LAST NIGHT A HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER SAVED MY LIFE

Laughable set up discussion on Sunday Morning Live with gorgeous pouting Suzanne Reid. The first topic was the  Human Rights Act and Cameron’s idea we need a British Human Rights Act. We had a feminazi Human Rights advocate on, some guy who kept insisting he was not “right wing” and also “not a tabloid reader” and John Gaunt. Some lady with a serious illness phoned in to say that the … Continue reading

OPEN THREAD

Never mind Celebrity Big Brother, with the BBC operating 24/7 across the globe, we have a much more dangerous broadcasting big brother to worry about. Please detail your observations here as I declare this thread…OPEN! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

LANGUAGE

A B-BBC contributor notes; “One might remember all the fake outrage concerning David Starkey’s comments concerning language, appearance and employability? Oh what a fuss that stirred up. I wonder if this piece from ‘Today’ will be as controversial when it says essentially the same thing….adapt your language, appearance and attitude to the circumstances if you want to get on in life…..remarkably, or not, not a mention of Starkey on the programme….” … Continue reading

WATCHING THE DETECTIVES

A quite remarkable tale of BBC and Guardian duplicity uncovered by Autonomous Mind.  To set the scene; “It has felt like ploughing a lonely furrow, using this blog and Twitter to try to make people sit up and question how the Guardian was getting informationa bout the Met Police’s investigation into ‘phone hacking’ and getting unreleased details of arrests.”   But now…. “Sky News is reporting that a 51-year-old detective … Continue reading

Moral Panics? At The BBC It’s What We Do…..

Obviously over the last few days the great and the good at the BBC have become rather unsettled as control over the urban mob violence and looting narrative began slipping through their fingers. Shocked by the tsunami of contempt that hit them when they tried to frame the discussion in terms of “protestors”, poverty and/or race the Beeboids and their allies in the left wing media/academic cultural elite have been … Continue reading

EILAT ATTACK

I always enjoy listening to Israeli spokesman Mark Regev and he was on Today this morning. Following the deplorable attack at Eilat, I was pleased to hear Regev make several references to the terrorists from Hamastan who had carried this out. That must have given the BBC apoplexy! Jeremy Al Bowen was also on this segment to give his sage analysis – give it a listen! Click through to read … Continue reading

COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS

It’s interesting to consider how the BBC frames a debate and how in doing so it carefully ensures the required conclusion. Iain Duncan Smith suggests (rightly, in my opinion!) that those thugs involved in looting, rioting and rampaging through our streets could lose their benefits if convicted of their crimes. Cue BBC outrage. So, David Blunkett and Peter Lilley are wheeled on to discuss this. Superficially you might  think this … Continue reading

HALF THE STORY, ALL THE TIME

Oh no, I turn my back and what happens? “Israel pounds Gaza after attacks”. Those pesky Jews once again up to their old tricks. Happily the BBC is there to record that…. The Israeli military has carried out air strikes over the Gaza Strip, targeting those it blamed for a series of deadly attacks in southern Israel. At least six people, including a senior militant, were killed in the air strikes, … Continue reading
