The BBC broadcast a lecture by Katy Long.  Who is Katy Long?  She is an academic whose speciality is immigration and refugees. What the BBC doesn’t tell us is that she is an ardent, if not fanatical, proponent of open borders and the unregulated, totally unrestricted movement of migrants and the destruction of the nation state.  She is also pretty much on the far left economically and is immersed … Continue reading →

The fall of Camilla Batmanghelidjh has distressed the BBC and I see they ran the following “news” story earlier today … “Much of the focus of the collapse of charity Kids Company has been on its finances and its(cough) flamboyant founder Camilla Batmanghelidjh – what has increasingly been overlooked is the fate of the people who relied on it. Part of the problem concerning those “helped’ by the Kids Company is precisely … Continue reading →

I thought that this was a strange item on the BBC earlier today. “Large supermarkets are becoming a thing of the past – shoppers are increasingly using smaller shops, discount stores, and local retailers. What might those changes mean for our towns? We hear from retail consultant and broadcaster Mary Portas, and Matthew Price reports.” The item sang the praises of the German discount chains, Lidl and Aldi. It also allowed Mary … Continue reading →

  Woman’s Hour had a long love in with the Female leaders of Scotland’s political parties (I think the Tory one, Ruth Davidson, might have been mentioned somewhere in the piece.) Woman’s Hour asked how is it that if there is so much success in Scotland for women why is that not the case in Westminster? You may have thought that that would be the occasion when the BBC might … Continue reading →

    They’re right, absolutely right.  Owen Jones, Mehdi Hasan, the Cardiff stooges.  They’re all right. The BBC is right wing.  The Guardian is just to the left of the Telegraph. The Pope is Muslim.  It’s all so obvious now. Alex, when you stated…‘How can anyone possible say that the BBC isn’t massively biased to the left?

We heard that there was a Sudanese migrant ‘called Daniel, who claimed to have fled the war-torn country after being persecuted for being protestant; he said he tried to cross the Channel every night ‘under trains’.’ Now as there are around 50 million Sudanese, North and South.  Is the BBC suggesting we re-home all these people…surely all must be suffering … Continue reading →
