GYPSIES, TRAMPS AND BBC PRODUCERS….

By David Vance | August 31, 2011 - 8:42 am |October 12, 2012 pro-gypsy

53 Comments

So, let me see if I get this right. When some Irish Gypsies decide to go ahead and build despite planning permission, and the Council moves to evict them, the question we must ponder is; “Does evicting people from the largest traveller site in England amount to ethnic cleansing?” Thus ponders Jeremy Vine. And we should also note that BBC sympathy for the “Travelling Community” in this situation is shared … Continue reading →

CBI ATTACK

By David Vance | August 31, 2011 - 8:29 am |October 12, 2012 anti-business

6 Comments

The BBC has been running with Saint Vince’s latest diatribe against the evil banks. Don’t get me wrong, as a businessman I have plenty of dealings with banks and they are certainly no angels but to suggest, as the BBC repeatedly does, that they are the source of all evils is malicious and playing into the Labour copybook. Anyway, the BBC invited CBI Director-General John Cridland onto the Today programme … Continue reading →

B-B-B-BUILD?

The BBC has been hyping up the lack of houses in England. But what could possibly be the cause? A Biased BBC observer notes; “Personally I thought it might be connected to the couple of million immigrants that have flooded into this country….cleary not as the BBC didn’t think it relevant to mention immigration as a factor at all. What do I know though….I should have listened when the campaigners … Continue reading →

PROTECTING SINGLE MUMS…

By David Vance | August 31, 2011 - 8:12 am |October 12, 2012 Single mums

A Biased BBC obeserver notes the State Broadcaster rushing to defend the honour of single mums ‘stigmatised’ by Tory politicians as having caused the recent riots. Joint BBC/Guardian effort (as with Toynbee and her class war piece). http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b013y465 Colin Paterson talks to the singer Jamelia. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0140p9n/Jamelia_Shame_about_Single_Mums/ Jamelia presents a show on single mothers. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/aug/20/jamelia-single-parents Jamelia talks to the Guardian.

THAT NICKY CAMPBELL MOMENT

By David Vance | August 30, 2011 - 8:17 pm |October 12, 2012 Nicky Campbell.

12 Comments

Here’s a retweet from the BBC’s Nicky Campbell. I wonder WHY the BBC stalwart would seek to retweet this particular essay on the Texas politician who may well become Obama’s opponent? A pre-emptive strike so early? Hat-tip to Biased BBC reader Keith! @DailyHitchensTom Does Rick Perry believe his idiotic religious rhetoric, or is he just pandering for votes? By Christopher Hitchens.slate.me/pWwUTG 29 Aug via web Retweeted by NickyAACampbell and 30 others … Continue reading →

Bill Nighy Plays Himself And Gives Those Evil Americans/Israelis One In The Eye..

By David L Riddick - The Aged P | August 30, 2011 - 2:44 pm |October 12, 2012 BBC agenda, biased drama

26 Comments

Bill Nighy, wooden, crinkled and oozing bus pass angst, meets up with earnest young woman (Rachel Weisz, born 1970!). Nighy, as per usual, autocues his lines in a monotone to nobody in particular, is hardly ever out of his overcoat and sacrifices his career and pension to flag up the evil Americans. You’ve guessed it – “Page Eight” (BBC2 28/08/11) another glossy drama of beautiful people in NW1 (and weekend … Continue reading →

LABOUR IN EVERY WAY

By David Vance | August 30, 2011 - 8:12 am |October 12, 2012 pro-labour

4 Comments

What’s remarkable about the BBC is the way in which their instinctive regard for Labour manifests itself even in the most innocent items. Take the item at 8.22am on how devolution has affected the UK. The BBC invite Peter Ackroyd on to discuss his latest history of England. Who then do they choose to balance the discussion? Yes, Labour MP Tristram Hunt who is also – lest we forget – … Continue reading →

THE CLASS CEILING

By David Vance | August 30, 2011 - 8:01 am |October 12, 2012 Polly Toynbee worship.

17 Comments

I’m sure you will be tuning in to “Class Ceiling”…it’s on Radio 4 @ 9am. “Polly Toynbee explores the ever-more-pressing question of how possible it is to move up through British society. Who gets to break the ‘class ceiling’?” They DO love Polly, don’t they and who better to cover this “ever pressing” issue in an impartial and considered manner? Our money, spent wisely.

UNITED IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!

Comments Off

I listened to Jeremy Bowen being interviewed from his perch on Tripoli this morning on Today (8.10am). One of the issues being covered was what united the “rebels”. Jeremy came back with the official BBC meme that it is a shared hatred of Gadaffi that united them. But hang on a moment, there is something else that unites them – as evidenced here – but left curiously unreported by the … Continue reading →
