A Biased BBC reader brings this to our attention… “Take a listen to this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/globalnews#playepisode3 especially at 4.00 mins in.  Lyse Douchet says that Ahmadinejad is “quite uncontroversial…quite Messianic…” as if that’s quite OK.  Does she realise the apocalyptic views behind his “being Messianic”? (Hint – he wants to wipe the country where another Messiah hailed from “off the face” of the Earth) Just imagine if the Archbishop of Canterbury were PM and … Continue reading →

Sorry we could not do the QT Liveblog last night, the ongoing server issue haunts us. My thanks to Billy over at KebabTime for manfully stepping into the breach! Anyway, what with all the hassle I though a fresh top of screen OPEN THREAD might help!

This is the short version of ‘Mrs Thatcher’s Favourite Economist’…a mere 3 pages instead of 12….having said that the programme was so packed full of things you could object to it had to be done.  However many may not want to read that much….. Stephanie Flanders looks at the economic theories of three economists in the ‘Masters Of Money’. Keynes, Hayek and Marx. Why those three? If she reduces the … Continue reading →

Hopes stoked for quicker recovery from recession as GDP fall is revised for the second time This post is sort of apt in relation to the previous one on ‘No political  advertising in the UK’….the BBC has just engaged in one of its most blatant pro Labour, pro spending fluff pieces in the shape of Flanders’ Masters of Money.’   This is a long, long look at that series….it could … Continue reading →

I’ve received several emails from Biased BBC readers concerning this story – the BBC reporting of the sexual grooming of young white girls by men of “Pakistani origin” (aka Muslim)in Rochdale  It almost seems as if the BBC is determined to sanitise the link between Islam and predatory sexual activity. Everyone and everything is to blame, it seems, apart from that which propels these deviants – namely their faith system.

Should a serving British Prime Minister lower himself to the tack that is the Letterman show? I don’t really think so but obviously Cameron, that PR “expert”, thought otherwise. The BBC has been convulsing itself that the PM was ……gasp…. unable to identify the composer of Rule Britannia. Oh my, the shame of it. Further, just in case you needed a little extra prompting, scroll down the sub-heading “Not very … Continue reading →

Quite extraordinary. This report from the BBC , the headline report, about Nick Clegg’s speech entirely misses out his dire warnings about the result of not continuing with ‘austerity’. The Telegraph highlights it. Public spending threatens tolerant society, says Nick Clegg Public spending is threatening to undermine the country’s economic prosperity and needs to be “completely redirected”, the Deputy Prime Minister has warned. So yes, if we fail to deal … Continue reading →

I am by no means up to speed on the truth about the effectiveness of windfarms in reducing CO2 emissions, though I know one of the most obvious downsides….that you need another ‘always-on’ source of generation as a back up….as such any information that sheds light on the subject would be welcome..Just don’t rely on the BBC to provide it. This is an interesting tale from Colonel Blimp in the … Continue reading →
