The BBC is bringing you yet more information about immigration that should sooth your worries, lessen your concerns and put to rest all those thoughts you may have had that your country is being invaded, occupied (like the Palestinians?)….all that and they still manage a less than subtle sneer at Nigel Farage…… New year new life in the country for migrant workers? Eric Pickles says he doesn’t know. And Jack … Continue reading →

Here you go, on-time and in place to take us off into the wild blue yonder of the weekend. Spotted any bias from the State Broadcaster? Detail it here please.

    Funny old world…the BBC absolutely refused to cover allegations, covered in depth by Guido, that Tim Yeo, as chairman of the climate change committee, was in any way compromised with so many green business interests resting on the decisions and advice of that committee.   Yeo was then put under investigation by fellow MPs concerning other allegations about lobbying (Sunday Times video on Guido)….and today it has been … Continue reading →

I was listening to an item on the Today programme this morning around 6.4oam. It concerns Obama’s request that NO more sanctions are directed the way of Iran whilst John Kerry and co are trying to cut a deal with the Mullahs. The reporter (with an Irish accent?) was plainly anti-Israel and she actually said that Obama’s legacy was as a President who ENDED wars. Syria? Libya? Afghanistan? Netanyahu was … Continue reading →

Yesterday, the BBC gave huge prominence to a “suggestion” by the Attorney General of Northern Ireland that there should be no prosecutions of any terrorists pre “Good Friday Agreement” It has been almost universally rejected but the interesting aspect is the enthusiasm the BBC had for this immoral idea – an idea which Irish Republicans think may have legs. Today, the BBC via Panorama tonight, suggests that…gasp …British soldiers killed … Continue reading →

    I did wonder what Newsnight would make of Milibandism (30 mins) as they had Rafael Behr, the New Statesman’s political editor, on to explain the new political force in the land and the ideas behind it.   What I saw was a slick, well produced party political broadcast….and I’m sure it will be immortalized on You Tube as such…..Behr did manage to get a dig in at Cameron…though … Continue reading →

  The BBC hasn’t been very pro-active in examining Labour’s claims about the so called ‘Living standard’s crisis’ but at least someone is having a go…..and it’s not Tory Central Office….. Rafael Behr, political editor of the New Statesman examines ‘Milibandism’.…but along the way he mentions this…leading in with a quote from Miliband’s conference speech….. “For generations in Britain, when the economy grew, the majority got better off. And then … Continue reading →

  Another interesting few words from ex-Beeboid Roger Mosey: I can say what I think now, too, which is cheering after 30-odd years of friendly corralling by BBC minders. Deviation from past orthodoxy is as welcome to some former colleagues as a cat bringing in a mangled sparrow but there was plenty of support, too, including some from unexpected internal sources. The brickbats seemed to be about the principle of … Continue reading →

    What does Robert Peston mean?  And who are these political activists?   The Co-op Group has told me: “Given the serious and wide-ranging allegations, Co-op Group has started a fact-finding process to find any inappropriate behaviour and will take action accordingly.” And the board has also launched a “root and branch review of the democratic structure of the organisation, because we need to modernise to make sure the … Continue reading →

  I put this at the bottom of the last post but thinking about it it deserves its own post.   The BBC has put this headline on its frontpage: David Cameron follows ‘high-class escorts’ on Twitter     and look….way, way down at the bottom after the BBC has headlined the story: The site speculated that the Prime Minister – or more likely, an aide – might have been … Continue reading →
