The BBC is thinking of introducing subscription for the over 75’s….though it’s voluntary and you can still watch the BBC if you don’t cough up regardless of your income.  However if you are a poor, bedraggled single mum with 18 kids, impoverished and made homeless by the Tories cruel welfare reforms, the BBC will still seek to have you banged up for non-payment….and blame the Tories for it. BBC … Continue reading →

  The Tunisians are building an anti-terror wall, as are the Saudis…I wonder if they had Israeli advisors? Nary a peep from the usual suspects about these apartheid walls….unlike for Israel’s ‘wall of shame’. We looked at the BBC’s hypocrisy when it comes to Israel’s security barrier before…..they must ‘avoid the political connotations of ‘security fence’ (preferred by the Israeli government) or ‘apartheid wall’ (preferred by the Palestinians). ‘ Never … Continue reading →

      Those perverters of religion, they’re everywhere…. A crucifix sculpted in the shape of a hammer and sickle presented to Pope Francis in Bolivia has caused a stir among Catholic commentators. The Pope was given the item, combining Catholic and communist symbols, by left-wing Bolivian President Evo Morales. One Catholic bishop suggested that Mr Morales had sought to “manipulate God”. Does this mean that Morales isn’t a Christian … Continue reading →

Don’t know if anyone caught the BBC News on Radi0 4 at One but they managed to find a UK tourist in Tunisia who took exception to the Foreign Office advice to leave that country due to the “highly likely” nature of another terrorist attack. The gentlemen concerned said “It’s what you would expect from a Tory Government”. Now then, last time I checked, it was a Tunisian Islamist who … Continue reading →

  Mark Mardell must have dropped dead when he saw this piece by Nick Bryant…and if so will be steadily rolling in his grave at the blasphemies being uttered by Bryant….The decline of US power? Its fairly standard stuff about Bush and his wars, Guantanamo and economic woes dragging the US’s reputation down and its influence in the world down with it. However there is a long blast at Obama, … Continue reading →

  Good that the BBC uses its own ‘news’ and analysis resources to once again promote its case for maintaining the licence fee and its privileged, pre-eminent position… Free-to-air broadcasters around the world are finding it tougher to afford the spiralling costs of sports rights at a time of mounting competition and demand from pay TV. In the UK, the emergence of BT Sport as a true challenger to Sky … Continue reading →

    Judging by the headlines today I’d be pretty hacked off if I was Joe Root….the BBC is far from alone in pushing this line….you have to ask why so much is made of Moeen Ali’s contribution…. Ashes 2015: Moeen Ali gives England the upper hand in Cardiff   Apparently Moeen is the ‘main man’…. Pint-sized Ashes: Moeen the main man …….he scored 77 and took two wickets. What … Continue reading →

I wonder if the BBC will get around to defining the massacre of innocents on that beach in Sousse as ‘travel based violence”? The reason I ask if because of this… BBC #wato says #sevenseven victims were “killed by extremists” – not “murdered by fundamentalist Muslims”. Ever-present bias. @DVATW — Dalrymple Forum (@dalrympleforum) July 7, 2015 Sanitising Islamic driven terror seems fundamental to the BBC narrative and if they can … Continue reading →

I came across this tweet from comedy writer Armando Iannucci. Could those complaining to me about ‘left-wing’ bias in the BBC point me to specific examples? Otherwise it’s difficult to respond. — Armando Iannucci (@Aiannucci) July 1, 2015 I have invited him to read this site where we have around some 10,000 examples of such. You may wish to tweet him in order to help inform his better?

Wonder what you make of this news? “The BBC’s political editor Nick Robinson is to step down from his role after 10 years. He will replace Jim Naughtie on the presenting team of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. Robinson will also report and present across television and radio for BBC News and Current Affairs.” I’ll be glad to see the back of Naughtie, he identified so readily with the Left it was … Continue reading →
