Another item from Biased BBC’s Alan… “Interesting that theBBC who won’t allow climate change sceptics a fair hearing give ananti-monarchy pressure group (run by a Labour MP) free airtime….and not thefirst Labour MP or minister to be given a free ride on ‘Today’.This is the BBC who won’t allow a secular ‘Thought for the Day’ but seems, ifthe cause is right, to waive the guidelines and allow what is essentially … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Alan writes; “Richard ‘Blackout’ Black strikes again…or rather doesn’t…..the Sunday Express reveals that environmental campaigners are being hired by energy companies to lobby on their behalf and to recruit a campaign network in places they want to build wind farms: ‘AN “ARMY of eco-warriors” is being hired by wind farm lobbyists to fight for onshore farms in one of the most beautiful parts of Britain, writes Kirsty … Continue reading

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
