https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy0cO_UYILM     The BBC has been relentlessly attacking Saudi Arabia for some time now whilst, as always, telling us what a wonderful, enlightened and moderate state Iran is…or would be if it weren’t for the Great Satan which sets out to surround poor little Iran with enemies necessitating an Iranian hardline response. Any thought that perhaps the BBC’s take on Saudi Arabia is coloured by its security correspondent’s grudge … Continue reading →

    Brown threatened to destroy Murdoch when The Sun saw the light…what will Corbyn do to the BBC if he gains power as the comrades in arms fall out?…. Labour complains to BBC over Stephen Doughty resignation Labour has made an official complaint to the BBC after a shadow minister resigned live on one of its programmes. MP Stephen Doughty quit the party’s foreign affairs brief live on BBC … Continue reading →

      The BBC has been hitting us hard all day with the politically motivated anti-drink ‘science’ (Where do we get that normally?) of risk, alcohol and cancer.  Quite aggressively negative interviews with those who criticise and more positive friendly ones with those who feed us this guff. All to be taken with a dose of salt….as long as you keep it within your government approved daily recommended amount … Continue reading →

  Pillage and rape across Europe…the Guardian thinks this is ‘Christmas come early for xenophobes’ as if the crimes do not matter, whilst Peter Allen on the BBC wondered if it wasn’t just a case of bored young men full of energy….no doubt an energy that they have been prevented from using productively and positively by discrimination and racism. Oh, and it’s all the police’s fault not the criminals themselves. … Continue reading →

  Well so much for the new, inclusive, respectful of all views politics.  If you don’t all parrot Corbyn you’re out…unless you’re too big to sack in an obvious fit of pique.  Hilary Benn is no doubt on notice. Two things about the BBC coverage…two very important and significant things.   One….where is any mention of Emily Thornberry, the new shadow secretary for defence, taking money from ‘thieving, ambulance chasing … Continue reading →

  The climate change lobby was pretty insistent that the ‘Pause’ was non-existent or if there was any such pause it could only be taken as statistically significant if it was over at least 15 years…..however, one month of rain and apparently that is a sign that climate change is upon us again…..not only that but it doesn’t have to be global or even national…if it rains a lot into … Continue reading →

        There were massed attacks on women across Germany by groups of men of ‘north African or Arab appearance’…the BBC reports this and the appearance of the attackers and yet…and yet the BBC plays down that identity and the fact that they are almost certainly migrants.  The BBC seems a little too eager to tell us that some of the sites of the attacks were well known … Continue reading →

      Love listening to Planet BBC, it is another world. The 1400 year war between the Sunni and Shia?  The BBC asks will it become the 30 year war of our time on the Today programme (o8:50). And apparently this  1400 year old war between two religious sects is not a religious war merely a ‘sectarian’ war….a 1400 year old war that started…guess when….in 2003 with the Iraq … Continue reading →

    Have you noticed the difference between how the BBC reports that the Swedes have started to control migration and the alarmed rhetoric we got when ‘Right-wing’ Hungary did the same? No claims of fascism or Nazism or racism as levelled at the Hungarians….in fact the Swedish story has vanished off the BBC pages to be replaced by one about Denmark reacting to the Swedish actions. The BBC isn’t … Continue reading →
