Trump must fall!!!

  The BBC still bashing Trump….yesterday Today wheeled in an Obama official to get her opinion on Trump [08:40]… At least eight people have been killed and 11 seriously hurt in New York after the driver of a truck mowed down people on a cycle path in Lower Manhattan. Juliette Kayyem is former US assistant secretary of Homeland Security. John Humphrys asked her what she thought of Trump’s reaction to … Continue reading

Open Thread Friday

  Mishal Husain called the Israeli ‘Wall’ a ‘security barrier’ [08:35] and accused Palestinians of killing Israeli civilians….men, women and children…..shocked outrage from the Palestinian being interviewed.  Maybe if the BBC had adopted such a more two-sided and balanced approach in all its reporting about Israel the peace might have been given more of a chance as the Palestinians weren’t given licence to attack the Israeli ‘oppressors’…so long so labelled … Continue reading

‘This is my country, too’

  Whilst the BBC doesn’t like to report anything that might indicate a terror attack was Islamic in nature, avoiding eye-witness reports and other news sources’ informed speculation until forced to do so, it is happy to casually assert Brexit causes Islamophobia. This is my country, too This year has seen a spike in anti-Muslim hate crimes, and a new survey shows women are suffering the most – so what’s … Continue reading

Slow Mo BBC Reporting

MORE: Suspect reported to have screamed "Allahu Akbar," a key reason authorities looking at terrorism as possible motive, sources tell @ABC. — ABC News (@ABC) October 31, 2017   Another savage attack by what appears to be a Muslim terrorist named Sayfullo Saipov, apparently from Uzbekistan and who shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ according to witnesses….ABC says it is a ‘key reason’ authorities suspect terrorism.  Why would the BBC miss out a … Continue reading

Straws

  The BBC are desperately clutching at straws as their big hope to take down Trump, the case against Paul Manafort, looks like it is unconnected with Trump and the Russians at present….all to do with previous, pre-Trump dealings with Ukrainians.  So the BBC moves rapidly on to another Trump advisor and now pronounce that…. This may be the real blockbuster Initial headlines on Monday morning were about Paul Manafort’s … Continue reading

Withnail and #MeToo

        Sex and the city, politics, showbiz….office romances and unwanted advances, wanted advances…..have we just woken up in the 16th century Puritan England or something?  Why all the shock and amazement?  Did nobody really know all of this went on?  Boris Becker shagging in a restaurant broom cupboard and Prezza doing it just about anywhere with his secretary…..     In 2014 we had this from the … Continue reading

Running for Gover

  Michael Gove has disappointed as he apologises for his joke on R4….but he does a useful job of illustrating the biggest problem we have…the pathetic grovelling of our politicians, businessmen, and commentators to the Liberal, left-wing tyranny that dictates what we can say, think and do.  The all-too-ready willingness to apologise when the Twitterati mobilise and the BBC and Guardian report this as ‘wide-spread disapproval’, the willingness to discard … Continue reading

You must not read this

  Just a reminder of the BBC’s Inquisition-like tendencies in regard to climate change or indeed any right-wing person who dares to speak against the Orthodoxy…..and how ready it is to apologise to those who object to anyone being given a platform on the BBC who might wish to do so. You may recall that the BBC Trust stated that ‘The programme would not be repeated in any form.’ Hmmmm…OK…so … Continue reading
