Did you see this? The threat of industrial action by BBC journalists and technicians during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee weekend in June has been withdrawn. Unions had balloted for a strike over a “derisory” pay deal. But the NUJ, Bectu and Unite unions have now released a joint statement with the BBC saying they had agreed to “key principles” on pay, performance ratings and redeployment. I wonder why UNITE get such … Continue reading →

A Biased BBC reader asks for help. Any suggestions for him? “For years the BBC told us, on travel and business programmes especially, that the Euro was wonderful and that we were denied its advantages by an unholy alliance of retired colonels, Margo&Jerry and the BNP. If I wanted to put together a compilation video of clips from all these ghastly state broadcasts, how would I go about gathering the material?” … 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.

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.
