This post has a look back to 2005 when Richard Curtis was given a platform by the BBC to campaign against ‘poverty’. It looks at the BBC’s response to questions about the impartiality of allowing Curtis to, as some might say, hijack the BBC and then it looks at whether the BBC has actually changed its ways or does it still take part in campaigns run by … Continue reading →

  In the previous post, ‘Old Times’  I showed a ‘joke’ that made obvious links to the Holocaust…it was made without any comment or links to the BBC. I wanted people’s reaction to what is a highly offensive ‘joke’, but reactions uncompromised by any commenter’s own prejudices or bias…possibly influenced by my interpretation….that especially so for the critics of this site who so often ignore the narrative of a post and attack the … Continue reading →

    Angela Merkel meets the Prime Minister of Israel: ‘Here we are remembering old times.”     See here to find out what this post is about.          

Here’s the BBC’s North America editor Mark Mardell on today’s From Our Own Correspondent explaining why Benghazi hasn’t been a big deal for journalists such as himself: Conservatives have long suggested a cover-up, that the authorities removed words the State Department objected to, particularly the word “terrorism”.

        Blimey…Ian Hills in the comments has pointed out that Ian Katz’s wife runs Mumsnet…you  know that organisation that all the politicians run scared of: From Wikipedia:  Mumsnet was conceived in early 2000 when Justine Roberts embarked on a disastrous family holiday.

    To the BBC the BNP are racist, violent thugs, but Scottish Nationalists are romantic rebels fighting for a free Scotland.   Nigel Farage doesn’t agree and he’s not impressed with the BBC either: Nigel Farage condemns ‘fascist scum’ who forced him to take refuge in Edinburgh pub The Ukip leader Nigel Farage has condemned the “fascist scum” who forced him to take refuge in an Edinburgh pub and hung up … Continue reading →

  A pretty disgraceful treatment of Christians by the BBC in comparison with their treatment of Muslims…here playing up claims that Christians are trying to outbreed Muslims…whilst at the same time the BBC downplays suggestions that Muslims might outbreed Non-Muslims in Europe. The Telegraph tells us that: ‘ almost one in 10 under 25s in Britain is now a Muslim.’   The BBC constantly states that Islam is a Religion of … Continue reading →

  Bishop Hill points out why Katz ticks many of the BBC’s boxes when it comes to recruiting talent as demonstrated by this article by Katz demanding action on climate change: The beauty of 10:10 is that it’s both achievable and meaningful The world’s response to global warming is a classic case of all mouth and no trousers. This new initiative aims to show that we can all act now … Continue reading →

A bit liked the Augean Stables the BBC bias is non stop and is a task beyond normal mortals to clean up…having no handy rivers to divert through Broadcasting House to flush it out…all we have is the torrent of good advice and comment from you….go for it!  

    The old question that was used to demonstrate the futility of a particular line of thought was ‘How many angels could you fit on the head of a pin?’…the new question is ‘How many ‘Mainstream Scientists’ can you get into a Roger Harrabin report on global warming’? 　   On the Today programme this morning Harrabin was going through the usual smoke and mirrors routine that he has … Continue reading →
