Yes, we all know that Lib Dems do seem to have a problem with Israel and in that regard today’s saga with David Ward MP is not that surprising. Just to remind you… Lib Dem MP David Ward has had the party whip withdrawn over comments he made about Israel. He posted a tweet at the weekend calling the country an “apartheid state” and saying that “Zionists” were “losing the battle”. It … Continue reading →

  The BBC has excelled itself in its latest example of pro-Labour anti-Coalition ‘cuts’ propaganda. No other word for it but propaganda. If this can’t persuade a reasoned person that the BBC’s politicised reports are no more than Labour Party press releases I’m not sure what could.   The HMIC has released this report into how police forces are managing the cuts to their budgets: Policing in Austerity: Rising to the Challenge … Continue reading →

She may be dead but the BBC still cannot resist having a go. This time, they say… “Thatcher lobbied for Savile knighthood despite warnings…” I see. Would that be Jimmy Savile,  the much loved BBC star, a diamond in their constellation of talent for decades “despite warnings”.  Would that be the SAME Jimmy Savile that the BBC felt obliged to pay tribute to after his death when the “warnings” were … Continue reading →

No sooner does a new open thread open until it is bulging at the seams so, here you go, a new one for you and am sure you will fill it just as quickly as the last one!

As mentioned on another thread, BBC’s “Today” will have a new presenter in the autumn. Her name is Mishal Husain. Who is she? Well, last November, she was  the one implying that not enough Israelis had been killed by “home-made contraptions” I am sure she will fit in so well. BBC Watch has the goodies here.

Yes unemployment has dropped, yes the economy shows signs of positive growth, BUT — having listened to the BBC PM programme this evening on the way home from work there is a two word agenda for the day … yes, Lynton Crosby! BBC proving itself an echo of Labour party talking points!

It’s funny the little differences that can occur between the BBC’s web based version of a story and their radio coverage. On the web, the BBC proclaims that the House of Commons Committees on Arms Export Controls is questioning the validity of  arms  export licences to to countries with “questionable” human rights. These include China, Iran and Saudi. But on the TODAY Programme, they managed to also thrown on ISRAEL. … Continue reading →

It seems the butthurt is deep at the BBC over the Zimmerman verdict. Using the topic of celebrity lawyers as a hook, the BBC’s Tara Mckelvey has penned a hit-piece portraying Zimmerman lawyer Mark O’Mara as a self-serving celebrity-craving huckster using up his 15 minutes of fame to foment anger: “Zimmerman’s lawyer raises profile – and incites rage” You won’t find BBC articles on the Zimmerman trial questioning the race-baiting … Continue reading →

And time for yet another NEW Open Thread as the last one exceeds the 200 comment mark! Off you go..BBC being annoying you?…Have something to say about it..detail it HERE!

We already know how the BBC lavishes praise on the shrew Labour MP Margaret Hodge in her role as Chairman (sic) of the Public Accounts Committee. So when the Duchy of Cornwall representative William Bye was invited to appear before this Labour dominated Star Chamber, one could be sure that the BBC would fall in behind Labour is suggesting that the Duchy of Cornwall is dodging tax. There was an … Continue reading →
