Mark Mardell is a busy chap these days. One moment is his salivating at Rick Perry’s 53 seconds of forgetfulness during the latest GOP debate (It’s finished Perry, reckons Mardell, and Republicans simply must support Romney, this years Dem/BBC approved John McCain) the next he is grimly pointing out that the only person that can beat Obama in 2012 is..yes, Angela Merkel. I believe that is called the assumptive close. Gosh, … Continue reading
I wonder why some people get the idea that the BBC is pro-Palestinian and resolutely anti-Israel. Give this a listen. and weep. The bias is effortless. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
This is beginning to look like let’s get Richard Black, but he (and the BBC idiots who employ him) deserve it. There is a delicious irony in this story. Mr Black has come out all guns blaring in support of his old chums Greenpeace against a nasty nuclear energy company, EDF. Greenpeace, like Mr Black, want the UK energy supply industry to go back to the dark ages, so the … Continue reading
A couple of days ago he was getting his panties in a bunch about those evil Koch Brothers, today it’s the Anglo-Saxon world in general: To those who despair of the success of sceptical lobbying, the message is clear: learn one of the languages of Brazil, China or India.

One of the battalion of Beeboids covering the US these days, Jonny Dymond, has just done an extremely one-sided collection of sob stories for Today about the struggles of the middle class.

Well. it looks like Berlusconi is following Papandreou out through the exit door, as demanded by Merkozy. This morning, the BBC pondered the future for Italy. Naturally, they push the “tighter fiscal and political union” fantasy of Barroso and his pals. They are also fixated on the personality of Berlusconi.They might do better to listen to the markets, now factoring Italy’s 10yr bond rates at 7%. That’s immediate bail-out time, … Continue reading
I’m sure you will have been following the BBC coverage of the “Open Borders” issue. Now like everyone else, I expect that UK borders are securely guarded and I have grave doubts regarding Theresa May’s abilities anyway.
