LOVING HAMASTAN..

The bias lies in the very first sentence.

"UN development projects in Gaza are being stalled by Israel's blockade of the region."
As we all know, the BBC has such a loathing of Israel that it always spins in favour of Hamastan and of course when the UN is involved, it's a double-header of rancid bias. Wonder why the BBC couldn't run the same item as follows,
"UN development projects in Gaza are being stalled by Hamas terror threats against Israel"

GET ORF MY LAND...

I know that Biased BBC has quite a few readers involved in farming. A very noble but challenging activity but not one the BBC has much sympathy for - unless, of course, it is about environmentalism rather than producing food! Listened to an item this morning on Today @ 7.16am which was all about the link-up between farmers and environmentalists, aimed at squeezing more cash from Brussels in exchange for farmers...erm, not farming. Through the BBC prism, one could be forgiven for thinking that our farmers are some sort of legion of tractorised eco-warriors!

FRAMING THE NARRATIVE...

Oh god - for the past two days now, Gordon Brown has been residing in the castle of a village near to where I live. He has landed here in Northern Ireland to "help" the local political parties "save" the "power=sharing" Assembly. Good old Gordon - such a nice man.


The BBC narrative on what is happening here is framed in almost childish terms.

They would have you believe that the good and brave Gordon Brown (along with his Irish counterpart in unpopularity, the charming Mr Brian "BIFFO" Cowan) have come here to see if they can give encouragement to the local Northern Ireland parties as they seek to do "the deal" that will "save" all the good things that have been achieved here. The nation waits for white smoke to emerge from Hillsborough Castle.

OK - now back on planet earth and away from the spin of the BBC.

Brown and Cowan have come here to pressurise the spineless and now openly corrupted DUP into agreeing a date for devolving Policing and Justice powers into an administration that is inherently dysfunctional and which contains murderers, bombers, gunmen and bankrobbers. This is presented as "the last piece" of the devolution justice - in fact it is the last chance to save democracy by preventing the very thing that Brown and co are here to urge on.

Now I appreciate that the view I have expressed is just one view - but it is one that the BBC seems oddly reluctant to air. Why?

STARTING THE DAY THE SOCIALIST WAY...

Start the day the socialist way! All morning BBC Today has been droning on about the alleged "fact" that "inequality" between the richest and the poorest has been getting greater in the UK. BBC keen to explain on several occasions how this gap INCREASED during the years of evil Conservative government but even under the more enlightened rule of Labour, it has still grown, Isn't it just awful and how delightful for the BBC to be able to find only those commentators who take the whimsies of the National Equality Panel seriously. Just imagine had they gone to speak to someone who disputes the basis of this risible study and the ludicrous conclusions it draws? Still, that's never going to happen. I am disappointed Today did not hail the achievements of the Dear leader on this issue since thanks to his staggering mismanagement of the economy we are all poorer. Equality of outcome??
