And so the week draws to an end on Today and what better way to conclude things by providing Lord Patten with a soapbox from which he can advance his endless attacks on Israel – this time without any pesky dissenting voices…via technical breakdown, natch. His Lordship has been off to Gaza again to see his pals there and naturally is back to ensure Israel gets the blame for the … Continue reading
Richard Black, in his weekly BBC propaganda column, disgracefully suggests that those who won’t swallow climate change lies are linked to the white supremacists Stormfront. He argues that those who have advocated massive global warming taxes such as Stephen Schneider – who died this week – have been subjected to unwarranted abuse and are working under a constant barrage of nasty threats from sceptics. He doesn’t spell it out, but … Continue reading
Question Time tonight comes from Hartlepool; famous for hanging a monkey for being French, providing a guitarist for Iron Maiden and having an unwanted terrace house once owned by Peter Mandelson. On the panel we have Immigration Minister Damian Green MP, Sadiq Khan MP (Lab, Tootingstan), Nigel Farage MEP, Bob Crow (self described Communist; salary £105,679) and Ruth Lea. For those playing the Buzzword Bingo, we will be using the Either Banned Or Compulsory … Continue reading
I cheered today when the government announced that it was closing the useless and highly wasteful quango, John Prescott’s Orwellian-sounding Sustainable Development Commission. I hissed when I read that burqa-loving Caroline Spellman, the Cleggeron environment secretary, said that the government remained as green as ever in its aims, and clearly believes that the Commission’s work will continue through Defra. To the BBC, of course, it’s an unmitigated disaster. Their environment … Continue reading
Private Eye – always a useful source of behind the scenes chatter about the BBC – has an interesting little titbit in the current issue about Democracy Live, the BBC’s answer to TheyWorkForYou.com. For the last few years TWFY has become the place to visit for information about MPs and members of the House of Lords. This has not always been popular with our parliamentary representatives because it also reveals … Continue reading
The greenies at the BBC hate coal as a central tenet of their religion. Despite the fact that it was the bedrock of the industrial revolution, despite the fact that it brought – and continues to bring – heat and light and comfort to billions round the world, it’s a nasty, noxious substance, because when it burns, it emits that “poison”, CO2. The leader of those trying to stop its … Continue reading
Checking the BBC website today, it’s clear that there’s a relentless, systematic torrent of climate change propaganda, without a breath of a dissenting voice. Yet all of the measures described are gobbling vast amounts of our cash, most of which is being poured down the drain. Richard Black fawningly reports Tim Yeo’s suicidal call from his parliamentary select committee to “de-carbonise” the UK economy, and introduce obscene new taxes on … Continue reading
Did you hear the simpering interview with BBC poster boy Alex Salmond at 8.10am this morning. With the BBC doing all it can to somehow blame David Cameron for the decision taken by Salmond/ Brown to realease the convicted mass murderer Al Megrahi – the Lockerbie bomber? I contrast the tone used in this interview with the vile Salmond – passive and largely agreeable – to the hectoring of Michael … Continue reading
It’s always a good day at the BBC if they can a/ Have a go at a Conservative and b/Twist what he says. So it was this morning on the Balls Broadcasting Corporation when Frances Maude was then target. Maude has pointed out how some family gangster dynasties cost the taxpayer ££millions. First off, the basis for Maude’s comments was attacked and then a Labour politicians was invited on to … Continue reading
The right to own one’s own property is a mark of a democratic country and was one of the great achievements of Lady Thatcher when she was in power. Now, the Welsh Assembly seeks to ban the sale of Council houses in certain areas. Nothing strange there – what else one would expect from a left-wing institution? However what surprised me was that the BBC angle on this was “Is … Continue reading
