I wonder if the BBC thinks that supporting the government position on the EU referendum will make the government look kindly upon the BBC when the Charter Renewal is finally decided?  Has Lord Hall Hall got an agreement with Cameron? No, of course not, the independent and impartial BBC would never stoop so low.   The BBC may interview some who support Brexit but it is becoming more and … Continue reading →

When it’s not being used to spread Project Fear, BBC Radio 4 likes to relax by continually expressing its disgust at the success of Donald Trump and this morning was no exception. The BBC just cannot understand how a man like Trump – with his “awful” views – has had such a successful SuperTuesday! I can’t wait for him to become President, just as the UK exist the EU. It … Continue reading →

Here you go, a new Open Thread to welcome the middle of the week! Detail the bias here please!

Odd, if we are supposed to vaue the opinions of such people, that the BBC ignores views from similarly statuesque figures on the Brexit side of things…such … Continue reading →

  ‘I am struggling a bit to see where the crisis is.’  John Humphrys in his own interview on the BBC’s nursing shortage ‘crisis’ in the NHS   The BBC has been headlining with the news that there is a shortage of nurses in the NHS and foreign nurses are having to be recruited, at great expense, by the shipload. Trouble is, much like its claim that Jeremy Hunt was … Continue reading →

    Thanks to Notafanofpoliticians for this:   Shame Rotten wasn’t as full of principles as he suggests…     Elsewhere…Paul Merton denies a transcript of him abusing Savile is real…..     Here’s the transcript….put up not by its writers but by someone else….who got the HIGNFY teams wrong….Savile did appear on the show but with Hislop.   The real writers admit to it being a hoax.
