The BBC’s Omerta

  It once again looks like the BBC is reluctant to shine a light upon its own dark corners.  We know of the puzzling expenditure of £300,000 to cover up the Balen Report and what is presumably its excoriating criticism of the BBC’s anti-Israel reporting but what else lies hidden in the shadows at Aunty Beeb? The Mail reports that the BBC has shelved a interview critical of the BBC … Continue reading

Emwazi Waterboarded With Beer and Whiskey By MI6

  Poor old Mohammed Emwazi, there he was off to enjoy a bit of sun and safari in Tanzania when he was rudely renditioned by Daniel Craig who force fed him alcoholic beverages and savoury pork scratchings in the aircraft toilets to discredit him in the eyes of his fellow Muslims and then shipped him home to a secret location where MI5 tortured him with rolled up copies of the … Continue reading

AVOIDANCE

The headline is a confection.

WHEN MICHAEL PORTILLO IS RIGHT YOU KNOW THINGS ARE WRONG

Don’t know if you watched the Andrew Neil hosted This Week last night? Mr Neil continues to be the exception that proves the rule regarding BBC bias. He is scrupulously even handed and should be what all BBC journalism aspires to. Instead, he is the aberration but nonetheless always worth watching. Last evening he interviewed Asim Qureshi, the “research director” at “human rights” organisation CAGE. Asim is a vile piece of … Continue reading

The Tories’ ‘Deadly’ NHS Reforms

Who needs facts when you can just make stuff up.  Vote Tory and your relatives will die in hospital. Two things you can be sure of in life…death and taxes…and that the BBC will lie through its teeth to put Labour back in power. OK…Three things that you can be sure of in life…. When reports about events at Stafford Hospital finally came out the BBC ducked and dived to … Continue reading
