Former top anti-terror police officer Peter Clarke says the anti-terror police are constrained by the Contempt of Court Act.

The BBC has … Continue reading →

There is only one thing worse than BBC bias and that is seeing BBC bias rewarded. As a graduate of Queen’s University Belfast I am sickened (though not surprised at this most politically calculating institution) to see that it is awarding Orla Guerin a doctorate for services to broadcasting journalism.

Did you see that two BBC bosses have racked up the biggest pensions in the public sector, together worth more than £14m?

This could rise to more than £10m if he works at the BBC until the age of 60. Alan Yentob, 62, the arts … Continue reading →
