Look at the BBC coverage of the collapse of the Dunfermline Building Society. Check out the headlines “Brown offer to Dunfermline savers” “Brown soothes savers” – relax, the Dear Leader has it all control and there is nothing to worry about.

200 people attended a glittering celebration at the Kensington Royal Garden Hotel the other day. Nearly forty of them were journalists, including senior journalists from the BBC. The function was laid on by Arab Media Watch, or the pro Palestinian lobby, as a fundraiser and a gesture of appreciation for sympathetic coverage of Gaza. This is a mirror image of the Jewish lobby, but, unlike that sinister satanic cabal, this … Continue reading

Who better to provide a Thought for the Day this morning on the wicked centuries of oppression and discrimination against British Roman Catholics as a consequence of the 1701 Act of Settlement than Catherine Pepinster, editor of the Catholic weekly, The Tablet?

The government narrative, parroted by the BBC, is that economic deflation is the dragon which St Gordon must slay. The idea that current government policy is storing up massive inflationary pressures that will cause chaos over the next eighteen months is dismissed and so this morning I listened to a BBC approved commentator, Dr Sushal Wadhwani actually state that inflation would be a nice thing to have. Howard Davies was … Continue reading
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
