FUEL UP, COULD BE WORSE

Hope all you motorists out there enjoy filling up this morning at the higher pump price care of Mr Brown and his pals. Watched the BBC news cover this topic last night and they helpfully showed us that fuel prices were even higher in France and Germany so it could be worse, right? In the BBC world, the motorist can never be punished enough for having the temerity not to … Continue reading

The Holocaust Tool

This is not straightforward bias, but an example of painfully elaborate impartiality. AKA tolerance of the intolerant, or the other one: ‘there is nothing so unequal as the equal treatment of unequals’.The BBC has been announcing in its hourly news bulletins, that Hamas has “slammed” its friend and supporter UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) for having the audacity to suggest the Jewish Holocaust might be included in the … Continue reading

AUGUST AND OUT!

Well, we have reached the end of another month and I just wanted to thank you all for your continued patronage of the site. This month has seen the highest number of stories posted and whilst I know that they vary in import, and inevitably there is hit and miss! – I like keeping things lively and topical. The site is attracting more and more followers and is read in … Continue reading

IF I COULD TALK TO THE TALIBAN..

Mr Doolittle, McDoom is determined to talk to the Taliban as part of his fantasy strategy in Afghanistan. British Governments have proven rather good at selling out to terrorists over the years and I do appreciate that Brown is merely following in the same dishonourable tradition as Major and Blair but I do wish the BBC would provide balancing voices to those sirens such as Col Richard Kemp. The meme … Continue reading

A BRIGHT IDEA?

Did you catch this interview with Matt Prescott, director of campaign group Ban the Bulb? Fawning. It’s eco-loons like Prescott that IMPOSE their agenda on the rest of us and I would have thought that the BBC could have found at least ONE person to come on the programme and put the alternative view that banning “traditional” lightbulbs is both draconian and entirely ineffective at”fighting” the climate change chimera which … Continue reading

NO SELFISH ECONOMIC INTEREST???

Had a laugh at this item the BBC ran this morning. In essence the suggestion is that the UK Government did not do a deal with Libya for commercial advantage. Oliver Miles, deputy chairman of the Libyan British Business Council, was wheeled on to suggest there was probably some “political” deal though the objective of this was unspecified. Of COURSE there was a deal for commercial and political advantage. Palmerston’s … Continue reading

SPOT THE MISSING WORD…

“A sex offender deemed to be a danger to women and children has absconded from a psychiatric unit in West Yorkshire. Mohammed Rafiq Passwala did not return to Fieldhead Hospital, near Wakefield, after being given unsupervised leave. Passwala, who was convicted of sex offences in 1996, is described as Asian, 5ft 7in tall, of stocky build with black/grey hair and a full beard.” “Asian”, eh? Mmmm, I think there’s another … Continue reading

INSTITUTIONALISED BIAS

I listened to this programme on Tuesday past and dare you to do the same. It’s an opportunity for BBC favourite Human Rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith to pontificate. A nice little lefty love-in, tucked away in the schedule for your edification. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
