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the BBC’s last desperate resorts to win the EU referendum was to claim that ‘science’ would suffer as ‘EU’ funding was withdrawn.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 →

Emma Barnett…if I was getting paid for this I’d be rolling in it as long as she’s on air.  What a star.  Today’s speciality?  Women MPs, in particular, are under attack….ala Jo Cox…and new recruits are being frightened off.  Well, might suggest alarmist and false claims by the likes of Barnett won’t help.  She told us that one woman was considering taking up the cudgel as an MP but had … Continue reading →

  You can see LibDem leader Farron getting a roasting from Andrew Neil in the video above over his lies about the Brexit referendum which he claims does not give a mandate to leave the Single Market…despite it being absolutely clear, and made so by politicans on both sides of the referendum again and again, that to vote to leave the EU was a vote to leave the Single Market. … Continue reading →

“The notion that religious belief is a minor factor in the rise of the Islamic State,” he observes, “is belied by a crushing weight of evidence that religion matters deeply to the vast majority of those who have travelled to fight.” The BBC’s narrative about Islamic terrorism and its intentions [the terrorism has a purpose] is distorted by its own beliefs and political agenda…it is the standard bearer for the … Continue reading →

We are warned today that over-cooked potatoes are dangerous to our health, however what they don’t warn us about are the threats posed to our democracy by the half-baked thoughts of half-witted BBC presenters. Just heard Douglas Caerswell talking to Adrian Chiles suggesting that though we should respect this judgement it clearly indicates that if judges are to make such political decisions then perhaps they should be appointed in a … Continue reading →
