Via Samizdata I found this post by Timothy Sandefur: They’re fanatics; we just have isolated incidents. Mr Sandefur writes: This week a religious fanatic, driven by his ideological fixations, shot and killed a man that, for political and religious reasons, he considered a murderer. The fanatic drove off and was later caught by police. Of course, the killer himself harbored a idiosyncratic mix of toxic religious and political ideology that … Continue reading
Well then, I believe Question Time in on tomorrow evening and given the political fever that is in the air it seems a shame to let it go. So I shall return to blog it live and hope you will all come along for the fun. The panel consists of Baroness Royall, Liam Fox, Paddy Ashdown, Sir Max Hastings and Fiona Phillips. Since it is now way past “Save Gordon” … Continue reading

Nick Robinson, the Guardian, and even the BBC have given up. Despite their best efforts – even James Naughtie reluctantly agrees – labour is history.No-one will vote FOR anyone, all votes will all be AGAINST.Half of us still think the Tories are toffs, the other half say they’re indistinguishable from labour. No self respecting MP would send their children to the schools they’ve downgraded till they’re only good enough for … Continue reading
In last Saturday’s Telegraph, buried amongst the troughgate, was: “Lebanese accuse Britain and US of appeasing Hizbollah “ by Damien McElroy in Beirut. “Leaders of Lebanon’s pro-Western government have accused Britain and America of “appeasement” of Hizbollah as the radical Muslim movement prepares to seize power.”[….]“ A British diplomat said that the decision to talk to Hizbollah was taken even though the Secret Intelligence service reported it was implicated in … Continue reading
OK – I am supposed to be taking a break but I could not stand by whilst Labour implodes without providing this forum for you to discuss BBC coverage of it. Gordon is in full bunker mentality, the Save Gordon project looks doomed even beyond BBC salvation – so where to now? I wonder will the looming reshuffle be timed to dampen down the results of the elections? Will the … Continue reading
Apart from Jeremy Bowen’s pro Palestinian position, his grievance against Israelis, his reliance on Palestinian stringers because of his inability to speak either Hebrew or Arabic, and his lisp, one thing that annoys me about the BBC’s M.E. editor is the difficulty he has with his own language. This morning he chats with Sarah Montague about Obama’s forthcoming speech aimed at embracing the Muslim world. Struggling for a while with … Continue reading
Thanks to Pounce for drawing my attention to this example of BBC bias. Six killed in gun battle! Home-owner killed! Politically motivated arrests! Police raid! Allegations of torture! Zionist Agents! All of this and more, but wait – Who has done these evil things? Israel is not in the headline. Why not? Because this time Israel is not the culprit. There doesn’t seem to be culprit at all.In fact no-one … Continue reading
