Interesting listening to the aftermath of Osborne’s budget speech on the BBC…you’d hardly know that Ball’s got a pasting or that Labour had been soundly trounced. You’d have no inkling that Osborne’s budget was based on a solid recovery and gave help to all levels of society….no inkling that under Labour 7.2% of the economy was destroyed. Some key phrases from the OBR report upon which the budget … Continue reading
95 year old man dies after long illness. BBC goes into full on Saint Mandela mode with Mark Mardell calling him “a secular saint”. It’s been amazing watching the sanitisation of Mandela’s life with the very notion that he supported terrorism verboten. As I watch Newsnight he is being compared to Lincoln.
This is going to make Diana’s death look like The Man Who Never Was. There’ll be at least a month of enforced national mourning, including the public stoning of anybody wearing a tie that isn’t black. A one-off tax to pay for the erection of gilded statues of the great man in every London Borough. The BBC will disappear up their own backside. Mandela is lucky he’s going to miss … Continue reading

A new week of bias from the State broadcaster to monitor! Off you go…tell us about the BIAS.
Pity poor Wyre Davies. Having spent a few years as a BBC Heroic Palestinians vs. Jew-Nazis Middle East correspondent, where he must have felt like he was walking on eggshells stacked precariously on top of eggshells, he’s now back to his area of university study, Latin America.

Alistair Campbell was resurrected by the BBC in the public sphere…as noted before, an investment well made as he now defends the BBC. Brown and his disastrous reign has been conveniently written out of history by the BBC. Miliband has Desert Island Discs put at his service to pimp his geeky Marxist image as he lags … Continue reading

Yesterday the BBC published a story from unnamed sources that the government had asked energy firms to freeze their prices. This was untrue…and yet the BBC kept reporting it as fact whilst at the same time admitting the Government had denied the story. And they are still reporting it as fact. If you have been listening to the radio you may have heard the frequent advert trumpeting 5Live’s ‘excellence’ … Continue reading
Has the BBC been caught red-handed pumping out black propaganda against the government whilst promoting Labour policy? Today was the day when Ed Miliband was to relaunch his energy price freeze policy….just a coincidence that a story broke today, exclusively on the leftwing BBC, that Cameron was supposedly also going to adopt that policy…the only thing was the story was a load of bollocks….in fact “complete b******s” according to the … Continue reading
