Per person spending on health care in 2016, a comparison: The US: $9,364 The UK: $4,094 https://t.co/JCHNisFqT9 #HealthSpending pic.twitter.com/EQwHg94FPs — Commonwealth Fund (@commonwealthfnd) July 17, 2017     Over the past week I’ve heard on the BBC that the NHS is failing and that we are lagging desperately behind the rest of the world…hmmm…what I hadn’t heard were the results of the latest Commonwealth Fund survey on health systems from … Continue reading →

      On Friday R4 broadcast Labour’s manifesto pledges on the NHS but in a comic voice…though why I don’t know as it was pretty comic to begin with.  I thank you! ‘Polyoaks’, written by a doctor, Phil Hammond, described by the Guardian as “One of the most entertainingly subversive people on the planet.”, was a scathingly political blast on behalf of the NHS….I’m guessing Dr Hammond doesn’t think the … Continue reading →

  Jonathan Freedland and the BBC like to use historical events to understand and inform the present….using their own interpretation naturally.  This week we were treated to a comparison of a fire in Glasgow to the one at Grenfell Tower.…Freedland told us this was a story about those with power and those with too little….in other words we don’t actually neeed an inquiry because Freedland has already passed judgement…it was … Continue reading →

  Vine: “I’m there as having a salary of between £700,000 and £750,000. How do you justify that?” Purnell: “You’re fantastic…”   Tim Vine had the world’s funniest one-liner but his brother, apparently on £80 grand for a one night stand, has prompted the BBC to come up wth their own hilarious killer one-liner…because he’s worth it… “His experience of political, live and overseas reporting means he is also important as a … Continue reading →

Here’s a great post over on The Shy Society….make sure you read it in full. “The BBC is routinely accused of bias from the left and the right – therefore it must actually be pretty centrist,” is the line you often hear. This is a lazy argument and one which we will return to shortly. But let’s just say for a minute that the statement was true and the BBC … Continue reading →

Here you go, a brand new Open Thread to see us off into the weekend. Please detail the egregious bias here!

That the strangle-hold which the middle-class liberal elite have over our culture and society — without having anything close to hegemony — will be tightened still further, and their [right-wingers] views marginalised or even criminalised. And the excuse given will be they are trying to stop us being blown up, or stabbed to death on London Bridge. That’s my worry too — that in order to placate the sensitivities of … Continue reading →
