A B-BBC reader write; “It is quite widely known that ‘child asylum seekers’ are a scandal, with many young adults claiming to be minors for all the benefits and care that being ‘child’ reufgee brings, including the chance to be supported at school for a couple of years , improving your English and gaining some qualifications before havign to support yourself in Britain.

Hi all! I’ve taken a little break from the daily chores here but will be back next Monday. It’s funny but having endured BBC news in the past few weeks it makes me want to return here as their bias is not just visceral but also profoundly destructive in so many ways. But wanted to thank Alan, David DB and Craig for keeping the show rock and rolling in my … Continue reading
The BBC seem always to be ambivalent about Muslim violence and free speech and tend to side with the view that such protests are the result of centuries of Western colonisation, imperial exploitation and cultural imposition. Wonder what they will make of this: An Iranian cleric is claiming that two young girls beat him up after he told one of them to cover up and dress more conservatively. The report … Continue reading
Cats look down on you Dogs look up to you Pigs look you straight in the eye and treat you as an equal The BBC doesn’t give a shit what you think. The BBC?…..‘good examples of moderate, liberal devotion to the idea of a polite, eggheaded vanguard, without whom the proles get distracted, confused, besieged, and eventually succumb to the terminal disease of false consciousness.

The images the BBC won’t even describe. The individual cartoons can be seen here.
As requested, and the last one’s nearly off the page.
Biodegradeable posted a transcript of Romney’s ‘Palestine’ comments and it gave me a kick up the backside to read the full transcript of his speech…and as even Mark Mardell is forced to admit….‘He actually sounds a lot more politically savvy than he does on the stump.‘ So Mardell admits Romney’s talking sense? You would be hard pushed to judge that from the BBC’s reports, including Mardell’s, on the subject … Continue reading
Scrub that last post about Duggan…Mark Easton just explained the riots, it was police bad manners that sparked the riots.
I wonder if the BBC will return to Duggan’s mother and ask her if she still thinks her son was ‘assassinated’ or ‘executed’? The BBC were quite happy to allow her to say such things repeatedly on numerous interviews unchallenged. When you consider that the shooting of Duggan sparked off mass rioting in which people died, lives wrecked and numerous buildings destroyed by arson you’d think the BBC would be … Continue reading
