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 →

Some more wide open acres of blog to note the BBC’s foul play for those not out enjoying the sunshine.

Up to 20,000 patients may have died unnecessarily under the care of the NHS. Whilst they have been given a decent burial the BBC seems to be attempting to bury the bad news…or at least the Labour Party’s involvement in it as the government of the day. The BBC has consistently, across different platforms, avoided using the word ‘Labour’ when talking about this subject…even in a 10 minute interview with … Continue reading →

  A Lancet report suggests that troops coming back from the frontline are more likely to be violent. Nicky Campbell is running a phone-in asking:  ‘Does the Army mess you up?’ When we have Muslim suicide bombers telling us they are acting in the name of Islam does the BBC ask:  ‘Does being a Muslim mess you up?’ No…it says they are madmen or criminals perverting that glorious religion.   … Continue reading →

   Via Bishop Hill   This video demonstrates perfectly why the BBC’s refusal to engage in debate about climate change is a damning breach of trust as it abandons its own values and responsibilities to ‘inform, educate and  entertain’. There are three main questions that need to be answered when talking about climate change: 1.  Is climate change happening? 2. If so what is causing that change? 3. Is any … Continue reading →

  Compare and contrast the two very different reports on the same subject, MEPS reject the cuts negotiated recently in the EU budget, one from the Telegraph, MEPs reject EU spending cuts and demand extra £1.7bn from British taxpayers MEPs have rejected cuts to European Union budgets agreed at an all-night summit last month and have demanded that national governments pay an extra £14 billion in spending for this year. … Continue reading →

    It is customary for news providers to only bring us the bad news…bad news sells. As former American vice-president Spiro Agnew said:  ‘Bad news drives out good news.’ The BBC has become a pioneer of a new type of journalism in which only good news is broadcast….at least when the news comes from Germany. Germany is a happy land, happy to be in the Euro, happy to have … Continue reading →
