Anyone catch the odd interview here with Irish PM Enda Kenny on BBC “Today” this morning? The line being taken by Evan Davies was that Ireland should follow Iceland and choose to default on its massive debt. Enda, being a good little European, insisted that Ireland was 100% committed to “colleagues” in the EU. Wonder why the BBC were wanting him to suggest he might follow Iceland? – one way … Continue reading
Well, Universal Shami was never going to see anything POSITIVE about the policing of the “Trade Unionists against Reality” demonstration in London a few weeks ago and so it is natural the BBC afford her a soapbox to spout her predictable bile against the Met. Since when did Shami represent anything beyond a little liberal clique and why does she be given such massive prominence? Why was there no other … Continue reading
As a member of the Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport, I imagine Louise Bagshawe bumps into Jeremy Hunt quite a lot. I was wondering, since she has taken an interest in the BBC’s bias against Israel, whether she had drawn Mr. Hunt’s attention to Melanie Phillips’s open letter about the very same subject! According to the Jewish Chronicle, the BBC has backed down over their lack of coverage … Continue reading

Nick Cohen wrote: “……….. Jeremy Bowen is blinking at his cameraman in Tripoli, like some startled, uncomprehending mammal who has been shaken by the convulsions around him from a hibernation that has lasted for most of his career.”He’s still blinking. Caught in the headlights in Tripoli, I think he has suddenly woken up! He’s telling us that the rebels in Libya might not be all they’re cracked up to be. … Continue reading
I had the misfortune to work on a freelance basis a couple of times for Richard Branson. My conclusion? He’s a greedy, publicity-mad, calculating, self-serving, tight-fisted egomaniac (objectionable enough to make even the Adam Smith Institute into anti-capitalists). So I find this cat-spat between Richard Black and said Mr Branson tiresomely engaging. In the one corner, eco-nut Black is busting a gut to tell us that the Branson publicity wheeze … Continue reading
HI folks – just popping in from the election trail to ask you your thoughts on BBC’s Stephen Nolan. You see, I’m returning the favour because Mr Nolan keeps talking about me on his election programmes. It’s as if he would like to try and damage my Party’s election chances by selective quotes from A Tangled Web but he NEVER quotes from Biased BBC. I think this is such a … Continue reading
Question Time tonight comes from that famous bastion of middle-of-the-road politics…Liverpool. On the panel tonight we have Baron and part time vampire Michael Howard, adulterer, windmill fanatic and expenses fiddler* Chris Huhne, Pantone #1235 (Saffron) coloured bank robber Peter Hain, Alex Wee Eck Salmond and former New Statesman deputy editor Cristina Odone. *As a bit of random trivia, Huhne claimed £85.35 on expenses for having a picture of himself framed and inscribed. … Continue reading
