It’s been a tricky time for the eco-wacko global warming cultists what with Mother Earth not doing what they demand, but I see that the BBC has managed to find a way to fight back with the exultant headline “Global Warming – “Confirmed”. I see our good friend on Biased BBC Richard Black is behind this advocacy on behalf of the Berkeley Earth Project. Lest you doubt the veracity, read … Continue reading
Well, I reckon he got what he deserved but how do you think the BBC is managing the coverage of Gadaffi’s bloody demise? Shall we have a public enquiry…? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Question Time tonight comes from Glasgow. David Dimbleby is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg, a rebellious Conservative with absolutely no connection to Glasgow at all, LibDem MP Alistair Carmichael (who dropped out of Glasgow Uni so a tenuous connection at least), local Labour MP Margaret Curran, the SNPs Education Minister Mike Russell, journalist Cristina Odone and a Scottish actor called Brian Cox. Jacob Rees-Mogg, eh? You might as well scrawl Ambush on … Continue reading

BBC R4 TODAY CLIMATE CHANGE OBSESSION (mp3) That was as much as I could take on a frosty morning. On the plus side – shouting expletives at the radio wakes you up, so there is that at least.

What these 200 companies actually mean when they say they demand “more action on climate change” is that they are after more subsidies from the money that government is taking off us in taxes, and they want more green taxes on the public so that the government will be able to give them more subsidies. This story proves beyond doubt the grim reality that every single one of our major … Continue reading
The BBC does not seem to enjoy having complaints about it being made public. Yesterday, I blogged the genuine concerns of a B-BBC reader and license payer; here is what he received back this morning from the BBC. In my view, a Public Broadcaster should have nothing to fear from frank and honest examination of complaints, don’t you think?

Spot what’s missing from this piece of so-called reporting by the BBC. Predictably, this most disturbing report about the agonising impact of fuel poverty has been processed by BBC business “reporter” Damian Kahya without mentioning at all the key fact – namely, that all this heartbreak has been engineered by green policies which have deliberately jacked up the price of electricity generation in the lunatic quest to shift to so-called … Continue reading
Here is a tale of how the BBC treats those who raise genuine concerns. I am sharing the email exchange for your interest with the permission of the person concerned.

Here we go again…Richard Black advocating at full throttle that governments should start taxing oil at the well-head to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Begrudgingly, he concedes that efforts to create a “carbon” market have been a fiasco and a farce, but now he reckons that every barrel of oil should cost more. Words fail me…he is actually advocating – at a time when energy prices are going through the roof … Continue reading
As a bit of a veteran of BBC radio debates, I can tell you that one of the biggest challenges is the way in which the host can limit your ability to react and respond to whoever you are debating with. This can be really frustrating and when one holds views that do not synch with BBC- as is the case with myself -it is also very predictable. You are … Continue reading
