The BBC is eager, as we have recently seen from its behaviour when covering the Boston Marathon bombings,  to suppress any speculation that Muslims may have been involved. This is merely a continuation of a policy that it has adopted and carried out in the UK for a long time in the hope of breaking any association between Islam and terrorism or indeed any activities that would reflect badly upon … Continue reading →

    Man made climate change is the result of fossil fuels burnt in Western Industrial nations……developing nations are to be ‘allowed’ to burn fossil fuels because it is only fair that they catch up on the ‘progress’ of the developed nations who otherwise would have an entrenched advantage for the foreseeable future.   Michael Mann’s ‘Hockey Stick’ graph was said to be the ‘smoking gun’ in the evidence draw … Continue reading →

And so it begins….Operation Smokescreen.   When the 7/7 bombs went off the BBC went into overdrive to blame British society for the actions of the bombers….asking ‘What turned such bright, young British Muslims into terrorists?’ They had to change their tune fairly rapidly when they realised that wasn’t playing well with a Public that had just seen 52 people murdered and over 700 injured by men claiming to be … Continue reading →

    You couldn’t make it up……this from the BBC: Boston bombing: How internet detectives got it very wrong For the past 48 hours, internet users have been working with each other to piece together clues about the culprits of the Boston bombings.

This was based on no more … Continue reading →

(Updates added below) Here’s how BBC Radio Five Live’s 1pm news bulletin dealt with the Boston bombing on Tuesday 16 April: listen to ‘BBC R5L news bulletin on Boston bombs, 16.4.13’ on Audioboo Jonathan Marcus: “The United States has a very large and well-developed group of radical extremists of their own. People I suppose you would categorise as being on the far-right, people who are opposed to federal authority, particularly … Continue reading →

  The BBC have given over acres of broadcasting real estate to the critics of Mrs Thatcher who claim that she destroyed the mining industry. I can’t say that they’ve given equal prominence to the fact that, as stated many times across other media, that Labour closed more mines than Mrs Thatcher. They do have space for this though: Why the fuss over George Osborne’s tears? Are they merely trying … Continue reading →

Warrior and healer Obama has a tough task as innocents die, says Mark Mardell Mardell doesn’t say he believes Obama is an inspirational warrior prophet but clearly he thinks Obama is heaven sent….leaving us with this thought about Obama….. ‘He is at his best when his words seek to leave the world a different place.’ Get a room!  

    The BBC are continuing down the road of pointing the finger of blame at white, far right groups or individuals  and other domestic possible candidates for the Boston bombing…..you have to ask on what evidence?….other than the coincidence of the date of the attack there is nothing else to go on. The German centre left publication Süddeutsche Zeitung writes: “Hysteria is the triumph of terror, but America has … Continue reading →
