Here you go, on time and all ready to go. Over to you! This is where you can detail the bias.

Peston’s latest is an out and out party political ‘broadcast’ for Labour, even going so far as to try and compare Miliband to Thatcher…somebody at the BBC really should start reading Peston’s stuff before they let it go to press. Miliband as Thatcher not Foot? Yes…Miliband and Thatcher…soul mates…. Peston shows himself to be more the wide-eyed stagedoor johnny than a hard-nosed journalist with a handle on … Continue reading
Miliband blamed the banks and ‘someone’ in his speech today for the lack of regulation and oversight on the banking world but it seems to have been forgotten, conveniently buried by Labour’s non-dom shambles… We are still paying – you are still paying – the British people are still paying – for what happened because of the global financial crisis. We were told that the wealth flowed from these … Continue reading
Who said this in 2010?… I welcome this debate. It is an important contribution to the Government’s commitment to fairness in the tax treatment of non-domiciles. I hope that I have made clear the importance of the current non-domicile tax regime for the UK economy. Businesses see it as playing an important role in ensuring that the UK attracts skilled people from abroad to work, do business and invest. We … Continue reading
Craig at ‘Is the BBC biased?’ gave us the low down on the latest (well not quite…more of which later) bit of bias from Peston favouring the Labour camp…he is relentless and quite blatant… Robert Peston gets carried away It seems he has been giving us some very dodgy statistics about the cost/benefits of leaving the EU whilst cheerleading for Blair…which reminded me that I forgot to add … Continue reading
The BBC has been leading on this all day… Tony Blair says EU vote plan would cause economic chaos But nothing about this…. Markets spooked by threat of Labour-SNP coalition, economists warn The prospect of a coalition being formed between Labour and the Scottish National Party after May’s election has frightened financial markets, economists have warned. But back to Blair and Miliband on Europe. Last week Miliband told … Continue reading
This is another one of those stories that the BBC has disinterred from the archives but presents as new News just before the election… Warning over Islamic radicalisation in England’s prisons Staff shortages are making it harder to tackle Islamic radicalisation in England’s prisons, the former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office has warned. Chris Phillips said shortages meant extremists were not properly monitored, enabling them … Continue reading
On time and awaiting your completion! If the bias has been disturbing you then detail it here so we can share it with the world!
Here’s a bizarre offering from the BBC bigging up the SNP leader in this very pro-SNP piece…. Election 2015: Can Nicola Sturgeon win over the UK? Curiously after the wall to wall coverage the BBC gave to the leader’s debate last week the BBC is very coy about what happened in the one in Scotland where this happened… Sturgeon booed as she hints at second independence referendum Nicola … Continue reading
Sturgeon is complaining about political dirty tricks…but of course the SNP wrote the manual on how to use them….claiming that the leak of the memo is a dirty trick is a dirty trick in itself as she makes wild claims about who is to blame and the reasons why…far less credible claims than the memo itself….and all about diverting attention from the contents that are, as Norman Smith … Continue reading
