Here’s Clint Eastwood’s performance at the RNC, soon to be considered a classic. A bit wobbly, but still pretty funny. Will it change anything? I doubt it. I can’t see any worshipers switching sides because of this. But it does give a morale boost, and every little helps. I generally hate celebrities using their fame to push political ideology, and I’d feel that way about this appearance except that Eastwood … Continue reading
There comes a time in every successful criminal’s ‘career’ when, after evading Plod with ease for a long time, they become complacent, arrogant, cocky….careless…of course not being caught means they stay in the shadows…they get no recogniton, fame or infamy. For some this ‘fame’ is undoubtedly a draw, a factor in the game….so much so that they start to tease the police, tempting them to catch them…almost wishing to be … Continue reading
Did you see that Labour’s Diane Abbott should not have made so many appearances on This Week since becoming a shadow minister, according to a ruling by the BBC Trust’s standards committee? BBC tried to skirt around it by pretending This Week not political!!
Now we’ve had a comedy programme showing us the softer side of Muslims perhaps the BBC will do the same for climate change sceptics who get a rough Press. Perhaps they could just show this. Black & Co have a history of trying to discredit climate change sceptics…claiming they are in the pay of big business or influenced by rightwing news papers, that they are nazis, or were abused in their … Continue reading
BBC have disinterred Alf Garnett and made him Muslim for a laugh…’rubbing the Right’s nose in diversity’ no doubt! Citizen Khan: ‘The first in this new family-based sitcom set in the capital of British Pakistan – Sparkhill, Birmingham.’ Citizen Khan seems to have stirred up a few things…possibly not how the BBC intended….‘Viewers say the programme ‘takes the mickey out of Islam’ and is guilty of ‘stereotypes about Asians’ … Continue reading
Look that the garbage Katty Kay is reduced to (re)tweeting, because she apparently has nothing of substance to say about the Republican National Convention last night: .RNC Attendee Allegedly Threw Nuts At Black CNN Camerawoman, Said ‘This Is How We Feed Animals’ 2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/08/cnn-re… via @tpm — Katty Kay (@KattyKayBBC) August 29, 2012 “Allegedly”. It’s from the far-Left (naturally, as Katty retweets little else) Talking Points Memo. It’s just a … Continue reading
The BBC has made it their mission in life to seek out corporate corruption, greed and vested interests lining their pockets at tax payer’s expense….Coca Cola, McDonalds, G4S all being recent targets of the BBC’s anti-capitalist outrage, never mind bankers and oil companies. Richard Black was very eager to ‘expose’ the Heartland Institute’s finances when he thought they were dodgy, or he could represent them as such. Black went to … Continue reading
Remember that 11 year old boy who managed to evade security and check-in at Manchester and board an aircraft…remember how ‘shocked’ the BBC et al were? Funny how completely unshocked they are when illegal immigrants from very dodgy parts of the world slip in here and make themselves at home.
It seems from David’s post that Mardell is having a bad day…or I suppose a normal one for him. Talking about the Republican Convention Mardell of course uses it as an excuse to talk about Thatcher…sorry force of habit…Thatcher always gets the blame…no, Bush of course, and Hurricane Katrina. Apparently it was the Republican’s ‘callous incompetence’ that Mardell wanted to highlight. Funny…I thought it was Mayor Nagin’s total incompetence that … Continue reading
