During the highly successful Olympics last year Labour’s Tessa Jowell was a constant guest on the BBC being Labour’s ‘Olympics Minister’. The BBC presumably keen to let the success of the Olympics rub off on Labour and for Tessa Jowell to take the plaudits. From 2005-2009 possibly over 1000 patients died because of negligence and appalling lack of care at an NHS hospital. From 2005-2009 Labour was in power and … Continue reading
Read this BBC report and you would be given the distinct impression that the utter shambles of the NHS PFI schemes are in fact a Tory led Coalition (To use the preferred BBC moniker) disaster….and you would also not realise that Hinchingbrooke Hospital would have closed had it not been privatised. You would have no idea that Peterborough Hospital was a Labour Government plan, read the article and it deliberately … Continue reading
Hi folks. I’m currently in the Hague on business and thus beyond the remit of the BBC. But this is for you poor souls who listen to it today!
Dame Helen Mirren, once of the Socialist Worker‘s Party tells us: “I was never a left-winger, actually,” she told Time Out. “I was a pretend left-winger because it was more interesting than being a right-winger. I never really embraced the ideology because socialists were so sexist and racist.” How true…it seems: The BBC were happy to give some good publicity to this junket backed by the Socialist Worker’s Party: Slutwalk … Continue reading

Definitely worth a listen whether you are pro or anti-mass immigration. Shame the BBC hides such a revealing programme away. I can only imagine that once they had listened to it they realised it was too likely to bolster the ‘anti’ case. Two things of … Continue reading
Must just be a coincidence that the latest series of Mrs Brown’s Boys had a theme of gay marriage…and the final episode, with a stern lecture to the priesthood on ‘love’, was broadcast the night before a Commons vote on the subject. I imagine someone thinks every little bit of pressure helps the Cause however unlikely. Having said that..not so unlikely….most people would listen to the rib … Continue reading
Monday arrives and so does this! Off you go…
Typical BBC spinning history to make Israel look like the villain in this Q&A article about the recent Israeli airstrike on Hezbollah weapons and a related facility in Syria. The only real background context to the conflict you get is this: Syria and Israel have been technically in a state of war since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The main grievance is over Israel’s occupation of … Continue reading
2 NEWS REPORTS. Guess what is missing from this first one from BBC … Here you go….
Dodging questions of course not taxes. Just adding a little to David’s earlier piece on Margaret Hodge…the more you look the less savoury the view…..one QC saying that Hodge’s and her fellow MP’s comments on the tax affairs of the likes of Amazon, Google and Starbucks is an ‘unprincipled attack on the rule of law’. Hodge is very protective of her reputation….no problem there for her…the BBC at least … Continue reading
