The BBC are never keen to associate anything with Islam, especially if it has negative connotations. You may well be a Muslim embarking on a Holy war and declaring such in a video…but the BBC will edit out your declaration of Jihad and claim you’re just a criminal madman. That tends to change when associating Islam with something that will foster a better perception of Muslims. We recently had reports of … Continue reading →

If today you have been following, as best you can, the reports and analysis tumbling headlong out of the media about the furore over GCSE results you are possibly  none the wiser. Do we know if marking is more rigorous, or ‘brutal’ as Evan Davis put it, do we know if exams themselves have been made more difficult, do we know if the pass mark boundaries have been moved? I’m in … Continue reading →

‘Policy Exchange’ were constantly referred to as a right leaning think tank, or even as a think tank ‘close to David Cameron’ this week by the BBC. The IPPR today, at least on the radio, have had no such label attached to them…that of being Labour’s pet think tank…wonder why when you look at their new thoughts on petrol pricing: From Guido: ‘Labour wonk-shop IPPR have declared war on the … Continue reading →

Stephanie Flander’s must have got hold of Gordon Brown’s crystal ball now that he has no use for it for predicting our economic future…’no more boom and bust’. Here she is in 2011 telling us to relax, it’s all good, the future is rosy, unless you’re Greek: ‘Everyone says that heightened talk of a Greek default is proof that last year’s bail-out has “failed”. But you could make a strong case … Continue reading →

The BBC were blasted by Tory Ian Duncan Smith for their insistence that falling unemployment figures  were bad for the economy in some mysterious way….now the Empire is striking back. The release of the latest borrowing figures ironically (considering they have been calling for more borrowing) led to the BBC having the opportunity to launch a counter attack on the Tories. They also constantly slip in Flander’s question demanding to know why employment … Continue reading →

OK folks, I may be tempting providence but looks like we are back in business. As ever, my first thanks go to ASE for his HOURS of work fixing this. None of you will fully understand the late hours (all unpaid) that has gone in to resurrecting the site. I believe there were corrupted data bases and the like involved – hence the total down time! Anyhoo – we are … Continue reading →

I have been waiting for the BBC to leap into action over allegations of Tory  sleaze, corruption and conflicts of interest, so far they have maintained radio silence on the matter. Normally they would be turning the screw in no uncertain manner…but not in this case…why not? Is it because Tory Tim Yeo is in the business of promoting the fable of man made climate change and therefore ‘my enemy’s … Continue reading →

This is an update to this post.   The BBC have explained why they completely messed up the weather forecast. First thing to know is that they didn’t mess up. Second thing to know is that, no, they didn’t ignore the computer model. Third thing to know is that they ignored LOTS of computer models from all over Europe. Why?  Because they all gave different results, or as the BBC put … Continue reading →
