Too Big, Too Left Wing

  From the Daily Mail:   The BBC is too big and too left wing and should lose some of its licence fee, the Corporation’s former head of TV news has warned. Roger Mosey claimed the BBC had wrongly kept critics of Brussels, benefits and immigration off the airwaves and veered to the left on many issues. He said it would ‘enrich the nation’ if rival commercial broadcasters had access … Continue reading

Kristallnacht

        The BBC asks: Kristallnacht 75 years on: How strong is anti-Semitism in Germany?   And reports: “The significantly strongest agreement with anti-Semitic prejudices is found in Poland and Hungary. In Portugal, followed closely by Germany, anti-Semitism is significantly more prominent than in the other western European countries. In Italy and France, anti-Semitic attitudes as a whole are less widespread than the European average, while the extent … Continue reading

Harrabin’s Not For Wavering

      The BBC’s Roger Harrabin sounded pretty desperate yesterday morning on the radio as he yet again pushed a very one sided version of climate change…helpfully he has written it all down as he helps in the fight to keep the Green show on the road: Wavering on UK climate policy ‘not justified’ Britain is playing its part in a worldwide bid to reduce emissions and should not … Continue reading

LOTS OF HOT GAS…..

You have to hand it to the BBC, they are determined to push the global warming meme even when it is..erm, cooling! The levels of gases in the atmosphere that drive global warming increased to a record high in 2012. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), atmospheric CO2 grew more rapidly last year than its average rise over the past decade. Concentrations of methane and nitrous oxide also broke previous records … Continue reading

MISSING YASSER

Ah, will the BBC ever get over the death of ol’ Yasser – that Jew hating terrorist loving piece of Palestinian slime?  …sorry, I meant that much loved and sadly missed Leader of the most oppressed people ever. I mean when BBC reporter Barbara Plett openly wept at his funeral, those were our tears she expressed, right? Anyhoo….the issue of Arafat’s death has been a tad tricky for the BBC. … Continue reading

BEHIND THE VEIL….

You have to admire the way the BBC can take an issue and spin it to suit the trenchant anti-Coalition narrative that lies at the heart of all it has done since 2010. Take the story of that for ‘cor blimey” Brit Mohammed al Mohammed. Somalian-born (natch!) Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed is believed to have evaded police observation by disguising himself as a woman in Islamic dress. The 27-year-old went to pray … Continue reading

Crisis? What Crisis?

64% of Britons are satisfied with life.     The BBC has been pushing Labour’s ‘cost of living crisis’ hard recently (Ed Miliband: Only Labour can secure ‘recovery for all’) but seems not to want to make much of  this: Britons happier than before financial crisis as contentment plummets in Europe – OECD OECD says quality of life in the UK has been only “modestly affected” by the global financial … Continue reading

Facts But Not All The Facts

  Immigration has cost a minimum of £62 billion between 2001 and 2011   If you’ve been listening to the radio you may have heard the BBC telling us that ‘immigration’, not just EU immigration, has benefited this country as ‘immigrants’ pay more in tax than they take in benefits. Recent immigrants to UK ‘make net contribution’ Immigrants to the UK since 2000 have made a “substantial” contribution to public … Continue reading
