THE STERN GANG.

The Stern Report on climate change, commissioned by the British Government under Blair, is seen by at least some people as being “a deeply flawed attempt to justify extraordinary new taxes and regulations on carbon dumping by quantifying future economic costs should we fail to impose them.” The alarmism that pervades Stern’s politicised climate change analysis would make at least some people wary of it or at perhaps offer a … Continue reading

GOOD TERRORIST, BAD TERRORIST.

It’s part of the BBC brief to portray certain favoured bloodthirsty terrorists as Statesmen, doves of peace even. Self confessed IRA terrorist Martin McGuinness is such a man and be sure to have a hanky ready when you read this cloying BBC report concerning how poor McGuinness has had his life threatened by, erm, other republican terrorists. The BBC chooses not to discuss the fact that when McGuinness was a … Continue reading

TIGER TIGER, BURNING BRIGHT.

More pro-Tamil Tiger propaganda from the BBC here with touching images provided, ahem, “by pro-Tiger media” allegedly shows a government air strike inside a no-fire zone and civilians fleeing. The BBC is proving a very helpful media outlet for the terrorist Tamils as they face a welcome extinction at the hands of the lawful forces of the government.

IMPARTIAL AND FAIR-MINDED?

Yes, we all know that Darling/Brown’s budget has been exposed as a grotesque fraud and none but the most dewy-eyed old style socialist has anything good to say about it. Still, nice to see the BBC already move into official opposition mode as it characterises the Conservative leader as “Dave the miser” Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Rebuilding the Tension

Hurry! The embers are dying, we must stir things up again before it’s too late. People have nearly forgotten about the poor Palestinians!But wait! What about the niggles over impartiality? What about Bowengate? Get Jewish Katya Adler in for some good old fashioned blatantly emotive, one-sided reporting entitled “Demolitions build Jerusalem tension”That’ll do the trick. She can present something panoramic by showing a teeny close-up. The drawback being that there’s … Continue reading

Paxo needs Stuffing

I’ve been away ‘avin a loverly time /wish you were ‘ere. Now I’m home there’s this backlog. Millions of comments and posts have accumulated. All I saw on telly last week was The Apprentice. The one who was fired was useless, but then so were the others. How on earth did they ever even get where they are today? But that’s not BBC bias. Something that appalled me was Jeremy … Continue reading

UK economy buried in prison shock

Sorry I am a bit confused. The BBC currently seem to think that the worst GDP decline since records began is less newsworthy than a Government bureaucratic decision about prison building. You just can’t get the bad news to bury the bad news, these days. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

THE CAMERON INTERVIEW.

Did you get a chance to listen to Sarah Montague interview David Cameron? Here it is in case you missed it. Wonder what you think? My view is that Cameron was OK – in what was clearly a hostile environment for him. Some of his responses disturb me and he still uses Blairist vocabulary on some issues and is wary of stating clearly that the State MUST be rolled back. … Continue reading
