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. Mayo is a simpering leftist bore. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
! I suppose that those who may share my delight to see that Israel has taken out the Hamas cesspit and missile launching hotspot that masquerades as the UN HQ in Hamas are a minority. Naturally the BBC are enraged at this and you can expect the full response on Question Time tonight when wannabe suicide bomber Lady Tongue has her say. Even worse for the Beeb, those pesky Jews … Continue reading
Hat tips: me, “Libertarian” in the comments, and Dumbjon of House of Dumb who asks, “You mean it wasn’t the Jews after all?” The title of this post is a reference to a notorious BBC documentary. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

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
You may recall this B-BBC post which linked to a BBC story titled “Doubts raised on US ‘plumber Joe’”: Doubt has been cast over the story of “Joe the plumber”, the man who unexpectedly became the star of this week’s US presidential debate. Joe Wurzelbacher, of Ohio, was thrown into the spotlight after he was used by John McCain as an example of who might suffer under Barack Obama’s tax … Continue reading
I would urge you to be sitting down as you listen to Jeremy Bowen’s latest report from Gaza. It’s amazing, isn’t it, to listen to such naked partisanship dressed up as reporting? Jeremy is nothing more than a pro-Palestinian talking head, doing everything possible to diminish the Israeli response to the savagery of Hamas. He concludes his ever so world-weary diatribe by saying “let’s hope there is a cease-fire soon”. … Continue reading
I was intrigued by this item the BBC ran on Today this morning concerning what it alleges is the “raised tensions” between the Jewish and Muslim communities in France. As far as I am aware, the “raised tension” seems to manifest itself in only one direction, as the Molotov cocktails hurled at a synagogue north of Paris by “youths” demonstrates. I know that the French Interior Minister, Michele Alliot-Marie, in … Continue reading
