The BBC shelved a Newsnight investigation into allegations that Sir Jimmy Savile sexually abused a teenage girl in his dressing room at Television Centre, it has emerged. The woman claimed that the presenter molested her when she was 14 or 15 after inviting her to recordings of Clunk Click, his 1970s BBC family show. Newsnight tracked … Continue reading
Ever wondered where Flanders gets her more interesting ideas? You know those whacky, just might work in a month of sundays type ideas. Here could be the answer……..The BBC’s favourite economist Paul Krugman lays it on the line…Not Plan B, or Z or X….but Plan UFO….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jzvMGuRXvs Having watched the video can’t help thinking they’re here already.
We’ve heard a lot about the Muslim sex gangs in Rotherham and elsewhere and the failure to act by any of those in authority due to concerns about race and culture. Part of that was of course that the girls were white and working class….they didn’t count quite as much as the nice daughters of the social workers or policemen or media who looked on and who decided to … Continue reading
From the BBC’s very own ‘Civilisation’ series by Kenneth Clark. Seems that much has been conveniently forgotten since 1969 about the beneficial effects of a nice summer’s day (and it would seem about Christianity and the Church authority as well….keep watching) The Great Thaw There have been times in the history of mankind when the earth becomes warmer or more radioactive. I don’t put this forward as a … Continue reading
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
A Biased BBC advises… “Have you read this stuff? http://clairebolderson.com/blog/ And she is still broadcasting. Here is the latest” .http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mk5br
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
As David pointed out the BBC piece on Cameron’s Letterman test encapsulated the beeboid world view so perfectly that it was hovering on the borders of self parody. Indeed one wonders if, like the scribblers at Pravda or the Volkischer Beobachter, the beeb’s hacks fall about laughing at the barefaced hypocrisy of the drivel they purvey…. Mr Cameron prompted the loudest applause of the evening when he explained that Britain … Continue reading
