Richard Black is getting pretty desperate. The reality is that nothing but hot air is emerging from the Durban climate boondoggle – showing maybe (though I am not so sure as Richard North) that the alarmist propaganda camapign is a busted flush – so overnight, he’s posted a crassly-manufactured story in an effort to give fresh momentum to his scare campaign. He tells us with wearisome predictability that “the science” … Continue reading
Anyone catch “CountryFile” this evening. John Craven was doing his best to demonise the Fracking process for making the most of Shale Gas. It says something of the note struck that when that swivel eyed eco-loon Chris Huhne is interviewed he comes across as a bit of a hardliner on the topic! Craven talked of flames coming out of taps, of earthquakes, all that was missing was the 4th horseman … Continue reading
I caught Nick Clegg on the BBC this morning as he was given a free canter on how to further demoralise the UK’s wealth-creating sector. Using the much loved “excessive boardroom pay” meme, Clegg was allowed to claim – outrageously – that “the public sector can’t do ALL the heavy lifting” when it comes to re-balancing our economy. (WHAT?) No dissenting opinion came back so we can be sure the … Continue reading
B-BBC contributor Alan notes; “For a long time it has been apparent that John Pienaar allows his delivery to be coloured by viewing the world through rose tinted glasses….a Labour Rose that is. Tory plans and policies are rubbished whilst Labour’s are ‘actually quite good’…..despite appearances! I haven’t seen much criticism of Pienaar and began to think perhaps it was my imagination, until I read Peter Oborne’s book, The Triumph … Continue reading
Biased BBC Martin from a land down under points on BBC’s double standard; “When deadly rocks are hurled by Arabs in Israel against Jews it’s called “resistance” but if it occurs in the UK then it’s “murder”: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-16018789“ Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Hi folks! Been away for the past few days so trust this finds you all well. Quite a bit to catch up on and I think I will start with this one because it nicely articulates my own views having read the same BBC report; From the Commentator; “All right. I’m not going to make this difficult. The families giving the orders, as well as the victims, are in all, or … Continue reading

Before 12:59, when it was updated, the top story on the BBC’s Middle East page was: “US urges Israel to end ‘isolation in Middle East’ “ Apparently US defence secretary Leon Panetta made another speech about Israel’s isolation.“Just get to the damn table” he urges Israel in his vernacularly vocal style.Just the other day, in October to be precise, he said more or less the same thing: “The most important … Continue reading
A few months before the historic 2008 election, Senator Obamessiah declared His dream of transforming the US into a green energy economy. He promised to use His power to foster the development of green energy companies, reduce our dependency on foreign oil, and create five million green jobs. We all know how well that’s turned out, don’t we? He poured $4.7 billion down the Green toilet, creating precious few jobs, … Continue reading
Question Time tonight comes from Dagenham. On the panel Ken Clarke, Chuka Umunna, someone from Dragon’s Den called Deborah Meaden, Canadian-American journalist David Frum and union boss Mary Bousted. So David Frum is the token right-winger. Nobody would ever accuse Ken Clarke of filling that chair, could they? It’s a 10:30pm kick off. You know where to be. And how much alcohol to bring. <p>&amp;lt;a href=”http://www.coveritlive.com/mobile.php/option=com_mobile/task=viewaltcast/altcast_code=f9a28087d2″ &amp;gt;Question Time 1st December 2011&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;</p> … Continue reading
