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?

When Gordon Brown raided and ruined private sector pensions, I don’t seem to recall the comrades at the BBC getting too agitated, can you? But now today, when the Government seeks to bring a degree on equality to public sector pension provision, the horror of it all. Lord Hutton was on Today and Breakfast News and was, as expected given a hard time by the BBC. On Today, they trotted … Continue reading →

GOTHIC HORROR

I increasingly believe that BBC journalists bust a gut each morning to find the best climate scare story and then plot how to write it in the scariest way they can. Good game! A latest effort is this Richard Black scarefest which tells us in familiar tones and structure that a new paper has established that the IPCC “landmark” report (note the reverence – I personally would call it the … Continue reading →

A Biased BBC contributor writes…..“A remarkable tale inwhich a lot is said but what actually happened is hidden.BBC radio news tells us that there have been riots between Muslims andChristians in Egypt…caused by Christians who blocked a road in protest abouta church that had been burnt down. No indication of who had burnt the church down though.

The only time the BBC gets behind Cameron is when Nanny State comes out to play and in this case seeks to remove tobacco products from visual display. When the Coalition continues the socialist engineering agenda of banning and price hiking then it is guaranteed a good press from the State Broadcaster.
