It’s a tricky moment for the BBC as the US stock market drops even lower than Obama’s approval ratings, so what to do to try and bolster their hero? How about inviting one of his advisers, Laura Tyson, on to Today for an inspirational interview with a simpering John Humphyrs? What amused me was that Humphyrs came across as more upbeat about the prospects for the US economy than even … Continue reading
Well, as violent thugs (Impoverished youth with inadequate community centre provision caused by the heartless Coalition. if you work for the BBC) torch parts of our Capital city, and others join in the infernal jollity in Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Nottingham, the multi-billion £££ BBC has been out to report the news. I heard Ken Livingstone on Newsnight last night and it almost made me physically nauseous. In these terrible … Continue reading
In a series of incidents last night, a drawing room was severely damaged. Our reporter at the scene : “Well, I can tell you this morning that this drawing room has been almost totally destroyed. The china cabinet has been destroyed and its contents smashed, all the furniture looks as if it’s been sat on by something heavy – even the doors are smashed off their hinges. Witnesses have spoken … Continue reading
Doug Stanhope is encouraging his adoring fanbase to contact the BBC to defend Richard Bacon. In trademark foul-mouthed style he rants against the “fuck-mouth” at the Down’s Syndrome Association who wrote Friday’s official statement, saying the person “is not fit to protect the retarded. Oh… and go fuck yourself in the head.” He just doesn’t give a fuck, does he? In case you miss the point, he even says it: … Continue reading
Recently, I talked about a few states in the US that had actually taken strong steps towards fixing their own economies, even moving into surplus, by decreasing spending, entitlement reform, and tax breaks. The BBC censored all information about this, never told you. This is unfortunate, as it would have provided a useful context in which to consider the national budget situation. Ohio, Wisconsin, and South Carolina did exactly the … Continue reading
Just another manic Monday and a fresh Open Thread to accompany it. World financial metldown, London aflame, how is the BBC doing in terms of balanced coverage? This is where you get your say… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Did you catch this interview this morning with the omnipresent on the BBC Claudia Webbe on Today? If I heard it correctly, she appeared to suggest that whilst all violence is utterly repellent (wait for it…) there are different types of violence. Violence against Police Officers, she suggests, is a different type of violence, a type that is understandable. Focus on 2 mins in and you hear the abhorrent leftist … Continue reading
I try to avoid BBC 5 LIVE on the basis that listening to Today is as much as I can stomach but thankfully other B-BBC readers do tune in…“BBC ‘Weekend Breakfast’ happy to have a ‘local resident’ tell us that the man killed by police recently was murdered and executed by them…’and the people are so angry and their not going to stop rioting and looting until they see justice’….not … Continue reading
An eagle eyed B-BBC reader notes; How odd….an article in the Guardian by one of Ken Livingstone’s mates echoes precisely a BBC article:Both suggest it was Tory cuts wot done it….to youth clubs, jobs and police finances. Compare the beginnings of the articles: From the BBC: ‘Was Saturday night an orgy of mindless violence or a cry of rage from a marginalised, disaffected part of society? Riots polarise opinion and instant analysis … Continue reading
BBC coverage of the Tottenham thuggery has been utterly appalling. I note they have virtually lionised the “young man” Mark Duggan tragically killed whilst…erm…trying to murder a Police Officer, allegedly. Now we get the usual dross about looking for the “deeper reasons” behind the riots. I blame Thatcher – how about you? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
