Remember the delight of the BBC when research used by some to support austerity policies was found to have an error in its calculations…the BBC filled the airwaves with the news and gave us extensive briefings on the subject eulogising the clever lad who caught the profs out: Reinhart, Rogoff… and Herndon: The student who caught out the profs And Reinhart and Rogoff correct austerity research error … Continue reading
In the last post I suggested that the BBC’s liberal, politically correct attitudes were partly responsible for the rise in anti-Semitism across Europe and elsewhere…the same could of course be said for the rise of UKIP as Tim Montgomerie explains: The Ten Creators of UKIP Illiberal liberals. I support gay marriage (shamefully, I was resistant to homosexual equality but now have the zeal of a convert) but, but, … Continue reading
Who are the worst anti-Semites in Europe according to the statistics? Muslims and the Left. Not who’d you’d expect if you listen to the BBC’s everyday coverage from which you’d think it was the ‘Far Right’ which was about to sweep to power and set up concentration camps once more across Europe. The BBC admits: Anti-Semitism ‘on the rise’ say Europe’s Jews Jews are once again being … Continue reading
The Sunday Times reports: ‘Christians Offer Safe Houses To Muslim Converts’ Now why the hell would they need to do that in secular, democratic Britain where Muslims are tolerant and live by the guiding light of the Religion of Peace?

But mostly so far the last, best I can see. … Continue reading
DC Alden, author of the excellent The Horse of the Gates, and a reader of this august journal (!) shares the following with us; “I’m sure you’re probably aware by now but there was a newspaper review on BBC News this morning with a female Muslim blogger. She began with a piece about Christians offering sanctuary to Muslims wishing to leave Islam’s embrace. I didn’t catch the whole package but … Continue reading

First broadcast: Friday 07 March 2014 Fearne creates a Girl Power Playlist in honour of International Women’s Day, including tracks from the likes of Beyonce, Miley, Adele and even some Dolly Parton!!! And there was this: Girl Power: … Continue reading
This item was posted by my colleague Mike Cunningham over on A Tangled Web and I think it warrants your consideration. “Listening on the Beeb’s Today Programme to what must be considered a true favourite of the BBC’s way of group-think. The woman being interviewed had a son who had been kidnapped by the Nigerian Boko Haram bunch of criminal terrorists, and he had been killed during a rescue attempt. The woman … Continue reading
Here you go, an really early Open Thread for your use!!! Try to restrict your European election analysis to THAT thread and let’s keep this for other issues. I am out of the UK on business for a few days, back mid week!
Right. It’s time for a new thread to discuss BBC coverage of the EUROPEAN elections results as they roll in! I see the Front National have topped the poll in France…
