Andrew Marr hasn’t changed…he’s still Red Andy and pushing the Left’s agenda…this time a few thoughts from the IPPR, left leaning think tank: Who runs Britain? An Army of unregarded, unpaid carers. Now it’s time we cared for them says Andrew Marr and his wife who nursed him after stroke As a report today from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) points out, thousands of women in … Continue reading
BBC officer class enrages people, chief admits Executive salaries at the BBC have created an “officer class” which is causing “resentment and anger” among lower-paid workers, Lord Hall, the director-general of the corporation, has admitted. Liz MacKean, a former BBC Newsnight journalist, said: “The whole issue about severance payments gets to the heart of something that has gone badly wrong with the BBC over the last decade and … Continue reading
The BBC’s latest review of its lack of impartiality from earlier in the year has resurfaced as one of its authors, Mike Berry, pushes the lie, lovingly created and honed by him and those ex BBC employees now ensconced at Cardiff University who manufactured this ‘report’, that the BBC is actually biased towards the Right. The BBC say it went to Cardiff University but you might conclude that it took a wrong … Continue reading
Two people from Nevada appeared in court yesterday on charges of plotting to abduct and murder policemen. They are members of the fringe group Sovereign Citizens, a movement of people who have an extreme, quasi-anarchic (in the old school sense), anti-government view. Apparently they were busted after an undercover operation exposed their plans. Nothing new or unusual, really, except that it’s a case of two extremist white people getting arrested … Continue reading
They fill up quick these days.
Because these fill up with hundreds of comments every day! I tuned in to the BBC Radio 4 at 6.30am this morning.

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. Dunlop, who has only one child herself, has other ideas saying: ‘The world’s population is exploding….People are always coming up to me and saying when will you have another … Continue reading
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. Encryption, subscription and other forms of digital exclusion lead to … Continue reading
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
