Here’s Conservative MP Graham Stuart responding to a cheap shot from Nicky Campbell on Radio Five Live’s Breakfast show this morning. GRAHAM STUART/NICKY CAMPBELL (mp3) Nicky Campbell: For the first time MPs on the Education Select Committee want you to provide the questions when they go head-to head with Michael Gove next Tuesday. They’re asking for suggestions via Twitter. LOL. And it’s going to be with the hashtag “AskGove”. The … Continue reading
With BBC news coverage of the US Presidential race hotting up, it is quite useful to consider what B-BBC’s Alan has to say here;“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity” Martin Luther King, Jr., registered Republican….or to put another way to describe the BBC’s news output….’Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue.’ I have just been reminded that … Continue reading
Yes, well, the minute GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich suggested that there could be a manned lunar base which would be American, then this was going to go disputed by the BBC. I laughed at the blatant way in which the BBC sets up Gingrich in this item Of course when John F Kennedy made pretty much the same sort of speech in 1962, that is hailed by the likes … Continue reading

A Biased BBC reader contacted me with regard to what he sees is the BBC’s biased attitude to the dog owning community. The BBC’s programme, Death Row Dogs, 24th January has raised several hackles, including complaints from Dr Roger Mugford, an eminent expert on canine behaviour who says: “The BBC should not have screened this programme because it did not inform, entertain or meet any of the other accepted objectives for … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Alan notes;“Had the former Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, said Banker’s behaviour was the greatest moral scandal of our time I’m certain the BBC would have trumpeted it like some avenging Herald….but he didn’t say that which is why his words have been sunk in obscurity with no fanfare what so ever by the BBC. Although his comments were in the Daily Mail yesterday morning there has been … Continue reading
The BBC narrative is clear. Bankers were solely responsible for the global financial crisis. Go a little deeper and the narrative refines itself even more alarmingly; Capitalism was solely responsible for the global financial crisis. If only the State could control things. Next, seize on every opportunity to nail this in the public psyche. Take this current onslaught against RBS Chairman Stephen Hester. His crime has been to abide by his … Continue reading

Anyone catch Bill Gates on the BBC this morning? Quite an interesting interview here. I note that he was asked to choose “between Mitt Romney and Obama” – not that the BBC have an agenda in play when it comes to who will contest the White House, perish the thought! He was also used to help convey the idea that British Overseas Aid is unreservedly “a good thing” and that capitalism … Continue reading
