NHS worship is a central theme of the BBC, I guess one State monolith will always approve of another. But I wonder will the BBC be investigating why it is that almost €1.2bn has been spent on NHS bureaucrats in 07/08 – a doubling of expenditure since 2003? I suspect that unlike you and I, when the BBC sees this vast increase in funding they don’t feel angered at such … Continue reading

It’s almost pitiful to watch the desperation of the BBC as it continues to seek out those illusive green shoots of recovery. Today, they have been located in France and Germany where we are now informed that they have “exited recession.” Not that long ago Gordon Brown assured us all that the UK was better placed than any other major economy to withstand the recession. Yet here we have other … Continue reading
Last week, the government released Great Train robber Ronnie Biggs from prison on “compassionate” grounds. It now looks like the government is preparing to release the Lockerbie bomber, Al-Megrahi from prison on “compassionate” grounds so he can return to Libya and die there. I was wondering why we bother with prisons at all? On the BBC this morning, Barnardos were in attack mode making claims about all the “children” that … Continue reading
The BBC acts as an echo chamber for gay rights activists, Stonewall and this time around football is “institutionally homophobic.” Have a read of this pro gay rights propaganda. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I suppose it is one of those “silly season” stories that all the media loves but it was given quite a positive hearing on the PM programme this evening and I had to stop and double check to hearing that I was really hearing the proposition that….pubs should be opened to children for lunch…. as a way of fighting the recession. Eddie Mair seemed quite taken by Prue Leith’s lunacy. … Continue reading
Do yourself a favour and have a read of this gloriously biased article on climate change by BBC journo Richard Black. Throughout the article is the assumption that there is NO DEBATE to be had on the merits of Kyoto and for that matter what follows it. For the BBC, the science is “settled” – Al Gore would be so proud of them. Just a pity we have to fund … Continue reading
Have you read this piece of pro-Obama garbage churned out by our entirely neutral State Broadcaster? It’s been fun watching The One flounder on this topic as he tries to socialise healthcare but the BBC is determined to present him as master of all he surveys. Isn’t it also nice to read there were no “angry scenes” at the meeting. Nice touch BBC.
Just giving the garage its summer clean and sort, when the following idiocy was aired on the PM program about ten minutes ago. They were discussing the Burmese sentence on the noble Aung San Suu Kyi. I paraphrase : “… and we’ve just had a mail come in on the subject of Burma, which says ‘Isn’t it a tragedy that Burma hasn’t got any oil ? Otherwise the resolutions would … Continue reading
Wonder can you help me this BBC report. You see it concerns the Scottish badminton team who it seems now feel like “prisoners” in India because the English team has left that land. Why has the English team legged it from the World Championships being held there , you ask? Well, we have to do a little work to find out why! In paragraph three we learn off a “terrorist … Continue reading
