We’ve had Alvin Hall’s interesting and original treatment of Black musical history on the BBC and now we have another attempt to rewrite it and turn everything any Black person ever did or said in history into an act of resistance against the white ‘Massa’….. Dr Hepcat and the Hepster’s Dictionary In this programme we hear about the music of Cab Calloway and his ‘Hepster’s Dictionary’ the roots … Continue reading →

  Peter Allen told us yesterday that ‘It is very difficult to wake up the world and make it care about North Korea.’ Of course no one takes North Korea seriously.  Thank God that we have the BBC to remind us of what a dangerous and nasty regime it is! Of course the BBC, in the shape of John Sweeney, had a famous stab at uncovering North Korea as they … Continue reading →

A guy without a television has successfully sued TV Licensing for costs incurred dealing with its threatening demands for payment. In a wonderful twist he even threatened to send in the bailiffs. Read all about it at the TV Licensing Blog.

    The Brand wagon keeps on rolling courtesy of the People’s BBC.

  What can I say? There isn’t much you can say about the BBC’s fawning submission to the unstoppable prophet of kooky pap, Russell Brand. What could say it all is that this, em, genuine, ‘exclusive extract’, from Brand’s new booky wooky, courtesy of Michael Deacon at the Telegraph, isn’t the authentic Brand revealing his deepest and most cherished, fantastical imaginings but you’d be forgiven for thinking it was……Katz must … Continue reading →

None so totalitarian as the BBC; The BBC is using laws designed to catch terrorists and organised crime networks to track down people who dodge the licence fee, it emerged yesterday. The publicly-funded corporation uses the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), designed by the last Labour government to fight terrorism, to catch those who evade paying the £145.50 fee. Now, however, its ability to use sweeping surveillance powers could be … Continue reading →
