I was reading on the BBC “that former BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall’s 15-month sentence for a series of indecent assaults has been doubled by the Court of Appeal.” Oh, how MODEST of the BBC. But please, they must have forgotten JUST how much they praised Hall..
Arriving a little late but still on time for the weekend! Off you go….
The Today programme (07:45) updated us on the progress of the BBC’s latest wheeze: The Today programme is asking listeners to come up with questions to put to tens of thousands of people in more than 60 countries around the world. The programme will submit two questions suggested by listeners to feature in the Gallup International poll. A panel including the BBC’s Head of Political Research David Cowling and … Continue reading
‘The uncritical reproduction of scientific orthodoxy is a far more egregious error: it denies that error can be observed from without the consensus.’ There was a huge fuss generated by the Hotheads of the pro AGW side of the climate debate over the Andrew Neil interview with Ed Davey, asking him if government climate and energy policy should be changed to take into account the new facts…such as … Continue reading
I know we’ve done a lot on Zimmerman already but I couldn’t let this pass without a blogpost. Take a look at the considered opinion of BBC News Channel journalist Robert Rea on the day of the Zimmerman verdict. Rea claims Zimmerman only shot Martin because he was black, and it was shameful that he wasn’t found guilty by the jury. All twelve of them. @Chelsea_Lass had he been blond … Continue reading

Thankfully, renowned economist … Continue reading
The BBC’s ‘News Quiz’ is hardly worth posting on…it’s so evidently designed purely as a vehicle for leftie comedians, so called, to vent their spleens against the evil Tories that not much needs to be said about it. Last Saturday’s effort toed the Party line and the first attack was on Lynton Crosby…then there was a completely joke free rant about the welfare cap and a claim that IDS … Continue reading
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
