The BBC teaching school kids how to recognise fake news….well I guess they are the experts. List the fake news you spot here……

To hear that the BBC will be sending teams of their own journalists into schools to teach children how to spot fake news is somewhat amusing if not just a little terrifying…it’s like sending Jimmy Savile into schools to teach the children how to spot a paedophile. It’s not difficult kids…if it has ‘BBC’ on it then it’s a good chance of being fake news. BBC to … Continue reading
The BBC live blog on the Jerusalem story is currently being run by Becky Branford (who is a revolutionary marxist) and Mal Siret. Yes, that’s the same Becky Branford who opposed Israeli plans in East Jerusalem, and the same Mal Siret who celebrated as “a stunning victory” the news that Jeremy Corbyn supported the Palestinian right of return. Two completely biased Pro-Palestine/Anti-Israel reporters. Typical of the BBC. Edit: Now they are also posting … Continue reading
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
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
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
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
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…..
Bamboozled by Brexit? Don’t worry, remainer Sofia Bettiza will “explain”. The video largely consists of people negatively affected by Brexit though, and doesn’t have time to explain much. Is she biased? Yes: Sofia Bettiza – “Britain, please don’t Vote Leave!”
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
