“Trust is the foundation of the BBC. Audiences are at the heart of everything we do. We take pride in delivering quality. We respect each other. We are honest. We are impartial.” The BBC Values, from the back of BBC Radio Devon presenter Graham Danton’s electronic entry card into the BBC building. SUNDAY afternoon radio presenter Graham Danton has been abruptly sacked by the BBC after more than 20 years, … Continue reading
Did you read that Harriet Harperson has been flagging up that the BNP represents a threat to Labour at the upcoming Euro-poll? The BBC helpfully repeats Ms Harperson’s bleating but digs no further. Is it possible, do you think, that the reason the BNP poses any kind of credible threat is because disaffected LABOUR voters may choose to rally around it? And will the BBC give the BNP a chance … Continue reading
Did you catch this interview with the incoming Archbishop of Westminster the Most Rev Vincent Nichols on Today earlier this morning? Nichols was attacked within a few minutes for daring to suggest that British Roman Catholics oppose the abortion/condom advertising plans from Brown and his pals, and of course the Pope’s words on Aids in Africa were taken and quoted out of context. I wish the Archbishop well as I … Continue reading
Perhaps you have already seen this remarkable BBC item suggesting that Mrs Thatcher was not really “Thatcherite”!

The BBC is biased. Yes? In favour of right of left values. Really? Provide instances of this so we can lobby the State broadcaster! 2.

Hi all! Just getting my feet back under the B-BBC table after being away for the past week and what I thought we could do is that given the fact that Question Time is off-air for another few weeks we could do our OWN Question Time. What are the questions you would like to discuss – in particular relation to the BBC’s coverage of current news? Make your suggestions below … Continue reading

Another poisonous piece from the Man from Laramie. Another immature puerile stream of puke; clumsy, artless, biased and inept. He got so carried away with his description of Palestinian hardship seasoned with lashings of sentimentality that he almost forgot to add the obligatory token reference to eight years of inconvenience from a few irritating home-made rockets. Apart from that brief allusion, he neglected to include any smidgeon of a clue … Continue reading
