Another blow to the BBC. Greece’s cabinet has given unanimous backing to the plan by PM George Papandreou to hold a referendum on a EU debt rescue package. You will recall that only yesterday the BBC was hoping that perhaps Papandroeu would fail to win this backing, so another bad day for those living in the fetid Euro-swamps of the BBC. They wheeled on Elena Panaritis, an MP from the Greek … Continue reading
It’s been interesting observing the BBC coverage of the overnight firebombing of the offices of French satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo”. The offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have been destroyed by a petrol bomb, French police say. It comes a day after the publication named the Prophet Muhammad as its “editor-in-chief” for its next issue.Its cover carried a caricature of the Prophet making a facetious comment. The magazine … Continue reading
The BBC is a strange creature. It is profoundly anti-Christian, in my view, and as detailed in these pages over the years, but yet it has a certain fondness for the Anglican Church just so long as that institution careens off in a nihilistic leftist direction. It has been fawning in covering the commentary by well known economist Rowan Williams in the FT this morning in which he backs the … Continue reading

Have you been enjoying BBC exasperation today that the economic figures have been BETTER than they were hoping for? All day long there has been a series of pundits having to repeat the GDP growth through gritted teeth before reverting to the Ed Balls mantra inanity that the growth isn’t really growth and the ONLY way we can get our economy going forwards is…Vote Labour!

…for they shall be granted a BBC interview. With the anarcho-communist rabble polluting the space outside St. Paul’s being asked to move on, the BBC needs to try and shore up support for these noble protesters. So, at 7.51am, the BBC wheeled on two London based Church of England clerics who performed as required. They expressed the required admiration for the bravery and courage of Swampy and his pals and … Continue reading
You would need a heart of stone not to laugh at the BBC’s horrified reaction to Greek PM Papandreo’s decision to hold a referendum on the alleged “austerity measures.” Could it be that even Greece has no confidence in the EU? Heaven forbid. Anyway, the BBC wheeled on Vicky Pryce, former head of the government’s economic service, to tell us that the Greek people were “suffering terribly” because of the horrendous … Continue reading
I’m not sure if anyone else was listening to the Today programme this morning but there was a remarkably cheap little attack on GOP Presidential potential candidate, Herman Cain around 7.23am. For some reason it’s not referenced in the running order so I cannot link it for you but it consisted of a short introduction to Mr Cain who was quickly described as “facing sexual harassment charges” (Were he a … Continue reading
Anyone catch the BBC 10 News coverage of UNESCO’s decision to recognise the imaginary state of “Palestine”? The reporter was gushing in her excitement, although warning that the US decision to reduce funding may lead to illiteracy in Iraq and Afghanistan.
