WTF

  Paul Mason, soon to have his steel toecapped suede booties under a Channel 4 desk, seems to have cast off the shackles of BBC groupthink and ventured out into the world of thinking for himself…..well, tentatively: The economic recovery may be patchy, but the left is wrong to ignore it It’s not the same across the country, but there are signs of growth. The challenge for Labour is how … Continue reading

The Wind Farm Wind Up

  You may have noticed on your travels that any wind turbines that you come across have a rather unusual operational approach.   On windy days they can be seen to be completely motionless, whilst on almost windless days they are ticking round quite nicely. I often thought that some clever chap who works for one of the turbine producers has come up with a cunning plan…..when there’s no wind … Continue reading

More Money, That’s the Answer to Everything

    Andrew Marr hasn’t changed…he’s still Red Andy and pushing the Left’s agenda…this time a few thoughts from the IPPR, left leaning think tank: Who runs Britain? An Army of unregarded, unpaid carers. Now it’s time we cared for them says Andrew Marr and his wife who nursed him after stroke  As a report today from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) points out, thousands of women in … Continue reading

Poor Opportunities

  BBC officer class enrages people, chief admits  Executive salaries at the BBC have created an “officer class” which is causing “resentment and anger” among lower-paid workers, Lord Hall, the director-general of the corporation, has admitted.   Liz MacKean, a former BBC Newsnight journalist, said: “The whole issue about severance payments gets to the heart of something that has gone badly wrong with the BBC over the last decade and … Continue reading

Berry’s Not So Smart Circus…..Flogging A Lie

      The BBC’s latest review of its lack of impartiality from earlier in the year has resurfaced as one of its authors, Mike Berry,  pushes the lie, lovingly created and honed by him and those ex BBC employees now ensconced at Cardiff University who manufactured this ‘report’,  that the BBC is actually biased towards the Right. The BBC say it went to Cardiff University but you might conclude that it took a wrong … Continue reading

Biased Editorial Double Standards: US Ideological Violence Edition

Two people from Nevada appeared in court yesterday on charges of plotting to abduct and murder policemen. They are members of the fringe group Sovereign Citizens, a movement of people who have an extreme, quasi-anarchic (in the old school sense), anti-government view. Apparently they were busted after an undercover operation exposed their plans. Nothing new or unusual, really, except that it’s a case of two extremist white people getting arrested … Continue reading

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD…

Because these fill up with hundreds of comments every day! I tuned in to the BBC Radio 4 at 6.30am this morning. They DO seem so sympathetic to “the opposition” in Syria and Morsi’s supporters in Egypt, don’t they? Muslim Brotherhood propaganda is breathlessly repeated and how often are we informed that Morsi was “democratically elected”? The situation in Syria is certainly complex but the BBC seems to have aligned … Continue reading

Babes In Arms

  LOLOL Leftwing BBC type in melt down. Tessa Dunlop on Today programme this morning (08:50) Talking about a book published by Civitas which puts the case for families having more than one child…as it can be beneficial for siblings, they claim. Dunlop, who has only one child herself, has other ideas saying:  ‘The world’s population is exploding….People are always coming up to me and saying when will you have another … Continue reading

I DO WANT TO GO TO CHELSEA…

The BBC can still surprise me. I was driving home from work and had the PM programme on. It covered the rather bizarre story that Bradley Manning has issued a statement saying that “he” is now a she and wants to be called Chelsea henceforth. What amazed me was that Eddie Mairs instantly started calling this man a she … and called her Chelsea. Is this how it works then? … Continue reading
