THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER

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 →

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 →

The BBC Sides With Illegal Immigrants While Pretending Otherwise

By David Preiser (USA) | March 7, 2012 - 2:46 pm |October 28, 2012 BBC - sickeningly biased at all times., BBC bias, BBC institutional bias, pro illegal immigration, USA politics

12 Comments

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 →
