Wonder what you make of the news that families of those killed in the 7/7 suicide bombings in London have launched a bitter attack on the BBC yesterday for paying expenses to a disgraced academic who believes the atrocities may have been an intelligence agency conspiracy? At one point, Nicholas Kollerstrom telephoned the father of one victim to discuss whether his daughter’s body had been planted at the site of … Continue reading
. Do you recall us discussing the BBC sneering at ITV’s X-Factor panelist Sharon Osbourne’s decision to leave that programme because her extortionate financial requests were not being granted a few days ago? So, can you guess where Sharon is going? That’s right – the BBC. It’s reported that Osbourne is being lined up to be a contestant on BBC’s “Strictly Come Dancing”.

It’s been a long day – having spent it in a sunny Dublin. Bumped into Andrew Neil who was over with his team covering the Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty aka EU Constitution. On the way home, I tuned in to the PM programme on the BBC to catch their very special coverage of the Irish referendum. (Around 5.25pm) It’s pretty clear to just about everybody that the result … Continue reading
I listened to an item on BBC Radio 4 “Today” this morning just before 7am concerning how government is allegedly failing those MILLIONS of British children are living “in poverty” All the cliches were trotted out and for good effect the couple that the BBC interviewed – Elvis and Alex – even had one partner working but alas Elvis was on minimum wage. At no point did the BBC explain … Continue reading
And so the sad landmark of 100 British soldiers killed in Afghanistan is reached and it provides the BBC with yet another opportunity to undermine the morale of our Armed Forces. Soldiers from 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, were on foot patrol in Helmand Province when a scumbag Jihadist detonated himself. The blast killed three of our boys. Instead of examining what sort of deranged mindset encourages these homicide-bombers (Islam) … Continue reading
I see that the BBC has given great prominence this morning to a report by Britain’s obnoxious “Children’s Commissioners” which essentially argues that the UK is demonising children. This is the left wing ratchet-mechanism in play. Labour appoints four sopping wet liberals to head up these unelected quangos, the liberals then use our taxes to produce predictable self-loathing reports and a “caring” Government then responds by agreeing to consider implementing … Continue reading
Even the left-wing Independent reports that 25 years after after the outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic does not exist. In the first official admission that the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations was profoundly flawed Kevin de Cock (His real name, honest!), the head of the WHO’s department of HIV/Aids said there will be … Continue reading
I note that an Afghan journalist working for the BBC in the country’s southern Helmand province has been found shot dead. Abdul Samad Rohani had been abducted on Saturday and his body was found on Sunday afternoon in Lashkar Gah. As I mention on another thread, this brutal murder is to be condemned. It is wrong and just because the guy concerned was working for the BBC does not in … Continue reading
The BBC have been extremely pleased to report the end of the monarchy in Nepal. I almost posted on this general theme before, but today’s article struck me as too nauseating to pass up. Quite a lot rests on the link leading to the article- it is advertised as one of those “funny stories” the BBC uses to drum up traffic. However I was disturbed by the link line “Smelly … Continue reading
