.. ……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
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”.
