As we run up to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the BBC delights in this sort of item; “Demonising Muslim organisations which have been key to reducing Al Qaeda’s recruitment and influence in Britain has resulted in a counter-terrorism policy that is “damaging, dangerous and demeaning”. Yes, up pops Uncle Bob Lambert, the former head of the Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism unit that took charge of relations with Muslims, to tell … Continue reading
I noticed that BBC favourite Justin Forsyth from the fake charity Save the Children was allowed a platform on the BBC this morning to put forward his curious views that there are 1.6m children in the UK living in “poverty” (No there is not; He was using the contrived left wing formula of relative poverty which is never corrected by the BBC since it too uses the same biased euphemism) Justin … Continue reading
A Biased BBC contributor writes; “Michael Buerk in a trailer for the ‘Moral Maze’ commented upon the dangers of broadcasting live…’unusual and dangerous…you cannot tailor it or shape it or sanitise it…’ Unfortunately this is precisely what we get with most BBC programmes, tailored to suit an agenda, shaped to shape your ideas, sanitised to remove difficult and contrary questions. Eliza Manningham Buller, ex spook, in her first Reith Lecture … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader notes; “Has anyone noticed the following on the BBC website – it is linked to from the homepage: http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20110829-shopping-and-noshing-through-the-holy-land It refers to certain cities as being in Palestine – which does not currently exist. Even for supporter of the Two State solution, surely this is erroneous? Perhaps the areas could be called “occupied” or “disputed” territories in the article. Even the British government does not currently … Continue reading
In ancient Rome, augurs were a special class of priest who foretold the future by examining the flight patterns and sounds of birds. I quote from wiki: Only some species of birds (aves augurales) could yield valid signs whose meaning would vary according to the species. Among them were ravens, woodpeckers, owls, oxifragae, eagles. Signs from birds were divided into alites, from the flight, and oscines, from the voice. The … Continue reading
Yes, he’s the BBC North America editor, the man with his finger on the pulse of political events in the USA. I recall back in January when Mark Mardell brought us to near tears with his moving commentary on Obama’s calls for “civil discourse” (Remember that meme, the one that suggested the evil Sarah Palin was more or less directly responsible for the Arizona shootings?) But here’s the problem; For some … Continue reading
Have to laugh at the faux hysteria the BBC are trying to whip up in their endless jihad against the evil Murdoch empire! Have you see this? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
It’s pretty sad when the Muslim Brotherhood’s Ikhwanweb is more informative and balanced than the BBC. Compare and contrast: Fire and graffiti attack on Palestinian mosque in Kasra with Settlers torch mosque in Al-Mughayyir village near Ramallah Both pieces talk about how this was a (misguided and wrong, in my view) retaliation for the Israeli Government’s razing of some illegal Jewish settlements in the area. The BBC reports that the … Continue reading
Another depth plumbed by BBC science reporting. A warmist fanatic – in this case Alun Hubbard, a glaciologist whose self-declared mission is to confirm his fanaticism – has now only to say that he’s “gob-smacked” about the extent of ice loss for it to make a website lead story. Never mind that there is huge controversy about the causes of glacier melt in Greenland, and never mind that many experts … Continue reading
