I thought I should share this with you… “The BBC complaints telephone line (03700 100 222) have ceased responding to complaints made over the phone, and will now only issue their denials to those who complain in writing.They do not refer to this as a change, or a new policy which might be expected, but instead use the rather unusual phrase a ‘clarification’ what ever that might be. The staff have … Continue reading →

    What can Matt McGrath mean?…. Surely the idea of “true” happiness is one of those concepts that only appeals to the young and the easily impressed – like Santa Claus. Or Kevin Pietersen. Is he saying Pietersen is only a genius in his own mind and the minds of the naive and easily impressed?  Pietersen’s ‘brilliance’ is as mythical as Santa Claus? Not very impartial that is it?  … Continue reading →

  Just caught 5Live and they were talking about the migrants in Hungary where they have been prevented from travelling on the trains…a migrant told the credulous BBC presenter that the Hungarians were picking people by the colour of their skin to get on the train….‘Really?’ said our eager newshound….’They’re picking people by skin colour?!!’ You have to laugh, if it weren’t so serious, at the BBC employee’s utter desperation … Continue reading →

Hi all! I’ve been across in Sweden for a short break and just back so catching up with things. One of the additional downsides of catching early flights is listening to BBC world service news “briefings” so earlier this morning, around 4.30m, I was listening to a BBC report saluting the courage of those “brave’ Austrians who turned up to welcome a swarm of third world “refugees” in Vienna. The … Continue reading →

  Wiley old Corbyn certainly knows which side his bread is buttered and who to suck up to: Labour leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn says he will invest in the arts, protect the BBC and ensure every child can learn a musical instrument I am fearful about the impact the latest round of cuts at the BBC will have on programming and on our media output in this country. I firmly … Continue reading →

    When Nigel Farage asked ‘”How many millions does Europe want to take? That really is the question.”  Sarah Montague on the Today programme snapped back ‘Forget that’, her narrative being there should be no limit to immigration as there was a ‘moral obligation’ to help these refugees ‘from Syria’. It’s remarkable how BBC employees, unelected but rather enamoured wth their job in the BBC which they seem to … Continue reading →

      The Telegraph headlines with this: EU may bring back border controls, Angela Merkel suggests Surely a major, major story especially considering Cameron’s attempts, alleged atytempts, to renegotiate in particular the free movement of people within Europe. The BBC ignores it in its own news..preferring to give us two front page stories…here the heroic efforts as ‘Migrants breach Hungary razor wire fence‘  and ‘Migrants welcomed at German rail … Continue reading →

  The Mail tells us that: Even Cameron often finds Obama too rational and considered. Obama loves the emotionless, logical Mr Spock from Star Trek and there is more than a passing resemblance between the two. His nickname at the Foreign Office has been Spock for years. And it’s all true…Obama is an alien…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A239ITIlews   Nowhere on the BBC!!!! Once again the BBC censors astonishing and chilling news about … Continue reading →

    Craig at Is the BBC BIased? (seems to be ever-increasingly so) is writing up the EU’s spendthrift proclivities: The Great European Disaster Movie Part II …noting that the film was in part funded by the EU…such a fact having been denied by the BBC…which of course raises many questions as Craig lays out in further posts. But the EU’s desire to fund a bit of propaganda doesn’t stop … Continue reading →

    Paul Mason left the BBC for pastures new…perhaps the BBC finally saw the light about his trotskyist tendencies or whatever they maybe…..this is amusing…Mason, and his utopian dream, is slam-dunked, very gently by BBC Trustee (and Migration Advisory Committee member…strangely the BBC’s Fraser Steel is on the board of Immigration Service UK Ltd….funny what these BBC types get into) Diane Coyle: PostCapitalism dreams big – but its theories … Continue reading →
