The BBC has produced a report that looks to the future…the present not being too hot. 2022: Towards 500 million It essentially says the BBC should be seeking to grab more audience for its digital output…‘towards 500 million’ not surprisingly. And it’s not, obviously, 500 million in the UK…despite UKIP predictions…it’s worldwide. So your licence fee is going to be funding the Good News around the globe…in … Continue reading
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. —Job 38:2-3 Why is the James O’Brien interview with Farage important and on a blog about BBC bias? LBC isn’t the BBC but O’Brien’s opinions, and they are merely opinion with a good dollop of prejudice, typify the attitudes and … Continue reading
Our new friend ‘Hendy’, who also posts comments under the names of Rodrigo, Leonard, Marvin, Benji and Harvey, amongst many others, posts this bold claim: Alan, you become more and more ludicrous with each post. You must be the only one left defending Farage’s comments. Even the man himself isn’t anymore. You must be really, really tired in that case! No one is defending Farage’s comments you … Continue reading
Hi everyone. I have been away for a short break and even better, a complete break from the BBC. Just back in time to listen to the lead story on BBC Today this morning trot out some asinine excuses for Boko Haram’s actions in Nigeria. It appears that “Poverty” and the acts of the army are to blame for the savagery carried out there. Nothing to do with Islam, oh … Continue reading
More context for the UKIP debate……. The most damaging (They hope) attacks on Nigel Farage were as a result of him being asked if he would like to have a house load of Romanian men move in next door to him…he said he wouldn’t appreciate that based on the evidence….this was leapt upon as proof of his racism when James O’Brien in his LBC interview with Farage raised this … Continue reading
Is the BBC biased’s Sue has spotted that the BBC has apologised to Peter Hitchens for misrepresenting his views on UKIP. On Sunday Hitchens was in the Mail with this: Here is the best reason for voting UKIP I don’t like UKIP or its leader, Nigel Farage. They are the Dad’s Army of British politics, doddery, farcical and very unclear about what they are actually for. But they have … Continue reading
The BBC puts this on its frontpage: Street clashes force Nigel Farage no-show Nothing about this though, even on its Sheffield page: Mass brawl erupts between rival groups of youths in area where former Home Secretary David Blunkett warned of rioting due to influx of Roma immigrants Considering the furore over Farage’s claims about immigration you’d have thought this story might be of great interest. Another … Continue reading
Christianity and Capitalism…The Two Evils Of Our Time. The Springwatch co-host and outspoken naturalist, Chris Packham, declared that economic growth is a ‘recipe for disaster’ and blamed Christianity for allowing humans to think that they can exploit the planet’s resources. So pretty much the normal BBC view of the world then.
Gabby Logan admits tax avoidance but vows to pay it back Gabby Logan is the latest household name to admit being part of the tax avoidance scheme used by Gary Barlow and Colin Jackson. The sports presenter invested thousands into Icebreaker, a company which purported to support young musicians. However, a recent court ruling said the firm was “understood by all concerned to be a tax avoidance scheme”. … Continue reading
The Submarine Service is often called the ‘Silent Service’ but perhaps that could be as well applied to the BBC whose silence on matters Miliband is remarkable and where all his inglorious episodes sink without trace having made hardly a ripple in the BBC news at all….despite the most recent inglorious escapade having actually happened in a local BBC radio station interview. Two stories came out today that … Continue reading
