“This is a burning building you are never meant to leave. What is more, you are barricaded in.”  William Hague December 2016   Trust…always been a bit of a problem with politicians…and journalists…nothing new about the ‘post-fact’ age except the fancy new name….’post-fact’ being a lie in itself ironically. Wiliam Hague…a man who made a career out of Euroscepticism, who then jumped ship and announced he was voting to Remain … Continue reading →

  Hah…even the lefty Gene at Harry’s Place is cheerleading Trump as he tackles corporate greed…. “I don’t want them moving out of the country without consequences,” Mr. Trump said, even if that means angering the free-market-oriented Republicans he beat in the primaries but will have to work with on Capitol Hill. “The free market has been sorting it out and America’s been losing,” Mr. Pence added, as Mr. Trump … Continue reading →

A review into Muslim integration, lack of, was under discussion….you might praise the BBC for broaching the subject.  Or not.  Who did they get on to tell us why the review was so wrong?  MPACUK.  MPACUK that many in the know say is an anti-semitic, pro-Jihad Islamist group that has very little support, if any, amongst Muslims.  The BBC seems to have a love of the wrong uns….the MCB for … Continue reading →

    The new, and laughable, narrative from the Establishment anti-Brexit cabal is that they are now the insurgents…that’s right…all those senior politicians, the most powerful media organisations, billionaires, lawyers and academics….the new insurgents.  All routed it might be said by one bloke with a pint pot, a fag and a great disrespect for that unruly mob of the High and Mighty. I might also suggest that rather than being … Continue reading →

OK folks, a new week dawns and a new Open Thread on which to detail the bias! Over to you!

The weekend beckons and so does this NEW Open Thread. Please detail the BIAS here! The floor is yours…

          ‘The Guardian has admitted that a rogue reporter fabricated interviews in articles for the newspaper and falsely claimed to have been present at events he wrote about. Joseph Mayton, a freelance who has been writing for the Guardian since 2009, has been accused of making up quotes in some of his stories, even filing interviews with people who later said they had never spoken to him.’ … Continue reading →

Another day and another sneak attack on our consciences trying to make us think of the terrible plight of refugees, to open our hearts and open the borders. The Tarpaulin…A biography Historian Dina Gusejnova tells the story of tarpaulin from 17th century mariners to today’s refugee camps and those living on the periphery of society. In the process, Dina shines a light on statelessness, protest, heroism and transgression. The tarpaulin … Continue reading →

  Listening to R4 this morning and a programme about Jewish humour [not Muslim humour?  Wonder why] and the presenter came up with a joke…the punchline of which was ‘Why would I tell you I’m Jewish when I’m surrounded by all these well armed Christians?’  The presenter no doubt rather smugly thought she was being very right-on, edgy and telling it as it is….except of course that’s just not what … Continue reading →

    I think we’ve all seen how the BBC has reacted to the death of Castro, with reverence, regret and rank hypocrisy.  How different was the BBC’s reaction on the death of Margaret Thatcher, or indeed to the life of Donald Trump…Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize before he’d set foot in the White House just about, yesterday the BBC was telling us Trump was about to cause … Continue reading →
