Barefaced Cheek

    Lord Hall has spoken.… The BBC will not change, it will not respond to criticism, it will not bow to naked bullying of those who demand accountability, transparency and reporting of a balanced and impartial nature. He also says his reporters will report ‘without fear or favour’….really? Publish this then:     Not this….     Hall says… “There may be some – I hope only a few … Continue reading

Media Hasan

    Personally, I’ve never quite understood why so many of my co-religionists are so keen to kill or maim those who ‘insult’ Islam, Prophet Muhammad or the Quran.

That’s one ‘backlash’ … Continue reading
