The Telegraph highlights the behaviour of the BBC during the London rioting and focuses on the Corporation’s use of the term “protesters” to describe the feral scum infesting our streets. “Two days after a peaceful protest over the death of suspected gangster Mark Duggan in Tottenham ended, the corporation was still using the term to describe violent looters. That was despite the fact that hundreds of youths, with no connection to … Continue reading
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?

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
