With the electorate having engendered the wrath of the BBC for daring to throw out Labour. it’s only natural that every story be taken and given a twist that puts the knife into the evil Coalition. And so it is that on an item on an exhibition of life in the Victorian workhouses, there is the suggestion that “in a way” this is what the Coalition is proposing bringing back. … Continue reading
Wonder if you listened to this interview on the BBC this morning? It’s one more of those which in essence is gay advocacy dressed up as anti-discrimination. It concerns the news that the Roman Catholic Church has lost it’s campaign to restrict adoption services to heterosexual people. Naturally the BBC sees this as a judicious move, ensuring that gay couples are not denied that right to adopt kids. (Not sure … Continue reading
Anyone else catch THIS disgraceful commentary by Hugh Sykes on the news that the last US combat brigade has left Iraq. Note the sneering contemptuous tone he adopts, note how he mocks the US soldier that dares to suggest they won (Where’s Saddam today, Hugh) and note the clear suggestion that it was all a waste of time – in line with the BBC narrative even before we liberated that … Continue reading
It could be that the tide is turning in the BBC/Israel conflict.But one swallow doesn’t a summer make or whatever jumbled up sentence means ‘don’t think one tiddly Panorama signifies light at the end of the tunnel’. If the BBC was really the pro-Israel outfit that the Israel-haters say it is, they’d hardly approach the subject in the way they’ve consistently done to date.We don’t know whether it’s ignorance or … Continue reading

I am far from being a fan of the Coalition government (being way too blue in tooth and claw, so to speak) but you have to give credit where it is due and so the fact that it has hung together for a 100 days and tackled some big issues is commendable. But, obviously, the BBC is not going to happy about any of this. It wanted a coalition but … Continue reading
Anyone catch Mark Mardell’s take on Obama’s latest u-turn on the building of a Mosque at Ground Zero? Note how Mardell lashes “the right” whilst claiming that Obama is “middle of the road”. Also, for good measure, Mardell conjures up images of Islamphobia to make us feel sorry for America’s beseiged Muslims. Is Marky getting a little upset that “The One” is looking more and more like a one term … Continue reading
Little bit of Obama-love here from Michael Voss which happily also lavishes attention on Castro’s Cuba. No mention of the gross violations of human rights which passes for everyday life in this Communist hell-hole. But hey, never mind that, let’s dance… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I knew that this was one story the BBC would just love. I refer, of course, to the lunatic call from Sir Ian Gilmore for drug use to be de-criminalised. Happily, Dominic Casciani is at hand to explain the difference between decriminalising and legalisation of illegal drugs. The BBC memo is that we cannot win the war on drugs so best divert all that cash to helping drug addicts. Yip … Continue reading
Been away for the past few days and have been mercifully spared BBC coverage. But just back to see the BBC once again pimping Alistair Darling as an economic genius. It seems that as we now live in year zero, Darling has been repackaged as the sensible voice of the economy there to keep that young whippersnapper George Osborne in his place. Meanwhile Derek Simpson was on the news to … Continue reading
