As you know, for reasons out of our control, the comment threads are disrupted. I appreciate the irritation this brings, not least to me since it is annoying that I can’t see all your many excellent points. However patience is required over the next week until we permanently fix all this nonsense. In the interim, I will continue posting and trust that those who can comment will comment and that … Continue reading
Remember when the BBC told you that ObamaCare was going to give health care coverage to 32 million people and save us all? Well – surprise! – it turns out that lots of people will actually lose their employer-provided coverage, and costs will go up, not down, so many will not be able to afford getting it on their own and will have to go on taxpayer-funded Medicaid. Which, by … Continue reading
I happened to catch the BBC radio 4 news just after 5pm. The item being covered was the manhunt for the gunman who shot dead three young Jewish schoolchildren along with a teacher in Toulouse this morning. What stunned me was the angle the BBC journos were pursuing. Seemingly loose talk about “immigration” and “halal meat” may have been a factor here. Yes, it seems that if politicians dare to … Continue reading
Some may share my view that the role of “Children’s Commissioner” for England is just another excise for institutionalised banal interfering in Education by dripping wet liberals. If you read this item on the BBC however you will note the gravitas that the State Broadcaster affords the views of Children’s Commissioner Maggie Atkinson. As usual, she is fighting for some sort of undefined utopianism and is alarmed that disruptive students … Continue reading
Monday morning and time for you to update us on the latest instances of BBC bias! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The suggestion that Motorways and other major roads in England could be run by private companies under plans being considered by the government has caused outrage amongst the Statist mentality of the BBC hive. On Today this morning at 8.10, John Humphrys led the Jihad against the idea. Whether one agrees with the concept or otherwise (As it happen, I do agree with it!) the point is that Humphrys was … Continue reading

Over the last few days Nick Robinson and Mark Mardell have been speculating about likely topics of conversation between David Cameron and President Obama. They predict that having settled Afghanistan, the new buddies will turn their attention to Iran. Or rather Israel, because the question they will be tussling with is not “How to make sure Iran doesn’t acquire nuclear weapons” but “how to stop Israel taking unilateral military action”. … Continue reading
“Hundreds, if not thousands of people think the BBC is pro Israel. And an equal number think the opposite. How on earth do you adjudicate on matters as complicated as that?” asks BBC Newswatch’s Raymond Snoddy. BBC Trust’s Richard Ayres has been brought in specially to help tell us that on balance the BBC gets it about right. “It’s extremely difficult! It’s almost impossible for the BBC to do a … Continue reading
M D’A:“good evening. This is Mark D’Arcy at Westminster, where a peer who quit the Lib dems renews her attack on Israel.” J T:“I am not antisemitic. But I am anti-injustice.”M D’A:“Plus border tensions between parliament and the civil service as the Sir Humphreys insist they answer to ministers, not to MPs[…] but first tonight, former Liberal democrat peer Lady Tonge who quit the party whip in the Lords after … Continue reading
