BBC rigs its submission to Charter Review

    From the Mail: BBC ‘ignored public’s views on its future and instead used paid-for-study to represent the views of the population’ The BBC Trust side-lined the views of the public from its official report on the future of the Corporation – despite lecturing everyone else that the public’s voice should be ‘heard loud and clear’. It also skewed the results of a survey, even after telling MPs that … Continue reading

Rats in a sack

    It’s getting nasty as the blame game starts……. Scotland Yard accuses the BBC of hampering its investigations into historical child sexual abuse Scotland Yard has accused the BBC of undermining its investigation into historical child sex abuse, claiming that the corporation’s actions risked deterring victims from coming forward. Scotland Yard said that the BBC’s actions “could compromise the evidential chain should a case ever proceed to court”. In … Continue reading

May Day

  Theresa May said some sensible, measured and balanced things about immigration. The world went mad.  And the BBC gave the world a helping hand. John Pienaar and Co told us that May used a tough tone, a hard, uncompromising message, she was deliberately setting out to polarise opinion.  Really?  Wasn’t she just saying the absolute truth about uncontrolled mass immigration, a truth that most people in this country understand?  … Continue reading

The BBC…Still in denial about Savile and all that?

  Tonight Panorama broadcasts this: The VIP Paedophile Ring: What’s the Truth? What’s the truth?  Good question.  Will Panorama provide the answer?…We know that the BBC grandees have been panicking about this Panorama programme lest it bring into question the BBC’s own reporting of ‘Nick’ and his allegations….and judging by this trailing article for the programme by Ceri Thomas I have my doubts….search for ‘BBC’ and you’ll get one reference … Continue reading

Start the week open thread

  Time for a fresh open thread……a Tory conference in full swing, mass Muslim immigration, a war in the Middle East with the Turks and Russians curiously bombing everyone except the one target they should be hitting…the Islamic State, Europe in turmoil and Peston’s hair….the BBC newsroom must be working full-steam ahead, all hands to the pumps, to keep up with all that and shape it into a narrative that … Continue reading

Bye Bye Bias?

    John Whittingdale confirms that the BBC is to lose its power to judge whether the BBC is biased.  Good.  About time. From the Guardian: John Whittingdale, the UK culture secretary, has confirmed that the BBC will be stripped of its power to adjudicate on allegations of political bias in its coverage.  Speaking at the Conservative party conference in Manchester, he said the public should have confidence that complaints … Continue reading

Racist ‘Britain’

“Europe You’ll Come Crawling When Mujahedeen Come Roaring”   The BBC is indulging in a very dangerous and dishonest attack on British society and in particular white British people, pushing the narrative that they are all racist based purely on the fact that they are white and that other races, and the BBC inlcudes Islam as a race for some reason, are always victims of white peoples’ prejudice thus sowing … Continue reading

New Labour…Old Danger

  Interesting to see someone thinks as I do about New Labour.  I constantly hear on the BBC and elsewhere that Blair and Co were right-wing whilst I was always of the opinion that Blair was in fact extremely left-wing and smashed those left-wing  policies into the British Establishment, culture and society…yes he cosied up to the banks but even Lenin told us that Capitalism was a necessary part of … Continue reading
