Burnham was on the Today show this morning, admirably he refused to be drawn into making a political statement despite Mishal Husain trying to coerce him to do so.   However that’s where the good news ended as he went into a little rant about the bomber not being Muslim and that he didn’t represent the Muslim community.  Trouble is the bomber was a Muslim and his family was … Continue reading →

True to form, the BBC Today programme was busy this morning making it clear that the real danger from the Jihad bombing of Manchester arena is  — yes, Islamophobia. They had an interview with a Muslim teacher from a girl’s school (sic) who warned us that one of her pupils (in Islamic veil) had been…shouted at! Oh no. Never mind 22 dead kids and their parents – no, the REAL … Continue reading →

Mid week and a new Open Thread. Detail their bias here.

  It didn’t take long for the BBC to marshal the troops gathering together a veritable army of voices ready to spin us the usual platitudes and lies. The Today show rolled ’em out one after the other. There was Richard Barrett, ex-MI6, who told us we need to understand and engage with the Muslim community and understand what the intention was behind the attack….really?  After all this time we’re … Continue reading →

A probable terrorist attack in Manchester…if it turns out to be Islamic terrorism who ‘enabled’ them? Nicky Campbell & Co are at the scene and sounding very concerned, talking to relatives and locals, giving out phone numbers…how long before that turns to condemnation…of the security services, of British foreign policy…the bomber a victim of racism, marginalisation and Islamophobia?  Remember these guys are the new Churchills, Mandelas and Ghandis  (© Mark … Continue reading →

  A Labour Party shadow cabinet member tweets this fake image [h/t Guido]…I’m certain the BBC can spell compassionate even if Trickett can’t….. And the BBC has its own failure of judgement…..on the same subject….. BBC criticised for ‘shockingly insensitive’ Ian Brady playlist A local BBC station has come under fire for their lighthearted ‘guess who it is from the songs’ game – in which the answer was Moors murderer … Continue reading →

Interesting to observe the BBC swing in the breeze trying to santise Corbyn’s long association with IRA supporters. Yesterday, on Ridge on Sunday over on Sky, Corbyn was afforded FIVE opportunities to unequivocally condemn IRA terrorism. He refused and instead went on to talk about “loyalist bombs” and “British army murders”. The Cornbyn line repeated in this article the BBC published makes much of Corbyn’s alleged contribution to the Peace … Continue reading →

I was amused by the BBC running an item of how Gypsies might vote in the forthcoming General Election. It seems that Labour (natch!) has a policy in its manifesto aimed at “reaching out and helping them” so naturally the Today programme thought it was worth a punt to push this for Comrade Corbyn. But what struck me was the way the BBC framed the point when highlighting the problems … Continue reading →

I see the BBC is out to punish those who post views it does not like. The BBC is threatening to report users to their bosses if they leave ‘offensive’ comments on one of the corporation’s websites, it has been revealed. Its privacy policy has sparked a furious backlash online with the broadcaster branded ‘Orwellian’ and accused of ‘blackmail’. The draconian document warns that if the corporation deems a comment to … Continue reading →

I was interested to see the BBC afford Brendan Cox, the husband of murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, the media time to push his “time for remembrance” agenda yesterday on the Marr programme and then throughout the day. Marr expressed his best wishes to the campaign being pushed by Cox.  Today marks the anniversary of the savage murder of Lee Rigby. The BBC makes no mention of it and no … Continue reading →
