The extent of the BBC’s faith in the global warming mantra was in evidence today as they worked up an articleto claim that- contrary to all the actual trendlines of temperatures in existence- we are facing a greater threat from climate change than so far believed. It really feels like a flame-war between blogs- the more the BBC find their tendentious theory challenged by reality and by the people who … Continue reading
. I was intrigued to read this BBC report on changes taking place in our..ahem…”ally” in the war on terror, Saudi Arabia. The sentence that caught my eye was the one that reads….”Sheikh Ibrahim al-Ghaith has lost his job as head of the commission, which enforces Saudi Arabia’s conservative brand of Islam, Wahhabism.” Now then, Wahhabism is many things – evil, toxic, violent, savage, retarded, malignant….but not, in any way, … Continue reading
We may well be one step closer to seeing what’s inside the notorious Balen report, but the appeal process may succeed in dragging it out forever and a day. Whatever happens, the fact that they’ve gone to such lengths to keep it quiet speaks volumes, probably far more than actually revealing what’s in there. It’s been concealed for long enough to have gathered mythical status. Some say it’s not all … Continue reading
Just watching Newsnight bigging it up for the Obama = Lincoln spin. Sickening. The nauseating panel invited to discuss this ludicrous notion hadn’t a clue – with Michael Gove being disappointingly weak-kneed. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Quite interesting to read this BBC report which attributes the brutal stabbing of “Harry Potter” actor Robert Knox as the act of “a madman.” As Jon reports over on the excellent House of Dumb, it’s lucky that BBC interest in the story ends at the point. After all, you never know what the motivation of the killer really was…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Despite the fact that it dominated the airwaves all day yesterday, the subject of freedom of speech vis-à-vis Geert Wilders is by no means exhausted. Of all the coverage in the mainstream media, the BBC didn’t come out too badly. The best of a bad lot. Sky made a great fuss about airports, planes landing and Wilders on an escalator, but it amounted to little. What I saw of Channel … Continue reading
You just knew the BBC would be all over the story apparently leaked by the oleaginous Keith Vaz that Boris Johnson swore 10 times in a private conversation. My God – what next? Pope is Catholic? Bears defecate in woods? BBC is biased? I caught an exchange between Andrew Gimson and BBC luvvie John O’Farrell on Today earlier. I find the latter individual a most unpleasant person, always ready with … Continue reading
I did so enjoy the pro-radical environmentalism thought for the day on Today this morning from Abdal Hakim Murad – Muslim Chaplain at the University of Cambridge. It’s always nice to start the day with such gentle reflection. Great to see such diversity. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
T OF KING OBAMA. If this was a Republican Presidency, the BBC would be ALL over any mistakes but of course we live in era of The One and so critical faculties are ameliorated. Yet ANOTHER Obama nominee withdraws – this time Judd Gregg. I noticed the BBC chose to present this more in terms of the GOP Senator not being prepared to embrace Obama “reach out.” i.e Blame Judd, … Continue reading
