Patten has fled the scene of the crime and space is being booked in the Guardian’s jobs vacant section. But who might be the best candidate for the job as Chairman of the BBC Trust? The Telegraph has a stab at defining the necessary characteristics: The debate about the BBC is one of the most important we will have in this country in the next few years. Unless you … Continue reading →

          Labour has released a video on Youtube which bears a remarkable similarity to the political rants disguised, almost,  as comedy on the Now Show……only funnier. This weeks ‘Now Show’ doesn’t disappoint our low expectations with what is nothing less than an anti-government diatribe (9 mins) with not much sign of comedy…but then it is Marcus Brigstock making a welcome return…don’t know where he’s been but … Continue reading →

    Normally the BBC settles for merely rewriting the past, or just ignoring whole chunks of it (1997-2010 for instance), but today the Beeb treated us to a glimpse into the future.…apparently the vast majority of the  human population will be consigned to the scrap heap living lives of unending poverty and misery whilst a gilded elite exploit us using powerful new technology and reaping all the rewards for … Continue reading →

    Looking up Diane Coyle’s Wikipedia entry and this is what came up today: Diane Coyle, OBE (born February 1961), is a freelance economist and a former advisor to the UK Treasury. She is a member of the UK Competition Commission and is acting Chairman of the BBC Trust, the governing body of the British Broadcasting Corporation.   Thought that was odd…‘acting chairman’…since when?   The answer…someone didn’t waste … Continue reading →

    Jeremy Bowen doesn’t do things by half.  Not content with merely reporting the news, in his own inimitable way, he has decided to play his part in making it, and history along with it, replacing Tony Blair as Middle East Envoy and deciding Israel has logically no right to exist if Palestinians don’t get their demands answered. His reply when asked about the possibility of a one state … Continue reading →

    The BBC were quick to bring you, twice, a story about Jewish school children allegedly being traumatised when taught about the Holocaust. The BBC though never seems to find the time to bring you any reports about the Palestinian education system….       …despite it being quite obviously traumatic…again for the Jews….guess the BBC only cares when it can paint Jews in a bad light….Jews teaching their … Continue reading →

      Is that really why a peace settlement hasn’t been negotiated in the last 20 years…or is it more likely that this is the problem?: In December 2006, Ismail Haniyeh, Prime Minister of the PA, declared that the PA will never recognize Israel: “We will never recognize the usurper Zionist government and will continue our jihad-like movement until the liberation of Jerusalem.” That was in 2006….but just a … Continue reading →

Well then, I have of course been following the BBC’s coverage of the arrest and subsequent release of Gerry Adams. What struck me was the almost palpable euphoria expressed by SOME BBC correspondents when Grisly was released last evening. The Today programme this morning summed it all up when, during an interview with one of Jean McConville’s children, the interview seemed struck dumb when he said he did not trust … Continue reading →

I see the BBC is now actually leading the campaigning against Sugar. Two thirds of people support a ban on sugary drinks in all UK schools and academies, suggests a poll carried out for the BBC. The Populus poll of 1,000 adults in Britain also found more than four out of 10 people would support a tax on sugary drinks. And 59% said warnings on packaging – similar to those on cigarettes … Continue reading →

Bank Holiday arrives and so does this! Enjoy!
