A DYMOND GEEZER!

What rotten luck. Another BBC journalist has been caught trying to board a plane to London with cannabis in his suitcase! This time round, it’s Jonny Dymond. Happily, even though he was arrested and fined, the Beeb won’t be taking any action since the incident happened “in his own time”. (As opposed to him taking it live on camera?) I’m sure you remember that another BBC presenter, Radio One DJ … Continue reading

THE JERUSALEM “INCIDENT”.

I just saw this story and like most others, I am shocked at this wicked act of murder that has taken place at a Jewish seminary in west Jerusalem. However from this poorly written (or is it?) BBC story you would struggle to even see this as an act of premeditated murder. Consider the language – the culprits were “gunmen” apparently. No they weren’t – they were dedicated Palestinian terrorists … Continue reading

CRYING FOR GAZA.

Tuning into Radio 4 “Today” programme, I thought I had accidentally come across the Gaza Broadcasting Corporation. Around 7.45am, the BBC ran an item on a doctor working in Gaza, who also runs a blog, highlighting just how awful it all is for Palestinians living under Israeli “occupation.” She was give free rein to undermine Israel and the best that the BBC interviewer could come up with was the suggestion … Continue reading

IRAN IS WINNING

Here’s a fascinating insight into Beeboid thinking concerning Iran. The headline announces that “Iran claiming victory despite sanctions” and it covers the Mullahs response to the effete sanctions, passed by the UN Security Council on Monday, which extend the two previous ineffectual tranches of sanctions aimed at tightening the economic and trade squeeze on Iran. The BBC asks Mark Fitzpatrick, a nuclear proliferation expert at the International Institute for Strategic … Continue reading

OFF THE RAILS

. The BBC is a prime cheerleader for those who seek to use “climate change” as a convenient excuse for limiting our freedoms. I notice it carries a glowing report this evening suggesting that the UK needs a “modal shift” from road to rail if greenhouse gas emissions from transport are to be curbed. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) says changes are needed to government policies on transport pricing, … Continue reading

NOT LEAVING ON AN (IRISH) JETPLANE

 As I write this, there is a bomb scare at Belfast International Airport. The fruits of peace, I guess. The BBC on their main news portal for Northern Ireland choose to illustrate this with an image of two Irish airlines, one of which does not even fly into Belfast International! Could it be that the BBC think Belfast is in Dublin? The following arlines also fly from Belfast International; Easyjet, … Continue reading

Israel is “confounded”!

The BBC has now gone into full-on admiration for Gaza’s “rocketeers” – check out this gushing headline. No hint of bias there, eh? There are several remarkable aspects to this latest report from Al-Beeb. For instance, can anyone explain what is the actual difference between Hamas and the “Palestinian fighters” who are apparently “feeling the pain” of the bad Israelis attack? Who are these mysterious “fighters” – given that Hamas … Continue reading

The war on the Jews.

Gotta love the BBC – it remains consistent in its pro-Palestinian reporting at all times! Take the news that “Israeli forces have carried out further attacks on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 26 Palestinians.” Three points here;1. Who says that 26 people have been killed? Oh yes, Hamas. And they would never lie, right?2. Why did the Israelis launch these counter-attacks on Gaza? Oh yes, because of the HUNDREDS … Continue reading
