Had to laugh this morning as the Today programme discussed the important topic of fussy eating in children and after an indepth discussion of chicken disguised as apple the presenter suddenly turned to one of the contributors, Annabel Karmel, who runs a children’s food company, and completely at random and off topic suddenly asked her if her company was being destroyed by Brexit and the drop in the pound….well…not … Continue reading →

And as the weekend beckons, here is a new Open Thread to take us all off into the wide blue yonder. Detail the bias here.

We’ll mock Jesus but not Mohammed, says BBC boss   Gymnast Louis Smith is being intimidated, bullied and made the subject of serious hate crimes as Muslims make death threats to him every day and the BBC decides it is appropriate to join in and suggest he is racist and ‘Islamophobic’. In an interview with Emma Barnett on 5Live he was hung out to dry.  When asked if he was … Continue reading →

Con Coughlin in the Telegraph tells us… If anyone is to blame for the appalling suffering of Aleppo, it is the Stop The War Coalition. For its relentless propaganda campaign – and downright lies – relating to the recent military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan has achieved its goal of turning public opinion and parliament against initiating any further military interventions.

  The BBC notes all is not well in Sweden…but who is to blame? How Sweden became an exporter of jihad Sweden is a peaceful democratic state that has long been a safe haven for those fleeing conflict. Yet many young people whose families took refuge there are now turning their back on the country. More than 300 people have gone to fight in Syria and Iraq, making Sweden per … Continue reading →

            The Today programme interviewed the former head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, today. What is the only thing of interest the website has taken from that interview and indeed the Today programme itself as it headlines the interview…Ex-MI6 boss rebuffs Johnson demo call…?  That Sawers criticises Boris Johnson for suggesting people protest outside of the Russian embassy about Syria. He’d be better having them … Continue reading →

If there is anything worse in the world than the BBC it is Ofcom, which seeks to help regulate the BBC! I was talking to James Whale about this story last night… The BBC is “falling short” on serving older women and minority communities, the head of Ofcom has said. Media watchdog chief Sharon White said the corporation is “not doing as good a job as it should be” in these … Continue reading →
