Oh happy day. Thirty years ago today, the Callaghan government fell and the ascent of Thatcherism took off! The BBC covered it this morning but what struck me was that the reflections from that momentous time were largely provided by the likes of David Steele and Roy Hattersley. There was a noticeable absence of opinion from those at the centre of the Thatcher revolution itself – don’t the BBC have … Continue reading
The BBC are really bigging up the protest in London today by the usual left-wing anarcho environmental rabble. I laughed at the easy ride given to their hero Trade Union fatcat Brendan Barber as he droned on about the need for “ordinary people” to put their views across to Government on the big issues namely “jobs, justice and climate.” This is a perfect storm of left wing values as their … Continue reading

BBC VLOGGING IT! Here you go – my first ever VLOG here at B-BBC. Three points for you to consider; 1. Yes, I know the cam quality is not great but hey, I haven’t a £3.5bn budget for these things you know. 2. This is not the real David Vance – it is my body double, I am naturally much younger in real life. 3. Hope the shock of seeing … Continue reading
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
