They don’t offer opinions…just verdicts

BBC News itself is impartial and does not offer opinions How then can they have an article which is entitled Prime Minister’s Questions: The verdict, featuring videos of BBC presenters giving their opinions verdicts? "It was a time for forensic questioning" says @afneil on #pmqs but Mr Corbyn gave "a series of rather short speeches, a couple of which did not ended in any kind of question at all" #bbcdp pic.twitter.com/ZXj9kbBNJo … Continue reading

Invasion!

I’m thoroughly disgusted that the BBC’s idea of education and entertainment almost always includes an underlying political element. The latest attempt is Invasion! with Sam Willis which combats “the idea that we Britons are somehow unique”; they barely try to hide the support for mass immigration here. The argument is basically: “Britain historically had a lot of immigration, so you shouldn’t oppose further immigration” which is about as valid an … Continue reading

Prevent

    The BBC has stated in its news bulletins that the Manchester bomb attack could have been stopped.  In the web report they quote from a report saying that the attack coud have been stopped if… “the cards fallen differently.” Could MI5 have stopped 2017’s attacks? A major review of whether MI5 could have stopped any of 2017’s terrorism attacks has revealed details of opportunities that, had they been … Continue reading

DUPed

  You have to wonder about May, is she incredibly stupid, incredibly devious or both?  How is it possible that she could ever conceive that the DUP [or any sensible UK citizen] would accept Northern Ireland being annexed by the EU?  How could she not realise that such an agreement would also fire up the SNP, and the devious little chancer Khan, the end result being the complete disintegration of … Continue reading

Start the week open thread

  The BBC were ecstatic yesterday as it thought Brexit was broken by May’s double dealing….getting a bit shriller today as the Remain joy is dashed….ironically by the BBC’s own reporting of the slippery concession May made to the IRA. Lots to talk about I’m sure…list it all here…..  

Guess the BBC headline

President Donald Trump has dramatically scaled back two public outdoor parks, or national monuments, in Utah. The policy is likely to provoke lawsuits from Native American tribes and environmental groups. But it will be welcomed by ranchers and business interests who view such monuments as federal land grabs. Now guess the headline: 1. Anger as Trump shrinks Utah Monuments 2. Trump’s shrinking of Utah Monuments is welcomed 3. Mixed reaction … Continue reading

Mosqow

  Who knew?  Andrew Marr told us this morning that Moscow is ‘one of the great Muslim cities of Europe’ and that Russia has a ‘very, very powerful Muslim identity’. Really?  Muslims make up 14% of Moscow’s population and just over 10% of the population nationally….88% of the population of Russia is Christian….maybe Marr thinks that cathedral in Red Square is a mosque. The BBC is outraged that Trump Retweets … Continue reading

Hispanic lives don’t matter to the BBC

  Where is the BBC outrage and claims of police brutality and racism?  Is it because the ‘victim’ is a distinct hue of white and has an Hispanic name rather than being black? Can’t see the slightest mention on the BBC website….why the lack of interest from a BBC that is usually so intent on starting a race war?  How many white police officers were killed because #blacklivesmatter and the … Continue reading
