Given that more people have died needlessly at Stafford Hospital than in the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan COMBINED, I was wondering why the BBC is not running a new campaign to get the Healthcare out of the “quagmire” that is the NHS? No blood for bureaucracy? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Did you see that the BBC have been giving great prominence to the rebuke issued to David Cameron by the repulsive Gorbals Mick in the Commons today? It all concerned Cameron using the word “phony” with regard to Brown’s refusal to accept culpability over his role in creating the current dire economic circumstances. Now I could think of many harsher words to describe how the Dear Leader is dealing with … Continue reading
The BBC dutifully reports that Obama is “angry” at those AIG bonus payments and it has been spinning Democrat outrage like mad for the past two days. The aim is to show us just how principled the new administration is compared to the evil Bush. I wonder why it is that with all those expensive world class – ahem – journalists working for the BBC, nonetheless they fail to report … Continue reading
.. ……than the BBC leads with the truly shocking UK unemployment figures now showing two million + unemployed! Do you share my surprise that the BBC has been LEADING the news agenda today with the release of Sean Hodgson, convicted of murder in 1982, based on new DNA evidence? I can understand that his release is not a minor story BUT I would have thought that with hundreds of thousands … Continue reading
In the opening words of one of my favourite songs “Oh I just don’t know where to begin……” (Can you guess the classic malady from which these words linger?). I’ve been very busy trying to ensure that at least some UK business operates successfully without the obliging hand of the State so hence ongoing lack of posts from yours truly! That said, I HAVE been listening to the BBC dutifully … Continue reading
One of the biggest obstacles to impartial reporting is the language barrier. At the mercy of Palestinian stringers and translators, how can the audience be sure that what they are being told is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Tom Gross has something interesting to say about Jeremy Bowen and his former colleague Chris Gunness. Do read it all. Click through to read and contribute comments … Continue reading
Colleagues Will the BBC’s Bill Law be telling his colleagues about this meeting in Istanbul? Only it might give them a clue as to the nature of Israel’s enemy. So much for the Muslim Council of Britain So much for opening the borders, so much for ‘Talk to Hamas’, so much for the Peace Process. Someone tell the Today programme. Tell them about the attitude Hamas really has towards the … Continue reading
I see the BBC does it’s very best to misrepresent what Pope Benedict has said concerning his views on how the plague of AIDS can be best reduced in Africa. “Pope tells Africa condoms wrong”. He did not but then again “Pope tells Africa marital fidelity and abstinence right” is hardly going inspire the tatty little minds that doodle BBC headlines, would it?

I suppose it was inevitable that with this being St Patrick’s Day the BBC would provide a forum on Thought for the Day to eulogise the immoral “peace process” and it did not disappoint. We had Tom Butler on to mouth the usual platitudes whilst studiously ignoring the fact that the republican “dissidents” killing in 2009 are no different to those who started killing in 1969 but which the BBC … Continue reading
I had to check if the date was April 1st when I heard the BBC item that our Dear Leader was inviting the Iranians to combat climate change by expanding “peaceful” nuclear energy. Bet the Israelis will really love that! Naturally the paper tiger caveat from Prudence is that there will be (more) strict UN resolutions (the sort that we know don’t work) if the Mullahs do what they are … Continue reading
