LABOUR ALL THE WAY…

BBC breathlessly informs us that  Labour has become the second-largest party on Norfolk County Council after winning the Thetford West by-election. BBC not so quick to discuss the fact that ALL but one of Labour’s prospective MEP candidates for next year are linked to UNITE.   

HEAR NO EVIL SPEAK NO EVIL.

Over here in Northern Ireland, the BBC has been pushing the World Police and Fire Games. Heard of them? No? Me neither until the Stormont Executive got hold of the idea that hosting such a strange event would be a wizard wheeze. Met with almost universal indifference over here, the BBC has been doing its best to hype the event, going so far as to give us recorded highlights of … Continue reading

LESS CASH POST RECESSION…

With several shoots of green indicating that the UK economy may be on the recovery, the BBC has had to find new ways to dampen any positivity people might have so today they have been pushing a survey that claims that half of UK adults are struggling to keep up with bills and debt repayments and this number has worsened since….2006.

It seems they missed it. How convenient. I suppose they are too busy hunting down Islamphobes? “Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi—one … Continue reading

ARMAGEDDON ON A DAILY BASIS

I have to agree with Grant Shapps just for a change! The BBC’s coverage of the Government’s welfare reforms has sought to paint them as ‘Armageddon’ for the nation, a senior minister said yesterday. Tory Party chairman Grant Shapps accused BBC bosses of letting their ‘personal views take hold’, covering the Coalition’s attempts to rein in the welfare bill as though the world were ending. He spoke out amid a row over … Continue reading

AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW

The BBC paint one picture of the Mau Mau but a B-BBC reader paints another; “I was there as a Police Inspector in the Kikuyu Reserve. I am astonished that the British Government should be giving compensation to Mau Mau. of course it is a different Government to that of the 1950s. Mau Mau murdered large numbers of their own Kikuyu tribe. They didn’t beat them up they chopped them … Continue reading
