Bono is very busy; hassling world leaders, campaigning, singing in an American accent. “You may not know much about it, but I bet you RECKON something” (David Mitchell) Celebrity opinions are just like any other opinions, but more passionate.

Give it a listen here, it's at the very beginning. Comments: 14 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # NATIONALISATION. Great to see Justin Webb back in good form after all the excitement of his campaigning for Obama to become President! This morning he was suggestingthat even Republicans have come around to accepting the idea of the Government nationalising the banks. In fairness though, he added that Obama was having to be careful about how he phrased this since for some pesky reason Americans consider nationalisation as socialisation! It looks like American politicians all accept the importance of the State owning the Banks, certainly if you look through Justin's left wing prism. Naturally reality is very different to this but Justin is here to help us all accept the growth of the State and he did not disappoint!

I know I blogged this last night but I listened to the BBC coverage of the return of Ethiopian illegal immigrant Binyam Mohamed on Today this morning and it was so one-sided as to be about as credible as Binyam's daring tales of wandering through the tribal areas of Afghanistan/Pakistan to deal with his "drug issues." The narrative being followed remorselessly by the BBC is "was he tortured"? They appear disinterested in the fact that the US authorities consider him a very dangerous Jihadist who was involved in planning terror attacks. If this is true, I would hope that he was robustly interrogated and the pity is he was even taken prisoner in the first instance - but then again we love life like they love death. I appreciate that some bleeding hearts resile from the notion that we must treat murdering terrorists for what they are in order to try and save innocent lives but why must concede this point? You have to hand it to Al Queda - when they instructed their operatives to whine "torture" if captured on the basis this would win over the gullible and dhimmified msm, they called it exactly right. I KNOW that many other parts of the liberal media are also hailing brave Binyam but of course the big difference is that you and I are forced to fund the BBC to do so and this that makes it so much worse.

Have you been joining in the BBC celebrations as Gitmo Jihadist Binyam Mohamed touches back down on home soil? Not HIS home soil, of course, after allEthiopia is a lot further to travel, but you get the general idea. I was listening to Peter Allen discussing this on Radio Five this evening and was amazed at his insistence that Binyam (as his lawyer would insist) was an innocent abroad and - get this - his travelling to Afghanistan to seek help for his ..ahem..."drug issues" was perhaps quite innocent given that the Taliban were in charge back then and would have frowned upon any drug taking. Do you think Peter might be missing a few points re the Taliban? It's quite stunning how each time Gitmo spews forth one of these pseudo Brits like Binyam and Moazzem the BBC turns them into cause celebres. I bet the Jihadi can't believe their luck when the left wing dhimmified media, best exemplified by Al Beeb, roll out the red carpet for them. Comments: 56 (unread) - Biased BBC Home
