The Guardian is becoming less of a newspaper and more and more of a campaigning, issues led vehicle for the green ink brigade. The BBC isn’t far behind especially with its highly inaccurate and one-sided ‘reporting’ of Race in America….even today it tells us that its programme about OJ Simpson was more concerned with racial issues than the murder itself. The Guardian gives a platform to just about any … Continue reading
The Today programme graced us with a report revealing that UK children are amongst the unhappiest in the world and 5Live followed up on that. 0850 A major international study ranks England 13th out of 16 countries when it comes to children’s life satisfaction. Jonathan Bradshaw is a professor of social policy at the University of York who co-edited the report. I know that the BBC is trying to … Continue reading

The BBC’s Hugh Sykes has tweeted that the alleged sex abuse of a 15 year old girl by Sunderland footballer (ex), Adam Johnston, was the result of a conspiracy by Manchester United to undermine Sunderland….or so he has heard from ‘credible’ sources. The BBC long ignored allegations against Islamist Tower Hamlet Mayor, Lutfur Rahman, until reality caught up with them and they could no longer ignore the … Continue reading
Apols for my absence. BT stripped me of ALL broadband for a week and I am now catching up on all my various platforms. I think the BBC are playing a blinder FOR the Prime Minister at the moment. They are carefully playing along with the whole “Will he or won’t he get a deal on the EU” in the full knowledge that this is a foregone conclusion. The only … Continue reading
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
