FERAL CITIES

  Paul Weston in the comments on a previous post claims that ‘The idea that Britain could erupt into tribal/religious bloodshed and carnage is simply not accepted by these ignorant children within the BBC who know nothing of history.’   Some readers might be thinking that is over the top, there is absolutely no danger of that happening here. Very recent history says different…just think of the Balkans….or Northern Ireland…if … Continue reading

Passing The Buck

  The BBC has decided it should take lobbying of politicians seriously…not in this country where Unite can rig elections and ‘swamp’ the Labour candidate list for MEPs….and all with Miliband’s approval (ignored by the BBC)……and not in the case of conflicts of interest such as when the BBC ignored completely the revelations about Tim Yeo and his massive green industry financial interests whilst at the same time being chairman … Continue reading

Open Bias

    Is the BBC biased? looks at a suggestion in the Telegraph: Of course people at the BBC are biased: why not make a virtue of it?

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. One assumes that the recession created by Labour might … Continue reading

Rottweiller or Lapdog?

    The BBC’s Rottweiller turns out to be a bit of a lapdog. John Humphrys fresh from his carpeting by the BBC Trust for being too right wing is proving his loyalty to the Corporation by pulling the wool over listener’s ears. The BBC had steadfastly ignored recent reports of the hacking of phones by private investigators for hundreds of companies, as well as law firms and other organisations…..might … Continue reading
