Things have gone pearshaped once again so here’s an emergency open thread….

        When you consider how ready the BBC is to plaster the thoughts of Chairman Brand all over the airwaves when he really hasn’t got anything of any originality or coherence to say it is surprising that when the Labour leader and his mansion tax policy is pretty much destroyed by another ‘celebrity’ we don’t hear a thing about it on the BBC….all the more surprising as … Continue reading →

  Yesterday the BBC’s security correspondent Frank Gardner treated us to his big hope….he thought that the West and its allies may consider ISIS to be such a threat that they decide to put boots on the ground… Frank said ‘I really hope that’s not the case.’ Thanks Frank for your personal opinion. Today he continued the theme informing us that military actions just don’t work and that good policing … Continue reading →

Well then, one can argue as to whether Kim Kardashian’s posterior “broke the internet” but last week saw our server “break” and cause a lot of hassle. My thanks to Rob and Geoff for fixing things but as you can see some posts vanished along with the comment threads which is VERY annoying. Anyway, let’s hope for a pain free week. And whilst I am at it, I had asked … Continue reading →

    This is from the Telegraph…so far the BBC has refrained from being drawn in…. 2014 on track to be one of the wettest years on record Unusually rainy November and December could make 2014 the wettest year since records began   The Telegraph is quoting the Met. Office and that old fraud Bob Ward (who isn’t a scientist) who tells us….. Mr Ward said the trend for wetter … Continue reading →

  We have looked at the BBC’s ever growing commercial empire and massive influence in the media world that distorts the market for the genuinely commercial operators who haven’t got a tax payer funded safety net to cushion them in bad times and which allows the BBC to experiment and fail without penalty. The Guardian is complaining bitterly about the BBC moving in on its territory in Australia…it shouldn’t worry … Continue reading →

  I don’t know the truth about this but it wouldn’t be the first time the BBC’s Panorama programme has cobbled together some very dodgy ‘evidence’ related to Murdoch and his businesses and using very suspect sources to beef up their story…… Mazher Mahmood speaks out about BBC: ‘Deeply misleading… sources not credible… hell bent on broadcasting’ Sun reporter Mazher Mahmood has accused the BBC of giving “deeply misleading reasons” … Continue reading →

    Must be something in the air…Is The BBC Biased notes that Muslim Aaqil Ahmed, in charge of the BBC’s religious programming, has decided to broaden the appeal of Songs of Praise and spread the joy around, broadcasting from many places of worship and denomination…but definitely will not be heading Mosqueward…until of course we hear of a lovely, joyous coming together of Christians and Muslims, evidence of the tolerance, … Continue reading →

  A little earlier listening to 5Live I was urged to keep listening as I would be treated to an investigation into the hidden child hunger epidemic sweeping the land. Who knew? It must have been very well hidden as I have always been led to believe that the problem was one of an epidemic of child obesity….sweeping the land….from the Telegraph… Schoolchildren refused second helpings at lunch in obesity … Continue reading →

  The BBC’s coverage of the FIFA world cup scandal has been woeful. FIFA released a report that exonerated Russia and Qatar from accusations of corruption in the bidding process for the World Cup…however England and Australia were singled out for special attention. The BBC failed completely to question FIFA’s decision and concentrated almost solely on England’s claimed abuses. Now that might seem extraordinary considering the background to the story … Continue reading →
