The BBC reports that the EU seeks establish a new pan-Europe Institution to supervise all national institutions such as the City of London. Quelle surprise, another power grab from the overlords in Brussels. BBC correspondent and Billy Bunter look-a-like Mark Mardell thrills that ” supporters of the scheme would like to see national bodies like the UK’s Financial Services Authority made subordinate to the new institution and adds that Prime … Continue reading
. Anyone catch the gushing BBC coverage of the Obamessiah’s speech to Congress? It’s not reporting folks, it’s a fan-club. Justin swoons that “the war on terror is over” (Who won, Justin?) and the rest of the BBC fan base masquerading as journalists seem utterely incapable of dissecting the trangenerational debt policies unveiled as “investment.” Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
? I watched a debate on BBC1 Morning news this morning concerning as to whether it was a good idea for children as young as four to be taught about gay relationships, lesbianism etc. Naturally the BBC had a few pretty militant gay lobbyists to press for this systemic desecration of childhood innocence and to provide balance there was one sensible lady from the Campaign for Real Education who simply … Continue reading
One of my fellow writers, Mike Cunningham, over on A Tangled Web has picked up on a piece by BBC Newnight by reporter/commentator/Hamas publicist Mark Urban. Urban complains about recent damage by Israeli rocket fire to war graves, including that of his great uncle, in in the British War Cemetery in Gaza. Mike addds “I wonder why he doesn’t also go to Hamas and demand some compensation from them. Compensation … Continue reading
A key liberal myth, the “Myth of the Myth of the Golden Age” holds that crime wasn’t REALLY lower in the past, streets weren’t REALLY safer.”He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.” The BBC is one of the main propagators of this myth. And here’s Jonathan Freedland with today’s “Long View“, the programme which attempts to make history fit today’s liberal … Continue reading
Blanket coverage for Bono Unfortunately with the wrong kind of blanket. Bono is very busy; hassling world leaders, campaigning, singing in an American accent. “You may not know much about it, but I bet you RECKON something” (David Mitchell) Celebrity opinions are just like any other opinions, but more passionate.

Interested to hear John Humphrys assert this morning that Spring comes earlier each year “because of global warming.” I was wondering on what basis John feels entitled to state this, or was he just making it up as he went along. Give it a listen here, it’s at the very beginning. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Great to see Justin Webb back in good form after all the excitement of his campaigning for Obama to become President! This morning he was suggesting that even Republicans have come around to accepting the idea of the Government nationalising the banks. In fairness though, he added that Obama was having to be careful about how he phrased this since for some pesky reason Americans consider nationalisation as socialisation! It … Continue reading
I know I blogged this last night but I listened to the BBC coverage of the return of Ethiopian illegal immigrant Binyam Mohamed on Today this morning and it was so one-sided as to be about as credible as Binyam’s daring tales of wandering through the tribal areas of Afghanistan/Pakistan to deal with his “drug issues.” The narrative being followed remorselessly by the BBC is “was he tortured”? They appear … Continue reading
Have you been joining in the BBC celebrations as Gitmo Jihadist Binyam Mohamed touches back down on home soil? Not HIS home soil, of course, after all Ethiopiais a lot further to travel, but you get the general idea. I was listening to Peter Allen discussing this on Radio Five this evening and was amazed at his insistence that Binyam (as his lawyer would insist) was an innocent abroad and … Continue reading
