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 →

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 →

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 →

So the hacking of Stratfor’s emails by Anonymous and published by WikiHacks has revealed that, contrary to what we were told, Osama Bin Laden’s body was not buried at sea but was in fact flown to a military facility in the US for examination. I remember well when the BBC reported what they were told by the US, and nobody questioned it. Of course, we were told, they needed to … Continue reading →

The BBC has been replete with reports on the situation in the Syrian town of Homs. However a Biased BBC reader suggests that we are not quite getting the full picture from the State Broadcaster; “You will be aware of the BBC reporting on the Syrian government attacks on Homs and the killing of innocent civilians, however there seems to be no mention of the “freedom fighters” who are forcing … Continue reading →
