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
Hi all – been away for a few days and just back in time to catch the screaming headline from the BBC that…. a BBC survey shows that Universities would like to be able to charge students more in tuition fees. In what way is this news beyond the stating of the bleeding obvious? I would be surprised if any University refused the chance for a higher income stream! What … Continue reading
What has the BBC got to say about the M.P.s who are talking to Hamas in Syria? Suicide-bomber sympathiser Jenny Tonge aims to force our government to talk to Hamas, and put pressure on the US to do so too. She said she was aware that her meeting with Meshaal could be considered illegal and that she could face arrest on return to the UK. “That is one of the … Continue reading
Number of Irish dissidents ‘tiny’ Police say the number of republican dissidents trying to wreck the Northern Ireland peace process is about 300. Not that I’m surprised or anything, but you can tell when the BBC are really “behind” a certain news narrative because the quotemarks go out the “window”.

Last week on Saturday Live R4. there was an interview with a victim of a traumatic event, typical of the ‘uman interest topics that characterises this programme. This one was unusual because the interviewee was survivor of the terrorist attack at the Munich olympics, Shaul Ladany, an Israeli athlete. Even more unheard of, the whole interview passed off entirely without a reminder of how evil the Israelis are – neither … Continue reading
Man in a Shed notices the BBC’s spin on the Government knife stats story. Nadine Dorries objects to Kirsty Wark and the unequal match up for Mr Choudhary Iain Dale questions another Opposition-lite day of Sunday politics coverage for the Left. Maurizio meanwhile, is “looking hard for reasons to believe” that the BBC’s “Climate scenarios ‘being realised‘” article has not been written with the intent of misleading the average reader”. … Continue reading
