The Labour Party has been packing BBC call-ins with its activists judging by some of the very articulate and well rehearsed rhetoric some callers have demonstrated….listen to Michael Thompson from Sale on 5Live Drive at 18:16 and especially at 18:20 when he gets into his stride telling us….’… the IMF advised George Osborne that the austerity measures aren’t working, you see the more people who are unemployed the less they spend on goods and … Continue reading →

  Not sure who Jamie ‘with the wobbly eyes’ is but he’s now appeared twice in a couple of days on the BBC….today on ‘Your Call’ (at about 09:10) talking about the work for welfare proposals (or as the BBC says ‘what some people might call slavery’….though only ‘militant’ people would call it that surely?)…..apart from wobbly eyes it seems he has a wobbly backbone when it comes to work….he … Continue reading →

A guest post by Graeme Thompson who comments as ‘hippiepooter’. Were any B-BBC readers aware that in the last 3 months 3 street preachers have been arrested? No? Information here, here and here (Christian Concern represents all three preachers but at time of writing it’s website is down), and on the latest arrests here as well from none other than Rod Liddle. One would have thought that such an extremely … Continue reading →

Morning everyone. Here is a new open thread to end the month and start the week! I note quite a bit of heat being exchanged in a the last open thread. Can I remind everyone of the need for civility when commenting here. I would appreciate it if you can follow that request. Thanks.

Take the week off lads and lasses…I’m 95% certain there is no BBC bias ….Will Hutton in the Guardian has assured me that claims of bias are ridiculous: BBC attempts to broadcast its findings in as impartial way as possible will be portrayed as yet more evidence of BBC bias, even though the BBC will pack its coverage with lots of sceptical voices, notwithstanding their marginalisation by world science, to … Continue reading →

   Wind farms and solar power….a waste of time… Professor Mike Hulme has never been too enthusiastic about climate science…or rather with having to get it right…as long as it can be made to support your social and political agenda that’s good enough. As one of the putative flag wavers for man made climate change, Mike Hulme, until recently head of the Tyndall Centre at the UEA, gave the game away in … Continue reading →

    I can confirm that there has been a ‘Pause’…a pause in BBC journalism for at least 15 years….investigative reporting, intelligent analysis and comment, rigorous questioning of  claimed ‘facts’ have been set aside and in place of which, the new ‘Priesthood’ that is the BBC, has promoted the new ‘Faith’ of Man Made Climate Change…..blasphemers will be ex-communicated or at least shown the door at BBC studios. On Friday we had … Continue reading →

    After today’s highly politicised, one sided broadcasting by the BBC now might be the time to consider legal action against the BBC, individual journalists, Tony Hall and the BBC Trust for a blatant breach of its charter obligations…obligations enshrined in law.   The IPCC released its summary of the Fifth Assessment Report on climate change. The BBC released a torrent of  ‘on message’ propaganda on behalf of the … Continue reading →

And another one for you to complete! This time, it’s on time! Bias bothering you?

  Reference…Woman’s Hour (10:11)   Woman’s Hour discusses how scientists overblow their research with dramatic claims and how science  journalists often don’t understand the science they are reporting on.   The Great Global Warming Swindle continues…broadcast every week on the BBC at varying times on every channel and medium. The BBC are picking up the pace in pushing the man made global warming angle. We are getting puff pieces that continue the alarmist scare mongering … Continue reading →
