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
I can see the last thread is overflowing so here is a NEW one for you!
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
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
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
Had to laugh at this from the BBC. The great speeches written but never given. NIXON. JFK. EISENHOWER and ….yup, DAVID MILIBAND!!
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
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
With lots of changes to Welfare coming in next month, the BBC has been to the fore in pointing out these will hut “the poor”. I was on BBC Three Counties earlier this week debating these changes with someone from the Resolution Foundation (A Labour front masquerading as a “independent think tank”. The issue under debate was the reduction in subsidy from Central government to local government in housing benefit. … Continue reading
Following on from my Mandela post, I see the Telegraph reports that BBC staff who went on strike yesterday said they were prepared to return to their desks if Nelson Mandela died, however the staff’s generosity stopped there. After news that the 94-year-old was in hospital broke, union leaders declared that in “the sad event of his death, and for BBC news coverage of that story only” the staff would … Continue reading
