Hey, who would have guessed it but Mona Siddique, Professor of Islamic Studies and Director for the Study of Islam, was back on Thought for the Day this morning! You will recall I mentioned the frequency of her appearances but last week and now she is back on again talking about the Religion of Peace. It’s almost as if the person who controls religious output on the BBC has a … Continue reading
Warmists have been at it for at least a decade: publishing dire predictions that heatwaves are going to kill us by thousand, we’ll all drop like flies as the mercury rises. Here’s CNN in 2000. And here’s the BBC yesterday. Note the similarities, the same strident language, the same ‘we are all doomed’ rhetoric. Like a cracked record.. When I see this statistical hogwash – which comes from the school … Continue reading
Attention all Biased BBC readers, I seek your thoughts! I’ll be on the BBC twice in the next few days discussing several subjects and I would value your opinions/thoughts. I’m on the Nolan Show tomorrow morning (BBC NI) debating whether civil partnerships (a non religious secular invention) should be permitted on religious premises. The law says they should, I say the law is an ass, they should not, what say … Continue reading
I wonder if the BBC’s coverage of the Ground Zero mosque (coming soon from Kiera Feldman) will include an interview with Greg Gutfeld about his plans to promote dialogue and outreach next door? (Some more bar names here, if you’re interested.) Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Here we are, mid-week, and time for a fresh open thread…! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Remarkable interview here on Today on the topic of “Little Birmingham” in Pakistan and the killing of two British couple over an “arranged marriage”. Humphyrs is outraged at the killing but openly expresses approval \at the idea of at least some arranged marriages. Labour MP Khalid Mahmoud is on hand to sanitise the entire arranged marriage issue. Why can the BBC not ask why it is that Islam practises such … Continue reading
Should we talk to the Taliban? How about Al Queda? How about any terrorist group anywhere? The BBC was kind enough to provide arch-appeaser Jonathan Powell the prime 8.10am platform this morning. Powell is clear enough – YES, let’s talk to terrorists and see if we can find out things we can “give them” in exchange for them easing off onthe killing. If you listen to the interview, Powell vapidly … Continue reading
BBC reporter Richard Stott purred with delight when the Cleggerons confirmed that they were going to chuck bucketloads of our money into electric car subsidies, despite the recession. No stone was left unturned in his report in telling us that production is both necessary and what consumers want. Today’s report from Spain about the reality of the virtually non-existent demand for these useless, expensive, greenie toys – just 16 have … Continue reading
BBC has moved into hysterical mode concerning the alleged scale of the cuts to come across Government. Ten O’Clock News come into meltdown with apocalyptic visions of courts closing, meltdown all round. This is the beginning of the next election campaign and the comrades at the Beeb are out to help the Trade Unions by echoing the hyperbole and whipping up hysteria. Also, I knew the BBC would be unhappy … Continue reading
Several websites, including B-BBC (open thread H/T Piggy Kosher) have mentioned the case of “The popular Tunisian singer Saleem Bakkoush” who has been forced to cancel what seems to have been a cherished long-awaited performance at a prestigious festival, all because his fellow Tunisians discovered he had once performed at a synagogue. Which is enough to render him persona non grata in Tunisia.He’s not alone. Pity the poor Tunisian singer … Continue reading
