(A guest post by Graeme Thompson who comments as ‘hippiepooter’) ‘No word on TODAY ‘notes MEP and Telegraph blogger Daniel Hannan.  What on earth, in Mr Hannan’s view, could merit a ‘word’ on Britain’s flagship radio news programme that it doesn’t get? This. An election candidate arrested for quoting Winston Churchill’s unflattering observations on Islam. The election candidate in question, Paul Weston of Liberty GB, notes on his party’s website, … Continue reading →

    By coincidence as I posted on the BBC’s latest dumbing down by harvesting the ‘social media’ for news John Lloyd seems to agree that the BBC is heading for a fall…at least as far as its comedy is concerned as real comedy competes with “any w—– who’s flown in from Middlesbrough who says “I’ve got 3,000 hits on YouTube with my animation.”:   Television comedy is now a … Continue reading →

      The BBC has hit upon a convenient and deniable way of spreading propaganda, rumour and innuendo….they report twitter, Youtube and other social media offerings as ‘what’s trending’ at the moment…which is just a high tech way of mud slinging most of the time…..it could be any old rubbish, much of it highly political, based on the highly prejudiced and unprincipled mobilisation onTwitter etc of particular activist groups…especially … Continue reading →

    Today’s Any Questions deals with rent control and food banks amongst other topics.   Here’s some questions for Dimbleby to raise:   1.  The Labour Party wishes to impose rent controls on the private sector to limit rent price increases…..are those rent increases the result of Labour Party immigration policies when in government that have seen hundreds of thousands of immigrants pour into this country each year for … Continue reading →

      Nothing about this on the BBC website: An Muslim man dressed up like a ‘panto’ Englishman to taunt his neighbours boasting of his ‘joy’ over 9/11 and the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby, a court has heard.   But as said before the BBC publishes a long tract deploring a Wikiedia entry, removed instantly, that mocked Muslims, and tells us how offended Muslims are and how … Continue reading →

    Polly Toynbee let the cat out of the bag…after years of insisting that immigration  makes us wealthier Toynbee reveals that the real position is that a bigger population merely makes the economy bigger whilst not actually benefiting anybody: “The whole economy has only got bigger because we’ve got more people.”   There might be a bigger economy but it’s not more productive and is shared out between more … Continue reading →

  Sam Bowman, research director at the Adam Smith Institute, says that “rent control is a stunningly bad idea that could devastate Britain’s cities and clobber renters. To paraphrase the socialist economist Assar Lindbeck: the only thing worse for cities than rent control is bombing them.”   Labour bombing the poor? Labour have been trawling their box of good ideas and come up with yet another wizard wheeze to lessen the … Continue reading →

  Labour leader Ed Miliband is expected to put forward plans to outlaw the exploitative use of zero-hour contracts.  Len McCluskey, general secretary of Unite says…. Zero-hours contracts create a throwaway workforce. They form a one-way street, whereby employers bear no risk, avoiding sickness and holiday pay and overtime.     Victoria Derbyshire was conducting a phone-in asking what it is you like about Zero Hour Contracts. Plenty of people … Continue reading →

      Not a word from the Muslim Council of Britain about those insults on the BBC….and yet when the BBC makes a frontpage splash with this: Wikipedia edit from government computer added Muslim insult   ……they’re all over it: Nasima Begum, a spokeswoman for the Muslim Council of Britain, told the BBC: “It is these types of attitudes that create an unnecessary climate of fear and hostility. “It … Continue reading →
