The BBC has always opposed a change to the licence fee funding model on the grounds that subscription would be technically too difficult and would cost too much…..not to mention of course that the licence fee is easy money at the moment and a guaranteed source of income regardless of what they produce and who watches. On the other hand it has decided that it is technically feasible and … Continue reading
Late with this…..the floor is yours….
The BBC’s ‘Sunday’ carries on as usual with its unusual world view that is at so odds with everyday folk. We had a piece on the pages of the Koran found at Birmingham University. The BBC did ask some very awkward questions for Muslims that these Koran pages raise…such as the carbon dating may show that this Koran may show that ‘Islam’ may have been in existence before Muhammed, … Continue reading
The BBC was sure that Clockboy was the victim of injustice, prejudice and misperceptions perpetrated by a society that has been polluted by an Islamophobic narrative driven by the right-wing press. It seems that ‘Chopperboy’ in the UK may also be a victim of similar prejudice, his threats to behead and murder so many people merely an articulation of his rage against a society that doesn’t value or accept … Continue reading
Just a note to the BBC that seems entirely unaware that Corbyn is not Churchill…… Massed cheerleading from the hard-core believers is not the same as mass popularity. On another note…try replacing Black Cabs (BC) with BBC in the narrative in this video and see if the sentiments are the same….a group that doesn’t want competition …’it’s just protectionism…the last closed shop’…and ‘is it … Continue reading
Obama not also claiming these lost boys for his virtual family then? The BBC is in a bit of a quandary….a mixed race killer who likes the IRA (one of the BBC’s favoured terror groups)…..they can’t avoid mentioning the IRA but perhaps, as with the Hispanic George Zimmerman, they can pass Harper off as purely white and settle for rolling their eyes in disgust at the … Continue reading

‘After years of trying to make sense of extremism, I want to understand the lives of ordinary Muslims, to go behind the walls and dispel the mystery and suspicion felt by non-Muslims on the outside’ The BBC has just broadcast what can only be described as a very provocative piece of pro-Muslim propaganda for the East London Mosque which has a well deserved reputation for extremist teachings (any search on … Continue reading
Well, the BBC did all they could to spin Corbyn’s “straight-talking” speech, didn’t they? I note they casually dismissed the fact that a section of it was written years ago for Neil Kinnoch. I note they overlooked he read out directional advice from the autocue. Straight-talking? Anyway, here’s a mid week open thread and the last one of this month!
‘As a man he suffers from a fatal incoherence of the intellectual pretensions. He has wonderful dramatic ideas, but doesn’t have the drive or grasp to make a team of them. His politics seems to me to be founded in a real imagination, sinister and very odd…too much smiling insinuation….and a continuous impersonation of reality out of illusion and fantasy combines with dark sideswipes at the ‘evil’ Press in … Continue reading
