Operation ‘Get Boris’, a long term BBC mission, moved into top gear yesterday as the state broadcaster did its level best to undermine and vilify our new Foreign Secretary around the world at a time when it should be fairly apparent that such toxic rhetoric is the last thing this country needs as it tries to break away from the EU straitjacket and heads out to do business with … Continue reading
After the BBC’s faux outrage at the killing of Jo Cox and its attempts to exploit her death by linking her murder to the Brexit campaign telling us that Leave’s rhetoric had whipped up a storm of hatred it seems odd that the BBC is now so silent about this…from the Telegraph… Half of the female shadow cabinet ministers who resigned over Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership have faced death threats or … Continue reading
Another Islamist attack in France and immediately you have the problem spelt out to you by those in charge….the problem is their own refusal to accept what the problem is….. ‘A tragic paradox’ European Council president Donald Tusk says it is a “tragic paradox” that the victims of the attack in Nice were celebrating “liberty, equality and fraternity” – France’s motto – on the country’s national day. No, it’s … Continue reading
Dylan Noble, white male, unarmed, shot by US police. The BBC doesn’t seem to have reported it at all…it’s on every other news outlet as the police video is released…just not on the BBC. The shooting is as controversial as any of the shootings of black men that the BBC fills the airwaves with. The difference of course is that the victim is white and therefore doesn’t provide … Continue reading
A brick is sent flying through the window of the challenger to Corbyn’s marxist mob-rule and what? Who’s to blame, why’d it happen? Is it of any importance? The BBC has decided that nobody knows who chucked the brick nor why. Not a clue. If it had been through the window of a Polish shop the BBC would know exactly who to blame, and why. Peter Allen just dismissed … Continue reading
The BBC likes to use a Chinese curse, ‘May you live in interesting times’, to describe the effects of the allegedly lamentable Brexit vote…personally I’d prefer another Chinese proverb….‘Out of chaos comes opportunity’. So far not much chaos other than in the Labour Party (if it still exists)…looks like the Brexiteers are getting some prime, influential, jobs….and what to make of May and Hammond? Both sceptics who, reluctantly?, plumped … Continue reading
A plea to the Tory Party….Please, please, please don’t release news of a highly significant and important nature at a time when the BBC’s main anchor on the radio is Adrian Chiles. This is the podcast of his reaction and analysis on hearing Andrea Leadsom quit the leadership race…….. What’s that Adrian? It’s so, sooo unfair that we don’t have a say in who is going to … Continue reading
What an utter insensitive b*****d that Andy Murray is….cold, heartless and calculating, doesn’t he have any feelings for those tennis players who don’t have kids…do they not also have a stake in succeeding in the tennis world as well? “The last thing I looked at before I went on court today was a picture of my daughter,” Murray said. “I feel like that’s what I’m playing for now, so … Continue reading
Isn’t there a danger of over-intellectualising? … Art challenges and it challenges the status quo, and if you’re left wing that’s what you do, and if you’re on the political right generally and you’re a conservative you like things as they are. Justin Webb, 8 November 2013 Justin Webb, presenter on the BBC’s flagship Today programme (which is broadcast on its premier station, Radio 4), put forward a highly controversial … Continue reading
This is already old news, but I thought I’d plonk the BBC coverage of the Referendum results above the parapet for all who would like a record of it in one prominent place. It’s from 10 pm on the 23rd till 1 pm on the 24th: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 I imagine the BBC found itself in quite a dilemma here: though yearning to express its … Continue reading
