince Cable even gets space to have his have it all ways say…but, I think ONE party is all but … Continue reading
I wanted to thank you all for your feedback and update you on where things are going. It is obvious to me that the blogger commenting system is limited and I want to be able to do three things here for you; 1. Ensure good and instant communications2. Keep trolls away if they are becoming disruptive3. Make this site better all the time Thanks to my good friend, The All … Continue reading
aka “The suppression of the truth is the suggestion of a falsehood.“ When I heard on Radio Four news headlines blaze forth the news that German commercial ships had successfully navigated the North East Passage, with the clear implication that it had never been done before (and was now only possible because of climate change), I was puzzled. Hadn’t Stalin put a lot of effort into cracking just this problem … Continue reading
Did John Denham really make the remark that headlined the news on the radio this morning? The Communities Secretary, John Denham, has compared some modern right-wing groups to Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. Was he really echoing the notorious claim that “Muslims are the new Jews?”On the Today programme he said the Guardian had put the words into his mouth.The news headline later changed … Continue reading
With more and more people following this blog everyday I have been thinking about the commenting policy and in particular the being able to comment as “anonymous” feature of blogger. I am naturally libertarian minded – which is why some trolls have not been banned – but I think threads where one “Anon” debates with another “Anon” is a bit confusing. So I have three options and I want to … Continue reading
