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 →

Here we go and as requested! Take aim, ready, aim, fire!

Here she is – the BBC’s much loved Margaret Hodge. Did you catch her whining away during the Public Accounts Committee set to at the “Big 4” accountancy companies. Did you hear the gushing reverential tone the BBC adopted when reviewing her performance?  Like all the hard left, they just love the idea of bashing those who seek to stop Government from raiding profits of private enterprise. I think it … Continue reading →

  Warning..some graphic photos   Heart warming tale from the BBC about converts to Islam…part of a series in which we will also see Muslims convert to Christianity…..as well as converts to Buddism, those becoming Hindus and Sikhs, and Jews ‘fleeing’ Judaism as they can no longer stand the Zionist oppression of Palestinians. I might have made some of that up.   However the BBC programme on Muslim converts is … Continue reading →

The BBC only reported the antics of the racists of the ‘Muslim Patrol’ when forced to by ever increasing revelations and coverage by other news organisations.   The BBC has learnt its lesson and now rapidly publishes all such incidents of religiously inspired hate: Family quits Bingham after anti-Muslim attacks ‘A Muslim family say they have been forced to move from their home after offensive graffiti and a cross wrapped … Continue reading →

  In a blatant day of pro-Labour political spin the BBC have been giving massive publicity to a report by what is almost, in essence, a Labour Party front  organisation, The Resolution Foundation,  which claims millions of the poorest will have whatever is left of their meagre income further shrunken by councils ‘forced’ to make cuts in council tax benefits to the poorest because of heartless Government cuts…. or as … Continue reading →

  The BBC was today accused of working with Labour to maximise ‘political damage’ of spending cuts in an escalation of tensions with the government. ‘Gullible’ BBC acting as backing band to Labour’s attacks on spending cuts, claims Eric Pickles in fresh attack on TV news Communities Secretary steps up criticism of the BBC reporting Claims Labour is behaving like a 1980s tribute act with local BBC acting as a … Continue reading →

The last Open Thread seems to be bulging at the seams so here we go again……  

‘It’s surely not just me who, reading this, thinks of the BBC telling us, in the brazen untruth akin to O’Brien convincing Winston Smith that two plus two equals five, that we’re all going to fry and then drown. Perhaps 2013 isn’t so different from Nineteen Eighty-Four.’  Apologies to Stuart Jeffries of the Guardian….the irony of that.       Just as famous film stars such as John Wayne, Noel … Continue reading →

    The BBC fought a long war against the Iraq war and the ‘war on terror’, their fight began in fact by campaigning against the start of the Afghan war in 2001. The fight continues.  Having taken a drubbing from Hutton the BBC never misses a chance to ‘correct’ history and to change your perceptions and views  of the various wars. The latest piece of re-education is from ‘Book … Continue reading →
