Notice the BBC are crusading for what THEY claim are “Stateless” children who come to the UK perfectly legally but then “fall through the cracks”. Gosh, they cannot even claim welfare or housing benefit. Strikes me that the BBC and those advocacy “charities” it links to in this article are playing a bit fast and loose with the facts here.I suggest that many of the alleged “Stateless” should not BE … Continue reading
Anyone else out there catch Andrew Marr’s “Start the Week” this morning? It was an appalling left-wing fest featuring former Irish President and UNophile Supremo Mary Robinson and Michael Ignatieff. We had the usual BBC endorsed mix of climate change advocacy, a bit of US bashing, a generous soupcon of Israeli bashing (Well, with Mary Robinson in the house what else do you expect?) and, of course, “human rights” evangelising. Oh, … Continue reading
Mark Mardell seems to be preparing himself for a Romney win. Of course, it won’t be the President’s fault. From the BBC’s in-house magazine: Mark Mardell… Our man in Washington Millions more will turn out for the general election, but Mardell senses a great disillusionment in America and believes that this could be crucial to President Obama’s chances for reelection. Asked for a prediction, he replies that it will come … Continue reading
Anyone catch Andrew Marr’s “Obama; what happened to Hope?” elegy for President Narcissus on BBC2. Loved the casual demonisation of the Tea Party. Had to laugh at Marr’s references to “the old magic” ……I can only hope that if Romney wins, grief councillors will be on hand for the distraught BBC.
David beat me to the draw on our secret Marxist’s pro Chinese political system eulogy….I had been laughing so much since first reading it that I didn’t dare bash out a piece on it in case I choked on my own incredulity. Others are not so credulous as our Mr Jacques: China’s economic destiny in doubt after leadership shock The forces of reaction and economic folly threaten to … Continue reading
Seems the BBC are keen to keep Richard Black in the loop: Jo-Anne Pugh @jbpugh @enviroblack Hi Richard – Jo-Anne from BBC newsdesk. can you DM me ? I have an intriguing invitation for you! Intriguing. No danger of any green bias flowing from this intriguing invitation as Jo-Anne Pugh points out…… Home Desk Editor, BBC TV & Radio. I am paid to leave my opinions at … Continue reading
Given the latest news, one wonder if the BBC will accept it has presided over a culture of sexual abuse? Sexual misconduct complaints lodged with the BBC’s investigations unit now amount to allegations against almost 30 staff and presenters at the corporation, it was revealed today. The total of 29 past and present workers is more than triple the figure given by BBC director-general George Entwistle in evidence to MPs … Continue reading
There will be black ties and solemn music at the BBC should Obama lose to Romney. I hope to God Romney does win IF ONLY to see the comrades chastened. I mean with KATY PERRY on his side, how could Obama lose? Have a read through this article by Andrew Marr and note THIS casual insanity… “With a massive fiscal stimulus, Obama saved the economy from total collapse, and on … Continue reading
You have to dig to sometimes discern why the bias is there. A B-BBC reader points out: “Another revolting sinophilic article on the BBC News website in their ‘Point of View’ series (usually meaning ‘the official BBC position’). It speculates that China in more democratic than the United States. Notice how the author – Martin Jacques – is coyly described as an “economist” rather than as, say, the editor of … Continue reading
If you have been following the BBC’s coverage of the English exam marking saga you may be a little confused. As I am. I understood that the problem was that the exams in January were marked too generously…and therefore the June exams were marked more rigorously….i.e. to the proper standard. This would mean that those students taking the exams in January have in fact received grades that they may … Continue reading
