Guido is running with this Tweet right now – and it’s a sight to gladden the heart of seasoned bias-watchers. Could it be? Or is he just playing hard to get for a salary bump? Who is likely to replace him? And (a different question entirely) who should replace him? Or is the whole concept past its usefulness? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I thought this was an excellent tour de force on the BBC and wanted to end August by sharing it. My sincere thanks to the contributor; “Watching any BBC programme whether drama, comedy, science or nature you soon become aware you are not merely learning about the history of the Roman Empire for example but are also being subtly lectured on the evil done under the British Empire, a programme … Continue reading
Nice catch. “Victoria Derbyshire puts John Pienaar on the spot today by revealing the BBC strategy for breaking up the coalition! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b013yx49 1 hr 26 mins in. Talking about the sainted Vince Cable’s bid to split up the banks right now, Pienaar says the battle on timing of the split will spill over into the party conferences.

A major ongoing scandal in the US is the revelation that the Dept. of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF) deliberately allowed more than 2000 assault weapons to be sold to arms traffickers to sell to Mexican drug cartels. The head of the ATF has now been “re-assigned” to a keep-shtum-and-you-keep-your-pension job in another department, and the bureau chief in Arizona, where most of these guns went walkies, has been sacked. … Continue reading
Did you see the BBC running with the faux outrage from the usual suspects that it could take..gasp..almost another HUNDRED YEARS before UK women managers are paid the same as their male colleagues? Here’s the link. I heard a comrade on from the Trade Unions on saying that at least they were fighting the good fight for equality in the Public Sector but those evil males may still be earning … Continue reading

And we should also note that BBC sympathy for the “Travelling Community” in this situation is shared … Continue reading
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
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
