TAX ATTACK TAXING

The UKuncut movement must feel satisfied at the publicity afforded it by the BBC this morning. Tim Street gets a four  minute canter here, followed up by an extensive interview with Margaret Hodge here! Oh, those evil corporations. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

QUOTIENT OF HORROR…

I would not normally post on the same topic two days running, so forgive me. But right on cue after my post yesterday about Richard Black exaggerating the impact of nitrogen dioxide, his colleague Mike Amos has obligingly followed up with a supine piece about the dangerous effects of ‘n species’ (greenie for nitrogen compounds). It seems to me that these pesky n****s could be the BBC greenies’ latest line … Continue reading

PARTNERS IN CRIME?

Richard Black is the man most obviously at the delivery end of the BBC’s deeply biased approach to greenie reporting, as readers of this blog well know. This post unusually requires going back in time because I have only just got access to the transcripts, they take time to prepare. It’s worth re-visiting because they show the extent to which Mr Black works with others at the BBC to pursue … Continue reading

THAT SAME OLD KINDA FEELING…

A Biased BBC reader notes; “Here’s religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott this morning in sunny Jamaica: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9663000/9663844.stm But wait: the patois bible isn’t news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8698000/8698533.stm And much the same story from Pigott in 2008: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7675000/7675544.stm How many times does this need reporting, and what is the repetition from Jamaica costing us?

Manning the barriers

Biased BBC contributor Alan observes; “Mark Mardell joins the chorus of BBC voices vouching for the integrity of Bradley Manning, accused of leaking (should that be stealing ?) massive amounts of US intelligence material. It seemed yesterday on the Today programme that as with the UK ‘residents’ who were enjoying a stay at a Cuban detention centre the BBC were determined to get British political figures involved in the defence … Continue reading

ON THE BUSES

I will be interviewed on BBC5 Live tonight at around 10.05pm concerning this story. London bus drivers were today accused of holding passengers to ransom as they threatened to strike during next summer’s Olympic Games unless they get a £500 bonus. The 28,000 staff claim they need the money just for turning up to work – because their buses will be so busy. But Boris Johnson today accused transport workers of … Continue reading

Journalistic Double Standards at the BBC Due to Ideology

As everyone here knows by now – but people who rely on the BBC for their information will not – the US Justice Department has collaborated with the Norfolk Constabulary and Metropolitan Police to seize computers and a router from UK citizen Roger Tattersall, who runs the truth-seeking blog Tallbloke’s Talkshop, under the moniker, “Tallbloke”. Tattersall is one of a handful of climate truth-seekers* who had a link to the … Continue reading
