Today ran an item this morning marking the 75th anniversary of the publication of Orwell’s “The Road to Wigan Pier” (8.22am). As you may gather from images used on these pages I am a fan of Orwell’s work but was surprised to hear one of the two gentlemen being interviewed claim that conditions in the working class parts of the north of England are NOW as bad as they were … Continue reading
As you know, Biased BBC has gone through some changes under my tenure. I’m not finished. With problems on comments, and some other issues re the blogger platform, I am considering making a move to a dedicated server and including the scope to have an effective commenting system. This may also involve a site redesign and general upgrade. IF we are to go down this road, to provide you with … Continue reading
Tonight Question Time comes from Guildford. David Dimbleby is joined on the panel by Sec of State for Local Govt Eric Pickles (presumably on a reinforced chair), Shadow Sec of State for Energy and “Climate Change” Caroline Flint, Daily Mail columnist and UKIPper Janice Atkinson-Small and Will Self. Oh, and well known political commentator and philosopher Will Young. Unbelievable. Although it’s good to have two elected frontbenchers on again. Not often … Continue reading
The Guardian/BBC symbiosis has produced a cuddly pledge from Hamas to the effect that they would not help Iran militarily in any conflict with Israel.The BBC’s Jon Donnison and Harriet Sherwood of the Graun have been speaking to Mahmoud Zahhar, a senior leader of Hamas. He has told them that Hamas are not, to coin a phrase, “ideologically wedded” to Iran.But according to FARS news agency and Haaretz, Mahmoud al-Zahar … Continue reading
Been away so just back home and time for one of these. As you may have seen from ASE’s post below, we have a technical problem on the comments thread. If there is anyone out there with a technical bent, please drop me a line as we figure out how to fix things. In the meantime…please detail bias here. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Due to unforeseen technical circumstances (it broke without anyone touching it, honestly!) the Google Friend Connect option has been temporarily taken off of the Echo comments login list. Well, actually that exact option is permanently off because Google seem to have retired it. Ooops. We are currently chasing Echo to see if there will be a Google alternative via them. We’re also looking at other ideas up to and including … Continue reading
Before I even get into this, I have to call attention to what appears to be the title for a series of reports: “Altered States”. This is bias right up front, as it’s a theme we keep hearing from the BBC and the Left-wing media in the US, that the US has somehow suddenly become more divided and vicious since 2008. I wonder why that is, BBC? Could it be … Continue reading
Whoops. B-BBC contributor Alan detects a rather fishy smell about a BBC claim leading their news today,,, “BBC are claiming that their hero Vince Cable’s letter was leaked to them: ‘Vince Cable has called for Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to be split up, in a letter leaked to the BBC.’ But according to this comment in the Telegraph the letter was published in full by the FT over 3 … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Alan notes… You’ll never hear Bruce Springsteen on the BBC again….. ‘Just a few minutes of listening to mainstream rock music such as Bruce Springsteen and the White Stripes is enough to make white students focus on the interests of other whites at the expense of back people and latinos.’ Wonder what happens when they listen to Rap? David Starkey has the answer to that one! Click through … Continue reading
So the hacking of Stratfor’s emails by Anonymous and published by WikiHacks has revealed that, contrary to what we were told, Osama Bin Laden’s body was not buried at sea but was in fact flown to a military facility in the US for examination. I remember well when the BBC reported what they were told by the US, and nobody questioned it. Of course, we were told, they needed to … Continue reading
