Christopher Booker has written a preview of his Global Warming Policy Foundation paper for the Daily Mail. I can’t see anything spectacularly new in it, however…all he outlines (and more) has been chronicled on this site and by others such as Bishop Hill and Tony Newbery at Harmless Sky. Meanwhile, Richard Black has been forced to file this morning the last resort of a reporter with nothing to report…he says … Continue reading
Actually, not so shocking. They were the “correct” sort of Christians. During a question and answer session at a conservative Christian college in Iowa on Monday Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum faced some opposition on social issues (health care and gay marriage) from a couple of Democrat students. BBC America’s Kate Dailey couldn’t contain her joy: It’s not too great a leap to conclude that Dailey doesn’t feel quite the … Continue reading

I see that the BBC has given Ken Clarke’s broadside to Cameron “not to seek to repatriate powers from the EU” great prominence this morning. They love Clarke, and Heseltine, and indeed all those other dripping wet C.I.N.O.’s who exist to perpetuate the gospel of the European Union uber alles.As the UK’s relationship with the EU is put under the microscope, the BBC seems determined to isolate the very notion … Continue reading
Have you been following the BBC’s coverage this morning of the the National Centre for Social Research’s 28th annual British Social Attitudes report? They appear outraged that… “Britons are less willing than ever to pay higher taxes to support the National Health Service, schools or the environment, a new survey suggests. The National Centre for Social Research’s 28th annual British Social Attitudes report also found increasing numbers blaming poverty on “laziness”. The BBC’s … Continue reading
Former BBC science reporter David Whitehouse explains with masterful precision here why BBC science journalism has turned into sychophantic political drivel. Basically, Mr Whitehouse says that the corporation should be challenging eveything it hears from scientists; instead it is recycling their words as if they were gospel. To me, the most telling blow is when he compares science reporting now to how political reporting used to be in the 1950s … Continue reading
I had to pick myself up off the floor just now. The BBC has actually reported a gaffe by The Obamessiah. It’s another geography error. He was in Kansas, but told the crowd it was great to be back in Texas. Complete with video. Of course, the BBC only reported it because He immediately corrected Himself. So it’s hardly even a mistake, right? Safe to report. Unlike when He said … Continue reading

Douglas Carswell also gets the hectoring treatment this morning when he has the temerity to suggest that the British people must get to have a say on future EU treaty arrangements. Contrast the interruptions that characterise the Carswell interview with the studied silence that accompanies the evasive waffle from the foaming at the mouth Europhile Simon Hughes. That said, Carswell does his best although if you notice, Hughes actually gets … Continue reading
Here’s a classic clip from BBC Today this morning with Evan Davies showing his OUTRAGE that someone might suggest that a LABOUR party appointed panel to review future UK policing needs may be somewhat unbalanced. Poor old Blair Gibbs of the “right leaning” Policy Exchange think tank is constantly interrupted, laughed at and contradicted because he has the temerity to suggest that Labour is biased in terms of how it … Continue reading
