After a tragic and shocking event like the air crash at the Shoreham Air Show in which possibly 20 or more people were killed it would be expected that there would be a feeding frenzy from the Press with all sorts of claims, accusations and wild assertions being made. You’d expect the BBC, as an organisation that has no papers to sell and no axe to grind, … Continue reading →

  Apparently Alex Salmond would like to ship the BBC’s Nick Robinson off to a desert island and abandon him there….the spat continues as Salmond uses Robinson as his whipping boy. Alex Salmond has said Nick Robinson should be “embarrassed and ashamed” of his coverage of the Scottish independence referendum as he hit back at the outgoing BBC political editor’s attack on the “Putin”-like treatment journalists received at the hands … Continue reading →

“The city is mostly Iraqi and Syrian immigrants, but some Swedes live here too.”   Nick Darlington in the comments described this video perfectly….. Migrant crisis: Inside Sweden immigration camp   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKx_ClRrGfY A classic example of the BBC’s emotive reporting trying to manipulate the viewers perceptions.  In this case it is the classic BBC tactic of contrasting ‘intelligent’, charming, articulate immigrants with what the BBC hopes are unattractive, uneducated, ignorant … Continue reading →

    There are two sides to immigration.  The BBC only wants you to see one. The BBC is becoming ever more dishonest and political as it reports on immigration.  ‘Reports’ is in retrospect the wrong word as the BBC is not reporting but broadcasting pro-immigration propaganda. It has decided immigration is good and uses its massive resources and uniquely privileged and powerful position to provide an entirely false narrative … Continue reading →

    The BBC has dumped the Met Office apparently to cut costs telling us that ‘”Our viewers get the highest standard of weather service and that won’t change.  We are legally required to go through an open tender process and take forward the strongest bids to make sure we secure both the best possible service and value for money for the licence fee payer.” So the Met Office doesn’t … Continue reading →

  This post combines the concerns of the last two posts….namely the BBC’s love-in with Islamist extremists and its so oft noted preference for loading a panel with those who have the same interests as the BBC. The Reunion on R4 today brought together former inmates of Guantanamo Bay, the hooman rights lawyer Clive Stafford-Smith and, in sole opposition to them, Colonel Mike Bumgarner, guard commander at Guantanamo, whose diffident … Continue reading →

    The Conservative’s Liz Truss was completely outnumbered on ‘Any Questions’, the rest of the panel were of the left or giving left wing answers and the BBC presenter, Ritula Shah didn’t show a great deal of steel in challenging any of their answers. The audience was either packed with Corbyn supporters or they were just a very loud component of the audience and the questions seemed designed around … Continue reading →

  I’m pretty sure Jeremy Clarkson would be hunted down and, at the very least, removed from the public sphere by the Left. Would they be so keen to do the same to other Jeremys?  It seems they would.  Just what do they have against the ‘Jeremys’ or is that the jeremiahs? Somebody in the Labour Party has apparently suggested that ‘If you took  all the Jeremys in the Labour … Continue reading →

The Politics of Betrayal If you have been listening to the BBC on the radio all day you will have come away possibly impressed with the apparently principled moral stance of Jeremy Corbyn and his proposal to apologise, on behalf of the Labour Party, for the Iraq War. What was missing from the BBC’s reporting was the essential piece of information that informs you about his stance….that Corbyn is the … Continue reading →

Seen this? A left-wing comedian has said he was told by the Labour party that he could not vote in its leadership election. Jeremy Hardy said he paid £3 to become a Labour member in order to become eligible to vote, but that he has supported other parties in the past. He said he received a letter sent to people who are turned down, which said Labour had reason to … Continue reading →
