Evan Davis was being a bit economical with the actualite the other day when he said that ‘we don’t often talk directly about demographics‘. The BBC is quite happy to discuss them – not only that, but to discuss them in a context of conflict or civil disorder – as long as they’re a long way away. Here’s Jim Muir’s famous ‘I saw it coming all along‘ Iraq piece. Iraq … Continue reading
Hi all! Just to let you know that I have decided to liveblog Question Time tomorrow night. You will be aware I stopped this when my esteemed colleague on the QT liveblog Geoff was taken seriously unwell and I was very concerned for his very survival. His condition continues to show small improvements although he is still hospitalised and the road to recovery will be long and arduous. However I … Continue reading
Co-conpirator over on The All Seeing Eye, G.OT. picked up on this little gem from last week’s Question Time. Have a look at the interplay between La Harperson and Dimblebore. Then please click here to read G.O.T’s take on this instance of BBC bias – well worth your time. The good thing is that there are more than enough of US spotting THEIR bias.

No, I’m not talking about Sarah Palin – though she is lovely! I’m talking about the generosity the BBC extends here to McDoom’s wife, Sarah and her new blog on the risible G8 conference. I recall the BBC desperately spinning the tall tale that ’twas the intrepid Sarah that came to save her husband at the last Labour conference, as she added humanity to her husband’s profile. Looks like Sarah … Continue reading
Oh no – looks like those bad Americans have “killed dozens” in north-west Pakistan. Any bets it is another wedding party? Love the way the BBC leaves the nature of the “dozens” allegedly killed vague in the headline. I suppose “killed dozens of our enemies” would be too judgemental?God forbid the US has taken out dozens of Jihadi vermin before they could try and kill our soldiers… Click through to … Continue reading
The BBC got more than they bargained for when they interviewed Colonel Richard Kemp on BBC News 24 during Operation Cast Lead, so nobody should hold their breath waiting for them to report this. If the BBC gave half as much publicity to this speech as they did to the Amnesty report even the flying pigs might suffer an apoplectic fit.

One of the reasons I like to tune into the BBC is to hear the mad delusions from leftworld as it tries to spin for McDoom when we ALL know that it’s over bar the shouting until he is prised out of Number 10 next June with a crowbar. This morning on Today the BBC was pushing the idea that the recession is over. Or so says the Chamber of … Continue reading
So, on this day four years ago, around this time, four Islamic Jihadists travelled from the north of England and then detonated themselves on the London transport system, killing 52 people and injuring hundreds of others. This was an act of war by militant Islam against the British people and since that time our security forces have averted many other attempted acts by other Islamic killers. And yet, when I … Continue reading
… says Evan Davies on the Today programme, treading delicately on eggshells as he interviews Richard Ehrman, author of ‘The Power of Numbers’ . Funny that. “Partly, perhaps, because it all tends to change rather slowly, and partly perhaps because we have an aversion to any kind of population control” I wonder who the ‘we’ is ? And aversion to population control ? You wouldn’t get that impression from the … Continue reading
