Tim Stanley, Heretic or Kafir?

      ‘The Changeling’ takes you into a Catholic world of blurred edges and deepest shadows where you cannot trust that what you see is true. The Cambridge Student newspaper 2007   You may have been following the spectacle of the academic, historian and all round cosmopolitan Tim Stanley trying to handbag working class Tommy Robinson for his views on Islam. The most recent cause of Stanley’s angst is, … Continue reading

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN…

So, the Government announces an extra HALF A £££ BILLION for ‘struggling A&E”‘s in England.  Labour responds by saying this is not enough (when is it ever enough for the comrades?) and the BBC dutifully follow up by wheeling on  Dr Clifford Mann, president of the College of Emergency Medicine to inform the BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that  he had “real concerns” about how the money would be allocated. … Continue reading

Bang Bang or Bongo Bongo…What Would You Report?

Apologies to anyone who has covered this in the comments….I haven’t read them yet.  The BBC seem to have lost all sense of journalistic direction and proportion with the latest manufactured UKIP ‘scandal’……it proves the BBC is way, way out of touch with ‘normal’ people who more than likely agree with UKIP….as indeed a majority of the emails and texts into 5Live today seemed to ….it’s not as if the UKIP MEP … Continue reading

UKIP ATTACK..

The BBC seems to be running a series of attacks on UKIP. The latest one uses the old “bongo bongo” riff from many years ago and does everything possible to demonise UKIP’s Godfrey Bloom. The source for the attack is the BBC’s print arm, The Guardian. One can understand WHY the BBC loathes UKIP and I am sure that ahead of next year’s Euro elections, we will see much more … Continue reading

We Mujahadeen….

  Hadda in the comments has also noticed this….. Hilary Andersson has tried to put some distance between ‘Islam’ and the Boston Bombers….going so far as to air the suggestion that they weren’t true Jihadis at all but were possibly in thrall to white supremacist right wing ideology. At least Mark Mardell, when he famously denied that Major Nidal Hassan murdered 13 fellow soldiers in the name of Islam, didn’t try … Continue reading

Panorama’s evidence – a 3 second shot of unidentified literature

We’ve already shot Hilary Andersson’s Panorama programme full of holes, but I’d like to drive over the body all the same. That was it? The BBC’s big song and dance about Tamerlan Tsarnaev and white supremacist literature, which it spent all yesterday gleefully reporting in its bulletins and news programmes, boiled down to roughly 20 seconds from the Panorama programme. Here’s the relevant segment (h/t to Craig from Is the … Continue reading

Panning Panorama

  The BBC encouraged the world to think that they had some stunning new information about the Boston  Bombers that would utterly change your opinion of their motivations and beliefs. The BBC told us in letters bold that they had discovered the bombers, or Tamerlan alone, were ‘subscribing’ to white supremacist, right wing literature….from which the BBC concluded they were not jihadists but  angry young men attacking the government. As we know … Continue reading

Self Serving and Corrupt ‘Journalism’ From the BBC

  DB has done an excellent job in the previous post, I’m just going to add to that….  The BBC messed up. It badly, very badly wanted the Boston bombers to be white right wingers. They went so far as to claim, completely without evidence, that this was indeed the most likely scenario. They were wrong. But they are now attempting to rewrite history…not only to cover up the corruption of their … Continue reading
