Did you hear Dr Adam Marshall, acting director-general of the BCC, on Wake up to money (34 mins) on Friday? Interesting what he had to say. He told us that what really concerned his members was the poor state of the global economy, what’s happening in the emerging economies, China, Russia, Brazil, the oil price, inflation and turmoil in financial markets, all of which ‘weigh the heaviest’ on their … Continue reading
We’ve already looked at the BBC’s decision to put on a huge EU referendum debate just two days before the actual vote, concluding that it was likely that the BBC believed that such a circus would benefit the pro-EU campaign persuading, nudging, the ‘don’t knows’ into voting ‘stay’. David Dimbleby front’s the BBC’s EU coverage and will lead a debate to be held at Wembley Arena just two days … Continue reading
Ok folks, Friday arrives and here is a new Open Thread to see us off into the wide blue yonder of the weekend! THIS is where you detail the endless bias from the rancid biased BBC. Enjoy 🙂
It’s quite amazing to read the starry-eyed treatment the BBC affords the latest claims from Chairman Mao fan John McDonnell. Labour insisted that the new rule was not a commitment to spend more money than the present government. Chancellor George Osborne has put in place rules saying that the government will create an overall budget surplus “in normal times”. Labour voted against the rule in Parliament, and Mr McDonnell said any future … Continue reading

David Cameron in PMQs condemned the fact that Labour had allowed back into its ranks one Gerry Downing….. “I was completely appalled to see yesterday that the Labour Party have readmitted someone to their party who says that the 9/11 suicide bombers, and I quote, “must never be condemned”, and belongs to an organisation that says “we defend the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq”. These are appalling … Continue reading

The BBC ran this story with some enthusiasm today; Boris Johnson says an email telling his senior staff to back him over the EU referendum has been withdrawn. The London mayor, who is campaigning to leave the EU, said the memo to deputy mayors and senior advisers was “a cock-up, and not something I agree with”.It told them to “either advocate the mayor’s position or otherwise not openly contradict it” when … Continue reading
