Interesting that the BBC uses all its publicity power to promote the fact that U2 have a new album out, even arranging it for U2 to play a “surprise” rooftop gig at the BBC, then push this out across the world media.

Poor Michael Fallon. He pops up on Today just after 7am to properly point out the shocking lack of due diligence exercised with this government over the exit terms for Fred the now Shredded and zap- he gets a verbal mauling from the BBC eunuchs.

When David Mills, somewhat-estranged husband of Olympics minister Tessa Jowell, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison by an Italian court, what was the headline those fearless BBC newshounds with their keen nose for a story came up with? Er… “UK lawyer guilty in bribery case”. Bet that one pulled in the punters. Freeborn John is thinking of starting a list of awful things caused by Conservatism. … Continue reading →

Hilarious conversation with Hazel Blears and John Humphrys about new policy against political correctness. (Inability to mention certain things.) This new policy of abandoning political correctness, (Unfortunately P.C. prevents us from saying out loud what we really mean,) is, for some coincidental reason, designed to prevent radicalisation. Up till now political correctness has prevented us from making jokes about the Irish, Welsh or Scots. (To name just a few.) “Of … Continue reading →
