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
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
