On Thursday Martin Lewis, financial guru, kicked off about the media’s scaremongering about student loans (12:22)…Victoria Derbyshire is particularly guilty of this….having camped out on several student protests on the issue without making any real  effort to detail the way the student loan system works nor to challenge the student’s claims about the system….and many, many politically motivated comments from guests go uncorrected on BBC programmes about this … Continue reading →

  Jon Donnison has been shipped out of Gaza back to his new stomping ground in Oz.  Lucky them. Still, it hasn’t stopped him bothering us with his anti-Israel schmutter:         Donnison has many, many other fascinating insights about Gaza but oddly not much about Australia.   I won’t bore you with the complete run down but he also links to the other usual suspect, Kevin Connolly:   … Continue reading →

We are ready.” Local politician Antonio French, who was with the protesters, tweeted to say: “Too many young men talking about they’re ready to die tonight.”     H/T  TPO … Continue reading →

As many have noted in the comments the BBC, at least on the web,  has completely ignored the ransacking of a Tescos store by mostly Muslim ‘Asians’ in Birmingham….’a group of Asian men holding Palestinian flags came walking in and starting to push products over and getting aggressive with staff and shoppers.’ The BBC does however have this as their top story from Birmingham: Thousands at Eid Mela celebration Organisers … Continue reading →

    Here’s some context to the immigration ‘debate’…..what will uncontrolled immigration and an open borders policy bring us?  What indeed has it brought us?     If we’d been able to select who to let into this country perhaps such an attack would never have happened. Politicians and the media who support mass immigration are to blame for such crimes.     The future…..a prediction from 2006: 2012 to … Continue reading →
