The past is not just history

    The past can cast a cold hard light upon the mutterings of today and embarrass those who change their tune in order to press their own agenda. Last year in the run up to the election we heard a lot about the government’s, the Tories’, intended spending cuts….we were told in alarmist terms of how savage they would be in the second term.  We were also treated to … Continue reading

Why the outrage?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UeTSaUm2Js     After blaming former prime minister Tony Blair for the 2005 atrocity, Mr Livingstone – who was mayor at the time – told the audience: ‘They did those killings because of our invasion of Iraq. ‘They gave their lives, they said what they believed. They took Londoners’ lives in protest at our invasion of Iraq.’ Why is there outrage at Ken Livingstone’s comments about the 7/7 bombings?  This … Continue reading

Where’s McCarthy when you need him?

    From the Spectator for your delight and amazement: In 2008 during an appearance on This Week, Diane Abbott found herself fighting the communist leader’s corner during a discussion on dictators with Andrew Neil and Michael Portillo: MP: Mao Zedong killed 30 million, 60 million. People still wear Mao t-shirts, people still carry Mao Little Red Books and if you go to China there’s still a huge picture of … Continue reading

Sacred Illusions Shattered

  You have to admire the shameless, brass-necked dishonesty of the BBC’s delusional reporters as they discuss the possible collapse of the, their, European Dream.  A dream that the BBC has given fulsome support to with endless, relentlessly pro-European reports that were intended not to shine a light on events in Europe but to persuade a critical and dubious British Public of the EU’s benefits. Here Gavin Hewitt tolls the … Continue reading

CAN THEY SAVE JEREMY?

There must be great consternation at the BBC as the Corbyn “led” Labour party falls into absolute chaos. We all saw Shadow Chancellor McDonnell screw up his response to the Autumn Statement by quoting Chairman Mao. Now I see there is clip of Diane Abbott saying “on balance Mao did more good than bad”. Meanwhile Ken Livingstone excuses the 7/7 bombers by saying “they gave their lives” to stop the … Continue reading

The Man O’Peace and The Religion O’Peace

At a time when, due mostly to Muslim anti-Semitism, Jews are saying…. ‘There is no future for Jews in Europe’ …..Shouldn’t we know who we’re dealing with when someone aspires to be the Prime Minister of Britain?….Why does the BBC neglect to do eye-opening exposés of Corbyn and his dodgy associates like the one below? From Harry’s Place: Jeremy Corbyn and the Finsbury Park Mosque A Refuge A man battered … Continue reading

The perils of an English graduate reporting science

  Via Bishop Hill:   The Spectator doesn’t do a great deal on the climate front, but when it does, it does it very well. At the moment they have a long piece (£, but you may get a free look) by David Rose on Judy Curry, which although containing little that will be new to BH readers will be informative for many. If it’s pure entertainment you want, they … Continue reading
