It’s so odd. Laura Trevelyn was back on the BBC this morning shrilling that BP might  need to open up the underwater Oil well that they have just managed to successfully plug. Like the Obama regime, our Laura seems determined to keep the boot to the throat of BP so even when they do some good, they are bad. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

PORRIDGE

I usually start the day with a warming bowl of porridge but the BBC tends to start the day worrying about those tender souls doing Porridge! Yet  ANOTHER story given prominence this morning by the BBC advocating the idea that we must stop sending people to prison. This is a recurrent theme and it is being pushed remorselessly. The BBC seems unable or unwilling to make the connection that the … Continue reading →

In Michael Gove, the BBC have a new hate figure to fixate upon. I notice the BBC “comedians” now have a go at him but that was as nothing compared to the not so fragrant Sarah Montague at 8.10am this morning on Today. (No link up yet). She was bristling with hostility towards “Mr Gove” and I thought he did rather well even though she continually cut across him and … Continue reading →

I’ve been watching Baroness Ashton being chaperoned around Gaza by John Ging. He has been showing her the wonderful schools run by UNWRA, which teach children wonderful things not about hatred, and Baroness Ashton has been a good baroness and hasn’t talked to Hamas.Something about what I said the other day makes me suspect someone’s being economical with the actuality. Could these UNWRA schools be not quite what they seem?“there … Continue reading →

Ed Stourton asked for our views on the burqa. I didn’t know he cared, but now I do, here’s mine.I hate the burqa because it tells me that the wearer hates me. On the other hand, it’s hilarious. I’m against banning it because using the law as a sticking plaster to cover a self-inflicted wound is too little too late. Anyway, banning the burqa would give them yet another thing … Continue reading →

Just another lively night in Grenoble according to the Beeb website….an armed gang robbed the local casino, police chased them, one of the robbers fired back and wounded an officer. The French police, instead of assembling a team of negotiators and counsellors, shot him dead. Parts of the city then erupted in riots as “protestors” demonstrated against police brutality. At first sight his sounds a little strange – is Grenoble … Continue reading →

The BBC ran another story on this earlier today investigating British “collusion” on “torture”  Here’s a story the BBC seems unaware of, wonder why?

Is it just me or is Laura Trevelyan not that happy about the news that BP seem to have a degree of success ij capping the spilling oil well in the Gulf? Throughout this period, the BBC seems to have aligned itself with Obama as he takes shots at BP – leading to the survival of the company itself being brought into question. What is it about British Petroleum the … Continue reading →

Lost in Translation

In days of yore the BBC acquired a reputation for excellence. The world switched off their local news organs, suspicious they were being fed propaganda. They turned instead unto the BBC and they saw that it was good.Fastforward and into reverse. It has been said that Al Jazeera is now more impartial than the BBC. The lag between the BBC itself realising this and the media savvy public doing so … Continue reading →
