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

The narrative is pretty clear – it woz the Banks wot done it! The BBC is retailing the government spin that our current financial meltdown is primarily down to the reckless behaviour of the Banks – the so-called “Casino Banking”. If you read this BBC article you will note that it finishes by giving the Lib-Dems the final word on the issue, allowing the wretched Nick Clegg the opportunity to … Continue reading
QUESTION TIME! Just a little reminder that a week has flown by and tonight we face another episode of Question Time Live! Here’s the panel of charmers the BBC has lined up for our edification – Liam Byrne, Justine Greening, Salma Yaqoob, Kelvin MacKenzie and Monty Don. I’ll be here this evening and hope you will be able to join us – it’s a dirty job but someone has to … Continue reading
H. It was a change to hear a GLib-Dem voice other than Vince Cable on Today this morning! The publicity hungry Chris Huhne was interviewed by John Humphrys on the topic of the barring of Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders from the UK. Huhne was, being a good latter-day liberal, all in favour of refusing entry to Mr Wilders. There proceeded a tortuous interview with Humphyrs rightly questioning the logic (or … Continue reading
Interesting article here in the Guardian of all places suggesting that recent “apocalyptic predictions” about Arctic ice melt and soaring temperatures are as bad as claims that global warming does not exist. (I’m not sure anyone says global warming does not exist, some of us query the factors driving it!) The reason I bring this up is that I just watched part of the new David Attenborough series “Nature’s Great … Continue reading
Please tell me I’m wrong. I can’t find anything on the BBC about the message Geert Wilders has received from Irving N. Jones on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Home department.(If anyone hasn’t seen Fitna yet it can be seen on Jihad Watch). Wilders barred from UK: “would threaten community harmony and therefore public security” The Telegraph’s report also seems rather inhibited, or am I imagining things.“A … Continue reading
I was reading through this article on the outcome of the Israeli election. Can you guess to whom the BBC gives the last word ? 😉 It’s also funny to read BBC veiled disapproval of a “horse-trading” PR system which they know will lead to Benjamin Netanyahu becoming the next Prime Minister in preference to their own favourite, Livni.
