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
Wonder what you make of the BBC coverage of the gathering of the Libdems in Scotland this past few days? It struck me as being remarkably sympathetic to Clegg and the gang. I suspect Cameron will NOT be getting such benign coverage!
Mardell just can’t help himself. He made a video report from just outside the Washington Navy Yard yesterday, featuring interviews BBC freelancers collected from a couple of the mass murderer’s friends, as well as his own analysis. Mardell said that mass murder of this kind is now “as American as baseball.” Isn’t that charming? He wouldn’t dare say that child rape or honor killings or beheadings were as Islamic as … Continue reading
Here you go. This is a Selfridges approved Vince Cable endorsed open thread for your attention.
Wonder what you make of the BBC’s coverage of Aaron Alexis’s rampage at the Washington DC Dockyard? They seemed awfully excited when the initial news seemed that it was a WHITE shooter but now the jury is in we must ponder if Obama thinks that Alexis “could have been me.:”

What the BBC doesn’t want you to know: anchor of BBC World News America, Katty Kay, is the regular … Continue reading
This winter is possibly make or break for the BBC’s pro-AGW stance. If the winter is harsh it would take a remarkably brass neck and lack of ethics to continue pressing ahead, Al Gore-like regardless of facts, with its global warming propaganda. The time would come when it would have to reconsider that and start to take seriously the likelihood that things aren’t panning out the way the … Continue reading
BBC staff, underpaid as they are, as we all know, are having trouble making ends meet. In order to keep body and soul together they have been forced to take second jobs. A bit of baby sitting, bar work at the local tavern, stacking shelves on the night shift at Tescos you might think. Not a bit of it…they are running large scale corporate enterprises whilst at the same … Continue reading
In 1692 the Campbells, in cahoots with the English, set upon the MacDonald clan in an attempt to massacre them in an infamous moment in Scottish history….a ‘murder under trust’. Thirty eight men were slaughtered and forty women and children died of exposure when their homes were burnt to the ground.
