The BBC seems to be at the fore for propagating the Government view that any bonus payment is wrong if tax-payers money is involved. Currently the banks are at the heart of this debate, with the likes of little Yvette Cooper popping up on the Today programme this morning to demand that bankers exercise “moral responsibility” and forego any bonus payments to which they may be legally entitled. Perhaps that … Continue reading
There is NOTHING the BBC likes more than the chance to shill for terrorists, sorry, I meant militants. Hence we were treated to another five minute ad for “Britain” Binyam Mohamad on Today this morning. Ethiopian illegal immigrant Mohamad is now an official BBC cause celebre and the fact that this captured Jihadist ticks all the boxes for the BBC clearly adds to his attraction. His only crime was to … Continue reading

I see that Carol Thatcher has received death threats over her alleged ‘golliwog’ comment about a tennis player. Miss Thatcher, who has taken refuge in Switzerland following the furore over the incident, is said to be considering suing the BBC over her dismissal from The One Show. Her agent said: ‘It’s been an awful time. We’ve even had death threats.’ If this is true – should she not report the … Continue reading
Oh dear – read this and then feel so sorry for all those working for the Foreign Office. Do you feel their pain? This article is loaded from start to finish with pro-F.O. spin and yet the same rotten BBC that report this blithely dismiss the worries of British business that is being crippled by the same falling Pound vs the Euro /Dollar by pretending that our “exports” will more … Continue reading
The BBC seems obsessed in continually advancing the gay agenda. It seems that whatever the subject the BBC can somehow find an angle to bring in the gay perspective. Take this piece it is running today about much easier it is to be gay in the NHS as it promotes the values of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Doctors and Dentists (Gladd). Why can we not discuss the virtues … Continue reading
Sarah Montague surpassed herself the other day with her barely concealed contempt for Israel’s spokesman Mark Regev. This brought home the fact that it is now the norm to hate Israel, and that hatred has come to include Britain’s Jews. Melanie Phillips has an alarming article which has attracted some suitably alarming comments. The ever-increasing acceptability of antisemitic slurs and insinuations by all and sundry is in stark contrast to … Continue reading
I happened to tune in to the BBC’s “Any Answers” a little earlier today. It was fascinating to hear caller after caller demonise the UK banking sector, demanding an end to bonus culture and the possible arrest and prosecution of senior bankers. There was also a call to stop the payment of bonus payments in the private sector. (No mention of the huge bonus payments the BBC have been awarding … Continue reading
And if this comment, on Alice Cook’s economics blog UK Bubble, is correct, diversity is compulsory at CBeebies. The comment is by UK blogger Electro-Kevin. I can’t bear to watch any soaps, police/hospital dramas … There is an overt left-wing bent in all of them. Even Life on Mars was supposed to be a snipe at bigotry but backfired as the audience (sick of crime) loved Gene Hunt. I feel … Continue reading
