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
Dennis McShane has managed to evade having his collar felt by the boys in blue for claiming £125,000 for a garden shed…sorry, ‘office’, says Guido. Guido also says McShane employed his own brother, Edmund Matyjaszek as an interpreter. I have never looked at McShane’s background in detail before but reading that on Guido a lot became very clear….along with a quick look … Continue reading
Well, I see the BBC have appointed a new Director General, on about half the salary Thompson was on, but still more than twice what the Prime Minister earns! Lucky we don’t have a recession on….hang on a moment… George Entwistle, the BBC executive in charge of the coverage of the Queen’s diamond jubilee, has been named as director general of the corporation, beating competition from Ofcom chief Ed Richards … Continue reading
Middle of the week and time for a new Open Thread! What’s been REALLY bothering you about the BBC today?
It’s a real toughie for them, isn’t it? I mean the BBC seemed so delighted, ecstatic even, that Bob Diamond has gone but now..gulp… Labour have been dragged into the whole “Who fixed Libor” scandal. And with Brown and Balls in the frame, along with other luminaries such as Darling, damage control has to be exercised. Anyone catch Lord Myners on Today this morning being given a gentle canter around … Continue reading
