An astute B-BBC reader asks; “Have you watched the 4 programme series called “Thats Britain”. The ‘Wall’ records the “hates” of people in the UK. It is noticeable that, for Progs 1,2,3 and 4, ‘wind turbines’ occupied the second most and most prominent central position of large letters on the ‘Wall’. Consequently, by the BBCs reasoning for the Wall , one must assume this is the biggest personal hate … Continue reading
A Biased BBC readers advises; On Tuesday’s 6o’clock news on R4 there was a report about a religious school in Pakistanwhich had been brutalising its young pupils. Orla Guerin solemnlyintoned a list of atrocities that had been uncovered at this ‘religious’school, but neglected to go into more detail as to the particular religioninvolved. “What could it be?” I wondered. It wasn’t until very nearthe end that a mention of “Jihad” … Continue reading

Electricity bills to rocket by 25% because of ‘green’ targets, says Government Low-carbon technology ‘will not mean big bill rises’ Spot the difference. The fatcat quango the Committee on Climate Change – a supposedly ‘independent'(ho ho ho) body set up to check the government’s climate change policies, but actually stuffed with alarmist zealots – has published a report that purports to dispassionately examine the impact of these fanatical policies on … Continue reading
Let us be clear. The BBC opposed the liberation of Iraq long before US troops went in and ever since it has done everything possible to undermine and de-legitimise the war. Aligned with the “International Community”, I am sure Saddam appreciated the efforts of the BBC to derail the necessary regime change and it’s just such a shame that he is no longer around, along with his evil sons Uday and … Continue reading
Great propaganda job here on the BBC this morning. First up, we had David Kennedy, chief executive of the Committee on Climate Change to explain why claims that the costs of green energy and other low carbon technologies will lead to sharp rises in fuel bills, are wrong. Then, we had a “debate” between Matthew Sinclair, Director of Tax Payers’ Alliance and George Monbiot, journalist and green campaigner, discuss whether … Continue reading
Most excellent post here on Autonomous Mind questioning the BBCs print wing – The Guardian. You won’t find this update, about the Guardian’s allegations about Milly Dowler’s voicemails being deleted by people working for the News of the World, on the BBC News website. The BBC, as the broadcast arm of the Guardian, has an editorial culture of omitting stories that paint the Guardian in a negative light and thus … Continue reading
Doesn’t BBC DG Mark Thompson sound a tad defensive? Mark Thompson, the BBC director-general, has suggested criticism of its faked wildlife programme scenes had been fuelled by newspapers’ bitterness over the corporation’s coverage of the phone hacking inquiry. Mr Thompson questioned whether condemnation of misleading footage of polar bears in its Frozen Planet show had been influenced by the BBC’s comprehensive reporting of the Leveson inquiry into press standards. “I do rather … Continue reading

Given BBC antipathy towards the current UK Government, one can almost understand it’s enthusiasm to move the debate on from yesterday’s better than forecast inflation figures and back onto the negative narrative so preferred. We got a double whammy of that this morning from the BBC. First was the “news” that government plans to reform the system of funding for elderly care could be delayed by 10 years to 2025. Andrew … Continue reading
