If, unlike me, you missed the first half-hour of this morning’s Today programme on Radio 4 here’s a summary of the main points. You may detect a theme. 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 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
I’m back and inviting you to #occupy the BBC. Thoughts on their bias please? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I blogged on this over on A Tangled Web but I have to admit I was HORRIFIED by the way the the BBC ran it earlier today. In true totalitarian style, the idea that the old should be “encouraged” to swap their property with our booming younger population (Demographics suitably opaque)was posited with little sense of alarm. In fact. it all made such good sense. All the State needs to … Continue reading
A search on the BBC website for ‘Occupy Wall Street‘ brings up pages of articles within the last month (the first appearing on 23rd September). There are now well over thirty articles just about the U.S. protests from that period. Compare that to an equivalent search for the ‘Tea Party‘. The movement took off in a big way during the first three months of 2009 and by April some half … Continue reading
