As you know, I am currently on Biased BBC leave owing to the pressures of running an election campaign. One of the features of this is that the local BBC have been very quick to try and cherry-pick comments from my other blog, A Tangled Web, in order to try and damage my prospects. Oddly enough, they NEVER mention any comments made here on Biased BBC. I wonder why they … Continue reading
Spot what’s missing and what’s included in this BBC account of a damning, slamming report about the inadequacies of windpower. The report, by the John Muir Trust, a conservation organisation (so definitely not in the pockets of big oil or the nasty industrialists that greenies claim are behind anything that goes against their creed) concludes that windpower is not available when it’s most needed, that windfarms routinely generate substantially less … Continue reading
I listened to Gavin Esler’s programme, radio 4 ‘Esler on Eichmann’, (a title which elevates ‘Esler’ to one-name status alongside Elvis and Eminem.)It was about BBC’s favourite Jews, holocaust victims. Accordingly, there was little to complain about in the programme itself, as it consisted mainly of interviews with witnesses of Eichmann’s trial, leaving little time for cynical speculation by BBC sages.The dodgy bits are in the printed material – the … Continue reading
Here we go again. Like a rat up a drainpipe, Richard Black gleefully regurgitates the outpourings of research scientists who are being paid – in this case indirectly by the EU – to find climate scare stories. This one is the old chestnut the ozone layer, a favourite of greenies the world over since the 1980s and the topic on which, as this post points out, they cut their teeth … Continue reading

Now that the consequences of Muslim immigration have become apparent, the question is should we resist or allow ourselves to be soothed? Resistance sounds nasty and racist, so what to do? Tranquilize the entire UK population of course. Is this as deliberate as the the last government’s open doors policy turned out to be? The BBC is running a campaign to acclimatise the UK and maybe the world to the … Continue reading
Today, we have a corking example of the brazen articulation of the BBC green creed through one of their self-appointed “experts” and prophets. Step forward the totally self-regarding (see here) wildlife programme presenter Chris Packham who is telling us solemnly from his corporation eyrie that we must stop breeding, tax those who do not, buy local food, and Generally See The Error of Our Ways. Packham, in fact, is an … Continue reading
I’m not a scientist, but I do often smell a rat in BBC science stories, and here we go with another corporation special, this time a major glacier scare. Melting mountain glaciers are making sea levels rise faster now than at any time in the last 350 years, according to new research. For years they have been telling us that the snows of Kilimanjaro are about to disappear because of … Continue reading
As not quite seen on the BBC. Campaigners for the AV voting system have been accused of “airbrushing” white actor Tony Robinson out of leaflets sent to part of the country. The “Yes to AV” campaign used his picture on literature used in most parts of the UK, but featured another supporter – the black poet Benjamin Zephaniah – in London, the Sunday Telegraph reports. The “No” campaign said its … Continue reading
This has already been linked to on the Open Thread, – H/T La Cumparsita – but it deserves further attention. I posted here on this programme “A Walk in the Park” at the time. It was so one-sided that I saw it as a recipe, cooked-up and formulaic. What a contrast with Jane Corbin’s unique Mavi Marmara Panorama, which was more thoroughly researched, not unsympathetic to Israel’s point of view, … Continue reading
