So, after Kofi Annan’s abysmal failure in Syria the UN throws up (I use the term advisedly) UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, and the BBC gives him a very sympathetic hearing as he declares a pre-emptive pessimistic view of the task ahead of him, as he takes up his new post. But I was wondering if THIS Lakhdar Brahimi is in any way related to this guy? Lakhdar Brahimi was … Continue reading
Here’s MY thought for the Day. Why does Mona Siddiqui, professor of Islamic Studies, get SUCH a regular gig on the Today programme “Thought for the Day”? Answers on a Koran to the usual address…..
Given the shocking mess that Labour made of our Education system, one would think they are in no position to carp about efforts being made by this Coalition government to try and improve things. But of course that is not the case, Labour has no shame. The BBC has been pushing the Labour line on the news that more “Free Schools” are opening this morning and I heard one BBC … Continue reading
Just imagine. The Thatcher Government is in power, The Miners are striking and police open fire killing 34 of them. BBC would be in meltdown. In South Africa, with the blessed ANC in power, the Miners are striking and police open fire killing 34 of them. Then, in a surreal move, the ANC government charges the Miners with making the police kill them. BBC explains this is “an apartheid era” … Continue reading
It’s Friday, the last one was Monday, and we’re heading into a long weekend.
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
