Do have a read of these two reports of the brutal murder of a 25 year old football fan in London at the weekend. There is this one, the there is this one. Can you spot the difference? Something seems MISSING from the BBC report, can you guess what it was?Sshhhh…I think the BBC think they got away with it. Hat-tip to the eagle eyed B-BBC reader who pointed this … Continue reading
Sometimes Mark Mardell just can’t help but express his opinion on world affairs. This time he’s expressing his disdain for the way US troops will continue to engage in military action in Afghanistan even though a decision has been made by the President to hand full military control over to the Afghan Government in 2014. The fact that he simply doesn’t understand what this means shows just how naive and … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Alan writes… “Pro Europeans fighting back…..Ball’s answer to massive debt is more debt, the BBC answer to Euro implosion is more Europe. Enoch Powell has for the BBC been a scurrilous, dangerous race baiter whose views on immigration were an outrage to a civilised nation…his warning that mass immigration could result in a rise in race attacks and xenophobia and conflict between communities were evidence of almost … Continue reading
It’s Monday and a new week and so time for the BBC to try and open up a new schism in the Coalition if at all possible! This time, it’s Saint Vince Cable who calls sacking plans in Beecroft report ‘the wrong approach.’ That’s the headline the BBC chose. But then if you read the article you find Cable also says when asked whether there was a difference of view between … Continue reading
The only sort of hunting the BBC seems to delight in is that of Conservative MP Jeremy Hunt. I see they are now flogging this story as if it were the single most important issue in the UK. The origin of this latest nonsense lies – if you notice – in the complaint of a single Labour MP. That’s good enough for the BBC to instantly escalate this to MAJOR … Continue reading
This is interesting. Terry Smith on his blog Straight Talking has engaged with someone posting a comment on how the BBC in the interests of “balance” is not helping provide a serious forum to discuss the issue of austerity and cuts. Give it a read! “Where does Ann Pettifor come from? The information I can find online suggest she has never held a job in the real world by which I … Continue reading
Morning world. A new week dawns and time for the Monday Open Thread. So, has the BBC been bothering you? If so, let’s be hearing from you….now!
Roger Harrabin is quite the card. Here he is on the BBC this morning warning that “Environmentalists” now fear that the UK government’s draft energy bill to be published on Tuesday will end in a new “dash for gas”. They want the bill to be guided by the government’s stated wish to almost completely de-carbonise the electricity industry by the 2030s. But there has been no guarantee such a target will … Continue reading
You have to almost admire the brass neck of the BBC. This morning, we were treated to the thoughts of Ed Balls, interviewed by Sarak Montague. on Today @ 7.34am. He was allowed to spout his usual playbook mantra which reduces down to attacking Cameron over and over again for a “lack of leadership” and now condemning Germany for it daring to insist that Greece honours its debts. Just ten … Continue reading
It’s time for another one. This one lasts 16:15. I try to keep them down to 15 minutes, but I don’t have the benefit of all those BBC editors and producers. As always, it’s meant to be a rebuttal to BBC coverage.
