The upbeat BBC is coming in for a storm of criticism today over its coverage of the Olympics which has centred on the G4S farce and according to listeners and viewers has been entirely too negative and is leaching the joy out of the Olympics, spoiling the expectations of many. The complaints have been building over several days but switching on to different programmes I have heard the presenters all … Continue reading
The rain in Spain may stay mainly on the plain but here in Britain it means we don’t have a BBQ summer and inflation drops as people don’t buy a new summer wardrobe….as the BBC’s Stephanie Flanders informs us…. Wet weather helps Bank’s inflation forecast The Bank of England’s inflation forecast is looking better than it has for a long time – it may partly have the weather to thank. … Continue reading
Cultural cringe at work…. BBC shows no sign of shock, horror or outrage when a black man suggests that it is necessary to have ‘ethnic loyalty’. Sounds not too dissimilar to something the BNP might print on a leaflet. ‘Somebody called Ashley Cole a “choc ice” on Twitter over the weekend after the footballer testified in defence of John Terry. Ekow Eshun, a former director of the ICA who now … Continue reading
I see the BBC was covering the issue of a German Court banning circumcision on Today this morning. It seems Angela Merkel is unhappy with this decision and the entire item was slated in terms of how Jewish people feel about it and the relationship between the German State and Jews. Towards the end of the item, the BBC added that Muslims were also opposed to the idea and were … Continue reading
The Today programme can always be relied on to enrage those of us who demand impartial reporting. A Biased BBC reader was listening on Monday 16th July and what he heard provoked this response; “Firstly there was a piece from a WPC who has conducted a survey into allegedly low morale of women police officers for the ‘Independent Police Commission’. Then an interview with the Commission’s Chairman, Lord Stephens. Not … Continue reading
Here’s YET another report of an alleged instance of child grooming by “men”; “Ten men have been arrested by police on suspicion of committing serious sexual offences following raids across the Bradford district. The arrests were made as part of an ongoing investigation by West Yorkshire Police, which is believed to be linked to sexual grooming. The men, who were arrested when police swooped on Wednesday, have been released on … Continue reading
You could not have turned on the BBC yesterday morning without hearing Elton John pushing his new book on Aids. I like Elton John, I enjoy his music and he has led an interesting life. However the BBC fawned over his every word on one of their favourite themes – the homosexual lifestyle. No challenges were issued. Instead we heard Elton talk about his wish to become a father again. … Continue reading
Well, the BBC has some interesting coverage of SNP plans to legislate for “gay marriage” in Scotland. I was entertained by the way the BBC breathlessly informs us about the “rainbow” coalition that supports Salmond and co on this one. Yes, those folks at Amnesty, The Pagan Society, the Unison – ALL support the idea that gay people should have “the right” to a religious based marriage ceremony. It tells … Continue reading
The BBC has a wonderful device that gives it carte blanche to rewrite history or at the very least to put a preferred spin to it. Programmes or projects like the ‘New Elizabethans’ for instance…’To mark the Diamond Jubilee, James Naughtie will be presenting 60 profiles of men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and given … Continue reading
Heads Buried in The Sand like Ostriches…or is it Emus?…Can never remember which….the BBC always refuses to bring itself into the discussion when talking about ‘The Media’. It produced a programme on the media’s influence on politics last year….but didn’t mention itself once. The BBC considers itself a ‘Torch Bearer for Truth’ and I suppose that as such it believes it can do no wrong and so actually defies engagement on … Continue reading
