Yet another religious wind bag (apologies to anyone who actually likes religious windbaggery). Even a Labour man looks askance at the new Archbishop of Canterbury as he does a bit of pious grandstanding on behalf of the Labour Party (and is always given a headline or two on the Beeb)….without any solutions to the problems he raises it might be added. Dan Hodges cocks a snook: The … Continue reading
Can someone explain to me exactly what it is that the BBC finds so compelling about Mehdi Hasan? Because the more you see of the real Mehdi Hasan, the Islamic preacherman, the less there is that could surely justify the BBC’s elevation of him to the position of authoritative, credible and ethical spokesman for Muslims. We looked a while back at the two sides of Mehdi Hasan, his slick … Continue reading
The BBC is determined to ensure that whatever the Coalition does, it is never quite enough. For decades, the BBC seemed content at the impasse that has been created over the future for nuclear energy here. Now, at last, a decision IS made and the UK can expect one new nuclear power station in ten years time, and good old Aunty is doing everything possible to pour cold water on … Continue reading
I can see the old one is full up so here is a new one to start the week? Seen any bias, HERE is where to detail it.
Is the BBC biased? draws this to our attention: From the Independent: The British public has such “poor religious literacy” that a modern audience would be baffled by the Monty Python film The Life of Brian – because it would not understand the Biblical references, a senior BBC figure has claimed. Aaqil Ahmed, the BBC’s head of religion and ethics, told The Independent that failings in religious education over … Continue reading
Janet Daley in the telegraph suggests that the frequent claims that the American political system is broken are without merit: The power of the people is being stolen How strong should central government be, and how much of our money should it spend? In the aftermath of the crisis in Washington — or more aptly, in the lull between crises — there is a danger that a few smug … Continue reading
Last week Thursday seemed to be a 24 hour Labour Party political broadcast on the BBC. The BBC attacked the Tories on all fronts blaming them and the dreaded Capitalism for the ills of Society..a veritable Pearl Harbour attack launched at dawn on the Today programme: Wonga pay day loans Energy prices Free schools (asking ‘Is there something rotten within the Free school system?) Miliband’s ‘Predistribution’…now renamed ‘The … Continue reading
The Mail tells us that: Dyke’s all-white panel comes under fire from black FA chief for lack of ethnic diversity And the Mail goes on to explore the story more fully, unlike the BBC’s sport’s editor, David Bond, who does a hatchet job on Dyke and fails to report the fact that Dyke did try and bring non-white people onto the FA commission: Greg Dyke’s reputation damaged by FA … Continue reading
Saturday morning and Justin Webb announced (08:54) that ‘You can’t consider London ‘English’‘ in a discussion about what constitutes Englishness. So the capital of England is no longer ‘English’ by race or culture. But the BBC, Mark Easton in particular, thinks immigration is a good thing….and is prepared to be economical with the truth to defend that position. The BBC’s reaction to an EU report on migration … Continue reading
Ed Stourton on World At One reports on the death threats that some Muslim commentators have received from al Shabab. Talking to Ajmar Masroor Stourton tells him: ‘I have to say you’re being extremely brave.’ This is the same Ajmal Masroor who had to stand down from an election for postings on an Islamist site…MPACUK: Ajmal Masroor (Liberal Democrat) born 1971. Broadcaster and production consultant. Selected as Lib … Continue reading
