I’ve been away so sorry about lack of posts from me! Anyway back in time for Question Time and what a soaraway sizzler it promises to be. We have Shirl the Pearl Williams, we have Germaine “Moonbat” Greer , then there is wee Dougie Alexander, Conservative Andrew Mitchell (Sounds a bit drippy to me) and Toby Jug Young. Might be a laugh watching them big up Prudence ever since he … Continue reading
I’m taking a recent phenomenon, namely the social acceptability of ‘dinner party’ antisemitism, as a signal that it’s time to look beyond merely citing individual cases of bias. Each particle of bias inevitably joins forces with every other till they clump together into a massive whole and become the norm. Once accepted and firmly embedded, from there on in everything hurtles downhill. Antennae in my horns sense that we are … Continue reading
I wonder if the BBC can realise just how pandering this Kevin Connolly article is to Gordon Brown’s chosen narrative of his trip to Washington? Right from the beginning it takes the Brown line: “Even as the Prime Minister grapples with the catastrophic economic fallout of globalisation, he has been suffering at the hands of the media’s own version of it.” Attacks on Brown’s blatant showboating are described as “unkind”. … Continue reading
of imbalance Via a number of blogs, including the excellent Augean Stables, from figures discussed here, the casualty “footprints” of two ongoing conflicts. The BBC is obsessed with one of these conflicts. Can you guess which? As one blogger says: “My only hope is that, forty years from now, this scandal will be seen as a problem of the past. As a symptom of the problems of a society -our … Continue reading

! I see the health fascists in the SNP are trying to stop alcohol being priced “too cheaply” – whatever that means. This kind of Nanny Statism is beloved of the BBC since it embodies the central meme that the State always knows best. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I see that BBC are pushing the line that “Asians” are getting more and more into football but apparently racism still plays a part from deterring some of these “asians” from going to a game. Looks like soccer is also institutionally racist, just like every other UK institution. How lucky we are to have the BBC to point these matters out to us.

Another morning, another hysterical story proving just how bad “global warming” is for dear old Blighty! The BBC provided a platform for Ruth Davis head of “Climate change” at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds to give flight to her theory that Britain’s birds are being driven northwards and towards extinction by the grim advance of global warming. There’s nothing like a little one-sided climate sensationalism to get … Continue reading
I listened to this interview with Nicholas Young, chief executive of the British Red Cross, on “Today” this morning. He was on to argue for more financial help for Gaza and to ensure that those pesky borders aree opened up to allow for the flow of all that “humanitarian aid” which the inhabitants of this moral sewer require. It’s interesting to listen him get through the interview without having to … Continue reading
Dear BBC, You’re doing well. Israel is demonised and the Jews are dehumanised, now you’re getting on with normalising Islam! This morning someone with a foreign namewas being asked how to punish Israel some more for its war crimes, did you know that over 800 civilians have been killed in Gaza? A lot of young people are trying to combine Islam and rap music. Fascinating, I was so inspired. Why, … Continue reading
