Been away all day so just catching up! Was interested to read that the BBC’s Kommissar General Mark Thompson has admitted that the broadcaster has to tackle Islam differently to Christianity and is reluctant to broadcast jokes about it. In other words, the BBC is dhimmified, prepared to set a different standard for Islam and back away from any critique of the ROP. Not really a surprise, and we have … Continue reading
? I happened to tune in to “You and Yours” at lunchtime and was intrigued by the main topic under discussion which was headed “Has the US lost it’s place in the world?” The thesis seemed to be that perhaps it was time for Britain to review the “special relationship” with the USA – for example there’s always China.

Point one: in your comment about the Right’s remarkable anger against Obama (highlighted by David here) you clearly show you are, as they say, “in the tank” for Obama. It’s easily demonstrable as your accusation precisely reflects what avowedly right-wing journalists like Michelle Malkin say is “another false narrative: The narrative of the McCain “mob” ” that is being developed by the liberal-left media. Your … Continue reading
Did you see the BBC shilling for Brown again this morning? It asks, and I quote, “Gordon Brown is due to launch a masterplan to save the world’s rainforests by paying developing countries for not chopping them down. Environment analyst Roger Harrabin reports on whether this new plan will be successful.” A masterplan, eh? Paying people for doing nothing? Think welfarism but this time with trees.

I caught the 8.45am item on the Today programme run by Paul Woods which involved an interview with an 18 year old Gazan homicide bomber. She was allowed to claim that her pending self-explosion was a response to those bad Jews bombing Mosques whilst the faithful are at prayer. No rebuttal of this outrageous Palestinian slur was permitted but then again since the BBC cannot bring itself to even accept … Continue reading
The Telegraph reports on a forthcoming BBC drama which promises us “a graphic murder, homosexual sex and the exorcism of Mother Teresa.” “The series depicts a man possessed by the devil and being skinned alive in a gay sauna. Another episode shows a father threatening to sexually assault his daughter while in another, Mother Teresa is seen on her death bed. In other scenes blood drips from the eyes of … Continue reading
Justin Webb has weighed in on the issue of all those “angry” Republican voters who just won’t do the decent thing and worship The One. As Justin puts it “the fact remains that some Republicans despise Obama in a way few Democrats despise McCain.” Really? And on what basis is this a fact? Justin then spews out the Dem talking point that opponents of Obama have “extreme views.” It’s amazing … Continue reading
More pro-Obama doodling from the BBC. Once again, on the main news portal, is the earth-shattering and election clinching story that a 106-year-old American nun living in a convent in Rome is… going to vote for Obama. The faux cutesy angle on it is that she could well be the oldest person to vote in the 2008 US Presidential election. Sister Cecilia Gaudette, who last voted for President Eisenhower in … Continue reading
And still it comes – the BBC led attack on the McCain-Palin ticket. Here we read read an item entitled “McCain in “hatred” war of words”. The intent of the article is clear; it is to paint McCain-Palin as racists because…sharp intake of breath for Beeboids reading this …they dare criticise The One. It is a well woven piece of race-hustling, using the wild claims of Democrat John Lewis. As … Continue reading
