I was sorry to read of the death of RMT Trade Unionist Bob Crowe. He was only 52.  That said, I am a little surprised to see the BBC run this as the LEAD story on their news portal all day. Isn’t this a little over the top? What say you? There is also a deference in their coverage of his untimely death which was noticeably absent when Margaret Thatcher … Continue reading →

    Hot on the heals of Humphrys’ admission that the BBC promotes the all conquering EU we have this prime example of that type of thinking in action: The BBC should say it is based in Manchester instead of Salford in a bid to boost the area’s international reputation, one of the corporation’s star presenters has said. Evan Davis said it was a ‘serious problem’ for Manchester that areas … Continue reading →

    John Humphrys has admitted the BBC is biased in favour of the EU….it has ‘bought into the ideal’   I thought the EU had been the one doing the buying…. The millions in EU funding the BBC tried to hide   John Humphrys says: The BBC has not been sufficiently sceptical on the European Union or immigration, according to John Humphrys, who said staff had let liberal bias … Continue reading →

  Chris Warburton stands in for Victoria Derbyshire this week.   He was discussing this (10:41): BBC to argue for licence fee to be linked to inflation   The Sunday Times reported that the BBC had a preference for a subscription model of funding.   The BBC have leapt on that suggestion and denied it vigorously…. “The report recommends that the BBC pursue an inflationary licence fee increase with greater … Continue reading →

Here you go folks, a new OPEN THREAD to start the week.

  I haven’t paid the Macpherson Report much attention, assuming its conclusions about ‘institutional racism’ to be knee jerk politically correct appeasement of the Black community. Having started to read it nothing has so far disabused me of that…nor has anything reported about the police investigation….more corruption, incompetence and arse covering than racism by the Police.   The BBC of course are more than happy to unquestioningly label it all … Continue reading →

  Paxman sounds as if he’s tired of the whole bally lot of ’em…the peace loving lefties who roam the corridors of the BBC spreading peace and joy….through self-indulgent appeasement. Jeremy Paxman: why we would not fight the Great War now BBC broadcaster Jeremy Paxman suggests Britain is too self-obsessed and hedonistic to become involved in a conflict like the First World War A conflict like the First World War … Continue reading →

    Storyville: 2013-2014:  The Little Nation that Fought Back Oscar-nominated film compiled from the film diary of an Israeli family which over six decades documented the Muslim attempts to erase their country from the map, and them along with it.  David Shalit started filming following the birth of the new nation in 1948.  Surrounded by hostile Muslim countries he filmed as they invaded and the new Israelis begin to … Continue reading →

  The BBC finally get around to reporting this:   ‘Islamic takeover plot’ in Birmingham schools investigated   Although the authorities have been aware of the alleged plot since November, the details have only become public now thanks to the letter which has been widely leaked. We still don’t know whether it’s genuine or a fake, but that’s one of the questions the city council is attempting to answer with … Continue reading →

  The BBC is quick to jump on this proposal: TV licence fee non-payment ‘could be decriminalised’   Amazing how fast the BBC can report a story they have an interest in….they’ve already rounded up a load of viewers and listeners on 5Live (at death O’clock this morning) for their comments….guess what…most support the license…the BBC providing a wonderful service at a reasonable price.
