What better way to start the week on the BBC with another chance to discuss that hardy perrenial, should drugs be legalised? There's a discussion at 8.33am based on a new report from the left-wing Demos propaganda unit. The essence of the debate is a remarkably mad idea- namely that local Councils and trading standard officers determine what is legal and what is not! You'd have to be ON drugs to think this is a good idea but the BBC seem to be positively wild about it. I wonder why...sniff... Anyone catch Sheikh Jeremy al Bowen on Today this morning? With Palestinians exercising their right to return to violence at any available opportunity. Bowen was quick to declare this is all part of the "Arab Spring" and that the US would have to "do something" about Israel. The BBC's treatment of Israel is beyond deplorable and we have to wonder WHY it is that the State Broadcaster does everything possible to ensure that whatever the circumstance, Israel is always the aggressor and in the wrong. Is it because those nice little Middle Class Guardinistas that determine editorial policy have never shaken off their student years acquired hatred of Israel and now advance it instinctively? Is it because there is a dark shadow of anti-Semitism running through the State Broadcaster? I can tell you from personal experience that as one of the few local political commentators who is unapologetically pro-Israel (Yes, I do not hide my bias) I have found the BBC very hostile to me when invited on to discuss Israeli matters. I am surprised that the BBC presenters do not wear their keffiyehs as a badge of their rancid bias. I can remember vividly Britain's last major sustained power cuts back in the 1970s, the consequence of maniac Ted Heath's ham-fisted attempt to take on the all-powerful National Union of Mineworkers under the wily Joe Gormley. The three-day week created untold misery and inconvenience. Stumbling about by candlelight reinforced forever for me the benefits of modern technology. Today, our lunatic government seems totally determined to pursue "low carbon" policies that will bring about similar consequences, and nothing will stop them.Roger Harrabin, as usual - by one-sidedly supporting an attack on nuclear power - is aiding and abetting them in their zealous pursuit of high energy prices and the insane belief that renewables will meet our needs. He outlines his creed: It's one of Nicky Campbell's "Big Questions" this morning. On the panel to help us understand this is BBC favourite Salam Yaqoob, leader of Respect. Might I suggest that the BBC re-phrase the question "Do Muslims have a problem with Britain"? Chris Patten is now ensconced as BBC chairman, and - I know from sources - he has already shown that he will defend his new paymaster to the hilt, telling MPs at a briefing meeting on Thursday that he believes that the corporation's EU coverage is perfectly balanced and does not need to change. Perhaps he should have read this before thus pontificating. The Tory MP Philip Davies, a member of the Commons culture committee (the only member of which opposed Patten's appointment), has today set out why it was a disgrace: 
And so a new week dawns and a whole new set of BBC bias needs examined. Here you go, the floor is yours, have you something to say?FIGHT THE POWER!
If there is one kind of Conservative that the BBC almost like, it's the sort that are Conservative-in-name-only. Take Tim Yeo, please. This blustering buffoon was on the BBC this morning to discuss why some sort of subsidy for nuclear power was sadly inevitable. Naturally the BBC does not approve of any form of subsidy to this one form of clean energy whilst favouring as much as possible for windfarms and other loopy ideas. Mention nuclear energy and the BBC go into defence mode betraying their own innate bias on the topic.
DRUG STABBING TIME....
DEATHS TO THE JEWS AND HAVE A NICE DAY...
BACK TO THE DARK AGES...
It is widely agreed that this (a shake-up of the energy market) is needed to meet the challenge of providing enough affordable electricity without compromising the UK's climate change targets. The current structure was designed to supply plentiful cheap electricity, but not to ensure it was low-carbon.
Who the hell "widely agrees" that climate change targets must be adhered to? As far as I can tell it is only the idiot political class, the BBC, and snout-in-trough corporates who benefit from climate change subsidies. The rest of us are standing back in horror as - thanks to eco-loonery - fuel prices escalate and we face the first power cuts and the most dire fuel poverty in a generation. Energy derived from coal enabled us to escape from the miseries of the dark ages; Mr Harrabin is in the vanguard of those who are intent on us being dragged back there.Nakba Day

DOES BRITAIN HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MUSLIMS?
SOMETHING ROTTEN....
"He was always going to be a safe pair of hands, he wasn't going to pose anything radical, he wasn't going to upset the cosy situtation the BBC finds itself in and he was going to be another cheerleader for the BBC, rather than someone who would be tough on them. Appointing him was a step backwards because whereas the BBC had started to acknowledge that in the past their impartiality on issues like Europe, climate change and the Middle East hasn't been all it should have been, Lord Patten has made it perfectly clear that he thinks the BBC's impartiality is beyond reproach..."
Mr Davies neatly sums up all that stinks about the Patten appointment. TheMail on Sunday article in which Mr Davies makes his claims outlines the rat's nest of interests Lord Patten has, including being a member of the advisory panel of French global warming (let's-get-as-many-subsidies- as-possible) energy company EDF. Oh, and lest we forget, porky snout-in-trough Patten also has an axe to grind with the EU in the shape of his £100,000 pension he has from his days as a commissioner. The appointment of Lord Patten to this role confirms to me that the David Cameron administration is probably the most pro-EU ever elected, and that it has no intention whatsoever of reforming the fat, bloated disgracefully biased BBC.
