      Here I am again, continuing the look at the BBC’s internal plumbing and checking out the close ties between some very influential people.  Professor Laurie Taylor is the link to this second post….though he comes later in the piece…first I’ll start with the BBC struggling to create some interesting programmes. A summary of the links: iCreate…Patrick Younge…Gary Younge….the RSA….Matthew Taylor…Laurie Taylor……Marxism…the BBC…poverty…Open University.…The IPPR…The Labour Party….and finally James … Continue reading

We’re H.A.P.P.Y…We Know We Are, We’re Sure We Are….Oh No! We’re Miserable and Poverty Stricken…Damn! Vote Labour!

            The BBC is keeping itself busy, time waits for no man but if you can rewrite history it doesn’t really matter does it? The BBC last night had another go at polishing the turd that was Degsy Hatton, expelled from the Labour Party for belonging to the ‘Revolutionary Socialist League’…or Militant Tendency as it had renamed itself….also known as ‘’The Loony Left’…with some justification. … Continue reading

The New Beardy Weirdys

           The BBC has become the new priesthood according to Ed West.   Here Ed West, the deputy editor of the Catholic Herald and commentator in the Telegraph, tell us he believes the BBC is biased against the Church and why the power of the BBC is damaging to Society (via Is the BBC biased? ) I love the BBC, I grew up with it. I love … Continue reading

I Say I Say Isaiah

    The BBC is once again attacking, undermining Christian beliefs and teachings.

In ‘The Prophets’ on R4 it has examined five prophets. Here I look at one programme which examines ‘Isaiah’ who is a major prophet upon whose prophecies rests the basis … Continue reading

All The Money, All The Power

  Some links that provide an interesting perspective on the BBC: Thanks to George R for this link: Why does the BBC sneer about Britain’s recovery but go crazy if Euroland’s corpse so much as twitches?   This from the Telegraph illustrates the lack of knowledge about student loans….something that the BBC has done little to dispel…..its journalists often encouraging the idea that the loans are a massive weight around … Continue reading

Peston Power

    It’s a curious feature of the BBC that independent thought, creative, original, idiosyncratic reasoning and analysis is often crushed under the weight of the organisation with its overwhelming employment of people who think the same thoughts and cleave to the same values. Those of an independent frame of mind soon find it wise to keep their consensus breaking thoughts to themselves or find themselves marked out as a … Continue reading

The ‘Green Shoots’ Are Just ‘Weeds’ Says BBC

      The BBC tells us that: ‘What appears to be the beginnings of good news on the economy is good news for the coalition too, and so tricky for Labour.’   Never mind the BBC can help you out in those ‘tricky moments’, that’s what it’s here for, serving the Public good.   The BBC are sceptical about the green shoots of economic recovery….employment is up but they … Continue reading
