Do you think the BBC et al would have been more ready to accept PC Harwood’s version of events regarding the death of Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests if Ian Tomlinson had been a Tory? From the official notebook of PC Simon Harwood recording the events that resulted in the death of Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests in London. ‘I was having a rest break after a long … Continue reading
Well, obviously what Andrew Mitchell may or may not have said to a police officer remains the single most important news story in the Universe but that aside, any other instances of BBC bias bothering you folks? Speak NOW…
Through the left wing prism of the BBC the “Arab Spring” is an unambiguously “good thing” – albeit with the odd “bump in the road” (Copyright Obama) such as the slaughter and sodomisation of the occasional American ambassador. Hence the favourable reporting of… David Cameron is expected to urge world leaders to do more to support emerging democracies of the Arab Spring, as he addresses the United Nations General Assembly for … Continue reading

The most reasonable thought might be that maybe the ‘recession’ is not as bad as painted and that it is the measurement of the GDP figures that is wrong giving us a too low estimation of the economy’s output.

Mark Thompson has left the building. Last week in fact. Perhaps now we can have a genuine outbreak of free speech at the BBC and an open discussion about religion. We all probably know Thompson’s views on the broadcasting of critical, or what some might deem offensive, programmes based on religion. If it’s Christianity essentially anything goes…as long as it can be ‘justified artistically’. Islam…..well that’s a different ball game…for … Continue reading
