Seen this? The BBC should be protected by new laws that promote its shows over those of rivals, according to one of the corporation’s most senior executives. James Purnell, director of radio and education, says that the shows the BBC makes must be given more prominence in television guides than those of commercial services Sky, Amazon and Netflix. His demands follow a huge change in television viewing habits with more … Continue reading
From the Guardian… As Peter Wright confirmed in his book Spycatcher, [Prime Minister] Wilson was the victim of a protracted, illegal campaign of destabilisation by a rogue element in the security services. Prompted by CIA fears that Wilson was a Soviet agent – put in place after the KGB had, the spooks believed, poisoned Hugh Gaitskell, the previous Labour leader – these MI5 men burgled the homes of the prime … Continue reading
The Now Show, so yesterday, so bigoted, prejudiced, lazy, stereotyping, lame, cowardly. Only for very small-minded [in all senses] Guardian readers. Punt and Dennis give Alf Garnett a run for his money. It’s just unfortunate that the BBC clearly sees a long future for such drivel as they’ve recruited a new comedian, an 18 year old whose got cerebral palsy…I had thought his long anti-Trump rants were a … Continue reading
The BBC continues to portray Trump as mad, demented, crazed, bonkers, deluded, paranoid, insane, completely off his rocker…evidence? None…but he does want to keep out illegal immigrants and Muslim terrorists…so he must be mad…yeah?. However, Kim Jong-un, leader of North Korea, who has enemies killed in various ingenius and interesting ways, as well as starving his people into submission and wants to start a war with everyone… is apparently … Continue reading
BBC have landed themselves in it over this! “The BBC‘s Asian Network has provoked uproar by asking its Twitter followers ‘what is the right punishment for blasphemy?’ A video posted on its account shows Muslim activist Shazia Awan asking followers to get in touch and offer their opinions on how blasphemy should be dealt with. Her assumption that blasphemy – which is still punishable by death in some Muslim countries – should also be … Continue reading
A B-BBC reader gives us a historical update by the BBC… “I watched a program on BBC2 on the 14 march, “1066: A year to conquer England.” I was surprised to see that Robert de Beaumont (second in command to William the conquerer) was played by one Jotham Annan,who is a BLACK actor. Robert de Beaumont later became 1st Earl of Leicester, he was not black.’ Can’t say I am in the … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader writes “A few weeks ago BBC reported this story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38561883 about a black woman who was given a tiny tip along with a racist message that was scrolled on the receipt. She received widespread publicity, and a fund raising campaign was set up for her, with a few thousand dollars raised. It now turns out that the receipt may well have been faked, by herself. I asked BBC … Continue reading
Here you go, a new thread to see us all off into the weekend! Detail the bias here,
A nightmare, an absolute nightmare…how do people cope with the horrendous working conditions?….No, Not Sgt Blackman who served several operational tours each lasting 6 months in which he would have lived in extremely basic conditions, probably living off ration packs most of the time, no running water or toilets, sleeping in cramped, hot, dusty places with the constant threat of rockets or mortars, probably under fire every day, on … Continue reading
Sgt Blackman’s conviction for shooting a mortally wounded Taliban terrorist is reduced from murder to manslaughter…justice is served…the BBC’s reaction, as given to us by Tony Livesey a couple of minutes ago [around 17:30] on 5 Live, is that perhaps we should be giving some justice to the Taliban fighter. Blackman’s lawyer, Jonathan Goldberg, essentially, very politely, well, not really, told Livesey to fuck off and stick his political … Continue reading
