The Boston Bombs were, according to the BBC, the work of right wing white supremacists….as ‘all the evidence pointed to’ according to Evan Davis and Mark Mardell. Similarly a mosque is allegedly firebombed in Sweden and the implied culprits are ‘far right, anti-immigration, neo-nazis’…never mind no one has been arrested and there is absolutely no evidence that indicated this….and what is more the BBC refuses to investigate the well … Continue reading
The BBC has been blitzing us with tales of doom about the ‘crisis’ in the NHS…a target of 95% of patients seen to inside of 4 hours at A&E….the crisis being that only 92.6% has been achieved. The NHS is crumbling…never mind it was recently named as the best health service in the West and other health services do not have anywhere near as stringent targets. Notably the BBC … Continue reading
Something to chew on as you watch, listen or read BBC reports on the NHS. Labour claims about the NHS and what the Tories intend to do with it are even less credible than claims Man Utd will sign Ched Evans. The BBC rather disengenuously tells us that Reports over the weekend suggested that Labour is set to make the health service a key election battleground should come as … Continue reading
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6sr1kkCzr0 Judging by today’s Labour love-in at the BBC its going to be a very, very long 5 months or so till the election…..Perhaps we should just take it for granted that the BBC will be biased in Labour’s favour and shut up shop for the duration. Today was pretty full on and it might indeed take the dedicated forensic skills of Hercule Poirot to untangle … Continue reading
The BBC never fails to disappoint. I caught BBC radio 4 “Today” mocking the Conservative’s claims regarding Labour’s budget busting spending plans should they get back into power; then turned on BBC1 News to hear them give weird Ed Miliband a chance to rubbish the Conservatives. Not a sniff of bias there, no sirree. Anyway here is a NEW Open Thread.
You may have noticed the prominence the BBC gave on Saturday to Labour’s statements on the NHS….or rather statements to come, for Labour were supposed to be making those statements today. The BBC chose to highlight Miliband’s future statements in preference to the Tories’ actual launch of its election campaign….oh for sure the BBC paid that some attention….delighting in telling us that the Tory poster was dishonest….using an article … Continue reading
Alright folks, 2015 begins and here is the first new OPEN THREAD of this fresh year. It’s going to be a BIG year here in the UK as the Nation goes to the polls to elect a new Government. We can be confident of but one thing – the BBC will do everything possible to damage the prospects of UKIP and the Conservative party. The floor is yours…
The BBC were quick to spot these trends: Sydney cafe: Australians say to Muslims “I’ll ride with you” And this: #BBCtrending: The racist video that’s shocked Australia Strangely not so interested in this trending video: “‘How to Stab a Jew’ Going Viral on Palestinian Authority Social Media,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS6BHBai2Ug The “resisters of occupation in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem” are spreading on … Continue reading
Is Lenny Henry racist? Lenny Henry believes that the colour of your skin determines how you act and think. That is racist. Even Obama thinks it is: There’s no “authentic” way to be black, President Barack Obama told a group. Henry complains that ‘news in Britain comes from one perspective. A perspective that is almost exclusively white, and predominantly male.’ Henry is clearly a … Continue reading
Publishers Harper Collins apparently wiped Israel off the map in atlases for sale in the Middle East, can’t upset those tolerant Muslims. Apparently Jordan is now Palestine according to the map……but we knew that anyway….funny no one objects to Muslim Jordan being created out of a large chunk of Palestine by the British. Harper Collins claims it was a printing error. Of course it was. … Continue reading
