Lots of flooding over here in Northern Ireland. Here’s the BBC report and I will highlight the last few sentences for your edification; Weather and climate expert Philip Eden said the current weather systems bringing the rain were taking longer to move on. “Does this have anything to do with climate change? The lack of ice in the Arctic at the end of the summer may have contributed to the … Continue reading
The BBC has been very happy to promote the comments of William Hague as being those of a “leading Eurosceptic”. Why? What has he ever achieved to merit such a reputation? He is quite clearly part of the Cameron rolling roadshow which pretends it is Eurosceptic but insists that the time for expressing such is never “quite right”. The BBC had Bernard Jenkin on here this morning and very eloquent … Continue reading

Had to laugh at the punchline from this! “BBC’s coverage of the OWS protests is now 24 hour….and very friendly and amenable it all sounds: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01609dk ‘Up All Night went to St Paul’s Cathedral in London meets the anti-capitalists protestors. ‘ The BBC happy to provide a platform for the protestors to have a free, unopposed rant….though they will only ‘resist peaceably’….passive resistance like Ghandi or Martin Luther King according … Continue reading
It’s all in the angle taken. Biased BBC contributor Alan observes:“When Gaddafi’s convoy was hit by NATO aircraft all news reports took similar line…..it was a military convoy trying to escape the NTC troops…even the BBC reported this:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/world-africa-15387872’13:55 Nato aircraft on Thursday morning struck two pro-Gaddafi military vehicles in the vicinity of Sirte, a spokesman said. “At approximately 08:30 local time (GMT+2) today, Nato aircraft struck two pro-Gaddafi forces military … Continue reading
Nice to see that austerity has not quite reached the shores of the BBC; “BBC fatcats have splashed out thousands of pounds of licence-payers’ cash on nearly 100 leaving parties at exclusive restaurants and bars. Staff, including many top executives, spent £70,000 on alcohol and lavish parties despite a pledge to cut more than 20 per cent off the corporation’s entire budget. The figure includes £20,403 on staff leaving parties … Continue reading
Sorry I’m a little late in getting to this, but life intrudes occasionally. I saw this the day it was posted, but didn’t have time to deal with it until now. BBC US President editor blogged about Libya and the death of Gaddafi. And it’s classic Mardell in full acolyte mode. Gaddafi killed: A new kind of US foreign policy success “Wow”, said Hilary Clinton as she was handed a … Continue reading
I’ll admit I have very little sympathy for those prelates at St.Paul’s who chose to welcome the anarcho-communist rabble whilst sending the police away but who NOW think Swampy and co need to clear off. However I recommend you give THIS BBC interview a whirl. It is perfectly clear where John Humphyrs sympathies lie. I just love the way that the protestors against reality “General Assembly” line is lapped up by … Continue reading
The BBC has managed to squeeze two items out of a Washington Post story on Marco Rubio’s family history, with a news report and an accompanying bit of pointless padding from Daniel “let’s defend Obama” Nasaw (unsurprisingly both pieces make prominent reference to Rubio’s status as a Tea Party favourite). Thanks to the internet we can get a different perspective, and Hot Air provides us with a statement from the … Continue reading
“Power without responsibility – the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages”. Why Baldwin could have been talking about the State Broadcaster. Or the SNP. Post World War Two the remnants of burnt out Europe were allowed to build up their socialist Nirvana (Now RIP) because the United States bore the heavy lifting of funding the DEFENCE of it’s borders. The modern European Nanny State was able to prosper because it … Continue reading
