Ok then – just back on the site and having a look through some of the lively threads. All good stuff but I do wish that there was less swearing and fewer ad hominem attacks. That is no way to approach civil argument and just as you would not go up to a stranger (I hope!) and start swearing at them then I wish the same civility was extended to … Continue reading
Well then, it appears the NHS may not be quite the envy of the world that some of it’s propagandists – including the BBC- suggest. This is a tricky one for the BBC. You see the pain and anguish which the NHS causes to so many people cannot be cloaked on this occasion BUT one must be careful not to damage a State funded bureaucracy, after all you never know … Continue reading
The BBC is the main source of the misinformation that makes some people call all supporters of Israel ‘foam-flecked fanatics,’ and which makes us in turn think of those people as gullible fools. These wordbattles continue in the face of the mass of evidence piling up before your very eyes, evidence that some of you go to great lengths to avoid acknowledging.Fanatical Islamists can hold meetings in Kensington Town Hall, … Continue reading
I see that the eco-wackos will be out in force today, causing disruption for Londoners and costing the taxpayer lots of cash. Yet if one reads this report on the “Climate Camp” from the BBC one could be forgiven for thinking this is an outing from the Salvation Army rather than a hard left rabble with nothing better to do but threaten and disrupt the lawful activities of other citizens. … Continue reading
Well then, turned on the BBC news and it all looked very solemn. Yes, they are in mourning for that “political giant” Ted Kennedy who has died overnight. Given his support for IRA terrorism over the years, you will excuse me if I weep no tears for this man. The BBC eulogy was sprinkled with the word “liberal” although still pretending that Kennedy was admired “by all”. He was not, … Continue reading
Israeli PM Netanyahu was in London today (So am I!) to see Macavity and I have lost count the number of times that BBC reports make references to “occupied” parts of Jerusalem. Let us be straight. This is right out of the Palestinian propaganda playbook and it seems to me that the BBC is institutionally incapable of being fair-handed on this issue. Palestinians do not “own” so much as one … Continue reading
Just watched the BBC evening news. Macavity has been found almost a week after it became apparent that the Scottish administration was preparing to release the convicted mass murderer Megrahi. And the BBC reports he is “repulsed” and “angry” at the scenes of celebration in Libya as they got their boy back. In a display of testosterone-induced anger that would have done Caster Semenya proud – Brown showed his true … Continue reading
It’s a laugh, isn’t it. The BBC were salivating this morning about the fact that retailers who sell violent video games and 18-rated DVDs to children cannot be prosecuted because of a legal blunder 25 years ago. Yes – made under the evil Thatcher junta! At no point does the BBC query why after more than a decade of Socialist nirvana nothing has been by Labour done to fix it. … Continue reading
It’s been a big day for the UK economy if one believes the BBC. Green shoots of recovery are everywhere. “The recession is at an end” goes one headline. Confidence is shooting up ( just like the unemployment figures, sssh!) and it looks like Captain Brown, employing his formidable Keynesian skills, has saved the day. Such is the fantasy being peddled by the BBC today – how long to go … Continue reading
