But you’d be wrong.  Could it be that the first report below about the high cost of wind farms reveals Labour to have made an enormous, expensive error…maybe an ‘omnishambles’…and that the green agenda is going to cost everyone an absolute fortune with no guarantee that we will see any elecricity at the end of it all…..two of the BBC’s pet projects…the Labour Party and the Green agenda…..both … Continue reading →

      You may often come to the conclusion that BBC presenters are ignorant of the subjects on which they are interviewing  and have undue reliance on, or respect for, the interviewee ‘expert’ and subsequently fail to challenge him or her on  their statements…either out of lack of subject knowledge, too much deference or all too often a set of beliefs which are in line with those being stated … Continue reading →

I see that the police trade union has been busy using the BBC  for a little scaremongering and shakedownism! “The number of young police officers in England and Wales has fallen by nearly 50% in two years. There were 9,088 officers aged under 26 in 2009-10 but only 4,758 in 2011-12, figures obtained by the BBC show.

BBC have been bigging up Heseltine’s attack on Cameron’s alleged desire to negotiate new relationship with EU. They have kept this narrative going all week. First, US criticism of putative changes in EU relationship, then German,  now Hezza.  I suppose anyone who stabs Thatcher in back is assured BBC gratitude?

Sometimes, I hear things on the BBC that make me do a double take For the past day the BBC has been trolling the notion that half the worlds food “is thrown away” with UK supermarkets getting accused of wanton waste. On Today this morning, Evan Davies speculated that “Supermarkets give us things we do not want” and therefore end up jinking such produce. What a remarkably stupid and left … Continue reading →

Better late than never and by popular request! BBC bothering you? Detail it here!!!!

The BBC’s environment correspondent Matt McGrath reveals that when the science doesn’t match his beliefs he doesn’t bother with the science: I don’t know about you, but the recent row about Met Office climate predictions and a slowdown in global warming has left me shrugging my shoulders. Yes, obviously the science is important and the issue is critical to our survival as species etc etc, but arguments about experimental models … Continue reading →
