The BBC were caught out by the Uber story as 40,000 drivers were put out of work at the stroke of a pen and a highly successful and ‘popular’ company was potentially put out of business in London at the whim of the Mayor, Sadiq Khan…TFL would never have done this without Khan signing it off, this being such a huge and consequential attack on a private company of … Continue reading →

    China had its credit rating dropped by S&P in the last couple of days….the BBC barely mentioned it despite China being the driving force behind the world economy …however Moody’s has downgraded the UK’s rating and that was big news….’#duetobrexit’ of course. The irony is that Moody’s told the BBC that it had downgraded Britain’s rating because of a ‘looser fiscal framework’ being adopted….ie we are going to … Continue reading →

    One for the number crunching skills and meticulous record keeping of Craig at Is the BBC biased? Charles Moore on Any Questions got remoaner hackles up [audience heavily Remoaner, pro-BBC?  Judging by the extremely hostile response to Moore might suggest so] and Dimbleby on the defensive as he suggested the BBC coverage was biased and negative towards Brexit…the BBC more often than not adding ‘despite Brexit’ to any … Continue reading →

    The BBC has a little trick it likes to pull….invite in one of its luvvy friends from the Arts to discuss their work, but it’s all an excuse, a ruse, concocted to fill the airwaves with their views on whatever issue of the day the BBC wants an ‘independent’ and erudite celebrity voice to rubbish.  George Bush during the Iraq War was a long term victim of this … Continue reading →

  For months the BBC has been telling us that British consumers have been suffering a spending squeeze due to high inflation and low wages #duetobrexit.  Unfortunately for the BBC reality keeps on  mugging them as consumers defy the BBC’s ‘truth’ and keep on spending…however the BBC, whilst keen to promote the idea that Brexit has caused an alleged spending slowdown, isn’t so keen to make the reality widely known. … Continue reading →

Breitbart tells us that Muhammad, in all its spelling variations, is the most popular name in Britain right now, which should give pause for thought about the future. Muhammad is the top name for baby boys in the English regions of London and the West Midlands in 2016, and was the top scoring across the whole of England and Wales in the year when slight variations in spelling are taken … Continue reading →

    If I can put it to you, for someone like myself, it was in 1933, the year of my birth, that Hitler was democratically elected in Germany. He unleashed the most horrendous war. This country played a unique role in securing his defeat. ”So Germany lost the war. We’ve just handed them the opportunity to win the peace. I find that quite unacceptable.“   Michael Heseltine   The BBC … Continue reading →

Here we go, time for a new Open Thread! Detail the bias here please!

Why is there so much business bullshit around these days? https://t.co/aOUR0ijOVP — Margaret Heffernan (@M_Heffernan) September 13, 2017   The BBC have had to alter the way they report Boris’ article…previously every bulletin said he claimed that Brexit woud save us £350 million…now they have had to actually tell us what he really said…that we would take back control of, roughly, £350 million.  A completely different meaning to his words.  … Continue reading →

  ‘a frenzied race hate attack triggered by the Brexit vote’   Do we need a special inquiry into the BBC’s handling of Brexit?  It has consistently attacked every aspect of the process, promoting every utterance from Brussels as if they were the only viable and sensible options whilst ridiculing and denouncing everything that comes from the British side.  Not only that but a more sinister aspect of BBC reporting … Continue reading →
