They fill up quick these days.

Muslim Brotherhood propaganda is breathlessly repeated and how often are we informed that Morsi was “democratically elected”? The situation in Syria is certainly complex but the BBC seems to have aligned … Continue reading →

  LOLOL Leftwing BBC type in melt down. Tessa Dunlop on Today programme this morning (08:50) Talking about a book published by Civitas which puts the case for families having more than one child…as it can be beneficial for siblings, they claim.

The BBC can still surprise me. I was driving home from work and had the PM programme on. It covered the rather bizarre story that Bradley Manning has issued a statement saying that “he” is now a she and wants to be called Chelsea henceforth. What amazed me was that Eddie Mairs instantly started calling this man a she … and called her Chelsea. Is this how it works then? … Continue reading →

        Douglas Carswell in the Telegraph suggests that: The BBC’s mid-twentieth century TV poll tax should be consigned to the history books  Carswell thinks a subscription service might work…Mark Thompson thought not…or rather put the case for keeping the license fee/poll tax: We want to build a digital world based on universal access, open standards and unencryption.

I am sure that you, like me, have been gripped by a sense of suspense as to the fate of the ‘Irish” family  “caught up in a stand-off at a Cairo mosque” as the BBC poetically puts out. Here these fine upstanding Irish citizens are;   Now then, the BBC tell us that they were caught up but they choose not to tell us WHY they were in Cairo and what … Continue reading →

        The BBC have come up with a new and ingenious angle to tackle the government’s claims of signs of economic growth.  The BBC will grudgingly admit that, yes, there may well be green shoots appearing but only in certain industries…and it’s the sunny weather, the wrong sort of consumer buying…bangers, BBQs and bikinis…it’s not sustainable.
