Biased BBC’s Alan notes “As you know the BBC had  Mervyn King do a speech for them last night but seem rather shy about revealing some the contents so far… Mervyn King in a speech for the BBC Today programme states that because Labour’s economic policies and failure to control the banks we have lost 1 million jobs in the UK. The Telegraph has a report here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9242161/Labour-lost-a-million-jobs-says-Bank-chief.html The BBC … Continue reading →

Rowlatt is an unusual name, so it didn’t surprise me to learn that Bee is Justin’s other half. Bee is a BBC World Service producer, so should she really be participating in the Palestinian Festival of Literature (affectionately known as PalFest) as Hadar Sela recounts here? Not that anyone could object to a lovely cultural festival of booky wooks written by the Guardian’s favourite authors, poets, and literary geniuses. Or … Continue reading →

Tonight Question Time comes from Question Time from London for the second week in a row – presumably because the BBC chickened out of the promised Mayoral Special last week. On the panel: Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Iain Duncan Smith MP, Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Hatemen MP, former leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Walter “Ming” Campbell MP, leader of the PCS union and semi-detached nutter Mark … Continue reading →

Honest reporting alerted me to this Yolande Knell report. Anyone familiar with the UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk and Yolande Knell would not be not surprised to see that the shoogly peg upon which Ms. Knell hung her article was yet another of Falk’s condemnations of Israel. Falk has featured on this website more than once. Before the article was stealth edited  the BBC got his name wrong, such was its haste … Continue reading →

NAUGHTY LOUISE

Well then, hasn’t Louise Mensch gone and irritated the BBC? How very dare she suggest that the blessed Tom Watson has jumped the gun and compromised the very essence of the Parliamentary Committee system by insisting that Rupert Murdoch is “unfit to run a major news organisation”. Leaving aside the irony of a bunch of MP’S who have run little more than  a bath judging the incredibly commercially successful Murdoch, … Continue reading →

BBC Censorship: Occupiers Arrested In Plot To Blow Up Bridge Edition

UPDATE: The BBC just posted a news brief about it after all. But the association of the criminals with the Occupy Movement is censored. Instead, they quote a DoJ mouthpiece saying the plot had nothing to do with the anniversary of Osama Bin Laden’s death. LOL! We all know what this was going to celebrate, and the BBC won’t admit it. Today is May Day, a prominent day in Communist … Continue reading →

A reader rightly asks why is Anders Behring Breivik anything to do with the death of a Norwegian Swimming Champion?  It seems entirely irrelevant but there it is – 5 sentences into this sad story of the death of a young Norwegian swimmer. Could it be that the BBC wants to reinforce and remind us as regards its’ narrative of right-wing views being threatening and associated with this gunman? What do … Continue reading →

KHAT GOT YOUR TONGUE…?

Now this is a strange report on the BBC.  First the essential detail; “Seven people have been arrested on suspicion of funding overseas terrorism with money linked to smuggling of the stimulant khat. The Metropolitan Police said six men and a woman were arrested in London, Coventry and Cardiff in early morning raids by counter-terrorism officers.” That’s quite a number of alleged terrorist supporters. So, what angle does the BBC take? … Continue reading →

THAT MURDOCH JIHAD

It’s so blatant it is unbelievable, isn’t it? I’m talking, of course, about the BBC’s continued frenzied coverage of the News Corp “phone hacking” issue.  This gets massive lead story emphasis on the UK news page, and other stories are relegated to minor importance. From where I stand, the BBC is clearly conducting a witchhunt against Murdoch with the intention of maximising it’s already monopolistic position in UK media. It’s … Continue reading →
