The NHS and the BBC have much in common. Both are anachronistic, grossly overstaffed, massively inefficient and in need of major surgery, if you’ll pardon the pun. However the BBC is a major defender of the NHS and nowhere is this more evident in how it has been running a campaign to endlessly undermine the attempts by David Cameron to introduce at least some sort of modest reform into the NHS. … Continue reading
Anyone catch this interview on the BBC this morning? It concerns the government plan to tackle Islamic extremism and in brings the BBC Former security minister Baroness Neville-Jones and Azad Ali, chair of the Muslim Safety Forum and an adviser to the previous Labour government. Azad plays the role of outraged moderate Muslim except that is not quite the entire picture. Mayor Boris Johnson has given at least £30,000 of taxpayers’ … Continue reading
[Update added] Two stories involving American politicians who have been embarrassed by photos on the internet. One was a little-known first-time candidate standing for the House of Representatives last year, the other is a prominent, well-known congressman who has been in the House of Representatives for over 12 years and has designs on becoming mayor of New York. Apart from the fact that the BBC rushed to run the first … Continue reading
A double whammy from Evan Davis on the first paper review of this morning’s Today programme. Not only did he treat us to the paper review catchphrase (“The Guardian leads with the same story as us”) he went on to tell us that the Telegraph’s main headline (about the IMF) was “slanted”. Thanks for the editorialising, Evan, but how about letting us make up our own minds? What was it … Continue reading

In a preamble to an announcement tomorrow from Theresa May requiring our Universities to be less submissive in their disturbing accommodation of militant Islam, Today had a “debate” between James Brandon, head of research at the Quilliam Foundation, and Nicola Dandridge, of Universities UK. Mr Brandon was sympathetic to the views of the Home Secretary and got a tough time by Justin Webb. He was interrupted, corrected and he even had … Continue reading
Another interesting insight into the biased mind of the BBC here. Justin Webb evidently has a problem with “Big Pharma” in true comradely fashion so when some of the world’s major producers of important drugs announce plans to supply at cost an anti-diarrhoea drug for African children, he is immediately suspicious and accuses them of seeking to curry our favour by “taxing” the NHS more in order that this can … Continue reading
Lovely pouting Sarah Montague doesn’t care much for George Osborne. If you listen to this interview the tone in her voice towards him is positively glacial. It all concerns a concerted leftwing attack on the Coalition’s economic policies and naturally the BBC has been to the fore in promoting their sub-Keynesian nonsense. As the prelude to the interview with Osborne, the BBC rows in with “an increasing number of economists … Continue reading
Watching the BBC report on the bad and evil Israelis “opening fire” on harmless liberty loving and defenceless “Pro-Palestinian” demonstrators in Syria i.e Boy Bashar’s unofficial attention diverting stormtroopers. This is a nice little hit and run job on Israel and Syrian State TV is such a reliable soure. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
