This is beginning to look like let’s get Richard Black, but he (and the BBC idiots who employ him) deserve it. There is a delicious irony in this story. Mr Black has come out all guns blaring in support of his old chums Greenpeace against a nasty nuclear energy company, EDF. Greenpeace, like Mr Black, want the UK energy supply industry to go back to the dark ages, so the … Continue reading →

A couple of days ago he was getting his panties in a bunch about those evil Koch Brothers, today it’s the Anglo-Saxon world in general: To those who despair of the success of sceptical lobbying, the message is clear: learn one of the languages of Brazil, China or India. Even French might do at a pinch. Black’s article – which bemoans the apparent undue influence of climate scepticism in English-speaking … Continue reading →

One of the battalion of Beeboids covering the US these days, Jonny Dymond, has just done an extremely one-sided collection of sob stories for Today about the struggles of the middle class.  He went to a couple of slowly dying cities in Connecticut to create his tapestry of woe, and his agenda is clear. I say it’s one-sided not because there are tons of stories of rising successes for the … Continue reading →

Well. it looks like Berlusconi is following Papandreou out through the exit door, as demanded by Merkozy. This morning, the BBC pondered the future for Italy. Naturally, they push the “tighter fiscal and political union” fantasy of Barroso and his pals. They are also fixated on the personality of Berlusconi.They might do better to listen to the markets, now factoring Italy’s 10yr bond rates at 7%. That’s immediate bail-out time, … 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 →
