Can you imagine the coverage the BBC would have provided had George W Bush signed the WRONG YEAR in a visitor’s book at Westminster Abbey or entirely fluffed a toast to Her Majesty? But when Obama does it, why it a mere “hiccup”. One rule for one…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Mid-week and time for a new open thread! Are you enjoying the BBC’s sycophantic coverage of The One’s visit? Any other issues bothering you? Let me know…! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Energy companies, thank God, are not consumed with green lunacy to the extent that they have stopped exploring for new resources. Cairn Energy, for example, is a UK success story which is making £1bn a year pre-tax profits drilling for oil in areas such as Greenland and India in some of the harshest environments on earth. The annual report shows that company operations pay sensible respect to environmental issues – … Continue reading
It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting here having a bitter laugh at the book Bad News From Israel. Actually, it was only yesterday (or the day before.) Anyway, now the authors have brought out the sequel. “More” BNFI.I’m mentioning this because even Rod Liddle thinks the proposition that the BBC is too pro Israel is a bit far fetched. Some people’s disapproval of Israel and Jews is … Continue reading
Give this video by Rodney Atkinson some of your time. Whilst discussing the EU it also does mention the BBC’s censorship of Churchill between 37-39. It’s interesting to compare Rodney’s dissection of the EU with the BBC’s worship of the same wicked institution! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I am sure that the Monty Python team would never get away with their “Bruces” sketch in this politically correct BBC era. I note that the BBC was trawling an item here which alleges that Aborigines in urban areas of Australia suffer worse health than those in remote areas. Phil Mercer reports from Sydney on the discrimination they often face at hospitals and clinics. It’s a no-win scenario for the Aussies … Continue reading
The BBC mentioned it once but they think they got away with it. The US administration is examining the legality of continuing in the Nato-led Libya campaign beyond Friday. The War Powers Resolution, passed after US withdrawal from the Vietnam War, rules that involvement in combat operations unauthorised by Congress must be terminated after 60 days. That deadline is on Friday and deputy secretary of state James Steinberg has said … Continue reading
To the BBC, the opening of Britain’s loony “green bank” – a new way to waste billions of our cash – is clearly a cause for unqualified celebration and cue for the usual carping greenie comment about the measures not being green enough. Meanwhile, in the real world, Matt Ridley tells us with masterly incision why greenie policies are literally costing us the earth. Click through to read and contribute … Continue reading
The BBC runs an item here on Obama’s visit to the Irish Republic and suggests that this will bring much needed economic benefit. How? It seems to me that this just the beginning in a series of items the BBC will run this week eulogising the imagined powers of their man in the White House. It’s hard to see how a 24hour visit from the US President can revive the … Continue reading
You will need a strong stomach to listen to this fulsome tribute to Obama from Mark Mardell on the BBC this morning. Note the total lack of objectivity – this is full-on Obamalove and an utter disgrace. If we recall how the BBC reported similar events during the Bush years, never was a contrast greater.
