After much skirmishing Tony Hall has finally fired the opening salvo in the Charter Wars and set out his initial gameplan for the BBC march to victory. It is a gameplan with imperial ambitions.  Less is definitely more in Tony Hall’s world it seems.  That world is to be seen by more and more people but filtered more and more through the BBC lens…if Hall has his way. … Continue reading →

Here we go, a new Open Thread for you to detail the bias. The BBC has become a prime cheerleader for Open Borders and the UK accepting as many “Syrian Refugees” as you can shake a stick at. Each morning we are presented with ever so cuddly tales of grateful smiling Mums and cute kids. Just don’t mention the vast number of fighting age men….anyway, the floor belongs to you.

The BBC did a hatchet job on the Hungarian PM, Viktor Orban, for his comments about Muslim migration into Europe and referenced a comment by the Economist made way back in 2007…….the BBC said.. ‘Politics of the gutter’ Out of government, Mr Orban was regarded by political analysts as a populist, to the extent that in 2007 the UK’s Economist awarded him its “politics of the gutter award”, citing his … Continue reading →

    Remember the furore over Cameron using the word ‘swarm’…apparently this meant he was dismissing the migrants (can we use that word?) as insects or animals (and listen to Sarah Montague snort in what is definitely a knowingly mocking way when Sir John Holmes talks of not seeing migrants as ‘animals’ in another interview…you know exaclty what went  through her mind and how she was thinking). Remember Gordon Brown’s … Continue reading →

  The BBC et al have been scathingly dismissive of the Hungarian approach to migration especially the Prime Minister’s suggestion that Hungary should only take in Christian migrants as Muslims will ‘threaten to undermine Europe’s Christian roots’.  The BBC have decided he is an extremist….Hungary PM Viktor Orban: Antagonising Europe since 2010.   However if you read the piece you will come away thinking there is nothing that Hungary has … Continue reading →

  This demonstrates perfectly how the rhetoric over the immigration crisis has got vastly out of hand and people have lost their marbles…the Daily Mail’s Robert Hardman sinks to the depths here… A desperate father and a train ride with such grim echoes: ROBERT HARDMAN on the trains carting migrants off to detention camps in Hungary Through the condensation fogging up this oven of a railway carriage, an exhausted, ecstatic … Continue reading →

    The BBC does a hatchet job on a firm of lawyers who support the Christian employee in the US who refuses to marry gay couples….The legal team behind Kentucky’s defiant clerk We are told that ‘It has been labelled a hate group and one of twelve organisations embarking on an “anti-gay crusade” in the US, but it is a group that anti-gay rights activists are increasingly turning to … Continue reading →

    There is a bidding war going on as to who is the most humane, the most compassionate, who can get the most brownie points for making the boldest bid for pro-asylum seeker empathy. Labour’s Yvette Cooper opened the bidding, no doubt as a cunning ploy in her leadership election run, with a grandiose gesture of 10,000 whilst Andy Burnham claimed he had always been thinking along those lines … Continue reading →
