One man’s poison

Pegging Pegida…. “Wir sind das Volk”

    Pegida UK Official @PegidaUK_ The official British branch of the Dresden-born PEGIDA movement. We stand against radical Islam to protect our national identity. Press: ukpegida@outlook.com The BBC likes to nail the likes of the EDL or Pegida by focussing on the few in those groups who express extreme views or use violence, the BBC ignoring the underlying motivation and rationale behind either movement.  In contrast they ignore the … Continue reading

Irish Whimsy

  Craig at Is the BBC biased?  [hell yeah] brought this to the world’s attention…from the BBC’s Analysis programme….   The ‘island of Ireland’?  Does the BBC not recognise Northern Ireland then?  Does the BBC not understand there is already a border between Ireland and Northern Ireland?

History Lesson

  The BBC has been giving it both barrels today about the ‘teacher shortage’….a scandalous, never known before,  disaster that the Tories are responsible for apparently. Curous that this ‘sudden’ disaster is one that is an ever recurring one, not just in the UK but around the world…. ‘The attraction and retention of teachers is a problem faced by schools worldwide and possibly more so in the public sector.’ The … Continue reading

Eyes wide shut

Name and Blame

  Had to laugh at this disingenuous report from the BBC that asks… Do names make us think storms are worse? Storm Imogen has battered Wales and the west and south-west of England, the latest in a line of such events across the UK over the winter. But are storms getting worse or is the new convention of naming them simply grabbing them more attention, asks Justin Parkinson. It seems … Continue reading

Asian Evasion

    There’s the Daily Mail’s reporting and then there’s the BBC’s…which is more honest and revealing? The Mail reports on the gang rape of a 16 year old girl by Somali men….did you even notice the BBC reporting on this? A private school girl, mothers who excuse gang rape and a terrifying culture clash no one dares talk about: How Somalian men are living by their own laws… and … Continue reading
