Did you see the prominence the BBC has given to the thoughts ofComrade Brendan Barber on the UK economy today? Brendan reckons that "the finance and banking sectors" have caused the recession (Has he not read Gordon's script? It all started in America, remember?) but that 2009 represents a chance for government to create a "new" and "more fair" economy. Yes, just like Cuba, I'm guessing. (BTW - the BBCcelebrates 50 years of Castro tonight if you feel strong enough to tune in!) Brendan then shows his economic perspicuity by demanding more welfare benefits for the unemployed even though I note he does not specify where the money for this is coming from and naturally, the BBC merely acts as his PR agency. Since the Trade Unions have so little relevance to the wealth-creating sector of the UK economy, why is Barber given such a soap-box?

AND LO, A CHILD IS BORN.I was reading this BBC report on the birth of a baby son to Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol. So far so good, until I get to the line that says "the father is apprentice electrician Levi Johnston, who has been dating Miss Palin for three years and is reportedly keen to take their child hunting."Now then, is it just me or is this another gratuitous dig at those moose-hunting Alaskan unsophisticates ? Why could the BBC not just report the birth without having to oh-so-subtly snipe at the Palins? Sniggering up their sleeves is about as close to objective reporting as this lot get.

BBC ATROCITIESAnother day and the continued BBC onslaught against Israel shows no sign of abating. During this morning's Cormac Murphy O'Connor produced programme (Featuring Thought for the day by Jerome Murphy O'Connor - keep it in the family, eh?) there was a truly wretched item just after the 8am news which started with the UN special rapporteur, and noted anti-Israeli activist Richard Falk whinging on about the "daily atrocities" that Israel is committing. This set up things for Jeremy Al Bowen who rose to the challenge once again asserting that he believed Israel's military strategy could not succeed as well as being politically non-sustainable. Next we segued into Richard Haas, the current president of the US Council on Foreign Relations. Haas gave a modest defence of Israel, though he is a keen advocate of the "Two State Solution" and shills for the PA. Since when did holocaust denier Mahmoud Abbas come to represent moderation? He also suggested that the current Middle East situation could take a few lessons from Northern Ireland where the IRA were told they could not bomb and shoot their way into government. (This somewhat surprised me since I have lived through three decades of IRA bombing and shooting and now they are in government! Go figure.) The BBC has moved into full-on support for Hamas and I will be damned if this is not documented here on a daily basis. Israel fights to defend it's people from Hamas Islamic savagery, the BBC seeks to undermine this at every junction.What is it that drives such vicious anti-Israel feeling at the BBC?
