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 →

  Can’t find any BBC report on this (Got to be one somewhere surely!?) Student loans to Bulgarians and Romanians frozen Loans to students from the two countries frozen after “suspicious” surge in the number enrolling at British colleges   Definitely no BBC report on this: When it comes to Europe, we’ve been mugged I’m seething. But not half as angry as my constituent. Her daughter had studied hard and … Continue reading →

The last one’s overflowing so better have a new one of these…..

      Victoria Derbyshire had a caller (24 mins 40 secs), Sonora(spelling?), who relayed to us her tale of woe as she became a victim of the callous Bedroom Tax. Worth a listen….Sonora lives in Holloway under the care and protection of Labour’s Islington Council…..Derbyshire didn’t listen, didn’t have enough facts and didn’t seem inclined to challenge anything being said….it seemed more like a sympathetic ear and a shoulder … Continue reading →

    ChrisH seems to have taken over the world: EmersonV says in response to Dominic Sandbrook’s ‘Cold War Britain’: Just finished watching bbc2 Cold War what a load of lefty crap. Totally bias view , how the west was so bad and the East was just misunderstood and wouldn’t hurt a fly. ChrisH replies: Can`t say I agree. It was pretty balanced to me….Sanbrooke was ironic, but pretty fair … Continue reading →

  As noted in the previous post the BBC made a curious omission in their programme about the Kennedy assassination…..forgetting to mention that Oswald was a Communist…whilst also making less than subtle intimations that seemed intended to suggest the Republicans may have shot Kennedy.   Perhaps they should have read the BBC’s own report from the time by Peter Watson:   (Text Version here)     The BBC’s attitude towards all … Continue reading →

        A bit of ping pong between the BBC bias sites……here is a look at the BBC’s revisionist view of history by ‘Is the BBC biased?’s’ Craig based on comments kicked off by JonT on this site:   BBC exclusive: Kennedy was shot by a right-wing Republican Several commenters at Biased BBC have been pointing an accusing finger at a BBC documentary broadcast last night on BBC … Continue reading →

      The Telegraph wonders about…. The baffling recovery of Teflon Labour and Unpopular Ed Politics sometimes throws up great mysteries. Why does public spending always rise and never fall? How did Gordon Brown ever become Prime Minister? Why is David Cameron still clinging to his pledge on overseas aid? Nothing, however, is quite so head-scratching at the moment as the success of the Labour Party. The Tories are … Continue reading →

      They just can’t help themselves. The BBC love-in with Obama continues despite Guantanamo, drones, failed foreign policy, massive, inappropriate surveillance and lies about, well lots and lots of stuff.   Naughtie on Today (08:25 ish) was going over the Gettysburgh Address by Lincoln. For some unknown reason we were suddenly treated to the comparison of Lincoln to another ‘gangling lawyer’….and a soundbite of the sainted Obama. The … Continue reading →

      From the Telegraph: There’s an interview with Sir Richard Eyre, the director of a new musical (he prefers “a play with songs”) in this week’s Sunday Times (£) “I never understand politicians – they could buy themselves, for such a small price, the silence of a swathe of articulate, prominent, celebrated people who give them a hard time.”   And you thought the Lefty Bien Pensant cared … Continue reading →
