BENDING HISTORY (AGAIN)

By David Vance | August 26, 2010 - 11:07 am |November 12, 2012 Jimi Hendrix

26 Comments

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.

HORRIBLE HISTORIES….

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 →
