I see the BBC is reporting that Gordon Brown, he who has saved the world, has urged the banks to “come clean” over their toxic debts so people could start “trusting them” again. It’s just one more puff piece aimed at presenting Brown as an honest bloke who just wants all those nasty private financial institutions to be like him and plainly share with the public just how inept they … Continue reading
UNWRA goes on the offensive against Israel, and describes what it terms “an attack” on a Gazan school as a “war crime”. The it phones Jeremy Bowen, and the idea is now being propagated that Israel must be tried for war crimes. What sickens me is that the BBC must know that Hamas are committing war crimes on a daily basis and not ONE of their intrepid reporters has thought … Continue reading

I am sure that the BBC knows the difference between a truce and a hudna so why does this report make reference to Hamas offering a 12 month truce? I reckon that after the pounding Hamastan has taken it will need at least 12 months to rebuild itself militarily. A hudna is of no benefit to Israel and yet that is what is being retailed by the likes of the … Continue reading
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. 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.
