Once again you have to ask serious questions about the BBC’s news bulletins which reduce a story to the very minimum in such a way that the facts are so distorted that they give the listener or viewer a very misleading idea of events. Welfare minister Lord Freud has been heard to say that ‘disabled people aren’t worth the minimum wage.’ I was listening in the car to the … Continue reading →

          From 1976 to 2013 a total of 1,716 people died from Ebola.  Around 45 a year.  Kind of puts things into perspective.   Ebola is being treated as if it were a nuclear bomb ready to detonate and contaminate vast swathes of the world, a huge threat that the drugs industry has ignored despite having known about it for nearly 40 years. The BBC is … Continue reading →

  Climate models, the tools used to carve up the economy to suit the socialist dreamers, aren’t as reliable as they told us they were. The BBC admits….. Climate change: Models ‘underplay plant CO2 absorption’   Remember that the BBC has in effect banned Lord Lawson from the BBC on the basis that ‘ Lord Lawson’s views on climate change: “are not supported by the evidence from computer modelling and … Continue reading →

What a bit of luck the BBC can slide its hand into our wallets and extract that license tax. Just imagine if it had to finance THIS sort of indulgence itself… The BBC has spent more than £220,000 on iPhone lessons for staff. Figures have revealed the corporation spent licence fee payers’ money teaching 783 employees how to properly use the gadget over a period of three years. This works out at … Continue reading →

Anyone else watched Darragh MacIntyre’s 30 minute undermining of Nigel Farage on Panorama? Shocking bias. As someone else has pointed out, what a PITY the Panorama team never did a similar job on Jimmy Savile.

    The Today programme investigated ‘Chinaphobia’(08:20) and brought us Sir Christopher Frayling, art historian, and Trannia Brannigan from the Guardian, in to enlighten us. Frayling thinks Chinaphobia is alive and kicking and has informed all our perceptions and actions towards China and made us reach conclusions about China that are undeserved and prejudiced. Remarkably perhaps, Trannia, from the Guardian, actually took issue with him and undermined his argument. Personally … Continue reading →

Morning all. Time for a brand new week and a brand new Open Thread! The floor is yours!

    There’s this from the Telegraph: Scrap the Climate Change Act to keep the lights on, says Owen Paterson   And this from the Mail: Britain will run out of electricity unless it axes green target, warns ex-Minister   And then there is this from the BBC:             …a big fat nothing.   Still when they get round to it here’s the format….a quick … Continue reading →

    Interesting take on the world from the BBC. It has been telling us recently that Turkey is in a dilemma concerning ISIS.  On the one hand it doesn’t want a terrorist state on its borders, on the other it doesn’t want to see the Kurds becoming more established and powerful. So Turkey has plumped to support ISIS…probably not too hard a decision for the Islamist Erdogan who no … Continue reading →

    Robert Peston wants to take over the world…the BBC has spent years railing against the ‘world’s policeman’ role taken on by the West but all change now, apparently it is a vital part of a healthy and wealthy world….and it gives the BBC another stick to beat ‘The West’ with as, for example,  Ebola is declared all the fault of ‘The West’ by the BBC… The West’s failure … Continue reading →
