The BBC did another little puff piece in Ed Miliband’s favour: Do people get their politics from their parents? For some reason the lead in photo was this:   That aside they come to the conclusion the Ed Miliband apple fell quite far from the Marxist family tree: “There’s a volume of literature that says the more politicised your parents are, the more likely you are to become … Continue reading →

  Many in the BBC frequently denounce the Daily Mail for having supported the Blackshirts, and proclaim it a right wing paper…..not so keen to similarly denounce the Mirror for the same past errors: On Monday, 22 January, 1934 the Mirror ran the headline “Give the Blackshirts a helping hand”. The paper went one further than the Mail, urging readers to join Mosley’s British Union of Fascists, and giving the address … Continue reading →

    David Cameron’s father died in 2010, that didn’t stop the Guardian in 2012 using his financial transactions as a weapon to attack the Tories and their policies: Cameron family fortune made in tax havens Revealed: David Cameron’s father built up legal offshore funds in Panama and Geneva Downing Street said it did not want to comment on what was a private matter for the Cameron family.

    Nicky Campbell is having a phone-in about the Daily Mail article that stated the Marxist Ralph Miliband ‘hated Britain’.  (just an aside…Ed Miliband wants to give 16 year olds the vote…and yet he says we must dismiss the youthful, 17 year old, writings of his father in his diary as the foolishness of that youthfulness!) The same Ralph Miliband who wouldn’t support Labour Party because he thought that … Continue reading →

Hi Folks! Here’s a brand new shiny Open Thread for you. It’s the day of Cameron’s big speech at #CPC13, wonder how the comrades will cover that one? And what about the partial close down of the American Government – I believe the Panda cams are off in Washington zoo, that is how serious it has become and how reckless those evil GOP politicians are. Then we have Netanyahu daring … Continue reading →

    As far as I can tell, and I’ve heard quite a lot from the BBC today on the subject, Ed Miliband has been given an uncritical platform to ‘defend’ his father and to present himself in a manner designed to garner as much sympathy…and very cynically, votes…as possible.     Miliband’s own article in the Mail was not purely a defence of his Father but a subtle distancing of … Continue reading →

Had to smile at the way in which the BBC has contrived to eclipse today’s Conservative Party conference headlines by painting Red Ed as the victim of the evil Daily Mail. It appears that whilst Miliband is allowed to bring his father into the  political world, none may comment negatively on that renowned Marxist. The 5pm news ran it for 10 minutes – making sure we all view Ed with … Continue reading →

One of the BBC journalists covering the government shutdown in Washington last night was Marc Georges: Well that was an eventful late shift at the beeb with @katywatson @PaulNBlake @voiceofharold + @JonnyDymond. — Marc Georges (@marcgeorges) October 1, 2013 Before he joined the BBC Georges used to make lame nerdy “comedy” videos attacking Republicans. Here are some examples: So he’s gone from making tedious anti-Republican propaganda to a job at … Continue reading →

      I listened to half an hour of the Today programme this morning…it did nothing to dispel the view that the BBC approaches News from a certain viewpoint. Starting at around 08:00 we had the US government closedown…The BBC gave us Obama’s self serving speech whilst then doing an interview which poured the blame onto the Republicans….no similar questioning of a Democrat…just the Obama theatrics, and more in … Continue reading →

    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 →
