Paint It Black

  Martin Bright tells us  what we know to be true already….‘Supporters of Israel are losing the battle of ideas in the UK. This has probably been true for some time, if only they would admit it.’ A major part of this failure to get across the truth  can be laid at the BBC’s door who continually concentrate on the negative about Israel.  Israeli military  operations are always violent, aggressive, out … Continue reading

Muslim Brotherhood Calls For Violence – Jeremy Bowen Unavailable For Comment

CHUFFING HECK

  The BBC have produced a nice piece of propaganda  for the government putting the case for High Speed Trains….attempting to both use the romance of rail travel and some ‘hard facts’ that suggest large government HST can save us from disaster. It is in fact a rather curious piece for the BBC in that it not only enthuses about private investment in the railways, it has a wonderfully ‘Monty … Continue reading

OMG! OBAMA IS, LIKE, THE COOLEST EVA!! HOPE HE WINS LOL :)

Believe it or not the following tweets are not by a 14-year-old schoolboy with a vague interest in US politics but an adult male BBC journalist: Whatever his faults or criticisms – #Obama is the coolest president there is youtube.com/watch?v=Zip9l2… — Tom (@TomDonkin1) April 25, 2012 ‘dont boo vote’…its not as snappy as ‘Yes we can’ Mr #Obama but hope it works #USElection — Tom (@TomDonkin1) September 4, 2012 #Obama … Continue reading

Aaw Shucks!!!!….Didn’t See That Coming!

The BBC trumpets Obama’s Stimulus for growth: Global stock markets rise on US Fed stimulus plan Global stock markets have risen after the US Federal Reserve moved to kick-start recovery by pumping more money into the economy.   They missed this: SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Egan-Jones Ratings Co. said Friday it downgraded its U.S. sovereign rating to AA- from AA on concerns that the Fed’s new round of quantitative easing, … Continue reading

Class War Via The Classroom

Amused to hear a report on the UBS ‘rogue trader’ Kweku Adoboli  labelling him as the product of a private school background by the BBC today….is that relevant?  The BBC didn’t feel it was necessary to tell us of his immigrant background….all immigrants are ‘good’ for Britain of course. The BBC  has nothing but great praise for Private Schools, honest (odd really as so many of them went to such schools)…..so much so … Continue reading

The Mask Has Slipped

  For a long time the BBC has hidden the true face, the true nature of Islam from viewers and listeners.  The BBC has always tried to downplay the religious aspect of any actions taken by Muslims…bombings and other attacks have been carried out by ‘criminals’ and ‘madmen’ or men ‘perverting’ Islam…..Islam has not been the inspiration nor has it given divine sanction to the violence. The second part to … Continue reading

BBC’s Sacred Illusions…And Unfit For Purpose

George R in the comments brings this to our attention…..the well known fact of BBC cowardice in the face of threats of violence by Muslims…..if the BBC will not  criticises or satirise all religions in the same manner as it does Christianity,  then perhaps it should refrain from such an approach until it can also bring itself to do the same with Islam. You would think that the BBC would in … Continue reading

Ed, Ed and the Fed Can’t All be Wrong Says Flanders

Is Flanders taking a subtle swipe at George Osborne?  In this report about the US committing itself to more Quantitative Easing she entitles the piece ‘Your Flexible Fed’. Is that meant to subliminally suggest that Osborne’s approach in sticking with Plan A is ‘inflexible’ and wrong? She suggests that the Fed have decided to do what is necessary to get the economy moving: ‘In effect, the Fed’s policy committee is … Continue reading
