BBC correspondent Mike Thomson travels to Somalia and here is the first in what the BBC threatens will be a series of reports. Oh god. Within a few minutes, Thomson cuts to the chase and asks the US Ambassador Mike Ranneberger why the US refuses to enter into negotiations with the Al Shabaab Islamic killing gangs. When the US ambassador says it is wrong to talk to terrorists, Thomson shoots … Continue reading
You almost have to admire the brass-neck of it all. Listen to this item on Today this morning. “Science” Correspondent Tom Feilden explains that new research suggests that we could in for decades of global cooling but that does not mean the Earth is going to have unprecedented global warming. Just not yet. Feilden discusses research which suggests that the global climate is cooling and this is to do with … Continue reading
In today’s narrative, the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams is thrown into the mix condemning the banks for “not repenting” of their evil ways. Druid Williams plays into the BBC leftist agenda by insisting that Government should have intervened to limit how Banks reward their employees. It’s an all-out assault on the Banking sector at the moment with the culpability of government entirely obscured. I can think of a certain … Continue reading
So, Dhimmi Carter has declared that those who oppose Obama are racists. The BBC neatly links this to Joe Wilson’s comments in Congress the other day when he had the temerity to call it like it is on Obamacare. I suppose one could equally think that it is Carter who is being racist for daring to imply that one cannot oppose The Lightworker without being..erm…racist? What about those many black … Continue reading
The UN, of course, is renowned for being a relentless enemy of Israel. So the latest report castigating Israel for committing “war crimes” when all it did was try to clean out the Hamas sewer that is Gaza comes as no surprise. BBC relish at this report has been obvious all day. The chance to morally equivocate between Israel and Hamas is one they cannot resist! I think there are … Continue reading
It is said that the UN investigation was set up on the premise Israel was guilty. Melanie Phillips calls it a show trial. Mark Regev says it was a kangaroo court. Members of the commission had already publicly declared their positions before the event. The record of Human Rights Watch and their employee Nazi memorabilia collector Marc Garlasco illustrate the dangers of treating such organisations and figures as infallible or … Continue reading

Following on from David’s post earlier today, I am struck by the contrast between the BBC’s pursed lips at Joe Wilson’s saying the words “you lie” to the current US president when he is giving a speech and its indulgent chuckles when Muntadar al-Zaidi threw his shoes at the previous president when he was giving a speech. Mr Zaidi has claimed he was tortured in prison, so it is perhaps … Continue reading
… the first two of the series of Radio 4 party political broadcasts on behalf of the (admittedly substantial) bleeding heart wing of the Labour Party by Helena Kennedy, but did manage to catch the third. Helena Kennedy QC examines the ways in which the best intentions in legal reform can sometimes produce unexpected and unpalatable consequences. Helena looks at the development of alternative systems of justice that bypass the … Continue reading
All so contrived. Over there the BBC glowingly reports Obama’s lecture to the US Financial Institutions the punchline being “they” have not learned the lessons of the mistakes “they” made which caused the financial meltdown. Meanwhile, over here, the BBC reports the left wing IPPR taking the same line. They even given McDoom a chance to weigh in with his bellicose warning that there is “unfinished business” with the banks. … Continue reading
