How Insane Is Mark Mardell?

This insane: The president had waved a copy of his hefty American Jobs Act and told them the USA had to catch up with the likes of China and North Korea in spending on high-speed rail and education. The President of the most successful, most prosperous country in the history of the world says we need to catch up with North Korea, and the BBC US President editor is fine … Continue reading

LOVING ERDOGAN

There is precious little which gets BBC hearts-a-beating than some good old fashioned Jew baiting. I was reading this report on the comments made by Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan in which he says recognising “Paletine” is an obligation, not just an option.

I spotted that in the lead up they talked about the plane being “laden with fuel£ when it hit. It was also laden with HUMAN BEINGS … Continue reading

NO SAFE HAVEN, NO IMPARTIALITY

“Over the past few weeks we have heard a new refrain from the BBC George Osborne says that low interest rates and foreign investment are a sign of confidence in his economic policies. However the BBC’s Stephanie Flanders (and others in the Beeb) beg to differ….it is a sign of looming economic disaster and investors are panicking. “I guess it depends on your definition of safe haven. Investors are buying … Continue reading
