Looks like the BBC has decided that the big story tonight is the emergence of another video of police activities at the G20 event. It’s obvious to me that the only stand out story from that event was the death of Ian Tomlinson. The BBC, it seems, has been looking for an excuse to demote ongoing revelations about systematic abuse of power within the Labour Government. The question of whether … Continue reading

Clearly Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nehanyahu is in for a rough time and we can be certain the BBC will do everything possible to undermine his position. Take this headline today “Netanyahu – No Partner for Peace”. In essence the BBC is shilling for the PA but also helps propagandise on behalf of its dear pal, US Senator George Mitchell. Now I met with Georgie-Boy during the “negotiations” surrounding the … Continue reading
Latest piece of eco-wackery being disseminated by Al Beeb is that the functioning of the Earth’s forests “could” be lost because of climate change! Key word is “could” – read the article and count how often it is used. This sensationalist scare-mongering is all part of a relentless BBC driven process of brain-washing the population into swallowing all these AGW tripe.

Inspector Gadget points out the disparity between this morning’s BBC News coverage of the slapping/striking of Nicola Fisher and the killing of police officer Gary Toms. … this story gets one page in the ‘England’ section with no photograph of the officer and no ‘trial by media’ of the alleged offenders. It was reported on BBC Radio national morning news at 8.03 am for 1.8 seconds. Uninjured Nicola Fisher, 35, … Continue reading
It’s a tricky one, isn’t it? The BBC are laying into the policing of the G20 summit in London, with the latest shock horror being some woman complaining that she was “hit across the face” by an officer. This is a headline grabbing news angle, apparently. Don’t get me wrong, I despise the increasingly politicisation and paramilitarisation of policing – all conducted under Labour. Many within the senior ranks are … Continue reading
It’s easy to understand why the likes of Justin Webb gets so excited about the Obama Presidency. The hard-left ideology that underlines Hopenchange resonates precisely with that running through those employed by the State Broadcaster. Despite a short period in power, Obama has managed to cuddle up to just every tyranny in the world. Naturally this excites the BBC, and so when Obama embraces Venezuelan thug Chavez – smiles all … Continue reading
Here’s a lovely item which positively glows with praise for the wise Obama as he decides that he needs to “regulate” the “pollutant” that is CO2 apparently. The idea that CO2 is NOT a pollutant – a view held by many prominent scientists – does not get a mention. First Obama regulates the banks, and now he wants to regulate the atmosphere.

I see that John Humphyrs has been given his first class ticket to the world and is off to cover the looming South African election. Apparently it is “too soon to write off hope” in this afflicted nation. Not so sure about that. The ANC is a corrupt venal immoral hypocrisy and yet they are looking at being returned for a further term in power, so I hope Mr Humphyrs … Continue reading
