The BBC hate the royal family and all that it stands for. Except, of course, when it’s Prince Charles on one of his many loony green missions. Then they choose a very nice smiley picture of him and drone on about greenie nonsense such as that the royal train is running on “sustainable biofuel” and that he’s encouraging that the people of Wales to help the rainforests. Then they become … Continue reading

With apologies to the late Minne Ripperton! The Boiling Frog spotted an excellent example of the BBC eulogising the wonders of the EU here. Prominent on BBC News earlier today was a report that Dutch airline KLM is refusing to pay out compensation to its passengers delayed by the volcanic ash cloud earlier this year. And throughout the report the BBC just couldn’t stop mentioning the EU. It was liberally sprinkled with … Continue reading
The BBC’s coverage of the Gulf oil spill continually shadowed the line taken by Obama, namely that this was the worst ecological disaster ever to hit the region and that the shorelines would take generations to recover. So, when the hated BP managed to successfully cap the Oil spill, and then it emerged that the imagined environmental holocaust had, erm, mostly vanished, what to do for the intrepid BBC? Answer … Continue reading
At the weekend, Irish Republican terrorists tried to kill police officers in the nearby town of Lurgan. On “Today”, this morning, (7.32 no link yet) the BBC covered the issue. Naturally there was no one from the majority Unionist community on to express an opinion. Instead we had a Police Chief Inspector and Margaret Ritchie – the staccato-speaking Dalek sound-a-like leader of the nationalist SDLP. The Inspector gave a pretty … Continue reading
Just off air! Did you see my fleeting appearance on Sunday Live? I had to laugh at the composition of the panel in the studio – two Muslims and Bruce Anderson. Then up pops Moazzem Begg, Gitmo poster boy par excellence to tell us how AWFUL those evil Americans are in how they treated 15 yr old Omar. (No mention of Sgt Speers murdered by this piece of vermin and … Continue reading
Just to remind you that myself and my Biased BBC colleague Hippiepooter will be live via videolink on the BBC1 Sunday Morning Live programme starting at 10am (I think). They want to talk about “torture” and whether it is ever justified? I want to talk about how the media is the Jihadists greatest asset. We shall see how we get on. The allegation of “torture” from captured Islamic Jihadists is simply … Continue reading
I don’t mean to be disrespectful to Scotland but I notice the BBC states as a matter of fact that “The Edinburgh International Festival is a pinnacle of global culture.” Is this true? Really? BBC then goes on to point out that this “pinnacle of global culture” may be under threat because of the evil Coalition cuts. Say it ain’t so and only put one point of view. Click through … Continue reading
BBC praising for his cringing endorsement of the Mosque close to Ground Zero. I’m hearing rumours it will be called the “Atta Centre for Peace and Reconciliation”…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Anyone catch the FAWNING interview with Alistair Darling on Today this morning 8.30am (no link yet, they are sooo slow) It appears that Darling was in fact an economic guru and he saved us from the worst of the recession which, of course, started in America. The BBC are revising history to make us think that the Darling years were the golden years and now the wicked Coalition is undoing … Continue reading
