Why, when the BBC is so interested in FGM and women’s rights, does it ignore a book by Elham Manea, a Muslim, that says the Islamic laws that some sharia courts in the UK propagate are more antiquated and extreme than in parts of Pakistan, courts that enforce laws that condone wife beating, ignore marital rape, allow men to have 4 wives and give the father ultimate power over … Continue reading →

    Did Rod Liddle really compare Muslims to monkeys in the Sunday Times today?  Yep he did. We’ve had the story about monkeys getting religion as they throw rocks at a tree, Rod Liddle casts a cynical eye over such a likelihood and says that…. ‘I suppose throwing rocks at a tree does resemble, a little, the Muslim ritual of “stoning the Devil” on the hajj during Eid al-Adha, … Continue reading →

  Nothing to do with BBC bias but time for a wee amusement break…..who knew there were so many comedians in the backwaters of the Amazon? Saw this in the Independent…and of course had to investigate…. Smartwatches that allow pupils to ‘cheat’ in exams for sale on Amazon Smartwatches that allow pupils and students to cheat in exams are being openly sold on Amazon. An advert for one such watch, … Continue reading →

    As John Humphrys proposes we open the borders to allow in what will be millions of Muslims into Europe and the Pope surrenders his religion there is at least Rod Liddle manning the borders……the ‘open border’ narrative is similar to the multicultural one where we place no restrictions on other cultures who seek to colonise Europe….we can only benefit from such rich diversity…can’t we?… What do all these … Continue reading →

  The BBC seems Pope-mad at the moment practically reporting every word of any Pope living or dead…indeed rifling through John Paul’s very personal letters for salacious tittle tattle that doesn’t exist…..hardly a day goes by without some dope on a Pope… Pope Francis questions Donald Trump’s Christianity Pope Francis decries migrant ‘tragedy’ at Mexico Mass Pope Francis set for historic Orthodox Patriarch meeting The Secret Letters of Pope John … Continue reading →

Here comes the weekend and with it more BBC bias! Here is where to detail the bias!

  Listening to the lightweight interview that slippery Mandelson had to ‘endure’ with John Humphrys the other day I wondered why the BBC didn’t remind us of this….The EU’s loyal lapdog…. Lord Mandelson must remain loyal to EU to guarantee pension Lord Mandelson is not allowed to criticise the European Union if he wants to keep hold of his £31,000-a-year pension as a former European Commissioner Mandelson will receive “a … Continue reading →

  Guess the BBC’s pro-EU coverage is paying off handsomely. Judging by this speech by the Culture Secretary, John Whittingdale, the BBC has little to fear from the Charter review…..indeed much to win as it is going to be able to charge for the iPlayer now.  Their major loss is the BBC Trust which guarded the BBC’s dignity so fiercely and so badly served the paying audience.  On another subject…..As … Continue reading →

  From Rod Liddle in the Spectator: The BBC. It does not break many stories partly because it does not think that there is a need to do so. Its journalists are part of a profession, not a trade. They sit above the rabble. And are not unduly bothered by how many people listen to them or watch them, unlike the rest of the media (which of course has to … Continue reading →

    Trotsky and Lenin believed that revolution in the West – in one of the key centers of capitalism – was necessary to secure the future of the international revolution. But they both also understood the importance of the revolts by those oppressed by colonialism and imperialism. As Trotsky put it in 1919, while on the frontline with the Red Army, “The road to Paris and London lies via … Continue reading →
