The BBC completely ignored Labour donor John Mills’ claim that Miliband will not actually honour his promise to freeze energy prices….a pretty damning claim as that policy was central to Miliband’s politics….his ‘flagship policy’. However the BBC have immediately jumped on SSE’s announcement that they are going to freeze prices for a year slamming it on their frontpage as the second most important story and are claiming … Continue reading →

Seen this from the BBC? “British winters are likely to become milder and wetter like the last one but cold spells still need to be planned for, says the UK Met Office. Summers are likely to be hotter and drier, but washouts are still on the cards, it adds.” So, plan for all sorts. Met Office covering all the odds whilst still flogging AGW. Just wait until the IPCC hits!!!

I have had a tsunami of outraged emails from Biased BBC readers concerning the bizarre and OTT sanitisation of former Co-Op boss Paul Flowers by the BBC today. It seems the Coalition is to blame for the implosion of the Bank and as for Mr Flowers…erm…”colourful”private life, well, I blame Thatcher. Thoughts? Just WHY is the BBC leading all UK news with the hideous self-pity bleating of Flowers??

      Miliband’s proposed energy price freeze was apparently a game changing political moment, one that dramatically caught the headlines….so why does the BBC not report one of his backers claiming that Miliband will not honour his promise?   We’ve long been off the opinion that Miliband is as much a windbag as Kinnock ever was…his ‘policies’ being mere populist piffle designed to catch the headlines….and they were very … Continue reading →

    Peter Allen ambushed me…he was lurking as presenter on Derbyshire’s show  (1 hr 50)….telling us that inflation is going down…but only ‘on the government’s measure of inflation’. And we all know you can’t trust that don’t we children? BUT….He went on to say that food prices are going to rise by 3.8%…and your wages just won’t keep up with that….it’s a very big story he tells us….never mind … Continue reading →

  Daniel Hannan thinks a subscription form of funding will be the end of the BBC: Budgets come and go, but something more far-reaching will take place in the House of Commons today; something that might change our political discourse significantly, benignly and permanently. The Government has indicated that it will back a Bill, brought in by the backbench MP, Andrew Bridgen, to decriminalise non-payment of the Television Licence Fee. … Continue reading →

    Tony Benn was widely lauded for his staunch convictions……remaining a trenchant champion of hardline, radical leftwing ideology….Miliband claiming he was an “iconic figure of our age…. a great parliamentarian and a conviction politician.“ “Tony Benn spoke his mind and spoke up for his values. Whether you agreed with him or disagreed with him, everyone knew where he stood and what he stood for. “For someone of such strong … Continue reading →

    Just been listening to Today (around 07:35) where they’ve had on a couple of cheerleaders for the TV Tax…Former chairman of the BBC Lord Grade and shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman …..Justin Webb suggesting that if the BBC had called it a ‘Tax’ it would have been OK to throw people into jail..they’d have understood and accepted that….tipping their caps and exclaiming ‘Gord bless ya gov’nor, I done … Continue reading →
