You would need a heart of stone NOT to chuckle at this; Lord Patten faced demands to quit or be sacked last night as civil war tore through the BBC. The chairman of the BBC Trust was given an ultimatum after being accused of ‘fundamentally misleading’ Parliament over the scandal of excessive pay-offs to Corporation fat cats. But the defiant former Conservative Party chairman said he had ‘no concerns’ about the allegations … Continue reading
Hi all. Yes, I am still around but have taken a break this past week. The stress of running websites can get to you. Anyway, here’s new thread for you to fill.
It’s almost touching to watch how the BBC does all it can to present Sen John McCain as the standard bearer for the GOP. McCain, the guy who likes to play poker on his phone during important debates on Syria, the guy who thinks those who chant Allahu Akhbar are no different to those who attend Church and give thanks to God, is very much the hero of the hour for … Continue reading
Oborne in the Telegraph lays into the BBC: Television launched a direct, head-on attack on our traditional institutions (Parliament, monarchy, Army, Church), diminishing them, and then occupied the public space they were forced to vacate. Concepts such as truth, honour, duty, self-deprecation and service were mocked and replaced by a mixture of sensationalism and the cult of celebrity. Only a very few institutions, of which the most successful was probably … Continue reading
The BBC has started a 10 part series on the history of the Conservative movement: The changing face of British conservatism You might think ‘Oh yeah,,,I know what that’ll be like’….but reading the article based upon it the programme may give a far more rounded view of the Tories than you might expect. Or that’s the impression I got on first read…on a second reading I think perhaps it … Continue reading
1. You have to laugh….Mickey Clark on Wake Up To Money…surely he’s a London cabby dragged in off the street to fill the diversity quota. The OECD has predicted British growth will outpace the US, Japan and the Euro giants. Mickey Clark’s thought…‘My surprise is that the OECD thinks they wouldn’t…I mean the US, Japan and Europe, they’re all struggling…if we can’t beat them it’s time to pack … Continue reading
The title of this post was inspired by BBC Washington correspondent Tom Geoghegan’s new analysis piece for the online Magazine. Six ways the president will try to convince Congress Things are so muddled and chaotic these days – from the White House’s confused policies to the BBC’s confused coverage – that it’s hard to say at this point just how much of this is due to BBC bias and how … Continue reading
Time for a new one.
Back in November 2012 we had a visit from someone calling themselves ‘Soothsayer’ (allegedly posing as BBC man Raffi Berg)…apparently he is an Israeli subversive who has infiltrated the BBC to push the Zonist agenda…and we’ve been helping him out as Sue at the ‘pro-Israeli’ ‘Is the BBC biased’ site relates. And now we’ve been rumbled and so has Raffi: According to Electronic Intifada, the emails were originally posted onto the … Continue reading
Jon Donnison hasn’t changed much, still bringing us his unique take on the news. Whilst the BBC cheers on the doughty Hamas approved miners tunnelling their way to Egypt in the quest for non-Israeli approved brands of corn flakes or whatever their fancy is, Jon Donnison down under gives us the sense that he doesn’t really approve of the Aussie miners tunnelling for dirty old coal. He asks: Why are Australians … Continue reading
