I am a fan of Jimi Hendrix (since 1966!), and have also read widely about him; I am currently writing my own book which explains factors about him that have been over-idealised. Given the BBC’s record in mangling history, I therefore looked forward with some trepidation to a BBC Radio 4 programme broadcast earlier this week about this musical genius by the lefty singer-turned- broadcaster Tom Robinson. As I feared, … Continue reading
Interesting take on immigration from Mark Easton here. Glad to see that Sir Andrew Green at least tries to out him right. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I see the BBC have responded to the news that Asil Nadir is planning to come back to the UK by dragging up all those memories of the 1980’S emphasising his links to the Conservative Party. I’m not sure if this is the single biggest news story of the day, perhaps it is, but it is clear that the BBC does not miss an opportunity to put the knife into … Continue reading

It’s not just Islam the BBC likes……have a read of “Uncertain times for travellers and Gypsies” This isn’t news, it is pure propaganda. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
An update for you. It starts at roughly17 minutes in at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00snz1m Some jarring quotes: “A time when the Christian people of Europe decided to go to war with theIslamic people in the Middle East just becasue they didn’t believe in the samethings…hard to imagine I know.” “The Pope doesn’t like to share” “Heaven hungry Christians” “The Muslims weren’t about to take all this lying down, no, no, they FIGHTBACK” “Christians … Continue reading
Anyone out there caught the BBC’s “Horrible Histories”? A B-BBC reader spotted this… “I had to gulp at the opening introduction. There was a reference to the Westerners deciding to go to war with the Muslims because ‘they happened to live there’ laced with sarcasm. The rest of the narrative was blantantly anti-west. Who wrote this script, I wonder? Am I being paranoid or have they completely missed the Muslim … Continue reading
It’s odd that when the BBC runs a programme concerning the day release from a secure unit of violent offenders/sex offenders with mental health problem, the issue revolves around the fact that the offenders are “tagged” and whether this may be a civil rights violation. Not a mention of whether releasing these VERY violent people into the local community should be happening in the first place. I suppose in the … Continue reading
Another story the BBC was always going to spin. There were half a million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases last yea with more and more younger people getting infected. Up pops the BBC report on this in the prime post 8am news slot and the angle is clear, we need MORE sex education and the budget for sex education must NOT be cut. Agenda clear. I don’t suppose anyone … Continue reading
