Macro Macron story

    May’s refusal to join the TV circus debate with the various other party leaders was the BBC’s top story for, well, forever just about.  It was big news. Contrast the story that the BBC’s latest hero, Macron, has refused to do a Q&A because his thought processes are too complex… “complex thought process lends itself badly to the game of question-and-answer with journalists” Frontpage news on the BBC?…or … Continue reading

Iron clad news

  So the BBC says it has discovered documents that show Grenfell Tower’s proposed cladding was changed from Zinc to aluminium…the BBC are sensationalising this and hyping the suggestion that this caused the fire disaster at the tower because the aluminium cladding was less fire retardant than the zinc…or was it? The BBC have given us three different versions of just how fire retardant the two claddings were…one is that … Continue reading

Holier than thou

  The blessed Frau Merkel has voted against same-sex marriage….but the BBC does not think she is backward and unpleasant as they do the DUP…in fact they think that ‘she will go down in history as the Chancellor who made it possible’ [to have same sex marriage]…despite voting against it.  Gotta love the BBC. Oh look…the DUP are against abortion, as are Sinn Fein and indeed most of Ireland…..and yet … Continue reading

That Big Shining Lie

    Islamic terrorism, radicalisation, extremism?  Nothing to do with Islam.  All to do with Western foreign policy and domestic issues such as Islamophobia, discrimination, marginalisation, joblessness, alienation and disaffection within the Muslim community. Newsnight should know better as it uses a Muslim journalist to tell us her thoughts on why people join ISIS.  Funnily enough she tells us it has nothing to do with her religion, it is all … Continue reading

That Old Productivity Puzzle

  The BBC has spent the last 7 years chuntering on about the ‘productivity puzzle’…it just couldn’t work out why British firms were so unproductive despite the answer being fairly obvious as employment zoomed on ever upwards and wages stagnated.  The BBC’s attack on productivity was of course part of its campaign against austerity which it wanted to blame for what it saw as economic sloth. so what is the … Continue reading

Make France Great Again!

      Odd how the BBC drools over Macron who roars out ‘Vive La Republique…Vive La France!!’  and yet scoff at and scorn Trump and his ‘Make America great again!’  Indeed odd that Macron himself had a dig at Trump’s call to arms. I guess others aren’t so sanguine about Macron in France….    

Once again the BBC damages Britain

  The BBC has set its hat at destroying Brexit and undermining the British side’s negotiations whilst promoting the EU’s but the BBC damages British interests and democracy in so many other ways, in particular by its arrogant presumption that it knows what is best for the country and that politicians must follow its prescriptions, or else.  Just one small example is how it treats the prospective Trump state visit … Continue reading

Anus Horriblis

  John Simpson, the Liberator of Kabul, has had a bad year, the worst of his life he tells us.  Not sure why after all terrorism has been worse under the IRA, the economy is purring along nicely whatever the BBC tells us, industrial strife is limited despite Corbyn and Co’s attempts to bring the country to a grinding halt and their ‘day of rage’ turned out to be a … Continue reading

Inflating Inflation

  The BBC is scaremongering hard about inflation and the dread ‘cost of living’ rise that we are supposedly suffering under #duetobrexit. Trouble is inflation is not much above the average and it’s been much higher as a standard in the past…   The average rate of inflation has been 2.58% since 1989…… Consumer prices in the United Kingdom increased 2.9 percent year-on-year in May of 2017, higher than 2.7 … Continue reading
