I was intrigued by this item on the BBC concerning how CCTV cameras are being placed in student bins in a drive “to change young peoples’ attitudes to recycling”. The Big Brother aspect of such an unwelcome intrusion into anyone’s private life sails right over the BBC and instead it is all about how “we” can cure “bad bin habits”. What a load of rubbish. How about having someone on to … Continue reading
Look, let’s get ONE THING straight. There is no way that the imminent shelving of the proposed 50% sentence cuts for an early plea of guilty can be blamed on Justice Secretary Ken Clarke. No way. Have a laugh and listen to Nick Robinson come to Clarke’s rescue on Today this morning in a quite remarkable example of BBC bias. It seems Oliver Letwin is to blame! You see whilst … Continue reading
I’ve commented before on the close links between the BBC and the fanatical lobby group Sandbag, which it now seems is now directly involved in writing greenie government policy – to the extent that at least 1,500 UK jobs have been lost because of the insane, unilateral desire to implement carbon taxes. This is beyond a joke. These pig-ignorant greenies are wrecking people’s lives on an increasingly massive scale and … Continue reading
Wow – this BBC report on the alleged “crisis” in University funding has all the greats lined up to take a pop at the Coalition. Margaret Hodge leads the charge, ably supported by Student Grant aka Aaron Porter, alongside Sally Hunt (No, that’s not rhyming slang) from the Comrades in UCU Lecturers union, and were that enough good old Nicola Dandridge, another favoured BBC talking head. Naturally there is no … Continue reading
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
