Well, you can be certain that any attempt by the Coalition to cut back on the rampant Welfarism that has disfigured the UK so under Labour is going to met by BBC resistance. Just after 8.10am on Today we had pro Labour Common Purpose loving Demos vs Chris Grayling, with the BBC as independent arbitrator! Demos were arguing for higher levels of benefit (with tougher conditionality, sure) and the BBC … Continue reading
Kevin Connolly had a wonderful piece of veiled Obama worship here at 7.49am. Poor Obama – all that spending and it still isn’t enough. Don’t think Irwin Stelzer’s suggestion that the US needs to take the path to austerity went down too well! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
BBC news coverage of the Pakistani floods is saturating (!) the airwaves but I think even the BBC interviewer was surprised during this interview with a Bradford lady Anjum Tahirkheli who has set up a charity that involves sending cash to Pakistan to buy food from Pakistan that then goes to beleaguered Pakistanis, The question was posed if the food was already available in Pakistan why did it need money … Continue reading
The brutal murder by Islamic thugs in Afghanistan of humanitarian workers will have disgusted all civilised people. The UK media has naturally focused on Dr Karen Woo who was tragically included amongst those executed by the Taliban. The Taliban alleged these workers had been slaughtered for the unspeakable crime of spreading Christianity. The BBC seem intent to register the fact that Dr Woo was not a Christian and, as they … Continue reading
Had to laugh at the BBC’s promotion of the idea that the “economic recovery” (?) of the last six months is being put in peril by the wicked plans of the Coalition that the State sector should live within it’s means. Yes, the good work of Labour is being undone by nasty Mr Cameron. Economic realities are never mentioned – the crunch issue for the BBC is that the Conservatives … Continue reading
Oh what a dream start to the new week for the BBC. They instantly move in to exploit Cameron’s slap down of the idea that subsidised milk for under 5’s could be scrapped. There was an item here on it and then how do they start the 8.10am prime time slot – by Mr Humphyrs intoning “Maggie Thatcher – Milk Snatcher, catchy slogan”. The “nasty party” inferences were present and correct … Continue reading

Biased-BBC were asked on a recent thread if we had any logos suitable for putting in a side-bar on your own blog to link back here. Via the marvellous delegation skills of our Gracious Host David (“Eye, can you sort something out?“) and the most excellent design skills of the GrumpyOldTwat here they are. You only have to copy the code into a blog widget for them to work, changing … Continue reading
In a previous post Sue highlighted Robert Spencer’s dealings with Kiera Feldman, the seemingly friendly “freelance” journalist who failed initially to mention that her enquiries regarding opposition to the Ground Zero mosque were in fact on behalf of the BBC. Spencer is right to be suspicious of Feldman’s intentions. She has also reported for Beyond The Pale, a programme which airs on the left-leaning Pacifica Radio Network: BEYOND THE PALE … Continue reading
It’s good to see a plug for this website elsewhere, so thanks to everyone who has mentioned B-BBC on JihadWatch, and Mel’s Blog, and anywhere else.It struck me how easily things can take off or go viral if they catch the imagination. I was thinking of the video of the alarming security breach at Montreal Trudeau International Airport that was filmed by ‘Mickfly’ and posted here. (The affronted reaction to … Continue reading
