There is only one question that needs to be asked in the debate about Welfare Benefits…and that is ‘What can we afford?‘. When there is ‘no money left’  what can we afford? That seems to have escaped the BBC who continue to question Coalition welfare reforms and the need for them on the basis that we have an endless supply of money. The BBC et al ask only … Continue reading →

You couldn’t make it up, but that doesn’t stop the BBC. Blair Supporter ‏@blairsupporter 1 Apr  Can I watch again this #JonathanCreek episode? Someone may wish to advise a lawyer.   The BBC’s ability and propensity to rewrite history is frequently mentioned on these pages…it is one of its most powerful and effective means of  ‘control’. If it cannot find any actual proof to support its narrative it can insinuate, … Continue reading →

    Twitter was outraged this morning as it woke up to the Daily Mail frontpage. The BBC, and it seems the tedious Owen Jones, are of a similar mind laying into the Mail today as it linked Philpott’s scrounging to the death of his children. A picture in the Telegraph via Guido with ‘idiot’ Jones…. @OwenJones84 The utter shameless, grotesque, vile mentality of a “newspaper” that uses the killing of … Continue reading →

      Unfortunately, all singing, all dancing he might be but all seeing he ain’t. Tony Hall the new DG has declared that the BBC is not left of centre.   As the Daily Mail asks: How can the public hope for him to address this acute problem if he won’t even acknowledge that it exists?  

    No clearer example than this to illustrate why the Today programme, and the BBC as a whole, fail so often to bring us the truth: I’m a ducker and a diver: Truth about BBC ‘welfare victim’ who dared Iain Duncan Smith to live on £53 a week  ‘I put a comment on saying David Cameron can stick his Big Society where the sun doesn’t shine, or words to … Continue reading →

      Stephen Nolan, standing in for Victoria Derbyshire interviewed Edwina Currie…and it was a fair interview with Currie given a chance to make her points and Nolan didn’t get upset, Humphrys’ style, when challenged about his use of the ‘welfare Lobby’ type phrases…or ‘slogans’ as Currie put it. Thought it was a far better interview and more informative than the adversarial interrogation we got from Humphrys with Ian … Continue reading →

  Who knows best, me or the media? I have discovered in England that sometimes the media are more crazy in some ways than the Italian media.     Does any more need to be said?  Fascism wasn’t such a problem for the BBC when he was Swindon manager in 2012.   Will Dan Hodges and the Durham Miner’s Union be demanding a boycott of the BBC now?   Had to laugh … Continue reading →

Poor IDS, the BBC hate him almost as much as they suddenly dislike Paolo Di Canio! Detail the bias here!!!

Today sees the Coalition introducing Welfare reforms. I think the BBC coverage is…ahem..interesting and wondered what you make of their impartial world class coverage?

        The BBC thinks David Miliband quitting the Board of Sunderland football club is the third most important story in the world. ‘Ex-foreign secretary David Miliband has resigned from the board of Sunderland football club over new head coach Paolo Di Canio’s “past political statements”.’     Strange that they do not take a more nuanced look at this…Miliband who is quite happy to work with IRA … Continue reading →
