Well, it’s not everyday I feel a sense of sympathy for a Labour MP but in all fairness, I did feel a little sorry for Jim Fitzpatrick when he was being interviewed on Today this morning. Fitzpatrick has incurred the wrath of all those “moderate” Muslims out there by walking out of a Muslim wedding that he and his wife were attending when they askes to sit apart from each … Continue reading
Did you catch Evan Davies glowing report of Hillary Clinton’s grand tour of Africa? I had to laugh when he declared that Obama is promoting good governance in Africa by stating that “Africa’s future is up to Africans.” Well, that should ensure that there is no good governance given the track record of the collective of thugs and tyrants that hold power across the dark continent! The guy being interviewed, … Continue reading
OK, stick with me on this one please. BBC bias is often sophisticated and nowhere is there more obvious than on any discussion of State monoliths such as the NHS. One of the few Conservatives that impress me is Daniel Hannan. He is courageous, independent-minded and best of all, an actual conservative. That’s why I am not that shocked to read that he has been rebuked by his party leadership … Continue reading
Here is a little more eco-wackery from our State Broadcaster – yes, one of the largest glaciers in Antarctica is thinning four times faster than it was 10 years ago, according to research seen by the BBC. When you think about it, the BBC channels Gore. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Anyone catch the BBC Radio 4 programme earlier today entitled “Islam, Mullahs and the Media”? It asks “Are all Muslims the same”? I doubt it. Might have been more interesting to title the programme “Islam, Mullahs and terrorism”. It could have asked “Are all Mosques the same”…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
“ I would urge [……..] those who work in the media as news and comment editors, [……] to read (this despatch) in full.It concerns the Fatah General Assembly which has been continuing for the past week in Bethlehem, and is central to understanding why Israeli-Palestinian peace remains so elusive. All this has been woefully underreported in the Western media. Instead, the BBC, for example, has been running yet more distorted … Continue reading
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
