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.:”
Here you go, a new Monday thread to complete.
With all the recent fuss about BBC mandarins wasting and trousering public funds, this BBC news brief caught my eye: NPR to shed 10% of staff amid budget shortfall The BBC reports that US public radio network NPR is having to cut loose 10% of its staff due to financial difficulties. 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.

Just as well that we have Guido Fawkes to bring us the low down on her.….not to mention the Daily Mail: Raquel Rolnik: A dabbler in witchcraft who offered an animal sacrifice to Marx … Continue reading

Not everyone was convinced and the radical MP Henry Labouchere denounced it memorably: “Where it is going, nobody knows, what is the use of it, none can conjecture … It is clearly naught but a … Continue reading

But he is declaring victory over Ed Balls” The BBC report on the speech opened with these words: The UK economy is “turning a corner”, Chancellor George Osborne has said in a speech in London.
