My heart was breaking for poor holocaust denier Mahmoud Abbas who has been put “in a difficult position” according to the BBC’s Jon Donnison by those pesky Jews. The pro-Palestinian sympathy seeps out of this report as once again the BBC circle the wagons around Netanyahu. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The BBC was pushing the N.I.C.E. line that we should think about bribing the fat, the smokers, the drinkers out there to encourage them to desist from their unhealthy lifestyles. Today has this broadly sympathetic interview with Sir Michael Rawlins who kept referring to imagined and unspecified “cost savings.” I was invited on the BBC’s Nolan Show to discuss the topic an hour or so later. My view was that … Continue reading
Jews for Justice for Palestinians. What a handle! It implies that non-signatories are for Injustice for Palestinians. What about Jews for Justice for Palestinians and Israelis? The JFJFP mission statement is pretty platitudinous at first, then it tails off into stuff that makes you think they’ve relied solely on the BBC for information.Their blogroll features the websites of authors of those self-hating diatribes in the Guardian. Luvvies like Stephen Fry … Continue reading
Hi folks – been busy all day (was on the BBC earlier, we’ll get to that shortly) so just catching up with you. Everyday is now Red Ed Day and it started on Today this morning with the most SIMPERING interview I have heard in a long time with Red Derek Simpson of Unite. He was able to suggest that the Unions have been a moderating influence on Labour, and … Continue reading
Did you catch Red Ed Miliband’s debut on the BBC, his party’s broadcasting arm, this morning? With Dame Polly Toynbee watching on – it was fun to watch the rather geeky Red Ed demonstrate a lamentable grasp of the mood of the British people. However, on topic, I thought that Andrew Marr was very accommodating to Red Ed and he was given an easy ride with the primary focus being … Continue reading
Quick, catch him while you can. I refer to Mehdi Hasan. The BBC just can’t enough of this hectoring hard left pro Islamic apologist and so fresh from his “Question Time” appearance on Thursday he’s back on again on the Sunday Morning Live Programme. His appearance fees must cover his TV license and then some. One of the issues is ” Are we soft on Islam”? Quite. Other topics for Mehdi … Continue reading
(Update added) Imagine if members of a racist anti-Semitic white supremacist group, one of them armed with a nightstick, had been filmed at a polling station intimidating voters on the day of the 2004 presidential election. Imagine that this led to charges, but those charges were suddenly dropped by Bush’s Justice Department even though it had already won a default judgement in the case. And then imagine that two officials … Continue reading
Well, BBC hearts seem to be a-beating today as the coronation of the new Labour leaders approaches, and Red Ed is being touted as the likely winner. I was listening to Today this morning and one of the BBC commentators was saying that the new Labour leader COULD be Prime Minister soon, if the Coalition collapsed! Talk about true colours and wishful thinking. The BBC and Labour are different sides … Continue reading
In today’s (friday) Telegraph, tree version only, Neil Midgley has an article entitled “BBC’s £1/4m to keep Israel report secret.” “The BBC spent more than £270,000 on legal fees to keep a report on its coverage of the I/P conflict out of the public eye, it disclosed yesterday. The sum was among nearly £400,000 of spending on outside advice about FOI requests. The 20,000 word internal document was written in … Continue reading
24 hours a day, the BBC keep pumping out their toxic mix of facts and myths, half-truths and lies. Consider; BBC Radio 4 news briefing, ‘On this Day’ spot – 5:40 (ish) am 24 /09/10 “This spot features brief reminders of historical anniversaries, things that happened ‘on this day’.This morning, together with the creation of the George Cross medal, the removal of ‘the prophet Mohammed’ from Mecca to Medina featured, … Continue reading
