So let’s get this straight….. The Labour Party concoct a story that Tory advisor Lynton Crosby advised ‘profiteering’ private health companies on how to exploit failures in the NHS. The Guardian splash the story on its front page. The BBC picks up the Guardian story and runs with it claiming that Cameron faces questions after ‘it emerges’ his election strategist advised private health companies how to profit from … Continue reading
Gotta love the BBC for their relentless pursuit of Lynton Crosby. Ed Miliband must so appreciate Beeb attempts to smear and blacken the reputation of this man, who whether one likes it or not, has helped turn around Conservative fortunes in recent times. I don’t expect Crosby is lily white, but I don’t expect any in his position in previous times were any less discoloured – say from 1997 to … Continue reading
Going on a seven day hunger strike in support of Gitmo resident Shaker Aamer is perhaps accidental comedy genius from alleged comedian Frankie Boyle. I was reading this BBC report on Frankie’s “Bobby Sands” moment. All this classic elements are in it; It says he is a UK resident but minimises the fact he is a Saudi national. You have to wade through paragraphs of dirge to get to the … Continue reading
Yup, I see how bulging with comments Monday’s thread is so here’s a new one for you. Enjoy filling it!
Andrew Neil, that well known climate scientist, has stirred up a hornet’s nest by daring to question government policy on climate…based as it is on ever increasing temperatures….but there are obvious doubts about that now due to the long hiatus in rising temperatures: The Sunday Politics interview with Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey on July 14 provoked widespread reaction in the twittersphere and elsewhere, which was only … Continue reading
From Staite Communications: Having worked in political communications in the UK for nearly 9 years I know the process and it is very clear. The Labour Party are using two newspapers, supported by the BBC, to try and get a scalp which will weaken the Prime Minister. A piece of information is dressed up as a ‘leak’ by the attack unit at Labour HQ. Interesting to note that editors … Continue reading
The economy may be picking up…not just a mere point here and there but some serious uplift maybe in the offing. GDP figures will be released on Thursday….even the Guardian recognises this could be significant: Something big happens this Thursday. As events go, the publication of a thin booklet of provisional numbers may sound about as dramatic as the shipping forecast. But the release of the GDP initial estimate … Continue reading
Journalists working under the sway of thuggish dictators are usually thought of as the puppet voices of oppression and repression.….the news they produce mere propaganda…the legend being that there’s no news in the truth and no truth in the news…. …..but compared to BBC journalists they are in fact paragons of virtue…they at least are forced to compromise their journalistic ethics and ideals such as they might be…the BBC … Continue reading
It’s almost as IF the BBC wants us to feel a little sorry for Michael Abebolajo. The Mail reports; Prison officers have reacted with fury to claims from Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebolajo that he was ‘assaulted’ while in prison. The man accused of hacking to death Fusilier Lee Rigby in the street was involved in a violent incident in Belmarsh high security jail last week in which he lost … Continue reading
It amuses me that whilst the BBC struggles to actually assignate the label “terrorist” to the likes of Al Queda, or the IRA, or Hezbollah, or pick your terrorist gang here, it IS able to call its own DALEKS terrorists! So in a fantasy world, it can attribute moral value but NOT in reality!!
