ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ORIGINAL SIN

A most peculiar Thought for the Day on the Today programme this morning from Rev Dr Giles Fraser which seems to suggest the seeking economic growth is akin to original sin! Then again maybe this is not that surprising given that Rev Giles is a regular contributor to The Guardian and the Socialist Worker. (oh and a tireless crusader for gay and lesbian rights – just the sort of chap … Continue reading

HALF THE STORY, ALL THE TIME

Wonder if the BBC will pick up on this up from its ex employee Andrew Gilligan? A lobby group, Sovereign Strategy, with close ties to Labour, has been secretly backing the ‘Hacked Off’ campaign. Gosh, what a scandal. Also the charity ‘Common Purpose’ has a man on the inquiry board into hacking: Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY

For the past few weeks the BBC have used the NOTW story to pummel their arch-competitor NI owned by Murdoch with quite a bit of success. Now the Oslo massacre has provided them with the opportunity to run with the meme that “far-right” terrorism constitutes a danger almost equal to Islamic terrorism and that Christianity is as dangerous as Islam.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

The Andrew Marr show was a strange one this morning. We have BBC favourite cop, Hugh Orde talking about integrity. The adulterous Orde is the man the BBC want to become next Met Chief.

The Mail on Sunday reveals today that not only that – and despite their right-on trendy liberalism – they will work even … Continue reading

OSLO

First things first. All decent people will be horrified at what has happened in Oslo last evening. The atrocious terrorist act is beyond words and the loss of so many lives devastating. And now I turn to the BBC coverage. Within hours of the breaking news the BBC was very quick to repeat comment that the culprit was a “tall blonde man” perspective, followed this morning by “fundamental Christian” and … Continue reading

GLOATING BLACK

The Steve Jones report, excellently analysed here by James Delingpole, is nothing more than a licence from the eco-loons who run the BBC to allow its reporters to continue their torrent of climate change lies. What’s happened is an immediate ratcheting up of the invective, and the unrestrained use of warmist so-called “consensus” to back it up. Here, for example, as a taster of what’s in store, Richard Black invokes … Continue reading
