Hi all. Been away all day and am only now catching up with things! I guess the thing that strikes me tonight is the way in which the BBC – playing along with the Nulabour pigs whose snouts have been exposed as having beeb sunk deep into the trough of taxpayer largesse, has been playing up the possible police investigation of the leak to the Telegraph. Suddenly, at least on … Continue reading
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.

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.

Another report from the blessed Barbara Plett – this time on those “conservative” tribal heartlands in north-west Pakistan where Islamic terrorism is so popular. Wonder has David Cameron considered an outreach campaign? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Too good to be true. Most of the media reported the goods news story that a Brit (of the non-Nigerian/Ethiopian variant) has been appointed caretaker for 6 months of the tropical Hamilton island, just off the Australian coast. 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
