Tonight Question Time comes from Inverness. Everyone is welcome to come along but I want to make it clear I want best behaviour, no ad hominems. Or else. On the panel we have the most convoluted, adjusted and argued-over panel for many a year. On the panel, Deputy First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon MSP, former leader of the Liberal Democrats Charles Kennedy MP, Labour’s leader in Scotland Johann Lamont … Continue reading
May I commend this excellent post by Daphne Anson on the BBC’s “Horrible Histories”? Do give it a read… “Manipulative and mind-bending, the BBC nowadays rarely makes a series on British history that is without a political agenda informing the narrative. One series, a gripping and enjoyable one about the glories of Bronze Age Britain, depicted the Roman Invasion as a disaster for the already highly civilised and skilled native … Continue reading
Bless the BBC, They have finally found an “Iron Lady” that they like. No, not Thatcher, they hate her. But rather, Angela Merkel. The BBC’s Stephen Evans was eulogising her on Today @ 8.38 and the consensus is that her quest to control the EU is a good thing. Following that, as a nod in the direction of..cough… Euroscepticism, they trooped on ..David Owen. Yes, him. His big theme was… … Continue reading
Words fail me. Mardell has done a blog post about the Walker result, opining that, regardless of whether or not it actually means anything for the rest of the country, it’s still a psychological boost the the Republicans. Which it is, although Mardell wants you to think they’re wrong for feeling that way. He then plays the writer’s game of asking a question so he can give his opinion without … Continue reading
I was shocked to read this tweet by Jonny Dymond about a Wall Street Journal op-ed from June 1: A ringing reminder of the joy of Hayek in today’s #wsj. Always good to see freed defended. — Jonny Dymond (@JonnyDymond) June 1, 2012 The exception which proves the rule at last, and in the interests of fairness and credit where due I have to point it out. This doesn’t mean … Continue reading
Here’s another take on one of the most important stories in the UK today, if one believes BBC coverage! Biased BBC’s Alan notes; “Listening to ‘Today’ this morning raises two, at least, questions….first, just how much can a serious news organisation dumb down and secondly, just how high will that organisation jump when the Labour Party bosses tell them to? A prime example of why the BBC should have been in Leveson … Continue reading
I was delighted to see that Obama got a bloody nose in Wisconsin but it’s OK, BBC has it sorted. A B-BBC reader writes; “So a Republican Governor in a state which has voted for Democrat Presidential candidates in every election since Reagan took a greater share than either Obama or Hollande managed in their head-to-heads, beating his rival by close to 8%. Spot the difference in reporting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18336641 Some great excerpts here…. 1. The … Continue reading
Biased BBC’s Alan reveals a bit of a killer blow for Richard Black here….. Below is an article from ‘Nature’ science magazine that proves that the pro CO2 abolition groups are advancing a leftwing ideology and not science….it is cultural and political… and what’s even better is that….. Richard Black is caught out with his long held beliefs demolished, discredited and shot so full of holes that it wouldn’t hold … Continue reading
Here is the Wednesday Open Thread for you to help detail the bias from the State Broadcaster! The floor is yours….
I’m on the BBC this morning discussing the alleged story carried in The Guardian (where else?) about the firm Close Protection UK, which provided security services for the Jubilee celebrations, and which says it is going to investigate reports that it left unpaid workers stranded in London during the Jubilee celebrations. Obviously four days of non-stop celebration of Monarchy must have stuck in the caw of the BBC and it’s … Continue reading
