One BBC correspondent tells us that ‘The Office of National Statistics (ONS) released two important sets of data today. The headlines have been grabbed by the better-than-expected GDP numbers and I have no doubt that growth will feature heavily in the political battle of the next few weeks.’ The rising GDP figures did make the headlines….here’s the Telegraph’s…‘UK economy grew at fastest rate for nine years … Continue reading →

Each morning, just after 6.30am, the Today programme trails the political agenda for the rest of the day. I notice that this seems to be restricted to the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrats. Given the UKIP are showing a poll rating double that of the LibDems, don’t you think this is unfair? It’s as if the BBC want to cut off any oxygen of supply to Farage and his colleagues.

I enjoyed this. It’s the BBC’s rightwing bias that is the threat to democracy and journalism So says the BBC’s much loved “pundit” Owen Jones, aged 13 and three quarters.

You would need a heart of stone not to laugh. The UK’s economy grew at a faster pace than initially estimated last year, revised official figures show. The economy grew by 0.6% in the final three months of 2014, up from the previous estimate of 0.5%, the Office for National Statistics said. The unexpected increase meant growth for the year was 2.8%, higher than the earlier estimate of 2.6%. Then … Continue reading →

      We’ve had Norman Smith declaring the Tory economy as ‘utterly terrifying’ and forecasting something of an Orwellian ‘Wigan Pier’ type future for the country and now we have Evan Davis declaring that Tory comments on Labour’s plans to raise £3000 worth of taxes from every family over 5 yearswere ‘ridiculous’. But are they?  The IFS within hours of the Tory claim leapt into action to denounce it … Continue reading →

    What is the price of betrayal these days?  It used to be 30 pieces of silver when the religious took to persecuting a man they didn’t like. The Church Of England seems to have forgotten its origins, its history and its own religious principles when it makes completely spurious allegations about someone it wants to turn into a hate figure because of his politics. Simon Heffer defends his … Continue reading →

    Not BBC bias per se but evidence of the hypocrisy and attempts to use race as an issue to silence people that is so redolent of the left…..including the BBC….for example the BBC’s Phil Mackie trying to claim that the fuss over the Trojan Horse plot was all about racism, Islamophobia and paranoia.     Labour MP Simon Danczuk seems to be of like mind when votes are … Continue reading →

Well, Parliament has been dissolved and the Election is on. The BBC start their coverage on the Today programme by going to Newcastle, a Labour redoubt.  Where to tomorrow? Liverpool perhaps? Maybe Rotherham …well then again, maybe not there #awkward.

Here you go, on-time and ready for completion. Detail the BIAS here. As we approach the General Election in May, the greater the menace presented by the far from impartial BBC. It’s clear they want to see Miliband in Number Ten and they are ensuring the daily narrative directs towards that outcome.

    Listening to the news on R4 and there was no mention of the Front National in the French elections…a following report on the Today programme eventually mentioned them and I got the impression that they had received a drubbing from the French electorate, especially when the correspondent told us that the voters had ‘united to keep them out’ then continuing with the claim that ‘it was a good … Continue reading →
