I admire Harry’s Place. It’s considered a left-wing blog, but their comments field is by no means an echo chamber. Political views expressed are predominantly leftist, but, because of their strong pro-Israel stance, they’ve been accused, in the pejorative manner with which such an accusation is generally uttered, of being “a right-wing, Islamophobic blog”. Someone who applauded Theresa May’s failure to send Raed Salah packing was provoked into making such … Continue reading
I’m cross posting this by my fellow writer Mike Cunningham over at A Tangled Web as it is spot on topic; “When I first read David’s other blog ‘Biased BBC’, which concentrates on exposing the ridiculous and harmful attitudes resident with the Beeb, I will admit that I thought I had perhaps spotted a flaw, but for the life of me, I just couldn’t place a finger and state ‘’That … Continue reading
Ok, Looks like we are back. My eternal thanks to ASE who has been doing everything possible to get the site functioning again. I’m declaring this a Friday Open Thread and praying that all remains stable.
Interesting to read that the BBC has spent more than £2 million ferrying and flying staff and guests between London, Manchester and Salford in two years, despite promising to employ more people locally. New figures show the public service broadcaster paid for more than 24,000 train journeys and at least 500 flights between the capital and the North West, where its new media centre is based. The train travel bill … Continue reading
Interesting comparison here by Biased BBC contributor Alan; “A family of Jews is slaughtered, literally, and in the most cold blooded way. The BBC did not report it and a search of there news site will turn up only three reports….and note one headline….suggests a just cause for killing the Fogel family…they were ‘West Bank Settlers’. On the other hand black teenager, Trayvon Martin, is shot in America and there … Continue reading
“The belief that security can be obtained by throwing a small state to the wolves is a fatal delusion.” Biased BBC contributor Alan notes that the BBC is adopting its usual casual ‘Israel is the Devil’ stance in their report on Gunther Grass and his poem. The BBC attitude adds immeasurably to the febrile anti-Israel/Semitic atmosphere that is being whipped up. The BBC continually says it does not have the time … Continue reading

Easter Monday and time for a new Open Thread! Enjoy.
…(with apologies to Poly Styrene) Did you read that BBC presenters and other senior figures in the public sector could be forced to publicly publish their tax returns under Government plans to increase transparency? Dozens of BBC stars and executives are thought to be paid via private companies which has sparked speculation over their tax affairs. Several BBC presenters are currently embroiled in an HM Revenue and Customs investigation My own … Continue reading
Did you read Tom Utley’s take on the Today programme a few days back? “Does anyone believe that the Beeb, which bewails every cut and lauds every increase in government spending, would have made such a fuss about any other three-day clampdown costing less than one ten-millionth of the NHS budget? And is it remotely conceivable that, on any other matter, it would have expressed such sympathy for the grotesquely … Continue reading
