With ISIS and its British recruits dominating the news we are also bombarded with ‘messages’ that parcel out the blame for radicalisng these Jihadi warriors….Western foreign policy being the favoured, default, unthinking but sometimes Machiavellian option. The BBC has always accepted that assertion without challenge…thereby adding to the credibility of the cause for potential recruits to the Jihad…it after all fits in with the BBC’s own agenda about … Continue reading →

  Actually no Haggis were spotted( rare and nocturnal) but this was: Glacier-like hazards found on Ben Nevis Hazards common in arctic and alpine areas but described as “extremely unusual” in the UK during the summer have been found on Ben Nevis. A team of climbers and scientists investigating the mountain’s North Face said snowfields remained in many gullies and upper scree slopes. On these fields, they have come across … Continue reading →

‘There is no rise in the number of reported major floods events over the past 129 years……it is unclear if climate change is implicated in recent flooding.‘   This report demonstrates why the likes of Nigel Lawson should have a place in the debate, the so-called debate, on climate change and its effects. The BBC seems to have done a volte face and is not only reporting things that might … Continue reading →

  The BBC, and most of the other media, use Ajmal Masroor as a Muslim spokesman asking his views on all the current issues concerning Muslims…..such as what would Sharia Britain look like, is it Islamic to punish people so cruelly ( he blames the Old Testament) and why are young Muslims being radicalised? We’ve had a look at him before in ‘Blowback’. Harry’s Place asks: Is Ajmal Masroor an … Continue reading →

Tough one for the BBC. Hamas sources in Gaza say 18 people suspected of collaborating with Israel have been executed. The killings came after an Israeli air strike killed three senior Hamas leaders on Thursday. Two more Palestinians died in overnight strikes. Ah, that all important “context” and of course can one REALLY blame Hamas for MURDERING 18 Gazans when those Joooos are being beastly to Hamas? Note the use … Continue reading →

    Good to hear the BBC raising important issues that prick the social conscience of the nation and remind us of the callous indifference that the Tories have for the suffering of the poorest in society. Last year Labour’s PCC, in Durham, Ron Hogg, launched a new scheme to help those forced into a life of crime by ‘Austerity Britain’: Police going easy on skint shoplifting mums in Austerity … Continue reading →

The decapitation of US journalist James Foley has caused a stirring at the BBC. I was on BBC London this morning and asked if I though the fact that the man who murdered Mr Foley spoke with a London accent was shocking. I said no, and am surprised anyone could be surprised at this. Last year, in LONDON, we saw the virtual decapitation of Lee Rigby by two “British” Muslims … Continue reading →

Here you go and it’s on time. Please detail the bias here. Keep it polite and on topic. The floor is yours…

    Jon Donnison gets ever more bizarre:                           Still relying on children to get people to look at his ‘journalism’ though….                   He’s so popular that he has to limit those who want to read  and respond to his schtick:               Some unfortunately … Continue reading →

    The BBC tells us that…. US President Barack Obama has said the beheading of US journalist James Foley is “an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world”. Mr Obama compared Islamic State (IS), the group which made a video of Mr Foley’s killing, to a “cancer” and said its ideology was “bankrupt”.   I’m not sure why suddenly, when a journalist is killed, this … Continue reading →
