Comments Off on THIS IS WHERE THE HOME TRUTH ENDS

Thought I would share with you those words that the BBC attack you for daring to use on-air. I’m not talking about vulgarity – that’s the job of Jonathan Ross and so many of the BBC “Comedians” and they are well paid for debasing our language. No, I’m talking about the political vocabulary and the things that must not be aired. A few years ago, I took part in a … Continue reading →

Comments Off on WHEN DID YOU STOP BEATING YOUR WIFE?

In essence, the BBC meme is that in the aftermath of Islamistan murdering THOUSANDS of people in the USA, British security and intelligence services should have realised that their immediate priority was to ensure the UK did..not get involved in rendition or become complicit in any way with the “torture” of alleged Jihadists. They’ve been dragging this theme out all morning, culminating in Universal Shami getting a canter through the … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Dirigism rules, ok!

Well, maybe not that exactly, but something close to the BBC’s heart- the idea that Government should intervene as much as possible in the economy. In this article the BBC gives us a tale of two factories, one in Wales, one in England. One helped by the Welsh Assembly, one not helped by Westminster, you see where this is going? It would be a neat little comparison were they not … Continue reading →

Wonder what you make of the news that Gary Rogers, who previously edited BBC One’s Six O’Clock News, set up GR Media in 2006, and it won a contract with the Corporation just months later. The contract awarded to GR Media in 2006 involved setting up an Arabic service for the BBC. Nice money, eh? A self perpetuating hypocrisy. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Comments Off on WILLING TO DIE FOR YOUR FAITH?

Wondered if you caught the debate on Nicky Campbell’s “Big Question” concerning whether one should be willing to die for your faith? It is was set up by liberal Nicky be comparing the faith imperative behind Taliban homicide-bombers with Christians butchered for their faith (by Muslims, but Nicky didn’t go there) So, no real difference between the value systems of Islam and Christianity – right? Meanwhile, another big question was … Continue reading →

Comments Off on VOTE CONSERVATIVE, GET LABOUR

Had to laugh at the wriggling of Andrew Lansley on Marr this morning. We have to be honest here and acknowledge that assuming the Conservatives come to power next June, we WILL be hit with an instant increase in VAT, we will be stung with income tax rises, and Cameron will continue to shovel cash into the gaping maw of the NHS. All good reasons NOT to support such a … Continue reading →

RACE HUSTLING PART TWO!

Comments Off on RACE HUSTLING PART TWO!

Just off the BBC and what was the usual very short period of debate with both the opening words and last words being handed to my opponent (natch) as well as the host attacking me for the use of the words “race hustler” in connection to the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton! Talk about pricking a balloon. We talk here about BBC bias here but when you are … Continue reading →

NATION BUILDING?

Comments Off on NATION BUILDING?

I see that Al Beeb has been giving much publicity to the comment from Gen Sir David Richards the incoming head of the Army that “nation-building” in Afghanistan could last decades. Now, I am not sure why Gen Richards is pontificating on matters political (The BBC does not ask) nor am I clear on why the BBC could not find any commutator who might take issue with this interpretation of … Continue reading →

RACE HUSTLING

Comments Off on RACE HUSTLING

Well, I will be ON the BBC tomorrow morning – BBC Radio Ulster, Sunday Sequence hosted by the genial William Crawley, just after 9am. The topic being discussed is, as I would choose to put it, race hustling. A local politician over here, Sammy Wilson, has gotten himself into a lot of bother for daring to suggest that the “anti-racism” industry is a self perpetuating indulgence which exists to find … Continue reading →
