Was entertained by this and all on the same BBC web page today.. An additional £10m ($15m) will be provided by the UK for countries in West Africa facing the threat of drought, the government has announced. And… The Department for International Development (DfID) said action was needed before the rainy season made large areas of West Africa inaccessible for aid workers in as little as four weeks’ time. Hap … Continue reading
I’m sure those behind the IPPR think tank and UCU academics union Report which ludicrously suggests graduates bring in £180,000 more than those with A-levels over their working life will be pleased with the profile the BBC affords such speculative trade union driven nonsense. All hail the State.
Biased BBC contributor Alan observes “Not much choice on the radio today…either the resurrection of the KKK in Poland and the Ukraine or the appalling possibility of Tom Winsor heading the HMIC. The BBC manage to find the completely independent Police Federation to talk about Tom Winsor’s merits but I never heard any description of exactly what responsibities the HMIC actually has….and what effect it has on the work of … Continue reading
A reader brings my attention to this; So called comedy on Radio 4 at 6.30 tonight Simon day show http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jhjs3Character, working class Cockney, claims to have got his kids into a good school in london, with high Ofstead rating, thanks to the immigrants apparently, ‘the white kids are all idiots’ he says! Imagine if a ‘comedian’ said that about any other ethnic group? Really pees me off, the constant denigration of … Continue reading
Friday arrives and another busy week on Biased BBC comes to and end! Here’s a new OPEN THREAD to see us off into the weekend but more posts to follow during the next few days! Do keep detailing the bias as you see it!
Well, it’s pretty clear that the BBC is unhappy that Tom Winsor is the preferred new Chief Inspector of Constabulary for England and Wales. On Today this morning they provided two slots for critics to have a pop at Mr Winsor, one at 7.09 and another @ 8.16am. Lining up behind the Police Federation, the BBC will undoubtedly provide a pulpit for all those like Paul McKeever who put their self … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Alan asks..” David Owen says we should leave the EU if it finally decides to integrate politically and financially…..but did the high fliers of the BBC’s top political programme notice? The Today programme quizzed David Owen but failed to draw out the essential facts about his real views on European integration….although he did in fact say quietly about staying in the EU…‘personally I wouldn’t do that’……but Naughty completely … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader brings my attention to the latest BBC led Jihad against Christianity.. “If you should want to look into another example of anti-Christian bias at the BBC then look no further than the current 1:45pm slot on Radio 4. Honest Doubt, by former Bishop and agnostic/atheist Richard Holloway. If there’s a criticism of the Church or Christianity that can be made on a subject it will be.. … Continue reading
I wanted to draw your attention to this excellent post by Neil Winton on his blog Winton’s World on the topic of the BBC conjuring up of “right wing” extremists in the Ukraine. “Finally, a minor triumph over the BBC to report. Right-wing extremists in Ukraine are now routinely described as “extremists”. After watching the news earlier in the week, in which the BBC reported on its own “documentary” about … Continue reading
The BBC had quite a rattle at the alleged “exploitation” of the unemployed by the wicked employer CPUK at the River Pageant yesterday. This Guardian/Labour/BBC assault now looks a little shoddy when we read… “The company has also received messages from other volunteers. One said they were ‘treated with the utmost respect and highly praised for the work we had done’, while others said they were looking forward to working … Continue reading
