The BBC is cunning. During the past week as it became clear that Chris Patten was destined to become next Chairman of the BBC Trust the BBC propaganda line has been to suggest he is some sort of far right capitalist loving Tory who might smash them! As Neil Hamilton puts it… “THE BIGGEST joke of the week was the BBC cowering in terror at the prospect of Lord Patten … Continue reading
Anyone catch Alex “the precepts of Scottish justice” Salmond on the Marr show? He was allowed to weasel his way out of the Al Megrahi issue simply by repeating “precepts of Scottish justice” to a simpering Marr. He was also allowed to get away with his wild claims about “free” Education for Scottish students without any budget implications. Quite simply, Salmond comes on and lies through his teeth and Marr … Continue reading
Hi there! Back again and awaiting your thoughts as the weekend beckons… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
John Horne Tooke posed an interesting – if idealistic – question in his comment on my posting yesterday about Richard Black’s slavish continued reporting of climate change sensationalism. He pondered: If only the BBC would employ people with enquiring minds, people who want to search for the truth, then they may be worth the licence fee. Evidence that it won’t actually came my way when I was sent a copy … Continue reading

What an inspired appointment ! “The BBC is facing fresh concerns about political bias after appointing an outspoken left-winger as the editor of Question Time. The corporation yesterday announced that Glasgow-based Nicolai Gentchev has been handed the role after the previous editor quit over the decision to move the show to the Scottish city. But last night it emerged that the BBC employee had written a series of book reviews and articles … Continue reading
Question Time tonight comes from Edinburgh. On the panel we have Leader of the Scottish Conservatives Annabel Goldie MSP, SecofState for Scotland and LibDem Michael Moore MP, Labour’s Wee Dougie Alexander MP, Green Party MSP and painfully right-on Patrick Harvie, and the SNPs Nicola Sturgeon MSP. Londoner Nick Ferrari is the final panelist despite his only apparent connection to Scotland being appearing with Sean Connery as an extra in Octopussy. As we’re coming … Continue reading
I came across this astonishing article by Benedict Brogan in the Telegraph newspaper today. As it had gone online yesterday I braced myself before checking out the expected tirade of hostile comments. Strangely, they weren’t predominantly hostile though the article was certainly ‘popular’ as it attracted over 1,400 comments. The article begins by alluding to David Cameron’s speech to the CST in which he promised support for the Jewish people … Continue reading
In Fawlty Towers, it was one of Manuel’s proudest declarations. “I know nothing, Mr Fawlty”. That got laughs. But what about an interesting story that suggests Ed Miliband declared he “knew nothing” about what was going on in Tunisia just before he went on the Andrew Marr programme? And what a stroke of luck that Marr decided not to discuss the Tunisian situation! For full details visit Mark Wallace’s post … Continue reading
