Have to laugh at the desperation of the BBC’s attempt to save the Dear Leader’s utterly disastrous world tour leading up to the even more hopeless G20 summit. “Beware cynicism”, we are warned, from the uber cynical Brown and his BBC pals. Is it just me or does Brown’s head look funny in the accompanying pic? Brown is so painfully inept that it is little wonder that non-stories such as … Continue reading

Nice little diversionary tactic from the BBC this morning. At a time of economic turmoil (for those outside the State sector) what could be MORE important than for the Dear Leader to be discussing Royal succession reform with the Palace? The BBC have even produced another of their notorious polls to show the public to be wildly supportive of the ending of the concept of a Protestant monarchy. All wrapped … Continue reading
Don’t get me wrong. I think we can all feel a little sorry for Gordon Brown these days – at least until we look at our pensions, or our children’s futures. The BBC were really doing us all a kindness when they kept his poor rictus grin off the screens as Nigel Farage and Dan Hannan tore into him the other day. It was painful to see him. But when … Continue reading

Did anyone else catch this bizarre item on the Today programme this morning concerning the imaginary correlation between population growth and climate change? It’s well worth a listen if you missed it if only to understand just how demented the BBC has become on this topic! Professor Guillebaud is clearly an ecowacko of the highest order but listen to the easy ride that Naughtie gives him. Did YOU that one … Continue reading
I quote this verbatim from the BBC Today site this morning…”Some 25,000 pupils across the UK will be involved in producing their own news stories as part of the BBC’s School Report News Day. Romaissa and Rayma, from Islamia Girls’ High School produced a report on celebrity culture, and they discuss their experience interviewing PR guru Max Clifford.” And we FUND this garbage ?

Am I the ONLY person in the United Kingdom who gets annoyed that the BBC gives maximum publicity to the claims of Ethiopian illegal immigrant aka Cockney Geezer Binyam Muhamed concerning the “crimes” allegedly committed by our security services against him yet NEVER once enquires as to the serious crimes of which Bambi himself stands accused by the US government? It seems to me that the BBC is very quick … Continue reading
Hands up everyone who wants a thread just about Daniel Hannan. Haven’t we exhausted the subject yet? By the time it gets going the BBC will have reported it. Or some of it. Surely the BBC will be forced to mention it in a minute, even if only because of the ‘viral’ aspect. Bias by omission will then have to be downgraded to bias by sluggishness, then bias by selective … Continue reading
Been watching the Apprentice? I have. Of course it’s all in the editing. A bunch of people are given an impossible task. To do something none of them knows the first thing about in a ridiculously short time, and then being forced to go head to head in the boardroom where the object is to make the other person take the blame for your own incompetence. We all know from … Continue reading
