The boys and girls in the BBC biodiversity political movement are in full scale production. Here’s Mark Kinver telling us that cemeteries are perfection in promoting biodiversity, even in nasty industrial places like Manchester (moral let’s kill more people?). I can’t quite see the news angle, but what does news matter if you are on a crusade? If that doesn’t drive the message home, try David Shukman, who has been … Continue reading
Do you think George Osborne is trying to “knacker the economy” and “ruin lives”? Do you love Green Party leader Caroline Lucas (despite her weird eyebrows)? Is leftie human rights lawyer and Labour peer Baroness Kennedy a hero of yours? Do you believe that the BBC Trust was wrong to criticise an inaccurate report by Jeremy Bowen? Do you think the rescue of the Chilean miners offered a good excuse … Continue reading
Serve a complaint robust enough to penetrate the barrier surrounding the BBC’s complaints department, if there really is a complaints department, only to get it batted back with “We think we got it about right” A typical case in point concerns the Middle East coverage, about which Mark Thompson says “We get complaints from both sides so we must be doing something right.” I’m no statistician, but I think I’ve … Continue reading

I think it’s useful to sometimes consider how the BBC regional programmes also play a significant role in advancing the BBC’s own national malignancy. Take this small item tucked away in the Northern Ireland section. It takes a report from one of the local Banks flagging up a loss of “consumer confidence” ever since “the General Election and the June emergency budget”. The coda is simple – the Coalition is … Continue reading
Anyone catch this interview on Today? John Humphrys versus Theresa May. As ever, our intrepid BBC impartial interviewer (it’s in his DNA) was out to grill the evil Conservative and I think he gave the game away when at one point he claims “your job is to protect police jobs”. No, her job is to provide us with an efficient and affordable Police Force. In the BBC world view, the … Continue reading
Further to Robin’s post on the Richard Black led “End is nigh” waffle on the Biodiversity Junket in Japan, I noticed that Today was quick enough to follow on that item with an item on how the Otter has made a remarkable comeback from “the edge of extinction.” All subtle stuff from the State propagandists.

It’s going to be a crunch week for the Coalition and the BBC is out to ensure maximum damage, as one would anticipate from such a biased leftist broadcaster. So, take the news this morning that the leaders of 35 of the UK’s most successful large companies have come out supporting Chancellor Osborne’s approach to making the necessary cuts. It’s good news for wee Georgie but Robert Pesto (He who … Continue reading
As I have suspected would happen, now that there are more and more problems in the climate change crusade, the BBC is increasingly shifting its emphasis on the intensifying push to introduce world government to ensure biodiversity. The UN convention that is frantically studying this topic in order to extract as much political cpaital as possible is meeting in Japan, and Richard Black is of course there at our expense. … Continue reading
“I’m happy to announce I’m proud of the BBC“, says Mitch Benn, who has made a small fortune over the years on the back of the telly tax. So happy he’s even made a video about his “beleaguered meal ticket Beeb” – which you can apparently get from iTunes from November 1st; although to be fair you’d need to be a brain damaged lemur on crack to want to. It … Continue reading
