Turkey is supposedly about to launch an offensive against Kurdish forces in Syria continuing its decades long assault on the Kurds, destroying hundreds of villages and killing 10’s of thousands of Kurds whom they consider terrorists. It will be interesting and possibly instructive how the BBC reports further such assaults on the Kurds, will they adopt a strictly neutral approach reporting the facts or will they become emotionally involved, … Continue reading
Quite extraordinary. You might think that Apple repatriating its huge overseas profits back to the USA and paying $38 billion in taxes, investing $350 billion over the next 5 years, employing an extra 20,000 and stating that Trump’s tax measures would increase employment and speed up the economy would make it onto the BBC news somewhere. But no, the website is Apple free….oh hold on….there’s a new story about … Continue reading

Douglas Murray lays into C4s Cathy Newman for her inept interview with Jordan Peterson. Although it is C4 the interview is pretty much symptomatic of so many interviews in the BBC…and C4 is just as lefty biased as the BBC anyway….we just aren’t forced to pay for it. Newman comes with a preset agenda that bears little relationship to what Peterson says and she compounds that by not … Continue reading
Laughed this morning as Sarah Montague got slapped down as she talked about French/British security relations. Apparently Brexit is damaging as a whole and it is inevitable that it will bring problems for our relationship with France and damage our security. The French spokeman said no, not true, you have to consider the facts and that it is not the relationship with the EU that is important but the … Continue reading
This retweet from Sopel pretty much sums up his and the BBC’s world view….as usual Sopel picks one that is about him….most of his tweets seem to be about him and his love affair with The Donald…. Have read three amazing books so far this year. How to Stop Brexit @nick_clegg (insightful and hopeful), If only they didn’t speak English @BBCJonSopel (insightful and funny) and Collusion @lukeharding1968 (insightful and … Continue reading
Just some perspective on the NHS crisis…..this all sounds very familiar…….and yet it’s in the US and not an apparently poverty stricken NHS…..patients in tents, store rooms, operations cancelled and ambulances unable to unload patients….. California hospitals face a ‘war zone’ of flu patients — and are setting up tents to treat them An influenza A strain known as H3N2 is making people so ill in California that thousands … Continue reading
Libby Purves asks what we have been asking for years now….just why does the BBC employ people at such exhorbitant rates when they could easily get someone to do the same job, just as competently or better, as a Humphrys or Vine at a vastly lower salary? The former Radio 4 presenter said that the corporation ‘clings on’ to stars including Graham Norton and Gary Lineker ‘like frightened toddlers … Continue reading
Radio bore @mrjamesob is a menacing threat https://t.co/bXA7tlFG2x — JOE.co.uk (@JOE_co_uk) January 17, 2018 The above Tweet is from the lefty Joe.co.uk which of course employs gobby Jobby…..and if you wish to be bored to death feel free to take a butchers at one of his interviews. The grey paint drying on the wall is more interesting. The Tweet is meant to be witty and ironic, ironic that it … Continue reading
Voice-over by Sky’s Julie Etchingham but policy confirmed by Tory MP Ben Bradley.… A Conservative MP has apologised for a 2012 blog post in which he suggested benefit claimants should have vasectomies. In the post Ben Bradley, made Tory vice-chairman for youth in last week’s reshuffle, hit out at what he called a “vast sea of unemployed wasters”. Did think it was in a way actual Tory policy … Continue reading
