Did you catch this interview concerning South Africa’s “golden girl” Caster Semenya, she would won the Gold medal whilst looking more masculine than Usain Bolt? It seems that she, and that proud ANC government she represents are “humiliated” by the suggestion that “she” may in fact be a “he”. The BBC managed to find plenty of family and supporters who insisted that “she was really a she”. From the BBC … Continue reading
God, has there been anything more nauseating than listening to Mr Bean look-a-like Foreign Secretary David Miliband on the BBC telling us how “deeply distressed” he was at the heroes welcome afforded to convicted mass murderer Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi in Tripoli. Gosh – who would have imagined that the Libyans would celebrate the return of a killer – especially after Obama had warned them not to do so??? I … Continue reading
I just love the way the BBC tries to ameliorate the wanton destruction that has been caused to the UK economy by the feckless Brown. Here’s a nice example of what the BBC does best.. The number of new cars made in the UK fell 17.9% in July from the same month a year earlier, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said. But the drop, to 107,635 cars, … Continue reading
Here we go another open thread. I see the Lockerbie mass murderer has been set free, thank goodness we have so many compassionate politicians, eh? Anyway, the floor is yours.. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
This is a great catch by Pounce that I think deserves much greater prominence. “The BBC, it’s insipid hatred of Israel, arms exporters and just a little extra added to the story.So has anybody seen that bBC revised coverage of that parliamentary report on weapons sales to Israel and Sri-lanka while omitting the real gist of the report on HMG not knowing that brits were buying weapons from the Ukraine … Continue reading
Some excellent observations over on our most recent Open Thread concerning how the BBC have treated David Cameron’s suggestion that there is a looming debt repayment on the horizon. Cassandra says.. “Well the toadies invited a couple of well chosen economists whose line was superficially aligned to the newlabour one (funny that eh?) that in fact there is no problem and the markets are confident of the UKs abillity to … Continue reading
The BBC likes to play along with the nonsense that the “A” level has not been dumbed down. So today as even more students get Grade “A” the BBC changes the narrative to being one about the availability of university places. Naturally Labour play along with this and and thus the context of the debate changes in a way that favours the radical egalitarians. Let’s ignore the emasculation of what … Continue reading
The BBC has been working itself up into quite a frenzy ahead of the Afghan elections. The narrative is all about minimising any sense of progress being made. We had this diatribe broadcast at 7.49am this morning suggesting that the Afghan government does everything possible to “promote fraud” (Bit like Labour, really) and then at 8.34am the BBC interviewed Afghan “warlord turned militant” Gulbuddin Hekmatyar – who is the US … Continue reading
Working in the NHS is clearly the world’s toughest job (!) and it’s not surprising that sickness rates are vastly above those of the private sector. Ahem. Listen to this interview. Boorman is hopeless but Humphyrs clearly holds back. Repeat after me – the NHS is the envy of the world. The third world. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Right, been away all day and just back in at B-BBC central. Did you catch this item that the BBC ran this morning on how UK arms are used when exported? The narrative was simple – it is wrong for the UK to export arms components if these are used to fight terrorists. Roger Berry MP was visceral in his misrepresentation of how Israel and Sri Lanka used the weapons … Continue reading
