I’m sure you will have been following the BBC coverage of the “Open Borders” issue. Now like everyone else, I expect that UK borders are securely guarded and I have grave doubts regarding Theresa May’s abilities anyway. HOWEVER, the BBC is clearly pursuing a conquer and divide approach to this story, as is all too evident in this coverage; The suspended UK Border Force chief Brodie Clark has been treated … Continue reading
The open mic blunder has been reported variously as: “I cannot stand him. He’s a liar,” Sarkozy told Obama. The US president responded by saying: “You’re fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day.” (Guardian)****“I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar,” Sarkozy told Obama (Haaretz)****“I can’t stand him any more, he’s a liar,” Mr Sarkozy said in French.“You may be sick of him, but me, I … Continue reading
Excellent dissection of BBC bias against Israel here. Writing for the BBC, freelance travel writer Matthew Teller veered sharply off-course in his article, “Jerusalem Tram Offers View of Other Side of Tracks” about Jerusalem’s light railway. The author demonstrates his shocking ignorance about the history of Jerusalem, about international law, and about present-day Jerusalem with passages that alternately suggest that Israel seized, settled and segregated Jerusalem. Give it a read, it … Continue reading
Wondering if any of you have had the chance to look at the report from St. Pauls Institute that has come out today? I am on BBC 5 Live later this evening on the Tony Livesey show. Any feedback is appreciated. The bit of the report that entertained me was that some 41% of those interviewed believed on God. So, more than in the COE! Comments/points?

A Biased-BBC reader notes with regard to the BBC’ s “Any Answers” broadcast on Saturday 5th Nov; “Did anyone notice that the first subject: the Unions strike for Nov 30. All the callers, around six, were on the side of the unions There were none against, even though the majority of the population feel that civil servants are being much better treated that those of the private sector. Did the … Continue reading
Last week Washington saw the opening of Hemingway’s, an exclusive bar situated in the section of the Swiss embassy reserved for Cuba’s communist dictatorship. The master-stroke in this propaganda drive by the Cuban regime was its decision to invite the BBC to cover the event. In return for a few rum cocktails the Cubans have been rewarded with a couple of pieces of gushing PR that must have exceeded even … Continue reading

There’s nothing like a biased intro to a BBC debate Can Capitalism have a heart? – asks Sarah Montague on BBC Today. She interviews the Church of England appointed Ken Costa, who seems a reasonable chap, but almost entirely from the perspective of Swampy and his pals. Not a word of the disgraceful behavior of those protesters who have turned Wren’s masterpiece into a public latrine, whose excrement has to be … Continue reading
I am sure you will have noted the FIFA ban on the England team wearing poppies at the weekend friendly against Spain. I tuned in to the BBC’s Nolan show this morning (Stuck in traffic and I’m a masochist!) and who was the guest expert commentator? Why none other than my old pal from the Sunday Morning Live green room, the former Biship of Hulme, Stephen Lowe. (You will recall … Continue reading
