Before the Egyptian uprisings we were told that we in the West must support tyranny to maintain stability. After the uprisings we were told that our newly discovered duty is to oppose tyranny and support democracy. Our government strove for stability by maintaining a harmonious relationship with “tyrants,” but now they’ve seen that turning a blind eye to tyranny was morally wrong, and universal democracy would be morally right. Many … Continue reading
Several other bloggers are alarmed at the recent tidal wave of films and documentaries we’re being bombarded with, which subtly or overtly misrepresent Israel. Many have been brought to us by the BBC, but the most seductively beguiling of them all is on Channel Four. On last night’s Newsnight, in a wider discussion on the role of the media, I heard Mark Thompson say that BBC is obliged to “confront … Continue reading
Republican Congressman for Florida, Col. Allen West vs. the Executive Director of the Center for American Islamic Relations (CAIR). No prizes for guessing who comes out on top. Unless, that is, you work for or defend the BBC, in which case this video clip will make your head explode. The only time the BBC actually mentioned Col. West before was right before the elections last November, where Kevin Connolly (he … Continue reading
Due to swinging boodget coots, the local council has had to close a library, a swimming pool, and a community garden, as well as put several adorable puppies to sleep in order to afford to put up this new open thread. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The Daily Mail today notes that more than 3m legal immigrants were allowed into the UK under new Labour, with the total swelled by a further 1m illegals. This, it observes, has been the biggest invasion for a thousand years, even though their election manifesto in 1997 vowed to control our borders. (Presumably it means proportionately the largest, because the population of the UK was only around 3m in total … Continue reading
The UN wants to rob £800bn every year from the global economy to tip down the chute of eco-worship and send us back to the stone age. The BBC faithfully reports this mania , without a word of dissent or common-sense. In the BBC’s green-creed book, it must be worth reporting because 100 ministers (no less!)along with a clutch of “experts” say so. And in the world of eco-fascism, what … Continue reading
…on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.A major party political broadcast on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood has appeared on the BBC website.The BBC are committed followers of the Brotherhood, but any indecisives reading this effusive promo should have their lingering doubts swept clean away. “Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood promotes moderate path.” says the BBC, so it must be so.“The Muslim Brotherhood runs hospitals, schools, banks, community centres, and facilities for the … Continue reading
Lefty blogger (and New Zealander) Kate Belgrave : At the start of last week, I was surprised by what I felt was a relatively quiet national political and press response to the battles that were raging at council meetings as people protested about council cuts. The BBC spoke to me about using some of my stuff for segments on cuts last week, and there have been stories here and there … Continue reading
I’m sorry to keep making posts about this, but this time the BBC has really gone too far in their deceitfulness. Wisconsin budget cuts: Madison rally attracts thousands On the fifth day of such protests, opponents of the Republican state Governor, Scott Walker, outnumbered supporters of the bill. The bill introduced in the Wisconsin congress would cut sharply the wages and benefits of public sector workers, and curtail collective bargaining. … Continue reading
Is it just me or has the BBC been going out of it’s way to ensure that Red Ed Miliband gets a rebuttal in every time the Coalition so much as opens its mouth? I was looking at this page concerning the Red One’s appearance at the Welsh Labour Party Conference today, note how they actually top and tail the item with videos of Miliband waffling in that ever so … Continue reading
