Kelvin McKenzie got himself into a lot of trouble in recent times by writing an eminently sensible column on the utter crassness of Channel 4 using a Hijab wearing news presenter to cover the slaughter of 84 innocents by a Jihadist on the promenade in Nice. The BBC has picked up on this and is running with the notion this is somehow “hate speech” because a bunch of bed wetting … Continue reading →

The BBC really is wretched. In the past few days, Germany has been at the receiving end of two terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims. The BBC’s treatment of these attacks has appalled me. The Munich shopping centre massacre posed a few problems so initially the BBC postulated that the attacks was most likely carried out by some “far right neo Nazi” type, enraged about the wonderful multiculturalism Merkel has … Continue reading →

  Record breaking weather? Monthly Outlook Summary Some midsummer heat for a time – fresher later on We’re half way through summer now, and so far for most places, the summer has been fairly underwhelming, with temperatures around average, limited amounts of sunshine, and quite a bit of rain. However, as we head towards the end of the month, things are starting to feel much more summer-like with a dose … Continue reading →

      The BBC’s reaction to the shootings in Germany by Ali Sonboly is fascinating….they absolutely avoided any mention of early reports that suggested an Islamic angle to the killings but did publish reports that he shouted he was German and that he also shouted racist abuse…failing to tell people of the context and that he wasn’t shouting racist abuse against foreigners….the BBC immediately going for the interpretation that … Continue reading →

  Do any of the BBC’s Journo’s that get the plum job of reporting from the good ole US of A actually like America?  It seems doubtful. Katty Kay certainly has some reservations and Donald Trump is the lightning rod that draws her wrath.  Here she is slagging off the Trump and his supporters and declaiming their dislike for Clinton…all without a single mention of the siege that Clinton’s lefty … Continue reading →

  One of the occasional off-route adventures we leaven the blog with…. here’s something to distract from the present black days in Turkey:

    As with the axe attack in Germany the BBC is holding back on reporting eye-witness claims that the attacker shouted ‘Allah Akbar’….apparently, despite reports that ISIS have claimed the attack as one of theirs, the motive is still unclear. Remarkable how the BBC can hold back essential elements of a story…the Mail brings us the reality: ‘Boom boom boom – he’s killing the kids’: Iranian gunman, 18, shouting … Continue reading →

  The BBC is absolutely determined to blame all the ills of the world upon the Brexit vote. Today it descends to the gutter with a highly misleading claim in this report in which even the heading is politicised linking all hate crime to Brexit…. Hate crime ‘still far too high’ post-Brexit – police The opening paragraph is meant to deceive… More than 6,000 hate crimes have been reported to … Continue reading →

  Is Trump the only candidate for the Presidency?  Seems to be as Clinton rarely gets a mention on the BBC in comparison to Trump….Trump who is, according to Jim Naughtie, a joke, an idiot, and ego maniac…or possibly any number of other things which the BBC freely slanders him with such as he’s a crackpot, simplistic, phoney, a tragedy, a bar room blusterer…importantly though, serious, sensible and grown up … Continue reading →

From the Spectator… That Brexit apocalypse? It just isn’t happening   Mickey Clark on Wake up to Money this morning said that ‘People must be very confused.’ No, not the usual BBC snide dismissal of ‘The people’, the rather uneducated and stupid people who don’t do as they are told, but a comment on the fact that so far Brexit has not produced the much trumpeted meltdown…having said that the … Continue reading →
