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.

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
‘What the Islamic State and the 1915 Ottoman Turks have in common is a cruelty based on ideology – even theology – rather than race hatred, although that is not far away.’ Now most people probably don’t agree with Robert Fisk’s take on things but he has bitten the bullet and gone against the grain of his usual fare…. The Christian tragedy in the Middle East … Continue reading
This should tide you over until the next open thread appears…..
David Cameron has been photographed feeding a lamb….an orphaned lamb…sweet, as Jeremy Clarkson would say. The BBC has decided there is something decidedly of the ‘Dark Arts’ about all this and sent in intrepid reporter, John Humphrys, to investigate the important issues surrounding this breaking news. Apparently this is ‘the new reality’ of politics with politicians kissing babies and doing photo ops…never been done before … Continue reading
