The weekend approaches and so we need a new Open Thread to see us off into the wide blue yonder! Detail the hateful BIAS of the BBC here!
What world does Katty Kay live in? Her own little personal post-truth bubble presumably. Why did Trump sack Comey? Because Trump is a thin-skinnned, grumpy, crazy, old man. Is Trump’s thin skin getting in the way of his presidency? What if the Comey firing is nothing to do with the Russia probe or the Clinton email server but is actually just a result of the president’s thin-skinned character? And … Continue reading
Remember the BBC’s hyperbolic, apocalypic doom-mongering about ‘austerity’?… When you sit down and read the Office for Budget Responsibility report it reads like a book of doom. It is utterly terrifying, suggesting that spending will have to be hacked back to the levels of the 1930s as a proportion of GDP. That is an extraordinary concept, you’re back to the land of Road to Wigan Pier. “The scale of cuts … Continue reading
Kuenssberg has been pushing the idea that it is possible and morally acceptable to bin Brexit, to betray those who voted in the referendum to leave the EU….just vote Labour and seee your EU dreams come true!…what she misses, apart from the fact that such a move would indeed be a betrayal, not just of the voters but of democracy itself, is that most people, even Remain voters, now … Continue reading

Trouble is in all their reporting, on the radio at least, they missed out, funnily enough, the crucial fact that told the lie to their version of events….that Trump sacked Comey after he had misled Congress last week…the BBC were reporting he had been sacked … Continue reading
Someone has leaked the Corbynista manifesto…..or is it merely a photocopy of an old 1970’s one found in a bin somewhere? The Telegraph spells out the truly dramatic implications of Corbyn’s giant leap backwards… Leaked Labour’s General Election manifesto – their plan to take Britain back to the 1970s And… Labour has produced a fantasy-land blueprint for a socialist Britain The late Sir Gerald Kaufman famously dubbed the 1983 … Continue reading
The BBC loves fake news, so much so that it set up a special unit to hunt it down and expose those who create and exploit such deplorably misleading misinformation. The BBC also loves telling us that the government has stitched up secret deals with businesses to persuade them to stick with the UK after Brexit. When Nissan went away happy after a meeting with May the BBC spent … Continue reading
