BUDGETING FOR BIAS…

Well, seeing as how Labour weren’t up to much of a response to the Osborne Budget, the BBC obviously felt that they needed to step up to the challenge. All day they have been running the following attack line… Budget 2015: Squeeze to hit 13m families, says IFS And below the headline this.. Thirteen million UK families will lose £260 a year on average because of the Budget’s tax and … Continue reading

Never Mind The Legend, Print the Truth

    As the Egyptian intellectual Abd al-Munim Said once observed, “The biggest problem with conspiracy theories is that they keep us not only from the truth, but also from confronting our faults and problems.” They also make us look like loons. Can we give it a rest, please? That’s a quote from a Mehdi Hasan article about conspiracy theories and why Muslims are so in thrall to them.  Which … Continue reading

Crocodile Tears For The Victims of 7/7 And Tunisia?

  For the BBC there seems to be no ‘why’ for 7/7. Or at least when listening to their coverage of the anniversary one thing is missing….the question asking what was the motivation for the attacks, why did 4 Muslims attack ‘The West’? The BBC looks even to have put aside its normal infantile, dangerous and highly politicised reason…the Iraq War….The BBC knows this is a false message, a deliberate … Continue reading

Back To The Future Perfect

    Not really BBC bias other than an example of why the EU is so hopeless and yet the BBC still cheerleads relentlessly for it.   Doesn’t this from 2011 all look familiar…I had to keep checking the date to make sure I was reading it properly…. Eurozone: UK ready to back IMF bailouts Nick Robinson | 23:43 UK time, Wednesday, 2 November 2011 Britain is standing by to … Continue reading

Oh!

  You’d have to be a completely heartless bastard to laugh. The BBC has spent the last 5 years chastising the Coalition for its welfare reforms and in the run up to the election loudly demanded to know the details of the proposed £12 billion in savings from the welfare budget…and now we know, at least one bit….the BBC is going to pay a huge chunk of it itself! Chancellor … Continue reading

Jon ‘Hamas’ Donnison

  After the attack in Tunisia I looked at Donnison’s Twitter feed to see his reaction…nothing.  I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he must be sleeping off his socialising with the Muslim victims of rampant Australian Islamophobia and would start the same sort of tweeting we are used to when he is constantly telling us of his sympathies for Hamas and the victims of Israeli ‘terrorism … Continue reading
