Always good for the BBC to start the day with some good old fashioned NHS shroud waving, Check out the link on the Midwife shortages caused by the fearsome Osborne cuts that are now “risking lives”in England. One of the reasons for this, according to BBC Today, is the increasing birth-rate in parts of England. Curious how there is a certain coyness about where those areas might be and which … Continue reading
Was interested to listen to Mark Mardell’s latest love letter to Obama on BBC Today this morning. This time the issue is Europe and Mark’s on the case. The situation is clear, he advises, Obama is very worried about what is happening in Europe and the looming prospect of another banking crisis has made him spell it out – go ahead and have a federalised Europe. The answer to Europe … Continue reading

I was reading this report on the comments made by Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan in which he says recognising “Paletine” is an obligation, not just an option. Well, what to expect from a pig but a grunt – but this is where the BBC reports gets more interesting… The BBC’s Jonathan Head in Cairo says … Continue reading
I was touched to read this BBC report on Libya. Mustafa Abdul Jalil outlined his plans to create a modern democratic state based on “moderate Islam” to thousands of flag-waving supporters in the newly renamed Martyrs’ Square. The head of the National Transitional Council has delivered his first speech in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, since the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi.

You will recall we posted this a few days back concerning alleged BBC “comedian” Anthony Richardson and his not so hilarious antics. Max Farquar had also done some great work on the same subject which has resulted in this apology. Draw your own conclusions. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
BBC gutted that their preferred candidate to become the next Head of the Met, Sir Hugh Orde, has been rejected in preference to Bernard Hogan-Howe. Just watch the BBC now move to try and undermine the new boy. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
