A Biased BBC reader notes.. “The BBC has a tendency to attack the spread of the English language as cultural imperialism much like the spread of coca cola and Hollywood films, or democracy and capitalism…..history programmes and reports from foreign lands all manage to imply that English is destroying the local culture and society. For example this recent comment from From Our Own Correspondent: ‘English has become the tawdry ganglord of … Continue reading

Richard Black’s at it again, this time claiming to discuss objectively whether meat rearing is sustainable. His agenda of course, is that he is a greenie and greenies such as IPCC boss Patchy Pachauri and his acolytes make no secret of their contempt for human carnivores. They want the world to become vegan in the name of “sustainability”. Mr Black sticks closely to this script and uses as the main … Continue reading
Brought to my attention by another eagle-eared B-BBC Reader, Ryan. “Have a listen to the 10-11PM hour on 5 Live from yesterday. A reply of a “live” debate “from the Conservative Conference”. Several observations — 1. The Conservative debate was the only one to not be broadcast live but shunted to the late evening schedule at short notice and with hardly any publicity because of the Ryder Cup. What is … Continue reading
B-BBC reader and good egg Clameur de Hero notes… “Unreconstructed old Lefty Naughtie was in full-onGuardianista mode this morning about bank bonuses, especially when interviewingDavid Cameron: he took particular delight in quoting the Centre For Economicsand Business Research report “revealing” that bank bonuses will amount to £7bnthis year (cue righteous shock/horror). Somehow though he forgot to say that the figure is lowerthan last year: but what he also didn’t reveal … Continue reading
Michael Gove is a man the BBC does not like and this was evident this morning than on this item on his plans to enable parents and/or teachers to set up their own free schools. It’s a slanted report, aimed at telling just how awful it is and how those hateful middle-classes will simply take this over for their own wretched children. Oh dear – it’s the Nasty Party serenade … Continue reading
I was stunned by “Thought for the Day” this morning. It was by Reverend Rosemary Lain-Priestley, Dean of Women’s Ministry in central London (natch) and she came on to explain how angered she had been at the Ground Zero Mosque. With me so far? However her ANGER was directed at those New Yorkers who objected to this proposed Mosque aka “Community Centre” She expressed her self righteous anger to a … Continue reading
Hi folks! A combination of work pressures and relaunching my other site, A Tangled Web, have kept me away from the fray but I’m back and with a number of posts to follow this. One topic that the BBC has been pushing all day is the outrage of those around Jim Gamble who has resigned as head of the Child Protection unit (Ceop) because it is planned to be further assimilated … Continue reading
The BBC has influenced generations of well meaning citizens to despise Israel.Feeling impotent, they organise their outrage and demand action. Something must be done. Boycotts must be voted for. Trade Unions, student unions, self-hating Jews, Methodists and socialist workers all agree. Israel must be punished.A rabble of pro Palestinian activists gather every fortnight outside Ahava, an Israeli based company trading in London. They believe disrupting this shop and the surrounding … Continue reading
…is this sort of journalistic inquiry by the quietly brilliant blog Harmless Sky. Here, it rips apart the idea that green energy – and in particular wind power – is gaining traction as an industry. The stark reality is that people aren’t investing their cash in wind power because it’s not a viable proposition. Share prices have slumped despite the ridiculously massive government subsidies. This reality check ought to be … Continue reading
