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

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
