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
Here’s a lovely item which positively glows with praise for the wise Obama as he decides that he needs to “regulate” the “pollutant” that is CO2 apparently. The idea that CO2 is NOT a pollutant – a view held by many prominent scientists – does not get a mention. First Obama regulates the banks, and now he wants to regulate the atmosphere.

I see that John Humphyrs has been given his first class ticket to the world and is off to cover the looming South African election. Apparently it is “too soon to write off hope” in this afflicted nation. Not so sure about that. The ANC is a corrupt venal immoral hypocrisy and yet they are looking at being returned for a further term in power, so I hope Mr Humphyrs … Continue reading
I see that Vince Cable has once more been given great publicity from the BBC. They love him, don’t they? And all the time – the cold wind of being ignored blows over Conservative George Osbourne and even Ken Clark. One could be forgiven for thinking Vince Cable was Chancellor of the Exchequer given the scale and positive spin to the coverage he is afforded. Click through to read and … Continue reading
You have to hand it to the BBC, they really are doing their best for Gordon Brown. Today they are providing much publicity to the claims by an economist called David Miles, soon to be a member of the totally independent MPC! More green shoots of recovery – recession bottoming out – nothing to see, move along, Vote Labour. You get the drift. Click through to read and contribute comments … Continue reading
It never ceases to sicken me the way in which the BBC seems to be besotted with the loathsome Keith Vaz. In this story, note how they use Vaz to try and undermine Boris Johnson. Pathetic stuff – ever since Boris won the BBC have been doing everything possible to try and get their pal Livingstone back into office next time round. That’s one reason why Red Ken is never … Continue reading
Ahoy Mateys – but if you want a laugh have a read of our man Justin Webb’s latest diary entry concerning Obama’s great triumph over the Somali pirates. It’s truly pathetic stuff, visceral in bias. How he just LOVES Obama. Justin is more of a puppy to The ONE than even Bo. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
