And as the working week draws to an end, a new OPEN THREAD to see us off into the wide blue yonder of the weekend. Detail the bias.

‘Although you may tolerate Islam, Islam might not tolerate you.’   Yesterday Nicky Campbell asked ‘Would you support an amnesty for Jihadists?’ This was the day after David Cameron denounced such people as ‘enemies of the UK’ and repeated his intention to tackle not just violent Islamists but those who support such Islamists. Last month he told us that… “the root cause of this threat to our security is clear: … Continue reading →

New month and a new Open thread for your attention. This is where you detail the bias!

      The BBC has been caught feeding lies and misinformation to children…. First glance and this is just a story about a mistake, an over eager attempt to improve the image of an historical figure ‘forgotten’ by history but it is far more than that.  It is a perfect example fo the BBC’s world view and how they attempt to manipulate the audience, and quite sinisterly, especially young … Continue reading →

  The BBC is having a crisis.  It hasn’t been able to settle on a position yet on how to report the case for military action against ISIS.

In my search for understanding the motivation of those who joined the race to produce the bomb whose use at Hiroshima and Nagasaki appalled the world, I eventually decided to … Continue reading →

  One of the most popular reports on the BBC website is that the UK economy is in a double dip recession…a story from 2012. Even then it wasn’t a true story: There was no UK double dip recession, ONS data suggests Britain’s double-dip recession may be erased from the history books after the Office for National Statistics said the construction industry grew more strongly than thought at the start … Continue reading →

  Evan Davis was so upset about the homeless migrants in Calais living hand to mouth in makeshift shelters that he cried all the way to his second home in France. He could of course give some of them a room in one of his homes if he cares so much about them. Next time anyone reading this is passing through Calais I recommend you hand out Evan Davis’ email … Continue reading →

I see the BBC are bigging up this welcome news. Hundreds of people have taken part in a protest led by France’s leading Muslim cleric against the beheading of a French hostage by jihadists in Algeria. Dalil Boubakeur, head of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, told the crowd outside the main Paris mosque that the killers had no claim to Islam. He said French Muslims were united against … Continue reading →
