Nothing to do with BBC bias but just of interest after the last post about the BBC’s hagiography of Saint Blair…the New Statesmen has its own go at running the rule over Cool Britannia and the Blair bewitched project…it’s from a music writer’s perspective, John Harris from the Guardian….Cool Britannia: where did it all go wrong? This is the most telling bit…those rebellious young Turks just wanted their dad … Continue reading
Always amazed that people think Blair was ‘right-wing’….the BBC likes to peddle that message… The voting public might have bought into New Labour’s blend of Thatcherite free market economics and social justice, but it never had very deep roots in the Labour Party itself. It was the product of a tight-knit group headed by Blair, Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson and media chief Alastair Campbell. But he was if anything … Continue reading
Remarkable how sanguine the BBC is about the extraordinary bully-boy tactics of the EU as they come out with ever more draconian demands and aggressive and insulting language. Watching BBC interviews with EU apparatchiks the reporters so often nod along agreeably as the Eurocrats lay into May and Brexit and set out the EU’s very onerous terms, the reporters often seeming to side with the Eurocrats as the journo’s … Continue reading
A bit of blatant anti-May politicking from the BBC as it targets her ‘strong and stable’ government…not once but twice…and no doubt many other times and place as well…it’s not a virtue to be strong and stable…the BBC trying to undermine a Tory election position?… ‘Strong and stable’ – Why politicians keep repeating themselves As the general election approaches, MPs start to repeat themselves. Over and over again. In … Continue reading
Tim Farron has claimed, to much incredularity[BBC aside…no reaction from Marr], that he is a ‘bit of a Eurosceptic’….because in 2008 he resigned from the LibDem frontbench when Clegg demanded they abstain from voting on a referendum on the EU Lisbon Treaty…the BBC puts it up in lights… Tim Farron says ‘I’m a bit of a Eurosceptic’ …not sure why as the main thing of any import he said … Continue reading
Ist May and a whole new month of BIAS from the BBC to highlight! The floor is yours!!!
“You can either wage Jihad by the tongue and by the mouth – that is ideological jihad – or by the hand and the sword. Those are the official categories of jihad…..And jihad by the hand and the sword can be done here in France [& the UK] with cars and knives.” BBC This is a post just to remind ourselves, and to inform the next post, about … Continue reading
Trump did a wide-ranging interview with the Associated Press which discussed his first 100 days as President….it was quite clear, lucid and coherent, no doubt as to what he was saying…it all made sense though admittedly the 9/11 comment was always going to be a hostage to fortune. However there were several occasions when the interview has been marked ‘unintelligible’ where whatever Trump has said cannot be made out … Continue reading
Trump’s reached his century and of course they all hate him for it. Why hasn’t he been assassinated yet? The BBC has been filling the airwaves with a relentless barrage of anti-Trump sneering and mockery, what’s new?, on Friday we had Malcolm Rifkind deriding Trump and telling us how dangerous he is to the world whilst going on to boast about how wonderful Malcolm Rifkind is because he stopped … Continue reading
The BBC’s News Quiz mocked Ivanka Trump for being booed and jeered at a G20 women’s summit in Berlin as she defended her father’s attitude towards women, the same claim was made on Any Questions…..and on BBC News…. Ivanka Trump booed at women’s summit Trouble is that’s completely untrue…there may have been a few groans but no booing or jeering as the BBC suggests….which is odd really as the … Continue reading
