A new open thread to tide you over….  

  BBC Grandee Jonathan Dimbleby has been at it again…urging us, the paying public, to support his life of ease and licence fee sponsored largesse and his overweening sense of entitlement. Apparently he has been berating the Any Questions audience to write to their MPs to stop the government and the vested interests of those on the right-wing from crushing the BBC…never mind that the government has given many reassurances … Continue reading →

Curious how the BBC loves to ‘help’ us judge the effeciveness of the Tory government whether it is how it runs A&E or how successful it is in providing affordable homes for people.  Neither of those helpful sites were particularly accurate…the housing one suggested it was impossible to find an affordable home in London and yet one look at estate agent websites showed that was just not the case.  In … Continue reading →

    I don’t know if anyone heard the 5Live exploration of the government’s requriement that landlords ensure their tenants are not illegal immigrants but as always it is interesting what catches the eye of the BBC. The BBC doesn’t think much of this government policy and was busily subverting it with endless criticisms that demonstrated how it will never work.  Curiously though they completely brushed over what was a … Continue reading →

    Dan Walker has been given preferential treatment by the BBC because he is a fundamentalist Christian.  He says… ‘I don’t want to be persecuted because I am a Christian’ The broadcaster, who currently hosts Afternoon Edition on BBC Radio 5 Live and Football Focus on BBC One, will replace BBC Breakfast’s Bill Turnbull when the veteran morning presenter leaves at the end of this month. Walker, who does … Continue reading →

  Funny how the BBC turns a blind eye to the ‘Muhammedisation’ of Europe and yet expresses great concern about its ‘Putinisation’…… Poland accuses BBC of bias after broadcaster alleges country is being ‘Putinised’ Poland has launched a formal protest against the BBC in connection with a film suggesting that its current government was “Putinising” the country. A letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the broadcaster of being … Continue reading →

    Pegida UK Official @PegidaUK_ The official British branch of the Dresden-born PEGIDA movement. We stand against radical Islam to protect our national identity. Press: ukpegida@outlook.com The BBC likes to nail the likes of the EDL or Pegida by focussing on the few in those groups who express extreme views or use violence, the BBC ignoring the underlying motivation and rationale behind either movement.  In contrast they ignore the … Continue reading →

  Craig at Is the BBC biased?  [hell yeah] brought this to the world’s attention…from the BBC’s Analysis programme….   The ‘island of Ireland’?  Does the BBC not recognise Northern Ireland then?  Does the BBC not understand there is already a border between Ireland and Northern Ireland? And oh yes…we don’t want any of thise ‘divisive’ things called borders do we?  And ‘revive dangerous tensions’?  Do they not read the … Continue reading →

  The BBC has been giving it both barrels today about the ‘teacher shortage’….a scandalous, never known before,  disaster that the Tories are responsible for apparently. Curous that this ‘sudden’ disaster is one that is an ever recurring one, not just in the UK but around the world…. ‘The attraction and retention of teachers is a problem faced by schools worldwide and possibly more so in the public sector.’ The … Continue reading →
