Stewgreen links us to Melanie Phillips’ article on how the Media treats Trump and she links to a CNN interactive photo of the crowd at trump’s inauguration….which shows us that the crowd was much bigger than the likes of the BBC want us to know. Obama’s inauguration was always going to be massive due to the historic nature of him being the first black President…and, as with Bill … Continue reading →

  So people are sceptical about climate change…what to do?  How about cooking the books, sensationalising the figures, moving the goalposts and lying. The gap between what the climate lobby has marked as the start of global warming and temperatures now is too small and insignificant?  Then move the start point to where the temperature was much colder….voila…a much higher apparent increase in temperature and hence more alarm, more urgency…more … Continue reading →

    Getting quite a collection of BBC invective that is used to describe President Trump. We’ve had the racist, bigot, misogynist, Islamophobe and now he’s in office we get a whole new tranche of inventive invective….. …He’s Goebbels spreading lies and discontent …He’s a climate change denier [who wants to ‘open a war on knowledge’…so again so very Nazi…ala book burning] ….He’s malevolent ….He’s deranged ….He’s is of course … Continue reading →

Theresa May is stepping into a hornet’s nest today, a White House at the heart of rows about policy, truth, falsehood and the aggressive vituperative style of so much American political debate. Today’s Justin Webb reports. Terrible, just terrible.  We’re in the Era of Trump and we have a growing mentality that is isolationist, hostile to ‘The Other’, intent on putting up walls to protect your own and willing to … Continue reading →

  One of the BBC’s last desperate resorts to win the EU referendum was to claim that ‘science’ would suffer as ‘EU’ funding was withdrawn.  Curiously this was ‘EU funding’ whilst at the same time the BBC was arguing hard that EU funding was in fact British money anyway, re £350 million, and not really money sent to the evil Brussels. Naturally that was nonsense…funding and investment for science would … Continue reading →

  We haven’t down any climate change for a while, taken over by Trump and Brexit as we have been….but here goes…the BBC’s take on Trump’s climate change policies…… Are the recent actions taken by the Trump team on the issues of climate and energy the opening shots in a war on knowledge? So are all these moves evidence of a malevolent mindset, determined to crush all this snowflake climate … Continue reading →

  Whilst the BBC cheerfully explains away the murder of Jews in Europe by Muslims as justifiable because of what the BBC considers Israel’s ‘war crimes’ in Gaza it reacts with horror, and dishonesty, to Trump’s statement that he thinks waterboarding works and can be justified. The BBC started the day with a brief moment of honesty as it reported that Trump said he would defer to his security and … Continue reading →

  The BBC is upset…Trump thinks illegal immigrants may have voted in the election….The BBC has mobilised its ‘Reality Check’ team to counter Trump’s lies… Donald Trump and his team have referred to two studies they say show the threat posed by unauthorised voting; both have been challenged. A 2014 study published in Electoral Studies found evidence that suggested non-citizens do vote and “can change the outcome of close races”. … Continue reading →

  Shortly before Sid Miller was sworn into office, the newly elected Texas agriculture chief was asked at a conservative policy forum what keeps him up at night. “Bad Mexican food,” he said. Then, after allowing a few moments for laughter:  “Actually, I sleep pretty well, but I do have some long-range concerns as I hold those two grandbabies on my lap, and I happen to wonder: When they have … Continue reading →
