. Well, I appeared on BBC NI “Nolan Show” yesterday to discuss the US Presidential visit. I was there as a lone voice supporting the war on terror (Islam) and offering a warm welcome to the elected leader of the United States. I was up against the leader of the “anti-war” protesters – a wacko who considers President Bush a war criminal and referred to US military as “occupying forces” … Continue reading
Lord David Ramsbotham – three words that strike fear into the heart of anyone concerned about the criminal justice system.. You see Sir David is the kind of guy who thinks a criminal is just a friend you haven’t met yet and he was on the BBC this morning pleading for government to spend more of our taxes creating a to back a network of young offender “academies”. The aim … Continue reading
It’s quite amazing that at a moment when the Eurocrats have been thrown into crisis thanks to the actions of our friends the Irish, and when the NuLabour junta seek to remove even more of our hard won liberties through the imposition of the 42 Day Detention Bill, Conservative leader David Cameron takes the opportunity to insist that his “green agenda” is still his pressing concern. As you can imagine, … Continue reading
. If you want a laugh, I suggest you read these comments on the BBC “Have your Say” page concerning the imminent arrival of US President Bush to the UK tomorrow. I particularly enjoyed Muhammad (sic) Adam’s comment that “Bush is the world’s biggest terrorist and murderer. He should not be allowed into the UK. His presence in this pure land violates its sanctity. Bush has not done anything good … Continue reading
Further to David’s post, this from Guido Fawkes : When the result came in yesterday Mark Mardell looked shocked and sounded exasperated. The BBC has continually been running this line in its reporting of Ireland’s historic vote on the Lisbon Treaty: “Just over three million Irish voters are registered – in a European Union of 490 million people.” The implication is clear. Those beastly Paddies are depriving everyone else in … Continue reading

Well now – what a turn up. The Irish have refused to be led by the nose and follow the advice of all the main political parties, big business and trade unions, and said NO to the Lisbon Treaty. The BBC coverage on this should be most interesting – just listen to the tonality of it (as the late unlamented Hillhunt would have suggested). I was reading Mark Mardell’s take … Continue reading
There is a particular line which Gordon Brown’s PR people via the BBC have been relentlessly spinning since yesterday’s Commons vote that I wanted to comment on. The BBC have been playing Gordon Brown’s comment that to suggest a shoddy deal was done with the DUP MP’s – the notorious nine – impugns the integrity of a party that has more experience than most of dealing with terrorism. The use … Continue reading
Amazed to listen to a five minute item on Today on “Honour Killings”in the UK – including a supine interview with the oleaginous Keith Vaz – and not hear the words Muslim or Islam mentioned once. Instead we were merely invited to consider that some cultures and groups had an issue with this matter, though it is “sensitive” matter. What rot. Let’s say what the BBC won’t say; the repulsive … Continue reading
It’s not JUST the BBC, but rather the overwhelmingly majority of the UK msm that has little connect to the hopes and fears of real people. A quick glance at the newspaper headlines this morning, a listen to the BBC, and it’s the same story – namely that David Davis has been selfish and misguided to take a political stand on the issue of the erosion of our liberty under … Continue reading
