I noticed that the BBC ran an item on “Today” this morning concerning the demands from some of those who have suffered grievously at the hands of the IRA for financial compensation from Libya which supplied the IRA with weaponry. Fair enough, but I’m just wondering why the BBC reporter did not see fit to enquire why it might not be quicker to seek reparations for IRA murder… from the … Continue reading
I see that on last evening’s BBC “Question Time” Shaun “Where’s my butler?” Woodward was trotting out the line that what has happened in Northern Ireland presents a template that should be used to bring ABOUT “peace” in the Middle East. I just wanted to say how utterly trite and disingenuous this is on so many levels and at the risk of being indulgent I would suggest that if you … Continue reading
Hi all! I’ve been away all day and am being taken out tonight by my wife and kids to celebrate my birthday so I won’t be able to do the liveblogging thing on Question Time that we all seemed to enjoy back in December! I promise to get this going next week but I would suggest that tonight should be real leftist hate-fest, with Israel in particular in for a … Continue reading
Had the misfortune to listen to Simon Mayo on 5 Live today interviewing Barton Gellman, author of a new book attacking US Vice President Dick Cheney. The entire interview was basically an opportunity for Gellman to knife Cheney’s reputation as frequently as possible, with several snide comments about Bush thrown in for good measure.

Even worse for the Beeb, those pesky Jews … Continue reading

Tonight’s R5 Phone-in topic : “Are Private Schools a Cancer on Education ?” Discuss. (presented IIRC by a privately educated cocaine user – keep those stereotypes coming, BBC !) Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Having given Prince Harry the full treatment over what he said three years ago, elevating it to a position way above the pro-Israel demos for example, I see that the BBC are now having a go at Prince Charles, over his alleged use of the name “Sooty.” Looks like it is open season on the Royals, still it helps take our minds of the economy and Mr Brown’s stewardship thereof! … Continue reading
