Question Time tonight comes from Derby. On the panel we have Conservative MP Louise Mensch, Energy and “climate change” Secretary Ed Davey MP, former postman and occasional home secretary Alan Johnson MP, Sunday Times and Independent columnist Dominic Lawson, and John Lydon, former lead singer of the Sex Pistols and founder of the band Public Image Ltd. This Week will follow, and we have the standard lineup of Andrew Neil … Continue reading
Never quite sure about the ‘Wake Up To Money’ crew on 5Live….are they real financial journalists or have a bunch of school kids clambered in through a studio window to bluff us with gems from Google and Wikipedia? Apart from a determined effort to ignore any Labour connections to Libor a discussion about the new ‘Shard’ building in London caught my attention. What really started me thinking was their comment that … Continue reading
Today had an expose of a national television network that broadcasts propaganda for the government…..Syrian not British. Ghatan Sleiba, an ex-correspondent from a government affiliated news channel, met with the BBC’s James Reynolds near Turkey’s border with Syria and provided some insights into how the government controls the media’s message. The final words made me smile…. ‘The people can’t trust us…..the Syrian nation is a simple nation…they believe who ever … Continue reading
I’m wondering if the British Army which the BBC seems ever so concerned about today is in any way related to the British Army which the BBC routinely likes to run down as bloodthirsty mercenaries at every possible opportunity? Each time our brave soldiers go into battle, the BBC has been there to demoralise them; to undermine the legitimacy of the operations; to offer propaganda for their enemy. But today, … Continue reading
Wonder did anyone out there catch the debate on Today this morning concerning the claim from the Kids Company that there are “at least one million” kids in Britain who are starving? Well, when I say debate, it wasn’t. Instead we had two people, one from Netmums (who else? Yawn) and another from Leon restaurants who came on to agree that the one million starving figure was, if anything, underplaying … Continue reading
In this article in GQ we are delivered of some fascinating facts about the Guardian: Firstly that Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger admits the BBC is VAST. Second that the Guardian, losing £1 million a week, is sacrificing its journalism to make cuts…savings…or is it investing for the future? Third that Labour’s Lord Myners…he of the Libor inquiry, was Chairman of the Guardian Media Group….and a tax avoider big style. (So … Continue reading
Going to hit you again with another Libor tale of woe….It all seems plenty complicated but I have been trying to make some sense of it….so here is my very basic take on it….and a quick summary …Labour is lying, and the BBC, at least in many areas are not doing the homework or are deliberately downplaying Labour’s role in this…with some exceptions. It is a curious thing but either … Continue reading
This was brought to my attention and I wanted to share it with you. It seems that although he is a genocidal thug who likes to murder his own people, the BBC has a SOFT SPOT for Syrian tyrant Bashar Assad. Surely not, I hear you say. I mean, what could he have said that might not sound too good that the BBC sees fit not to tell you? The … Continue reading
The Victoria Derbyshire show (45 mins) finally admitted that there maybe some suggestion that both the Bank of England and the Labour Party may have had some involvement in fixing the Libor. Well no I tell a lie…they raised the matter only to conclude as soon as they could that Labour were in no way involved…Jonty Bloom came on to dismiss all allegations and assure us that Diamond was merely trying … Continue reading
Yesterday the BBC reported on the recommendations in a report into child abuse of those in children’s homes by sex gangs. This is what the BBC reported: A working group will consider why some local authorities send children to homes outside their own borough whether such placements can meet children’s needs how well the quality of care is monitored whether areas such as Rochdale where there are high concentrations of … Continue reading
