Further to Robin’s earlier post, here’s another interesting blast from Fiona Fox’s past: DISGRACED former Labour politician Jim Devine persuaded a friend to call his office manager pretending to be a journalist looking into MPs expenses, it was claimed today.But when she took time off for stress after discovering his actions had been an elaborate hoax, he told other staff that it was her being investigated for fraudulent expenses claims … Continue reading
Bishop Hill has blogged on the BBC’s response to concerns about the Horizon programme which shamefully stitched up James Delingpole. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions. All I would add is that it shows yet again, the utter dishonesty and bankruptcy of the BBC approach to climate change. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The content of Fiona Fox article on the BBC College of Journalism site has been ably and rightfully savaged in the comments that have been posted. There’s nothing I can add, except that it was shooting ducks in a barrel. My point about this latest exercise in smug, we-know-we-are-right agitprop is to ask who at the BBC thought Ms Fox was qualified in the first place to write such a … Continue reading
The BBC are running a series on the rise of the ‘far right’ in Europe, and leveraged their investment with a report on The World Tonight featuring the Danish People’s Party*, and the hopes of human rights (aka open borders) activists that the judiciary may change some of the unsatisfactory immigration legislation resulting from the unrestricted use of democratic elections and the universal franchise. I’ll pass by the writer’s assertion … Continue reading

Being a big fan of Top Gear she was amused to see the following answers from a Year 10 boy (click to enlarge): Heh. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
This morning’s Today programme devoted substantial time to allegations – scandalous if true – that the Metropolitan Police has undertaken an orchestrated campaign to discredit expert defence witnesses in Shaken Baby court cases. One of the pathologists in question stated: “…it appears to me that there has been an attempt to remove from the courts all of those people who are willing to challenge the mainstream hypothesis” A supposedly impartial … Continue reading
One of the areas I have reported on recently is the extent to which established concerns (blue chip corporations, professional bodies and so on) are tied up in the climate change scam. Their senior executives are engaged in multi-dimensional strategies to work out how to the scare the public and the government into coughing up ever-greater amounts in subsidies and into developing crackpot schemes to deal with “climate change impacts” … Continue reading
