This post brings to light an astonishingly blatant lie by the BBC, one that is intended to smash Thatcher’s reputation and claim she, and the ‘deeply unpopular’ Conservatives, would never have won the 1983 election if the British Public had known the ‘truth‘ about ‘secret’ negotiations to sell out the Falkland Islanders to the Argentinians. The BBC line is also a betrayal of all who served and fought to … Continue reading →

The Today programme is letting go of the controls and allowing the Great British Public to work the machine in the guise of guest editors. Or not.   The guest editors are the usual bunch of ‘safe hands’ who can be relied upon to toe the party line and not rock the boat…… Sir Paul Nurse who believes strongly that scientists have a duty to speak out about science in … Continue reading →

We all know the BBC has decided that the ‘science is settled’ with regard to climate change being man made…..strangely however the BBC constantly tells us that science is a ‘process’ (a line no doubt picked up from Dr Joe Smith) and that science is all about doubt and questioning results. The BBC for some reason does not think that applies to climate change despite there being no ‘proof’ of … Continue reading →

Here you go folks, a NEW open thread as I see the old one is as full as Lord Patten’s ego.

The US “Fiscal cliff” stand-off is now firmly embedded as part of the Panto season. BBC has been covering  it but only from the usual pro-Obama sycophantic mode. Were one to take what the BBC reports one would assume that Obama has not played any role in creating the circumstances leading to the fiscal crisis that now confronts the United States.  Instead he is portrayed as “deus ex machina”, bravely … Continue reading →

The BBC seems to think SOME stories from the Irish Republic are of great interest. For example, take this story from yesterday. It concerns calls for a road upgrade in Donegal following a car accident. Hardly scintillating BUT they did seem to catch it so one assumes so one was paying attention. But ODDLY enough, this story gets no publicity whatsoever. It concerns the allegation that a senior Sinn Fein member … Continue reading →

      Yes, in this season of good will to all men the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen extends the hand of friendship towards the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.    (0810) Many people doubt their democratic intentions…Bowen tells us that some people go so far as to suggest their actions are a ‘blow against Democracy‘….but he thinks not….this is merely the birth pains of any new state…the Egyptians are merely ‘learning how … Continue reading →

Lord Patten has been on the phone to me and he says that this new OPEN THREAD carries his full endorsement and enjoys his total confidence! Honest. DETAIL the bias here.

I know it’s been a challenging year and the domain change imposed on me has not helped BUT nonetheless it has been also a good year here on the site and I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for coming here and venting your spleen! A very Happy Christmas to you all!

Here is a little advice for Barbara Plett and all those others at the BBC who casually use Palestinian propaganda language; “It’s not “Occupied Palestinian land” – but in fact, part of the historic Jewish homeland, Judea from where the very name “Jew” originates (and was recognised as the Jewish homeland internationally under the League of Nations Mandate, Balfour Declaration, San Remo Treaty, etc.). The “West Bank” was illegally occupied … Continue reading →
