If You Want To Get Ahead….

  BBC ignoring this story so far which is in every other news outlet big and small since several hours ago… HSBC employees sacked for ‘abhorrent’ mock Isil execution video The bank has apologised after a video emerged online of staff dressed in jumpsuits apparently pretending to behead an Asian colleague   The Sun has the video here. Most if not all the ‘colleagues’ seem to be ‘Asian’….This is a … 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

Oh, … Continue reading

Dole Not Coal

  The BBC is being very economical with the truth….the government’s, em that’ll be Ed Miliband’s, renewable energy policies are driving coal mines out of existence….but you’d hardly know that if you relied upon the BBC to tell you what is going on. Hatfield Colliery is to close and the Prospect Union tells us that… Government forces closure of Hatfield Colliery 30 Jun 2015 Prospect has blamed shortsighted government policy … Continue reading

Remind Me

  ‘The fear that religious terror brings, the lies it makes people tell and concessions it forces them to make are as familiar here as on the subcontinent.’  Nick Cohen   Mishal Husain was in Bangladesh this week….she was curious as to why there is a rise in fanaticism in Bangladesh as liberal/atheist bloggers get murdered for their ‘blasphemous’ sins.  Could it be the Bangladeshis’ foreign policy, their invasion of … Continue reading

Smoke And Mirrors

  ‘The fear that religious terror brings, the lies it makes people tell and concessions it forces them to make are as familiar here as on the subcontinent.’  Nick Cohen “Compare the bravery of Bangladeshi intellectuals with the attitude of the bulk of the western intelligentsia. Whole books could be written on why it failed to argue against the fascism of our age – indeed I’ve written a couple myself … Continue reading
