Peter Hitchens was invited to be a talking head on Flanders’ ‘Masters of Money’ programme on Marx. Here is his take on it: He tells us his opinion of Marx….‘Marx turns out not to have been the prophet of Lenin and Stalin, who hated God, wanted absolute power and needed a pretext for seizing it, but to have been the prophet of the Canton sweatshop, the computer age and the … Continue reading
Excellent piece over on The Commentator concerning how the BBC continues to use images to de-legitimise Israel.
So, did the BBC cover up sex crimes allegedly carried out by Sir Jimmy Savile? 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.

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
