Open Thread Thursday

Dragon Den’s Khan was given plenty of airtime to make excuses about employing his daughters…but so far nothing on the Telegraph’s story of Labour donor’s tax dodge..helped by the Labour Party…. Anyway…another open thread….all yours….  

An Accident Waiting To Happen

    Compare and contrast: The Telegraph on the A&E targets: The graph that shows Labour is to blame for the pressures on A&E and Migrants partly to blame for A&E waiting times, Tory MP says   In 2004 Labour introduced GP contracts that paid them more for less work…resulting in patients going to A&E instead…and of course immigrants were ‘swamping’ the country by then as well, making use of … Continue reading

Aussie Rules

Hugely disappointed…been watching the BBC’s ‘Australia With Simon Reeves’ and it had been something different from the normal offerings we get which follow the usual beaten path showing us all the same old touristy sights and sounds. Reeves put in some effort and dug up some of the more interesting corners of Australia….but then the BBC flipped the switch and we got a BBC ‘Stepford wife’…obedient and mindless, repeating the … Continue reading

The World’s ‘Problem People’

    The last post looked at ‘Prosperity Gospel’ and what the BBC thought about its message…..the Guardian reviewed the programme and within that review one astonishing statement stood out a mile and revealed a lot about a certain mindset: ‘The whole of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, can be read as a record of people coming to terms with failure. In part this was done by the invention of a … Continue reading

God And Mammon

    The BBC once again broadcasts a programme that tears into a Christian Church as Dotun Adebayo presents a programme about the ‘Prosperity Gospel’ Church. An interesting programme about a Church that I had never heard of and probably one meriting a look at its activities….but as I said…once again the BBC goes for the Christians.   The programme tells us ….. ‘The Bible says you cannot serve both … Continue reading

FREEDOM!!!

      Freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom from England…apparently a shortage of all in Bonnie Scotland. Over 700 years ago… …tyranny and terror were the tools being used by England to rule Scotland. Occupied and oppressed, the Scottish nation sought a hero to challenge the cruelty of King Edward I. Someone to take the campaign for freedom into battle, and on to victory. When the two … Continue reading

Open Thread Monday

Another week….sunshine and endless BBC bias to uncover…what more could you want? …Just heard on radio  young people getting involved in Cameron’s ‘Big Society’ by volunteering…stick in the BBC’s throat?…it was always the ‘Big Joke’.

Holier Than Thou

The BBC, together with the Telegraph entrapped MP Patrick Mercer, and managed to get him to sign up to what he thought was an agreement with some lobbyists…he would get some money for asking some questions for them in Parliament. A lot of effort obviously went into the scheme and they got the result they wanted….an MP apparently willing to compromise his position for money. The BBC didn’t seem so … Continue reading
