! 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

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

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.
