Chutzpah (/ˈhʊtspə/ or /ˈxʊtspə/) is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. The Yiddish word derives from the Hebrew word ḥutspâ (חֻצְפָּה), meaning “insolence”, “cheek” or “audacity”.   Curious choice of title for this BBC report…With their letter to Iran, US senators show ‘chutzpah’……‘Chutzpah’ being a Jewish word. Is the BBC subtly hinting that this letter is all the work of the ‘Jewish … Continue reading →

    It turns out that despite being paid £500,000 a year by HSBC and having been the Chair of HSBC’s audit committee Rona Fairhead has been unfairly accused of incompetence or a neglectful failure to oversee HSBC’s operations. The BBC’s Today programme (around 06:55) for some reason found reason to doubt Rona Fairhead’s, the Chair of the BBC Trust, complicity and guilt in HSBC’s financial irregularities…despite being Chair of the audit … Continue reading →

The BBC has done everything possible to portray the three London teenage girls who have legged it to Syria to be with the decapitators in Islamic State as “victims” – rather than enemies of the State. In a similar way, their families have been afforded every opportunity to play the victim card and play everyone but themselves for their offspring seeking to be Jihadi Brides, This is when the BBC … Continue reading →

Here you go, a Top Gear approved Mid Week Open thread for you to provide some knock out instances of BBC bias 🙂

  Today we hear from the BBC that ‘Terror ‘apologists’ must share blame – Hammond’ and that ‘ “Apologists” for those who commit acts of terrorism are partly responsible for the violence, Philip Hammond will say. Security services have been criticised over their handling of Mohammed Emwazi – known as “Jihadi John”. With a total brassnecked arrogance and disregard for Hammond’s words and the damning truth about the Islamist group … Continue reading →

  H/T  Pounce…… HSBC hearing – Summary It is not that unusual to see a public figure subject to withering scorn by MPs on a select committee – it is one of the few unadulterated pleasures that parliament offers – but, still, this was astonishing. We’re used to see Keith Vax duff up some hapless copper, or a second-rate council chief. But chair of the BBC Trust is one of … Continue reading →

  As David has noted the BBC has leapt upon the words of ex-chief Superintendent Dal Babu as he tries to discredit the ‘Prevent’ programme….and there is remarkably little comment on the BBC from people who would say otherwise. Discrediting the ‘Prevent’programme is the Holy Grail for Islamic extremists, amongst others, and Babu’s words align neatly with their own rhetoric about the programme and do great damage as they give … Continue reading →

Outrage at the BBC this morning. Guess what? Yes, SOME senior police officers do NOT know the difference between Sunni and Shia Muslims! OMG. So says a former senior Muslim police officer Dal Babu said some officers involved in the programme lacked basic knowledge of race and faith issues. Most Muslims did not trust the programme and many saw it as a form of spying, he said.  He said because police … Continue reading →

A fresh week and election fever is in the air. Can we rely on the BBC to provide the Nation with a balanced coverage of this most important of campaigns? Or might their left wing bias shine through? The floor is yours!

  The BBC are taking the chance to try and smear Thatcher by association… Margaret Thatcher ‘told of Cyril Smith abuse claims’   Oddly they refrain from revealing an essential fact, should you be looking to ‘politicise’ Cyril Smith’s abuse.  Here the BBC reports that…. The dossier on the decision to confer a knighthood on Smith, a former Rochdale MP for both for the Liberal Party and the Liberal Democrats … Continue reading →
