Watch Out

  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

Open Bordering on Madness

    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

Dope of a Pope

  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

Mandelson…The EU’s loyal lapdog

  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

Surrender

  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

“The road to Paris and London lies via the towns of Afghanistan, the Punjab and Bengal”

    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

To be Frank

    Just listening (on Today 08:44) to yet another Frank Gardner attack on Saudi Arabia….bet the Saudis wish they had paid off Gardner with the £1 million that they said they would pay him for his injuries received in a terrorist attack.  Not saying it colours his reportage about Saudi but Frank’s a little bit bitter. Apparently Britain and the US is responsible for the war in Yemen because … Continue reading
