“We are going to frame the issue of climate change as more of a distributional issue,” said Dr Petersen.       Remember this very negative report about gas from Harrabin, ooh what, 3 days ago?… UN set to warn countries over ‘dash for gas‘ Governments are likely to be warned next week that a “dash for gas” will not solve climate change. A draft report for the United … Continue reading →

    Harrabin is still out there smearing those who do not believe…. In one report he states: [Pickles has banned windfarms because of pressure from the right wing press suggests Harrabin…..] Communities Secretary Eric Pickles has staged a minor coup over coalition energy policy. Conservative newspapers have been demanding a cap on onshore wind farms, but the Lib Dems have refused to agree…..the Liberal Democrats, accused him of playing … Continue reading →

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtevF4B4RtQ       Remarkable isn’t it….climate sceptics are denounced as unqualified bloggers or lay persons with vested interests and therefore shouldn’t be able to criticise the consensus or be given due weight by the BBC…..however someone who supports that consensus, however unqualified, is welcome to comment…in fact the BBC will go out of its way to assure you that such a person is a ‘simple, unqualified, layperson’ merely … Continue reading →

  I see any definition of ‘dangerous climate change’ as a political act not a scientific fact. Who said that?  Dr Joe Smith in a moment of weakness…he being Roger Harrabin’s sidekick at the climate propaganda unit CMEP.     James Lovelock was the Green’s hero….when he claimed the earth was in peril from man’s exploitation. Not so much now. Lovelock has become the hate figure, the apostate, of the … Continue reading →

    It was fine, the BBC believed, to fling the Bible into the rubbish bin but not the Koran.   It seems that type of thinking is not just for Christians….the BBC is quite ready to report ‘concerns’ about certain communities, Buddhists in Burma were denounced as religiously inspired killers not long ago whilstthe BBC was claiming Islamic terrorists are ‘perverting the religion’, and now it seems elections in … Continue reading →

    Ed Miliband has been visiting Israel.   Does Nick Robinson ask Miliband any difficult questions or any about his attitude towards ‘Israel’? No.  What Robinson does do is give Miliband an open platform to say what he likes without challenge, in other words a cosy little ‘fireside’ chat revealing to us just how wonderful Ed really is…not just wonderful but wise and thoughtful, statesmanlike….in essence a bit of … Continue reading →

  Why no mention of this part of Cameron’s Easter Message on the BBC?: As we celebrate Easter, let’s also think of those who are unable to do so, the Christians around the world who are ostracised, abused — even murdered — simply for the faith they follow. Religious freedom is an absolute, fundamental human right. Britain is committed to protecting and promoting that right, by standing up for Christians … Continue reading →

  The BBC give Labour a free pass as they propagate their ‘research’: School places: Labour warns of primary school ‘crisis’ in England One in four councils believe there is a “real crisis in primary school places” looming for this September in England, according to Labour’s shadow education secretary.     But why is there this ‘crisis’?   Could it be that it is Labour who created it by flinging … Continue reading →

  Having a mooch through the Feedback site I see Roger Bolton has a few thoughts on the internal workings of the BBC such as this about Woman’s Hour: As you well know BBC programmes are supposed to be impartial but I’m not sure if that can be said of Woman’s Hour, at least when it comes to feminism. Woman’s Hour is in fact a powerful advocate for women’s empowerment. … Continue reading →
