Evan Davis really gave Chuka Umunna a tough going-over on this morning’s Today programme, if by tough going-over one imagines being soothed with the soft gentle strokes of giant cotton wool balls for ten minutes. Davis’s line was basically, “You get on with it and I’ll chip in every now and again to concur with everything you’re saying and help clarify the message.” When they’d finished agreeing about executive pay, … Continue reading

For a “world-class” broadcaster that costs us BILLIONS, the BBC seem ever so slow when it comes to picking up stories concerning Diane Abbott; Ms Abbott has also provoked outrage from cabbies with another tweet. “Dubious of black people claiming they’ve never experienced racism,” she wrote from her iPhone on Tuesday. “Ever tried hailing a taxi I always wonder?” Steve McNamara, a spokesman for the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, said: “This … Continue reading
The BBC likes Professor Stephen Hawkings and he was on Today this morning. His profound atheism is a quality that they admire and his physics background provides a convenient distraction when he comes out with statements such as there is no God and that man made global warming warming may well bring about the end of mankind.

I also believe she should have been disciplined by Miliband and axed from This Week.

Biased BBC contributor Graeme Thompson writes; “Is this an impartial BBC journalist engaging Republican nomination candidate Rick Santorum, or a sneering, jeering Obama supporter trying to lob custard pies at him? The gentleman in question is Newsnight’s Peter Marshall, which, to anyone familiar with his ouvre, may feel the above question already answered. For the record, I do think Mr Santorum’s comments as reported are ‘off beam’, shall we say, … Continue reading
The BBC is always open to giving the pro-Euthanasia lobby as much publicity as possible and they do not disappoint today with this new report. (They love death like we love life.) As is the case in this report, it is simply advocacy for the pro-death brigade. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
