The BBC seem to be having a dry run for the inevitable passing of Nelson Mandela. Now then, whilst this is much to admire about some aspects of the former South African President I do trust that they will not sanitise his terrorist past, his admiration for thugs like Mugabe and Gadaffi, and his expressed dislike of the United States. Then again……maybe the BBC see those things as further virtues?

David Miliband, the Private Pike of Politics, has fled the country. The BBC, unlike with cuddly Boris Johnson whom they find ‘a nasty piece of work’, can’t find a nasty word to say about him other than he didn’t  quite have it within himself to wield the axe on Gordon Brown’s Prime Ministerial career.   Peter Oborne in the Telegraph thinks he can help  the BBC out in digging some … Continue reading →

Time for another……

    Should you ever be stuck in a snow drift, climate change allowing, with a BBC journalist and he breaks out the ‘Travel Scrabble’ just check all the tiles are there…..I suspect it may be missing the B’s, R’s, O’s, U’s, A’s and L’s. The Government today announced changes to the NHS to prevent any more scandals as happened at Stafford Hospital under the Labour government when up to … Continue reading →

    I think it’s pretty clear that the BBC see Boris as a threat to the political consensus and Labour’s chances in 2015 if he were to somehow become leader of the Conservative Party. This is the film by Michael Cockerell investigating Boris’ worthiness to be PM: Boris Johnson:  The Irresistable rise I haven’t had time to watch it but you can always go to the end to get … Continue reading →

  There’s been a lot of talk about the overly aggressive and personal questioning of Boris Johnson by Eddie Mair on the Marr show the other day. To be honest, I see no problem in presenters having a go at the political class – so long as the venom is spread equally! And by the same token, I see no reason why the political class can also not have a … Continue reading →

  Margaret Hodge must love the BBC, she gets consistent favourable PR even when she comes out with predictable dreary Labour propaganda. The government will need to react quickly if a benefit cut for social housing tenants leads to rises in rent arrears and homelessness, MPs say. Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chair Margaret Hodge said it could have a “severe impact” on low-income families. Estimates supplied to the BBC by some of … Continue reading →

Another week of dreary and predictable bias from the State broadcaster, or Labour via the License fee as I look upon it! Time to detail the bias HERE…

And another little gem from the BBC this morning at 7.09am. At a time when the eurocrats have shot themselves in the foot with their demanded bank heist of savers deposits in Cypriot banks, the BBC’s Chris Morris was in Italy, in Rome. He was talking to the Chief Executive of an Italian bank who was assuring the world that Italy’s banks were as sound as an….erm..Euro! Morris then SUGGESTED … Continue reading →

You have to smile at the way in which the BBC moves to get the first strike in ANYTIME that Cameron starts to act in the national interest. There was this item on Today that made me laugh at the sheer inherent anti Conservative BIAS of it. God forbid we seek to place the interests of British people ahead of those of immigrants; Speaking on the Today programme Jonathan Portes, … Continue reading →
