    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 →

  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 →

  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 →

    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 →

OK folks, time for a new Syriza approved one of these. Just say OXI to BBC bias and detail it here. The comrades seem most unhappy with Osborne after his comments on Marr yesterday! Your thoughts?

  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 →

  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 →

        John Humphrys was in the Sunday Times last week giving us a great example of how the BBC thinks….the Greek tragedy?  It’s the fault of the Bankers, Big Business and Government…investment bankers and politicians on the make who green lighted Greece’s entry into the Euro…anything to do with the Greek people themselves?   No. No. No. says Humphrys as he ‘slays the big fat Greek myth’. Oh, … Continue reading →

  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 →
