THOSE INVISIBLE WILDERS GAINS..
>> THURSDAY, MARCH 04, 2010
Must have been some sort of oversight but the BBC seems oddly subdued about the fantastic gains Geert Wilders has made in the local elections in the Netherlands. One might have thought this merited some prime time discussion ahead of weighty topics such as "political protest songs" but apparently not. Ah well - the BBC has tough editorial decisions to make all the time.....
HAIL TO THE CHIEF
BBC world affairs correspondent Peter Biles says Mr Zuma - a polygamist who has married at least five times - is renowned for his charm.So, here is the "charming" Zuma sharing some of his thoughts on Blighty in the Indie....
"I am very clear on these issues," he said. "I've not looked down upon any culture of anyone, and no one has been given an authority to judge others. The British have done that before, as they colonised us, and they continue to do this, and it's an unfortunate thing."The BBC seemed curiously reticent to explore Zuma's political personality in any depth, but perhaps like Peter Biles they were just simply charmed off their feet?
THE FALLUJAH HORROR
I see the BBC has opened up a new front in Iraq by claiming that those bad Americans are responsible for a rise in the number of birth defects amongst the children born in Fallujah. Yes, John Simpson has been spearheading this investigation and we all know John is a very unbiased kind of guy. This is a great story that the BBC has created since it will then disseminate these unfounded allegations until they become presented as being fact. I look forward to future questions of Question Time when learned members of the audience shout out "What about the Fallujah deformities." The BBC - always keen to attack US Armed forces.
ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE
I'm just hoping that the BBC will afford Lady Thatcher the same warmth of tribute as that afforded to Michael Foot, who, as you know, has passed away aged 96. Today has been running a series of tributes to him this morning and whilst I fully understand that it is civilised to not speak ill of the dead, I look forward to the same standard being applied to the former Conservative leader when that sad moment arrives. That would be fair, wouldn't it?
