Here’s a supercharged piece of rhetoric from the pen of George Monbiot….calling for revolution to save the planet. What’s interesting is that if you replace ‘Neo-Liberal’ with ‘BBC Liberal Left Elite’ it makes a whole lot more sense….the Left’s  ‘self hate’ of the West, the refusal to act against potent threats, the extreme political doctrine, the protection of elitist interests, the refusal to listen to the ‘People’, the determination … Continue reading →

That’s a question I also asked myself when I  read that the BBC are making a film based on Rowling’s latest effort…..Rowling publishes her book and the BBC are straight in there with their cheque book, and our cash, to produce a film that will no doubt be a ‘damning indictment’ of Cameron’s Britain…not … Continue reading →

  The BBC have gone strangely quiet on this story from think tank ‘Cambridge Econometrics’: ‘Large-scale investment in offshore wind would generate more wealth for the economy and create more jobs than relying on gas-fired power plants, a report suggested on Tuesday.

      That’s right 6 Mouseketeers…count ’em…one, two, three…..er…maybe four… The BBC’s own arithmetic doesn’t add up……Do you remember being asked abot animal testing by the BBC?…I wasn’t. So where do they get the figure of 1/3 of Briton’s wanting a test ban?….the same figure has been used on news bulletins unqualified by the fact that the figure was derived from a poll of a mere 1,000 people……   … Continue reading →

The brief describes which … Continue reading →

I’m away at the moment on a short break but have found the time for this new OPEN thread! I will keep an eye on things!

      The BBC has produced a modernised version of anti-Semitism…you don’t have to be Jewish and rich…just be rich….. and they’ll come for you. The Cavalry Ain’t Coming. That’s right…the Cavalry ain’t coming despite what the BBC tells  you. The BBC’s most fervent efforts go into building the mythology  of  the Socialist Cavalry riding to the rescue of the poor and downtrodden on the BBC’s favourite hobby horse…massive … Continue reading →
