VERGING ON GLEE…

Here’s an excellent take on the BBC’s coverage of the Hillsborough Inquest. “Strange ‘bunch’ our old chums at the BBC. Having ignored South Yorkshire police’s many failings with regards to the Muslim paedophile grooming gangs in Rotherham, in the light of the Hillsborough inquest, they are now vilifying the force with something verging on glee. For well over a decade, if you recall, South Yorks constabulary (and others) covered up … Continue reading

ALL SOUND AND FURY….

Here’s an interesting comment from one of our regular readers; “EU all sound bites and slogans but no facts. When will the BBC and other media outlets start to put some facts either in graphical or diagrammatic form to back up opinions and statements ? Any presentation would be welcome It would appear their elitism extends to the point whereupon they believe the electorate and general public ” cannot understand complex … Continue reading

IN THEIR DNA…

A B-BBC reader writes; “On the BBC World Home page today. One of the ‘Most Popular’ news item in the list was apparently this one: “Hillsborough Justice hailed but not on front of Sun”. You go into look and yes that’s correct and not very sensible of The Sun. The Sun has a piece instead about an EU Cover Up/David Cameron. BBC bias is getting ridiculous and as I am … Continue reading

The Phoney Pot

  The government makes all sorts of claims about the threat to inward investment to the UK should we leave the EU’s clutches and the BBC does little to dispel such notions.  Hence we bring you this piece of puffery from the government from last year in which they boast of their success in attracting record levels of investment to the UK…due to the government’s fabled long term economic plan, … Continue reading

Climate Change Change

Major New Complaint Submitted To BBC Over Climate Bias A major new and serious complaint has been sent to the Director General of the BBC, regarding the Corporation’s persistent bias in reporting of climate change issues. The complaint is a … Continue reading

Breaking The Mould

  A young, ambitious Kenyan today should not have to do what my grandfather did, and serve a foreign master. Obama Yep, what happened to Obama’s grandfather under British colonial rule doesn’t hang heavily at all on his thoughts at all. Though the racist, dog-whistling Guardian in 2009 seemed to think so… Could Obama’s dual colonial heritage spell the end of the special relationship? The intriguing question of whether the … Continue reading

START THE WEEK OPEN THREAD…..

Hi all. Monday morning comes early and this is a NEW Open thread for you to detail the bias. The BBC have spent the last few days salivating over the Obama visit so I took some pleasure when I was on BBC5 Live on Saturday night pointing out that no one with any sense would pay attention to this has-been Brit Hater, deployed by Cameron in a desperate effort to … Continue reading

The Whiphand

    Obama makes a blatant threat that if we vote for Brexit we’ll be at the back of the queue for trade deals. So, let’s be clear…do what Obama says or else.  So much for a special relationship. Back last year the US said there would be no deals…so ‘back of the queue’ seems like an improvement in some ways, however it is clearly a staged threat designed to … Continue reading
