Perhaps you may have read that the Adam Smith Institute has suggested that the BBC should wind up its licence fee and become a voluntary subscription-based service. I agree with that part but I would take issue with the view postulated by the Adam Smith Institute that the BBC is the UK’s strongest media asset. It is the UK’s most dangerous negative anti-British media liability and the idea that it … Continue reading
The BBC has been bigging up the funeral of Alex Higgins this morning, and has been trailering this for days now. Now I was sorry that Higgins had died young and throat cancer is a terrible thing, but one has to wonder why the BBC gives so much time to his funeral, turning it into another celeb event. The Dianafication of British culture continues apace and the State Broadcaster plays … Continue reading

“Impartiality? Not, say the Tories, with Labour figures heading the regulators” Peter Preston writing in today’s Observer “Paul Farrelly, the Labour MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme, had a Commons question for our new culture secretary last week. Would the rules governing impartial television news remain sacrosanct in coalition land? To which Jeremy Hunt could have said simply “Yes – I’ve no plans to change anything”. But in fact he went on for a … Continue reading
BBC interviews someone from the self-loathing “Anti-Zionist Network” during an item “Are we too critical of Israel?” who suggests that we are too soft on Israel during the Sunday Morning programme. Susanne Reid very opinionated, evidently hostile to the Israeli position, with liberal Jew Edwina Curry on to present soft-focus opinion, Douglas Murray did his best. The programme was recorded here in Northern Ireland and bang on cue came the BBC- … Continue reading
So Shimon Peres has noticed that the English are antisemitic and pander to Muslim votes. The Telegraph has chosen to whip up a controversy by heading an article: “Fury as Israel president claims English are ‘anti-semitic’ “ So who’s furious? “senior MPs and Jewish leaders who said the 87-year-old president had “got it wrong” So far it appears that these furious MPs consist of: “James Clappison, the Conservative MP for … Continue reading
Who would have figured? Former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has sparked fury by bidding for a top BBC job less than three months after her political career ended in disgrace. The ex-cabinet minister, who famously charged taxpayers for the cost of watching two pornographic films, is lobbying to become vice-chairman of the BBC Trust. The plum position pays £77,000 a year for a two-and-a-half-day week and also offers generous perks. … Continue reading

In a gushing, slobbering, sycophantic piece of Hello style candyfloss on the BBC website Katie Connolly goes all Sylvie Krin over the Clintons and their daughter’s wedding. Moreover, the Clintons are icons of a different, seemingly more youthful time in America’s history – a pre 9/11 era when the country wasn’t weighed down with wars, bulging deficits and billowing oil leaks. Chelsea is a reminder of that time, and people … Continue reading
