MI6 Complicit in Torture

Or not…look away quick….the torture was by Palestinians on Palestinians.  ‘In the Nineties, we used to torture them badly. We beat them hard and we made them like a car that doesn’t function. But we were defending our home, the region and the rest of the world. I am happy it was justified.’  Hooded, hanged and left in agony for hours on end: Palestinian security chief tells how he has … Continue reading

Holy Moolah

          Rowan Williams, ex Archbishop, recently walked along his local high street.  As he went he cast lavish quantities of £10 notes down upon the ground amongst the good people of the city. He was astonished to see them throng about him in a frenzy picking up his largesse as fast as they could. The good Rowan concluded that this was an obvious sign that the people … Continue reading

BLESSED ARE THE IDLE..

On Easter Sunday, the BBC decides that its lead story is an attack by four Churches on the Coalition plan to try and reduce Welfarism in the UK.Conveniently, this dovetails into the Labour meme that welfare cuts are aimed at “the most vulnerable” and “the poorest” rather than the skiving subclass that parasites off those of us who can be bothered to get out of bed each day and work. … Continue reading

The BBC’s Stranglehold On News

The BBC’s monopoly of online News looks to be growing ever bigger as the Telegraph puts up a paywall…….via Guido:     Digital First Telegraph Go Behind Semi-Paywall   Non-subscribers will now be limited to just 20 free articles a month as the new “Digital First” Telegraph goes behind a paywall. It seems to be an FT-style half-and-half-measure. If you want to carry on reading you will have to fork out … Continue reading

ON THE BALL….

A Biased BBC reader send this and thought it worth sharing! ‘BBC 1 Breakfast are bringing me alarming reports that England football fans ‘sang racist chants’ recently. This all has to be gone into and investigated they insist, since it simply has to be stamped out. I’ve come to be a little wary of what the BBC tell me. Particularly when there is a vagueness about their reports and some … Continue reading

NUTS

The teaching unions are revolting.  Looks like the NUT are going…wait for it…to pass a vote of “No confidence” in Michael Gove.  Oh, and Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw. Were I Gove,  I would be encouraged to get the comrades gander up  -but the BBC clearly see the wrath of the Unions as a major damnation for the Education Secretary! I was on BBC5 Live last night debating the Teacher Unions … Continue reading

The BBC rewrites the Bible

You’ve got to give it to the BBC…they are if nothing else, completely unbiased when it comes to matters of religion. They rewrote the Koran, reforming Islam on the way, writing out  all  the nasty stuff about killing unbelievers and imperatives not to make friends with Christians and Jews….it is officially ‘The Religion of Peace’ now.   And they have now rewritten the Bible and changed how the Christian Faith … Continue reading

That’s Not Me, That’s Not My Africa

This is perhaps a classic example of why the BBC should not be a ‘campaigning’ organisation, one that takes sides or a particular narrow view of any concern….the inevitable unintended results that follow a lot of ‘do-goodery’ are often more harmful than those that would have resulted from taking a wider, more nuanced, perspective and not resulting a one size fits all solution. In 1984 the BBC broadcast reports from Ethiopia … Continue reading
