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

In my Hague Left Hanging post below I alluded to the Haaretz report consisting, it turns out, mainly of hearsay about unethical behaviour by IDF soldiers fighting in Gaza. Eagerly awaited fodder for the pack of wolves, hungry for just such tales of war crimes perpetrated by the IDF. Melanie P addressed the evidence, dismantling it point by point, but it had already been swallowed by the MSM, the hungriest … Continue reading
Anyone catch Justin Webb’s salivating coverage of Obama’s press conference just after 7am this morning? Justin reaffirmed his faith in the Obamessiah declaring to all us unbelievers that The One COULD speak without a teleprompter and of course that there was a real prospect that economic progress was being made via the latest Trillion Dollar “stimulus”. (aka transgenerational income theft) Naturally there was no voice to dissent from the BBC … Continue reading
It has become apparent to commentators like Liam Halligan that the Great Deflation Scare of 2009 is, in his words : “… largely a myth – an alibi for wildly expansionary fiscal and monetary policy concocted by Western governments and their media lackeys. After all, where is deflation? Data released last week put annual US core inflation at no less than 4pc. So why is the Fed doing this, following … Continue reading
Following on from my post a few days ago, I intend to move the entire project on to the next level. As you may know, I want a small team of tech/web experts who can get together, agree on a plan to redesign the site with all mod cons (!) I noted that there were a few other folks who clearly have good knowledge of this area (Hello Gosh, Hello … Continue reading
Another morning and another chance to present the notion that the Conservative Party is divided. Yesterday it was on Inheritance tax, today it is on Europe. Mark Mardell was using the line that for the Conservative Party to withdraw from the (utterly useless) EPP would set up a crisis with the likes of MEP Christopher Weasley sorry, Christopher Beasely applying to join the EPP! Labour, and by definition the BBC, … Continue reading
Why is that the BBC presents the decision as to whether we ruin our British coastline through the building of legions of on-shore wind farms as lying within the gift of the politically biased RSPB? The BBC ran an item this morning which suggested that so long as the developers of these monstrous wind-farms are “sensitive” to specific areas outlined by the RSPB, then they have the green light to … Continue reading
