Nice Programme Alert!

Little gem about Mendelssohn on Woman’s Hour just now.“Mendelssohn and the Nazis.” Also, look out for Sheila Hayman’s film on June 19th on BBC4, and her radio 3 programme which isn’t on Sunday May 9th as advertised. (There is no Sunday May 9th) It’s on tomorrow, Saturday 9th. May. 9 – 9.45pm “Felix Mendelssohn was the grandson of great Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. Baptised at the age of seven, Felix … Continue reading

GOTTA SAVE LABOUR

Seems to me that the BBC has moved into full “Save Labour” mode as wave after wave crashes down on the hapless heads of their paymasters and political soul-mates in government. The Today programme this morning is a classic example.

The BBC mentioned it – before revealing that a nearby island has been used as a penal colony for Aborigines who have been terribly abused by their white jailers. Nothing like a … Continue reading

SLOW JOE AND THE TWO STATE SHOW

I see the BBC is running the news that slow Joe Biden, Obama’s trained attack poodle, has told Israel that “it must” accept a two-State solution if the “conflict” with the Palestinians is to end. This entire BBC article is written entirely from a pro-Democrat position – which is at least a minor change since it’s normally written from a pro-Palestinian POV. These days, with The One, ascended into power, … Continue reading

Back to Abnormal

That predictably biased UN report that criticises Israel and calls for war crimes investigations, and generally condemns Israel for existing, has stirred up relatively dormant Middle East issues again. Laura Trevelyan’s reports on News 24 even sounded balanced in comparison. She pointed out that Israel has said the UN report was hugely biased and didn’t represent the evidence that was given to them, but merely reflected Hamas’s account of events … Continue reading
