Well, the BBC have finally found one member of the Murdoch dynasty that they like and guess why? Yes, Elisabeth Murdoch has come out in support of the BBC licence fee in a speech to TV executives in Edinburgh. Giving the annual MacTaggart lecture, the daughter of News Corporation founder Rupert also praised the BBC for its creative leadership. Her brother James delivered the lecture in 2009, and notoriously described … Continue reading →

Was listening to the BBC this morning as they breathlessly intoned the latest news about “right wing” mass killer Anders Breivik.  They know what they are doing when they wilfully attach that term to such a lunatic. Can’t wait for them to talk about left wing killers. They have no shame at all. I’ve been waiting to see if the site is stable before posting again but all looks well. … Continue reading →

The BBC have been caught red handed flying the flag for the Reds. This is an update of this. The BBC passed off a Socialist Party member, Matt Whale, as an ‘ordinary’ member of the public, albeit unemployed. In fact he has appeared on 5Live before and as an activist for the Socialist Party. (Thanks to Beeboidal) The 5Live show’s producer, editor and researcher would have known of Whale’s provenance and … Continue reading →

The BBC are never keen to associate anything with Islam, especially if it has negative connotations. You may well be a Muslim embarking on a Holy war and declaring such in a video…but the BBC will edit out your declaration of Jihad and claim you’re just a criminal madman. That tends to change when associating Islam with something that will foster a better perception of Muslims. We recently had reports of … Continue reading →

If today you have been following, as best you can, the reports and analysis tumbling headlong out of the media about the furore over GCSE results you are possibly  none the wiser. Do we know if marking is more rigorous, or ‘brutal’ as Evan Davis put it, do we know if exams themselves have been made more difficult, do we know if the pass mark boundaries have been moved? I’m in … Continue reading →

‘Policy Exchange’ were constantly referred to as a right leaning think tank, or even as a think tank ‘close to David Cameron’ this week by the BBC. The IPPR today, at least on the radio, have had no such label attached to them…that of being Labour’s pet think tank…wonder why when you look at their new thoughts on petrol pricing: From Guido: ‘Labour wonk-shop IPPR have declared war on the … Continue reading →

Stephanie Flander’s must have got hold of Gordon Brown’s crystal ball now that he has no use for it for predicting our economic future…’no more boom and bust’. Here she is in 2011 telling us to relax, it’s all good, the future is rosy, unless you’re Greek: ‘Everyone says that heightened talk of a Greek default is proof that last year’s bail-out has “failed”. But you could make a strong case … Continue reading →

The BBC were blasted by Tory Ian Duncan Smith for their insistence that falling unemployment figures  were bad for the economy in some mysterious way….now the Empire is striking back. The release of the latest borrowing figures ironically (considering they have been calling for more borrowing) led to the BBC having the opportunity to launch a counter attack on the Tories. They also constantly slip in Flander’s question demanding to know why employment … Continue reading →

OK folks, I may be tempting providence but looks like we are back in business. As ever, my first thanks go to ASE for his HOURS of work fixing this. None of you will fully understand the late hours (all unpaid) that has gone in to resurrecting the site. I believe there were corrupted data bases and the like involved – hence the total down time! Anyhoo – we are … Continue reading →
