Germany is the most powerful nation in Europe, the most economically successful, the one with the most radical green programme…and one that is in the midst of an election. You might have thought then that this would have been of interest to the BBC: Germany industry in revolt as green dream causes cost spiral Germany’s top economic adviser has called for a radical rethink of the country’s energy … Continue reading
An Israeli soldier is killed by a Palestinian and the story had all but vanished from the BBC website…relegated to the ‘most popular’ but now seems to have been resurrected on the Middle East page. Interesting to see what they miss out in the report, the very short report….not much interest in a murdered Israeli soldier from the BBC? A suspect – who Shin Bet said worked with … Continue reading
Anyone see the labour fest on Marr this morning. We had Lady Tuscany as the warm up act before the great Leader himself appeared. No matter how ingratiating Marr was Miliband was so poor that it really was a delight.
Hi all. Can see that Friday’s thread is fuller than empty promises from Miliband, so here’s a new one for y’all!
I note that Religion of Peace enthusiasts have been so active in the past few days. Whether it was slaughtering 59 people in a shopping mall in Nairobi, or mowing down dozens of Christians leaving a church in Pakistan, or blowing to pieces other Muslims attending a funeral in Baghdad, the ROP has not left an opportunity to slaughter.

Leveson has been ‘disastrous’ says Guardian legal chief The Guardian’s director of editorial legal services Gill Phillips has said the outcome of Leveson Inquiry has been “disastrous”. Phillips told delegates: “What Leveson has come up with is the worst of all worlds. “His attempt to please everybody and avoid … Continue reading
Guess the BBC didn’t forgive Blair for the Iraq War and Dyke having to fall on his sword, and Blair still relying on Murdoch to get his message across: From the Guardian…emails in 2006 from Labour during in-fighting over leadership between Brown and Blair camps: 1.58pm from Ruth Turner (Blair’s director of government relations at No 10): So BBC chose [MPs] Sarah McCarthy-Fry, Julie Morgan and George Mudie who are … Continue reading
I have frequently commented on the BBC’s reluctance to mention Labour by name when talking about the deaths at the Mid Staffs Hospital in many of its articles and discussions about this scandal. I have now learnt why….Labour was not to blame. Who was responsible for all those deaths? Mrs Thatcher. I kid you not. The BBC, in the shape of their Business reporter, Lesley Curwen, … Continue reading
