ALTERNATIVES?

What do you make of this then? Labour’s deputy leader, Harriet Harman, says the BBC should investigate alternatives to the licence fee, in case a better option exists. She told Total Politics magazine that the licence fee was a means to an end, not an end in itself. She said if there was “a better way” to secure independence from the government, “let’s hear about it”. Her comments came a day after comedy producer Armando … Continue reading

Hunger Games

  It is incredible what nonsense some politicians, amongst others, are allowed to get away with on the BBC. Labour’s Frank Field came out with a doucey yesterday (6 mins) when talking about recycling unused food to charities and how the systems for doing so are not good enough claiming that: ‘…This practice has grown up [in the past], it was clearly very wrong [even] in times when people in … Continue reading

What Would Gandhi Do?

  Janet Daley asks the question the ‘elite’ should be asking themselves: ‘It has become received wisdom that the reason for that massive electoral rebellion against the EU was that the people were throwing a harmless tantrum: they were just letting off steam because they knew that their votes in this election did not matter.’ And what do people do next when they realise that their votes don’t matter?   … Continue reading

Spinning The Migration Figures

    The BBC have seen the uncomfortable shadow of UKIP and its popular immigration policies upsetting the cosy apple cartel of elitist politicians and their media friends who want to keep the doors firmly propped open.

The BBC Monster Crushing Competition

    Channel 4 News editor Ben de Pear: ‘We are like an ant versus Goliath when it comes to the BBC’   Channel 4 News editor Ben de Pear has mixed feelings about the BBC. He sees Newsnight as his main rival and variously describes the corporation as “stifling”, “crippling” and “a monster”. Equally, though, he speaks with relish about the level of competition it offers him. “I think … Continue reading

WORLD CLASS JOURNALISM

Don’t you think it a little strange that despite its vast resources and all those “world class” journos it employs (at our expense) the BBC might have picked up on the fact that a French-based Muslim extremist has been arrested on suspicion of having slaughtered four Jewish people in Brussels last week? Still, at LEAST it is bringing us the breaking news that climate change is going to be the … Continue reading

Immigration? It’s all A Myth Spun By The Media

    Nicky Campbell ran a phone in about the state of the economy…notably several callers said that when they raised the question of a pay rise with their bosses the answer was ‘There are plenty of East Europeans who will do it for a lot less’. Whilst Campbell eventually highlighted such comments this is what the BBC’s economic genius from Wake Up to Money, Adam Parsons, said in response … Continue reading
