Despite this coming out of a BBC Today programme interview have you heard the BBC giving it much airtime?…normally such a statement, were it pro-staying in the EU and scaremongering about leaving, would be quoted all day on the news…either I missed the endless reports or they didn’t bother…for some reason….from the Telegraph.. Ignore the scaremongers, manufacturing powerhouse Vauxhall says it would be fine outside the EU Boss … Continue reading
Listening to the BBC ‘report’ on the ever-growing migrant pressure on EU borders and you’d think that Hungary alone was the ‘villain’ of the piece as the BBC blitzes Hungary and pours scorn and contempt upon it whilst at the same time downplaying problems and policy changes in heroic Germany.

If you want to control immigration and believe that mass immigration is going to be highly disruptive and de-stabilise countries then that’s because you are a little Hitler, a little bit Fascist, a little bit Nazi. That’s the lesson we must learn today as the BBC lectures us on our failings as humane beings. The BBC, already almost extremist in its proselytising for immigration, has, in desperation as the … Continue reading
A little reminder to the BBC and we do like to bring a little joy to the world… “I would like to pay tribute to the contribution you and your company make to the prosperity of Britain.

Apparently Jeremy wasn’t too keen on getting to the truth about Mosley … Continue reading
CommunistView @CommunistView 5 hrs5 hours ago @theJeremyVine Why should JC want to be interviewed by R4, since you are propagandists for the right-wing neoliberal agenda. We were constantly being told by Labour MPs that Jeremy Corbyn was a lovely person in person, affable, kind and with a sense of humour. Maybe he is but he certainly doesn’t come across that way…his acceptance speech left me entirely cold and thinking … Continue reading
Canon CHRIS CHIVERS ‘I’d previously worked in South Africa, in Cape Town, which is of course emerging from an apartheid history which was deeply divided and deeply divisive, and I think I can honestly say that I’ve never worked in such a segregated community, or lived in one as this’…..in Blackburn, UK. When Paul Sabapathy, CBE, Her Majesty’s lord lieutenant of the West Midlands, said that British Pakistanis must … Continue reading
So, we have a Labour Leader who won’t condemn the IRA and a Labour Shadow Chancellor who has fantasised about assassinating Margaret Thatcher. What a crew. Anyway, time to start the week with a new Open Thread. The floor is yours, comrades.
If you believed the BBC you’d think the UK was the cause of most of the world’s problems, Yemen a case in point…however the truth might in fact be a lot different than the impression given by the BBC…from 2014 but it seems all too relevant today: From the Economist… A new index ranks national decency It ranks countries based on how much they do for others … Continue reading
