I covered this over on my own blog and didn’t want today to pass without making reference here on B-BBC. It is eight years ago since Islamic savages committed the atrocity that we call 9/11. Eight years on, even the BBC still makes reference to the event such was the scale of the terrorism. Do you remember the Question Time that took place on the BBC a few days later? … Continue reading
BBC reports that the the government will punish those who made large amounts of money whilst the Rover car business was running into the ground. Good idea. Will the government now take the same action against those politicians who presided over our economy as it also ran into the ground? Will the BBC ask such a question? No. There is a deep-seated contempt for capitalism at the BBC and every … Continue reading

It might mean that you save the planet. Here is a treat for connoisseurs of global warming alarmism; It’s Roger “the science is settled” Harrabin talking to McDoom’s new energy adviser Prof David McKay.

Comes the news that Sex tests carried out on Caster the world 800 metres champion, show that … Continue reading
How interesting. The UK is “tantalisingly” close to winning the battle against swine flu, the chief medical officer says. The BBC trumpets this good news and makes it seem like the Government plan has been an absolute triumph. The idea that this has been all much ado about nothing gets no mention, no alternative opinion. The Government and the NHS has saved our lives – rejoice! Click through to read … Continue reading
I am no fan of Afghanistan but the relentless attacks from the BBC on the recent election have been staggering. The State Broadcaster has given the allegations from Abdullah Abdullah (Lack of parental creativity?) massive publicity and whilst I carry no candle for Karzai I believe that the BBC is doing everything it can do undermine any sense of progress in this distant land. The fact that there has been … Continue reading
I cannot justly call this bias, but this headline from the British Broadcasting Corporation is a tad strange: Obama tackles UK PM on Lockerbie The BBC obviously thinks that there is a substantial audience out there that knows who Obama is, that knows what Lockerbie refers to, but that would not recognise the name of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Sir Michael Lyons, the Chairman of … Continue reading
