Most people here will be well aware that the BBC censored news of the beginnings of the Tea Party movement in the US for about two months before the reality of nationwide, simultaneous protests on April 15, involving hundreds of thousands of people, forced them to report it. I first mentioned the issue on an open thread here back on Feb. 19, 2009, even before anyone started calling them “tea … Continue reading
Left-wing website Think Progress has a very upbeat happy-clappy take on the outcome of the Cancun climate conference. I am aware of this because BBC LA correspondent Peter Bowes recommended the article after he’d seen it tagged by one of the leading climate analysts of our generation: How much is all this going to cost UK citizens? What could we spend the money on instead? What will it mean for … Continue reading
Which producer had the idea of bringing Rupert Wingfield- Hays’s outrageous report about a five month old story to us today? I thought I was hearing a skit from Caroline Glick’s satirical show Latma. He even managed to include a donkey in his pathetic report. Wingfield- Hays resurrected the incident which has been spinned every which way to show either a) the brutality of IsraelisettlersillegalunderinternationallawthoughIsraeldisputesthis, or b) the deliberate and … Continue reading
The real story in this item is that fanatical, smug, well-off greenies who want the indulgence of owning cars that do inferior mileage and are hobbled by having to be off the road for hours at a time while they are re-charged, are being handed £43m of our cash in subsidies. Think how many old people that would help keep warm. The second seam of utter nonsense in the so-called … Continue reading
Here’s Roger Harrabin’s take on Cancun. Pushing the official BBC alarmist line as usual, he’s terribly worried that not enough is being done to “curb emissions”. Sadly, he doesn’t mean his own: Study after study shows that the current offers of emissions cuts are way, way off track, supposing that the climate models are right. Of course, Mr Harrabin firmly believes that those models are right, and he and the … Continue reading

The BBC covered the Jihad attack that took place in Stockholm this morning. You should give it a listen here. It strikes me that the BBC still cannot comprehend WHY the UK is such a star destination for wannabe Jihadists.Nor, for that matter, does it choose to linger on the ISLAM connection. I wonder why?

The BBC has come to rely on Sir Hugh Orde, President of the ACPO cabal, to act as a counter for any Government proposal that might mean more effective policing. They had him on Today this morning in order that he could shoot down the suggestion coming from the Coalition that water-cannon could be deployed on our streets to prevent future riots. Orde has also been vocal in damning the … Continue reading
It appears that some Wikileaks are more equal than others. As we all know, the BBC has spent the past few weeks regaling us with all sorts of “insights” care of Mr Assange. The more embarrassing for the USA the greater the space afforded to the leaks but I note that there is one that came out overnight that the BBC is curiously silent about. You see it transpires that Irish … Continue reading
I don’t understand. If the English Defence League are, as described on BBC news, an “ultra-nationalist” group, what does that make Sinn Fein/IRA, who killed more than two thousand people over 25 years for such crimes as holding a dying soldier or shopping in Warrington ? I don’t think I ever heard the BBC talk about anything but ‘Irish nationalists’. I’m not an EDL expert, but I understand they were … Continue reading
