For a truly chilling account of the dissembling, back somersaulting, contortionism and duplicity the broadcasting establishment is prepared to engage in to defend its alarmist approach to climate change, I recommend you have a good look at this masterly piece of forensic journalism by Tony Newton at Harmless Sky. Ofcom, Channel 4 and a spaghetti soup of useless, scheming, economical-with-the-truth “regulators” have decided that Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth is … Continue reading →

How about the BBC leading coverage of the Labour Party conference with the headline “Labour not Communists”? No? How about the BBC leading their coverage of Sinn Fein’s annual conference with the headline “Sinn Fein not terrorists”? No? Well, yesterday, MY party had its annual conference and the BBC headline? “TUV “not vote splitters”. Marvellous. We made speech after speech saying what we ARE, and the BBC pick up on … Continue reading →

So, I’m back from the BBC. I was invited on to the William Crawley hosted “Sunday Sequence” show to discuss the issue of water-boarding. My opponent was the local Shamnesty International Supremo. Patrick Corrigan. I am on at 1hr 25mins. I took issue with how the debate was set up by the host and objected to the “so-called war on terror” as William put it. To my mind, that very … Continue reading →

Here is a guest post by Clameur de Haro. “With all the protestations coming from Our Beloved Bastion of Collectivism about how impartiality is in their genes, I thought I’d occasionally delve a little deeper into the genes of some of its more prominent luminaries to try and establish just how much impartiality there is to be found there.  Stephanie Flanders (above) seemed as good a place as any to … Continue reading →

Nick Clegg seemed television-friendly and attractive before the general election, but after gaining all that popularity during the first election debate he threw most of it away, almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Neither the Lib Dems’ underwhelming performance in the election nor Nick’s astonishing indecision when the balance of power lay in his hands have curtailed the public’s enthusiasm for the deputy PM. Well, maybe a tiny … Continue reading →

Matt Frei mused during the violent student riots on Wednesday about what he saw as a relevant problem with higher education costs in the US. Could UK students’ rage find echo in US? Frei realizes there’s a disparity between the amount of money over which at least one student attempted manslaughter, and the amount required to attend a top US school. However, he doesn’t seem to understand the situation in … Continue reading →

What can I say? Mr Harrabin is definitely back with a vengeance. His scare today – after the energy alarmism earlier in the week – is water shortages. Climate change, he faithfully recycles from a resident econut, will crucify us, either through drought or floods, or both; the solution, as always is more laws, more government, more regulation – oh, and on this one, make sure that the BBC’s beloved … Continue reading →

Armistice Day Question Time tonight comes from London. On the panel tonight we have Theresa May MP, Caroline Flint MP, Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles (the Special Ambassador to Afghanistan and Pakistan), Clive James and Douglas Murray.

Jon Donnison has a scoop. “Stop Press! No Change!”He’s bursting to tell us that the UN says there has been ‘no material change for people in Gaza since Israel was “easing” its economic blockade of the Palestinian territory’. As if that wasn’t enough of a sensation, John Ging, head of UN operations in Gaza has more astounding revelations.“There’s been no material change for the people on the ground here in … Continue reading →
