Truly remarkable. Some of the cash from the BBC’s Children in Need charity may have been used to fund the propaganda activities of the suicide bombers who killed 52 people in July 2005. Who say so? The BBC! According to BBC 2’s Newsnight £20,000 from Children in Need was handed over to the Leeds Community School, in Beeston, Yorkshire between 1999 and 2002. The school, which also received large sums … Continue reading
Despite the best efforts of Hamas to reduce the number of attacks on Israel (Surreal, I know but those are the BBC’s wordss) it seems the inhabitants in Gaza are still mired in their own excrement because…YES…. those pesky Jews refuse to allow spare sewage parts into Hamastan. I read this story DRIPPING in pro-Pali bias and wondered if al-Beeb has ever managed to file one report which is critical … Continue reading
I was looking at the BBC’s coverage of the US Presidential race and was ..ahem..surprised to see no coverage of the latest poll in the States giving McCain a 5 point lead over the Chosen One. Happily, the BBC’s poll still shows Obama in the lead. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I know I have commented on this before it but it does irritate me and so I draw your attention to the bizarre agenda pursued by BBC Northern Ireland, the arm of the BBC which thinks it is Irish, not British. The LEAD story this evening concerns the accidental death of a lady in the Irish Republic. Tragic certainly but in what way does this have ANY relevance to Northern … Continue reading

It seems that’s what Russia is doing- taking delight in the cluelessness of our “national” broadcaster. The BBC’s Helen Fawkes reports, apparently sans body armour, of a prisoner swap in Georgia. 15 Georgians are handed over in exchange for five Russians. She notes that there is a small Georgian protest and says: “One of the banners said: “Stop Russian aggression.” This surprised one of the soldiers. “They say we are … Continue reading
….Radio 5 live! I happened to catch this snivelling cabal of lefties led by Peter Allen on “Olympic Drive Time” debate whether we should be funding “elitist” rowing, sailing equestrianism since this disenfranchises third world nations. There were further sarcastic comments about “Eton” winning more gold medals than third world nations. Gosh, it’s SO unfair that British sport succeeds in all the wrong areas!

. I see the BBC delights in telling us that Israel is concerned about the number of violent attacks happening in Judea/Samaria (or “West Bank” in BBC talk). The attacks flagged up are being carried out by Jewish settlers. The BBC helpfully shows an accompanying still from the alleged video taken by a pro-Palestinian group Yesh Din to demonstrate just how vicious the Jews living in this area can be. … Continue reading
I was interested in the BBC headline “Brady attacks prison conditions.” The article articulates the concerns of child-killer Ian Brady who his complained of his treatment at Ashworth High Security Hospital, where he has been held since 1985. Only the views of the killer – including those on civil liberties of all things – are carried. What’s new? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
