As Jeremy Bowen tells us of the charismatic, legendary, young revolutionary freedom fighter that was Arafat who took on the ominous might of the Israeli oppressors, becoming the father of the Palestinian nation that genuine peacemakers would miss upon his death [a death possibly, probably, due to Israeli poisoning]…quickly brushing over Munich and all that, we can thank our lucky stars to have such a trustworthy, accurate and impartial … Continue reading →

Battle of Medway: The English defeat that’s largely forgotten Still relevant to our modern times. “The problem is that our naval history inevitably focuses on the wars we won and the great heroes who fought in them,” said historian Dr David Davies. “By any criterion, it’s one of the worst British defeats of all time. “Personally, I’d say it’s important to know about it in this country as an antidote … Continue reading →

Prime minister @theresa_may does a delayed Mexican wave. pic.twitter.com/kVQrPNdnpP — ITV Football (@itvfootball) June 13, 2017   Loved this instant comment….. Worried about losing her seat — Alick Cross (@alickc) June 13, 2017

    There was a story in the Sunday Times this week about a film that reported on the rise  of anti-Semitism in Europe and linked it to Muslim immigration [no way!] as well as neo-Nazism.  The film has naturally been axed in Germany by the Public Broadcaster [much as the BBC binned its film on the 7/7 bombers as it told the truth]…as told to us by Is the … Continue reading →

  Nick Robinson…clever chap eh?  Apparently Corbynmania is ‘religious fervour’, the Followers believe in the ‘good book’… Labour’s manifesto [yeah…made up fantastical drivel…..feeding the 5000 with a few loaves and a couple of small fish…. water into wine…very Corbyn-like] Corbyn is taking them to the ‘promised land’ [is Robinson taking the piss…..a man accused of anti-Semitism and Robinson gives us a Jewish iconic theme to explain him?]…he then calls him … Continue reading →

      Uncle ‘Joe’:  Listen kids…I’ll give you free tuition, pay off your debts, give you houses, great jobs and a super-model partner [colour of your choice] and all your dreams will come true…and the oldies will pay for it…do I get your vote guys? Young Hopefuls: Yey!!!!!!   Did Corbyn have ‘youth on his side’ as he claims?  The BBC certainly thinks so but you’d be hard pushed … Continue reading →

  All those lower than a snake’s belly once were somebody politicians have slithered out to variously betray or besmirch May and her union with the DUP. John Major and William Hague, not content with trying to derail Brexit, are now doing Sinn Fein’s work as they work the media with tales of terror and economic distaster in Northern Ireland should May join up with the DUP.  Reprising the same … Continue reading →

Another open thread, the BBC’s bias is relentless….all yours to lay it bare…..

  Marr is absolutely hopeless isn’t he?  Yet another interview with a Labour grandee, Corbyn, and it is red carpet treatment all the way with little in the way of demanding and probing questions…McDonnell was given a free ride and a very smug Corbyn couldn’t have got better treatment if he’d written the script himself. Corbyn told us he’d had a ‘brilliant manifesto‘….no comment from Marr despite the fact that … Continue reading →

Why did the all-powerful BBC refuse to tell the truth about Mr Corbyn? Theresa May surely has only herself to blame for the Tories’ appalling performance on Thursday. Even before the polls closed it was impossible to find a Conservative MP who thought she had run a good campaign. But there is another group of people who certainly made a contribution to the outcome and should be hanging their heads … Continue reading →
