Wilful Blindness N° 3

Importing Poverty   In 2007 the Sunday Times had a story entitled ‘Despair of 3,000 Poles sleeping rough in UK’. It related how the homeless charity ‘The Passage’ had to stop its ‘open door’ policy and turn immigrants away because the numbers were unmanageable…‘the queue never got any shorter’ even after 18 months. (However like all Left wing organisations they don’t see the contradiction in their position…they close their doors when … Continue reading

Wilful Blindness N° 2

Labour was told about the likely failure of NHS PFI schemes even before they were signed up to and completely ignored the warnings…..something you might think would peek the BBC’s interest considering that the PFI agreements are now bringing the NHS to its knees in many hospitals. Apparently not. Good job we still have other sources of news to rely on:   Don’t sign, hospitals warned before PFI deal ‘An NHS … Continue reading

Wilful Blindness N° 1

Labour are demanding that bankers be prosecuted under criminal law for their actions…..unfortunately because of a failure to impose and implement sufficiently rigorous regulations on banks by Ed Balls when he was in charge of this sector the banks cannot be charged under criminal law….because the laws don’t exist, as admitted by one of Labour’s very own Lord’s…..and, as yet, completely ignored by the BBC. The BBC does ask: ‘Who was … Continue reading

A Systematically Dishonest Broadcast On Behalf Of The Labour Party

The BBC’s reporting of the latest bank scandal concerning Barclays, probably only the first bank in the firing line, misses out a major question and uses language that is immoderate and unusual for the BBC.   The BBC is freely using ‘lied’ or ‘liars’ in relation to how Barclays carried out its business. In truth of course this is an appropriate description but the normal practise is to infer they lied using more restrained … Continue reading

Manufacturing Both Consent And Dissent

An excellent spot by ‘Tommy Atkins’ in the comments:   Spotlight falls on Televisa, Mexico’s all-powerful TV station Critics accuse Televisa of manipulating politicians and viewers and threatening democracy. For decades Televisa‘s logo – a golden human eye gazing at the world through a television screen – captured the company’s success at controlling and dominating what Mexicans watched. The media firm, the biggest in Latin America, produced soap operas, quiz … Continue reading

Sacred Illusions

Here’s another Guardian story but again it illustrates the same prejudices that are hard wired into the psyches of the BBCers in their loathing of anything that smacks of ‘Right Wing’ populism….ie anything that the general public might believe or enjoy. I have included much more of the material than is stricly necessary because it is of interest regardless of BBC bias concerns….read on…..   Unmitigated lefty loathing of the … Continue reading

Where There’s A Will

Whilst Eddie Mair on R4 attacks Bankers as ‘greedy, unscrupulous liars’  nowhere to be seen is an expose of Labour’s underhand and corrupt methods where it funds ‘charities’ that then go out and promote a Labour agenda…..if a ‘mere’ blog like Guido Fawkes can dig up these stories the question is why can’t the all powerful and well resourced BBC? Perhaps the will is missing.

Hey Dwayne What Are You Rebelling Against? Whadda You Got?

The BBC has indulged its anti-Establishment leanings and satisfied its simmering desire to hack away at the Police Force in a polemical onslaught based on, well not very much really. They drag up a few examples of bad practise but how many good ones?  None.  Hardly what you might call balanced or anywhere near the truth.    It is what you might call a dangerous lie being peddled by the … Continue reading

Chinese Puzzle

The spectacled theorist would have given his life for his doctrine rather than for his people. The abstract principles that the law of democracy and ‘liberty’ are more sacred than the welfare of the nation under which principles these intelligentsia will defend the worst kind of tyranny, though it may be leading a people to ruin, because it is fleeting embodiment of the ‘authority of the state’ and another will … Continue reading

Orwell And The Modern BBC

  The Principles of BBC NewsSpeak       ‘What is important is not what the creator of an idea of genius may mean, but what this idea becomes in the mouth of whomever transmits it.’ Adolf Hitler       The principles are whatever the BBC says they are.   BBC NewsSpeak is the official language of the Liberal Elite and has been devised to meet the ideological needs … Continue reading
