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 problem is that … Continue reading
‘How strange must our system of politicks appear in future ages, when it appears, that while we were carrying on offensive wars in all quarters of the globe with vast fleets and armies, that an enemy rode triumphant in our own harbours.’ The BBC steadfastly refuses to engage in any meaningful debate about the dangers of importing an ideology that is totally at odds with that of the … Continue reading
Here’s Nicky Campbell talking about the Charlie Hebdo cartoons on BBC Radio Five Live’s Breakfast show this morning: “The BBC has an edict – I’m not allowed to describe these images at all.” (h/t Bodo in the comments) Update. The images the BBC won’t even describe. The individual cartoons can be seen here.

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
Mark Mardell reports that Mitt Romney’s comments about the Palestinians and the peace process are gaffes of a catastrophic scale. ‘A new secret video clip has emerged of remarks by Republican candidate Mitt Romney, saying the Palestinians are committed to Israel’s destruction. Mr Romney is shown saying that Palestinians are “committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel”. “The Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace,” he says, … Continue reading
Monday was the one year anniversary of the beginning of the Occupy Wall St. movement. It was on this day last year that the first activists camped out in Zuccotti Park in New York City, and the media love-fest began. No broadcast organization supported and lauded the Occupiers more than the BBC. So, while I actually expected a little more noise about it from them, the special video reports make … Continue reading
George R in the comments has come up with another good link which raises probably one of the most important questions this country, and many others like it, must answer….first of all of course the media and the politicians have to find some courage and ask that question. Here is the issue that begs the question as admitted by a Muslim, Alibhai Brown: ‘It’s more or less over for progressive, … Continue reading
