Well, it may have been budget day for you running jackals of the capitalist oppressors of the workers BUT back in the Narnia of the BBC, we were treated to an programme called “Lenin in Letchworth” … In 1907 Lenin attended a congress of exiled communists in London that helped plan the overthrow of the Russian tsar a decade later. It was during this momentous event that the Soviet Union’s … Continue reading →

Hi folks! Been away for a short while but am b-b-back! Now then, I know today was Budget Day and wondered what you reckoned to BBC coverage. Personally, I found it hard to distinguish between the line taken by Ed Miliband and that retailed by Stephanie Flanders! I feel sorry for Osborne – the ONLY way the BBC was going to give him good coverage was it it started adopting … Continue reading →

    It seems the BBC really are entirely unaccountable…even when caught red handed they scheme to rewrite the history books and portray themselves as the wronged innocents. The BBC has taken the opportunity of the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq to settle old scores. Con Coughlin in the Telegraph spells out the BBC’s problem with the truth: The BBC just cannot accept that Iraq is a better … Continue reading →

    John Cleese: ‘The BBC management have never written and never directed programmes’ Monty Python star John Cleese complains that BBC execs are out of touch with the creative process.   The truth is the BBC management are out of touch with just about every aspect of British life….not reflecting the real thoughts and opinions of the majority of people.   The BBC are only interested in themselves and … Continue reading →

John Humphrys this morning presented a programme examining the state of the Christian religion: For the faithful it’s a time of celebration and anticipation, a welcome relief from the problems of recent times. Recent decades have seen both churches beset by a series of issues and scandals: child sex abuse and ecclesiastical cover-ups; the place and role of women within the church; falling congregations; tensions arising from human rights and … Continue reading →

   This morning on the Today programme John Simpson gave us an almost upbeat report on Iraq’s prospects: ‘Iraq’s future is starting to look brighter – if only its people were allowed a little peace. So does this mean the invasion was justified? Iraqis are divided about it. Shias and Kurds, the big beneficiaries from Saddam’s overthrow, tend to agree. Most Sunnis, the big losers from it, do not.’   … Continue reading →

Time for another one of these…a bit late but here we go ….

  The BBC have, in their wisdom, decreed that climate change is occurring, it is man-made and that it is resulting in ever more extreme, or weird, weather. They have established between themselves that because the science is settled there need be no debate about that science…all that is left to do is to convince us, the Public, that the measures that are being taken to lessen the impact of … Continue reading →

This morning on the Today programme  (51 mins)we had the pleasure of Labour’s Margaret Hodge …..not to be questioned as to the tax dealings of her brother’s company Stemcor, or her use of family trusts, but to be given free rein to slander and malign the Coalition’s attempts to deal with tax avoidance. She was allowed to claim that the Coalition had no policies, no staff  or investment to tackle … Continue reading →

This may be of interest to the more expert of our readers who can probably show me where I have gone wrong in my calculations…the BBC are pretty quick to highlight apparent success of power generation by ‘renewables’…but should they be digging a bit deeper…are wind turbines any where near as good as even the very modest claims that are made for them?   Having seen the BBC report on … Continue reading →
