I don’t listen to ANY QUESTIONS very often, after all there is only so much BBC that the human spirit can take. However as fate would have it, I did catch this most recent programme. It was from Wirral, so perhaps that was a warning. On the panel were; Work and Pensions Minister, Maria Miller; Liberal Democrat President, Tim Farron; Shadow Secretary of State, Andy Burnham; and geneticist, Professor Steve … Continue reading
Children of the Revolution BBC2 was interesting.The three protagonists were young and camera friendly. Gigi, Ahmed and the Salafist were presented as young revolutionaries, striving for democracy, each in their own way.Was it another stuck-in-a-rut documentary that amounts to the creation of more ‘here today gone tomorrow’ celebrities and little else? Normally the viewer is required to project a fantasy of their own onto some vacuous telegenic character, but the … Continue reading
Ah, you just gotta love Obama. Well, if you work for the BBC you do. Get this; US President Barack Obama challenged Congress to keep the economic recovery going as new data showed unemployment down to its lowest rate in three years. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.3%, beating analyst forecasts, and was down from 8.5% in December. Great stuff and a sign that recovery is now well underway. Time to … Continue reading
Have you been following the BBC coverage of the resignation of Lib Dem Chris Huhne? It strikes me that now that Mr Huhne has gone to spend more time with his windmills, the BBC is rather gutted and if you read through this report it smacks of BBC sadness that one of their own has fallen from grace. Mind you, armed with the ‘simple sword of truth and the trusty shield … Continue reading
The genre ‘Rap’ (as in music) has a comical air, something to do with Ali G perhaps, and the more seriously it’s taken the more comical it becomes. This opinion is my own and does not represent that of the BBC.So the BBC’s decision to ban the words “Free” and “Palestine” from the lyrics of rapper Mic Righteous, or muffle them with the sound of breaking glass, would be hilarious, … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Alan writes; “We have long beentreated to the BBC’s eulogising of China and the delight and envy at itsdecisive decision making, unhindered by the need for public approval. JeremyPaxman only recently telling us ‘China is the great emerging force in theworld, and the sense of apprehension everywhere else must be good.’ But it now seems that long cherished dreams of the return of the Soviet Unionare being dusted … Continue reading
Biased BBC’s Alan asks;“Is it possible thatthe BBC and the Labour Party are working hand in glove to attack the Coalitiongovernment? Not just a chance meeting of minds and interests but a deliberately engineeredcampaign to bring down a government? Take the recent revelations by the BBC about Ed Lester’s payarrangements….why was he targeted? We know the BBC has an intense interest in student loans having followed andbroadcast the student protests religiously … Continue reading
Described on Twitter as “the most incestuous media love-in in history” and “an activists who’s who“, Paul Mason’s party to celebrate the launch of his new book “Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere: the New Global Revolutions” ended in chaos last night. SPLITTERSMason abandoned his own party and recommended that other factions do the same. An anarchic hardcore remained. Lefties, eh? Here’s a flavour of the evening from the Guardian’s James … Continue reading
Has the BBC been running with this story today? The BBC received millions of pounds from the European Union and local authorities over the past four years. The BBC admitted in a letter to a Tory MP that it has received nearly £3million in grant money from the European Union over the past four years. Other grants totalling £16million came from local authorities across the UK. The money was spent on “research … Continue reading
You really should read this post over on Elder of Zion. It concerns the BBC’s idea of what makes a hero. Or, as others might call it, a vicious savage who killed two Israeli teenagers. I suppose he had no choice? Utterly repugnant. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
