OPEN BORDERS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH!

Rejoice – immigration is driving our economic growth. Or so it is alleged in this report on the ever reliable BBC. “Immigrants from eastern Europe have added almost £5bn to Britain’s economy since 2004, according to a new report. The National Institute for Economic and Social Research says 700,000 people moved to the UK after their former communist homelands joined the EU. It believes they drove up British GDP by 0.38% in … Continue reading

HOLIDAY TOSH…

Strident eco-camapigner Sarah Mukherjee may have left the BBC, but Richard Black is carrying on her propaganda work, even over the holiday weekend. Here’s his latest offering – a largely uncritical re-cycling of a paper paid for by taxpayers’ money – that purports to show that 250 people living in the Himlayas somehow know the truth about global warming. I was taught years ago – during my training as a … Continue reading

Deliberately So

I wish somebody else had written this because it’s about the usual, and believe me, I don’t want to be repetitive. But needs must. Anyone who heard R4’s Saturday Live this morning will know what I mean. The studio guest was ‘comedian’ Mark Thomas who has walked the length of the separation barrier in Israel /Palestine. Saturday Live’s genial host, exceedingly left wing Reverend Richard Coles, was all ears. Not … Continue reading

BBC GREEN CREED SERMON…

Bishop Hill has unearthed this gem, a presentation to the Cambridge Science and Policy Group by Sarah Mukherjee, the BBC’s former environment correspondent, who in her time at the corporation filed hundreds of alarmist, hell-in-a-handcart reports. Admittedly the delivery was some time ago, but her lecture is a major statement of the BBC’s green creed, and an insight into the madcap and deeply biased thought processes that are involved. It … Continue reading

ROYAL WEDDING "A LEGITIMATE TARGET"

A biased BBC reader notes; “Yep…just checked the BBC web site and there is no mention of the Muslim radical group ‘Muslims Against Crusades’ whom the BBC gave a platform to yesterday enabling them to promote their credibility on news reports throughout the day. No mention of the fact that they state that the Royal wedding is a legitimate terrorist target….BBC just states that the group says they have no … Continue reading

THAT ROYAL WEDDING

The BBC must really hate our constitutional Monarchy and so whilst they cover the pending Royal Wedding – you know deep down they despise our Royal family. So, when they are not sneering about the Syrian ambassador getting an invite, they are desperately trying to get former Australian PM Kevin Rudd to say something very negative about the Monarchy. Good to see he did not rise to their obvious bait … Continue reading

THOSE EVIL CONSERVATIVES – A CONTINUING SERIES

Ah, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and Polly Toynbee is on the BBC telling us how wonderful the Labour years were and how awful those nasty vicious Conservatives are creating so much..ahem.. “child poverty” ! This struck me as a wonderfully unbalanced item but to the BBC it is all light and reason. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Tangled Webb

Reverend Nadim Nassar, a Syrian-born Anglican priest living in Britain, keeps in touch with contacts in Syria. He also listens to various media reports of the crisis. In an interesting interview on Today with Justin Webb he remarked on how extreme the differences are between what he’s hearing on Arabic stations, Al Jazeera etc. etc. – and the BBC. I would have liked to hear exactly what he meant, but … Continue reading

Suicide by Political Correctness

What a fascinating turn of events. WikiLeaks has revealed that the government was so determined to uphold our reputation as a safe haven for the world’s oppressed that it repeatedly ignored warnings about radical Islamic extremists and refused to admit that harbouring them was not the simple humanitarian gesture they believed it to be. Now that they’ve managed to turn British cities into Al Qaeda hubs, it’s a bit late … Continue reading
