THAT DUBAI KILLING...

>> TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2010

Did you catch Jeremy Al Bowen on Today this morning discussing the killing of senior Hamas terrorist
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh by unknown people in a Dubai hotel?  Jeremy was quick off the mark to label this as Mossad killing but at no point did he, or indeed anyone else on the BBC, discuss the precise role this piece of Hamas filth played in the killing of innocent Israelis, nor for that matter did they enquire as to what he was doing in Dubai. Israel was in the frame and that is all that matters. Hamas are the victims here, nothing to see..move along.

RAY GOSLING - BBC HERO

I see that BBC presenter Ray Gosling has been talking about how he smotheredhis gay lover who was dying from Aids. The BBC is enthusiastic about supporting "mercy killings" and this story is simply an extension of this narrative. I do not doubt the pain Mr Gosling and his lover went through but in the final analysis, smothering another human to death is a crime and it is a disgrace that the BBC chooses to portray this in the most sympathetic manner possible. What is your view?

OPEN THREAD...

New week, new open thread. The floors is yours...

ALL IN THE PAIN

BBC seems disturbed that those who work in the State sector may have toshare in the pain of the recession which at this point has almost exclusively been experienced by private enterprise. Whilst no one wishes any person to lose their job the harsh economic reality is that the State sector has grown fat and bloated under Labour and cannot be economically sustained. (Rather like the BBC in fact) So whilst the BBC ponders how it can be that even as the Public sector faces cutbacks, the private sector contemplates modest job increases, it ignores the obvious answer; namely that the Private sector has already contracted and made adjustments. The days of the vast Gordon Brown created state monolith are over. The days of the BBC as a vast state monolith deserve to be over.

MANDELA WORSHIP...AN ONGOING SERIES

This was spotted by an eagle-eyed B-BBC reader, another shameless plug from the BBC for Nelson Mandela worshippers. It would be nice to see less politics injected into Sport.
