The BBC has one dominant running narrative since Cameron rightly vetoed the latest Merkozy plot. It’s all about the UK being “isolated”. It’s news bulletins have been loaded with this theme and even this Sunday morning, Nick Clegg is on the Marr show, chiming that isolation is bad news and being fed question after question which lays to the Europhilia of the Lib-Dems. We have even witnessed Michael Heseltine being … Continue reading
Richard Black is very happy this morning. The thousands of fatcat eco freaks at the Durban boondoggle have reached an “agreement” that will lead to £100bn being transferred from the urban poor in the developed world to the kleptocrats who run Africa’s developing economies. And he crows that this lunacy is now enforced by law. His reporting throughout the fortnight he has been in Durban has been a one-sided trumpeting … Continue reading
Over at the DT, James Delingpole brings these words of Sir Anthony Jay to our attention; No, what really needs changing is the size of the BBC. All we need from it is one television channel and one speech radio station – Radio 4, in effect. All its other mass of activities – publishing, websites, orchestras, digital channels, music and local radio stations – could be disposed of without any … Continue reading
Wanting to share this link to Conservative Home and their take on the BBC’s outrageous ongoing coverage of Cameron’s defence of the UK national interest. All that has been missing is black armbands and solemn music. Some interesting comments in the ConHome thread. Hope the guys over on ConHome might recognise our ongoing exposure of the BBC. Just watching Simon Hughes on the BBC telling us that there will be … Continue reading
You have to admire the pro-EU spin that Richard Black – the BBC’s resident eco-alarmist – served up here. Nations seeking a strong climate change deal at the UN talks received a rebuff as draft texts proposed future emission cuts kicking in after 2020. The EU and many countries vulnerable to climate impacts say that is too late to prevent major consequences, and cuts should start well before. They also want to ensure … Continue reading
Friday draws to a close, the weekend beckons, and so a NEW Open Thread for you. It’s endorsed by the IMF and Merkozy, so what more need I add….go for it… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Yesterday’s edition of the Today programme managed the impressive feat of reporting the jailing of Rod Blagojevich without mentioning that he’s a Democrat. This morning’s edition reported on MF Global boss Jon Corzine’s appearance before a congressional committee and, while pointing out that he’s a former senator, once again there was no reference to the fact that he too is a Democrat. And what of Corzine’s role as a major … Continue reading
Well then, wonder what you make of the BBC’s coverage of the Euro-talks and David Cameron’s decision to veto the proposed Treaty. Nick Robinson seems to think we are now at war with Merkozy and her Gaulieters and that Britain is “isolated”. Good, I am glad we are as isolated as possible from the folly in Brussels. But the BBC is painting this as if it was the end of … Continue reading
Although the focus of this blog is BBC bias, I wanted to take a moment or two to review a book by a reader and supporter of the site. His name is DC Alden and his new book is called “The Horse at the Gates”. I have to say that I found the book to be a cracking read. The plot is simple but devastating. A nuclear blast detonated … Continue reading
As Durban fizzles out – much to Richard Black’s chagrin– and the wheels spectacularly fall off the renewables frenzy, Christopher Booker has summed up brilliantly the saga of how the corporation has abandoned its impartiality. There’s no hiding place from his searchlight; what has happened has been a deliberate, sustained climate alarmist campaign sanctioned from the highest levels and pursued with a vigour that would have impressed even Goebbels and … Continue reading
