. It’s amazing how much attention the Hillsborough story is getting from the BBC. We have already covered the hype surrounding the two minute silence but today, the BBC is now pushing the self-serving Labour spun angle that “secret files” could be made available to cast new light on what happened that day over twenty years ago. Of course headlines this are quite helpful to Jacqui Smith and co, aren’t … Continue reading
Further to Ed’s post, I too am stunned at the lack of coverage the BBC affords to the tsunami of damaging stories to Labour all over the press today. The Balls story, the Collins story, the plummeting poll numbers ALL off-radar as the State Broadcaster continues to attack the Police. I also read that Jonathan Ross has been cracking jokes yesterday as the BBC read out an official statement lambasting … Continue reading
Keep an ear out for next Thursday’s Radio Four ‘The Report’ which promises to reveal the electoral tactics of the British National Party as they campaign for ‘a coveted Euro seat’. I somehow don’t think it’s going to be an admiring profile. Isn’t there some kind of law about doing this sort of thing at election time ? (the revelations have also appeared here and here. Doesn’t Nick Griffin look … Continue reading
Looks like the BBC has decided that the big story tonight is the emergence of another video of police activities at the G20 event. It’s obvious to me that the only stand out story from that event was the death of Ian Tomlinson. The BBC, it seems, has been looking for an excuse to demote ongoing revelations about systematic abuse of power within the Labour Government. The question of whether … Continue reading

Clearly Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nehanyahu is in for a rough time and we can be certain the BBC will do everything possible to undermine his position. Take this headline today “Netanyahu – No Partner for Peace”. In essence the BBC is shilling for the PA but also helps propagandise on behalf of its dear pal, US Senator George Mitchell. Now I met with Georgie-Boy during the “negotiations” surrounding the … Continue reading
Latest piece of eco-wackery being disseminated by Al Beeb is that the functioning of the Earth’s forests “could” be lost because of climate change! Key word is “could” – read the article and count how often it is used. This sensationalist scare-mongering is all part of a relentless BBC driven process of brain-washing the population into swallowing all these AGW tripe. Click through to read and contribute comments on this … Continue reading
Inspector Gadget points out the disparity between this morning’s BBC News coverage of the slapping/striking of Nicola Fisher and the killing of police officer Gary Toms. … this story gets one page in the ‘England’ section with no photograph of the officer and no ‘trial by media’ of the alleged offenders. It was reported on BBC Radio national morning news at 8.03 am for 1.8 seconds. Uninjured Nicola Fisher, 35, … Continue reading
It’s a tricky one, isn’t it? The BBC are laying into the policing of the G20 summit in London, with the latest shock horror being some woman complaining that she was “hit across the face” by an officer. This is a headline grabbing news angle, apparently. Don’t get me wrong, I despise the increasingly politicisation and paramilitarisation of policing – all conducted under Labour. Many within the senior ranks are … Continue reading
It’s easy to understand why the likes of Justin Webb gets so excited about the Obama Presidency. The hard-left ideology that underlines Hopenchange resonates precisely with that running through those employed by the State Broadcaster. Despite a short period in power, Obama has managed to cuddle up to just every tyranny in the world. Naturally this excites the BBC, and so when Obama embraces Venezuelan thug Chavez – smiles all … Continue reading
