‘ …a sobering and disturbing tale, and a reminder that intelligence and a lifelong devotion to “truth” is no protection whatever against believing that the most brutal, stupid, dangerous and unethical ideology is the greatest achievement of mankind.’  Philosophy’s shameful love     Three examples of where the BBC reports something in a different way depending on what ‘narrative’ it is trying to push…..   Firstly…. The BBC’s Matt McGrath … Continue reading →

Well, hasn’t the BBC been swooning at the visits by Sinn Fein leader Martin McGuinness to a few events with Her Majesty this past week? And the BBC now even comes out with the line that McGuinness WAS indeed  a “former IRA commander”. The curious bit is this; these world class journalists NEVER think to ask just what did he command when he was in a senior position with this … Continue reading →

  Time for a new one…floor is yours….

  via Bishop Hill The GWPF has done a report examining the teaching of climate in schools….. The report also describes how activist teachers try to make children become the footsoldiers of the green movement, encouraging them to harass their schoolmates and pester their parents to bring about “behaviour change”. The use of fear of climate change to alter children’s behaviour is also highlighted. The report quotes one child as … Continue reading →

    Ian Hislop has a new BBC programme (tonight BBC2 21:00)….Ian Hislop’s Olden Days…. Ian Hislop’s Olden Days, The Power of the Past in Britain, explores a cultural history of Britain’s idealised past and our fondness for yesterday.   You can see why the BBC likes that…..destroying the ‘myths’ that surround the Nation…you’re not really who you think…..you’re not as good as you think…your national identity is a fraud … Continue reading →

    Maria Miller has resigned. The various factions are lining up to exploit it, or downplay it, for their own political ends.  The BBC is not above such things.   Humphrys was having  a bash at Gove this morning laying out the case against Cameron…..he’s out of touch and his judgment is flawed…it’s ok to be compassionate and to defend your people but you have to take hard decisions … Continue reading →
