As the BBC shoots itself in the foot again and again, pressure is mounting with questions about its governance, structure and funding being asked…again and again. This from the Spectator: How to save the BBC? Privatise it A reckoning is long overdue. The BBC may not know the value of money, but those prosecuted for not paying its fines certainly do. Many of them struggle to make ends … Continue reading →

      The BBC is relentless and continues to push the AGW agenda, in fact pushing it harder now that global warming has ‘stalled’ (and the BBC’s impartiality review of their coverage of climate is over)….can’t have anyone getting complacent and thinking it’s nothing to worry about children!   Once again they roll out the old trick of inviting someone on to be interviewed about their work knowing full … Continue reading →

You have to smile at the BBC’s continued adoration of Obama. President Narcissus and his aide Kerry have been utterly ouflanked by Putin and Assad in recent days and yet the BBC is doing all it can to suggest that Obama and Putin are on the same page. Obama cheerleaders like Mardell have struggled to keep their hero’s halo gleaming but his tortuous efforts to win over Congress to military … Continue reading →

  And now it’s global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year No mention of the huge rise in ice at the Arctic from the BBC, usually so keen to tell us that ice is melting there…but they have switched their attention to the Antarctic where they have 3 reports on the same story…..of course because they can relate to us a … Continue reading →

        Just heard 5Live Sport tell us that Britain is a multicultural country now and so shouldn’t we be going out looking for more players who are a little less white in those communities….to improve our team.       I know the BBC are trained to be  ‘colour blind’…hadn’t realised just how effective that training must be.   Though not sure what race Rooney is…might even … Continue reading →

      Ed Balls was always in favour of Plan A, in fact he always thought that Osborne was not going far enough fast enough.   Well..Flanders hasn’t quite pushed that lie yet but it can’t be long judging by the way she is spinning for Balls right now.   She told us on 5Live Drive at 18:45 that Osborne claims Plan A has proven to be successful. Flanders … Continue reading →

    Thompson and Co seem to have no idea that there is anything wrong with paying people up to twice their contractual dues…apparently that is ‘saving the BBC money’.   Hodge has just been on 5Live and she says that the governance structures, management and the Trust, are unaccountable and refuse to take responsibility….the structure will need to change. The Trust should have been more foreward looking, and been … Continue reading →
