Here's Conservative MP Graham Stuart responding to a cheap shot from Nicky Campbell on Radio Five Live's Breakfast show this morning. With BBC news coverage of the US Presidential race hotting up, it is quite useful to consider what B-BBC's Alan has to say here; "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" Martin Luther King, Jr., registered Republican....or to put another way to describe the BBC's news output....'Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue.' I have just been reminded that Martin Luther King was Republican....as were most Blacks of his era. Why would they be Republican? maybe Mark Mardell would like to explain and expand on that...and maybe not? Possibly because the Democrats were the people that invented the Klu Klux Klan and opposed all anti-slavery legislation...and later were against much of the civil rights legislation as well. Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every piece of civil rights legislation from the 1860’s to the 1960's. http://images.nbra.info/docs/library/NationalBlackRepublicanAssociation2009/NBRA%20Civil%20Rights%20Newsletter%202Feb11.pdf Yes, well, the minute GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich suggested that there could be a manned lunar base which would be American, then this was going to go disputed by the BBC. I laughed at the blatant way in which the BBC sets up Gingrich in this item Of course when John F Kennedy made pretty much the same sort of speech in 1962, that is hailed by the likes of the BBC as "visionary" whereas when Gingrich makes it then it "delusionary". But no bias, no sirreee! Biased BBC contributor Alan notes; The BBC narrative is clear. Bankers were solely responsible for the global financial crisis. Go a little deeper and the narrative refines itself even more alarmingly; Capitalism was solely responsible for the global financial crisis. If only the State could control things. Next, seize on every opportunity to nail this in the public psyche. Take this current onslaught against RBS Chairman Stephen Hester. His crime has been to abide by his contract - a contract put in place under the gaze of a Labour Government. Now, the BBC allows Labour spokesman Chuka Umunna to rage against the sheer iniquity of what HIS party facilitated in the first place! Mike Cunningham, one of my fellow writers over on A Tangled Web, tackles the issue here.

Nicky Campbell: For the first time MPs on the Education Select Committee want you to provide the questions when they go head-to head with Michael Gove next Tuesday. They're asking for suggestions via Twitter. LOL. And it's going to be with the hashtag "AskGove". The Conservative MP Graham Stuart is the chair of the Education Committee. Good morning. Graham Stuart: Good morning, Nicky. Nicky Campbell: Tell us a little bit more about this, getting other people to do your hard work for you. Great idea - you can go and have lunch in your subsidised canteen. [Smug chortle] Graham Stuart: Thanks for that low remark. You of course struggle by on a fraction of what MPs are paid Nicky so it's nice to have someone like you standing up for low earners… Nicky Campbell: Absolutely, well said! Graham Stuart: … and the unsubsidised while working for the BBC, but never mind - we won't worry about your hypocrisy.
After that put-down Campbell steered clear of the wisecracks and concentrated on the topic at hand.NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAT STUPIDITY
ROCKET MAN...
A LOAD OF BULL...?
"The BBC should not have screened this programme because it did not inform, entertain or meet any of the other accepted objectives for public broadcast television. Rather, it mislead the viewer into believing that bull breeds and owners of bull breeds were in some sense inferior to the rest of society. Some of the cases they showed had welfare implications and were not your “average” bull breed owner. They chose not to depict any of the ordinary or more affluent Midlanders who take pride in their Staffordshire Bull Terriers and its numerous cross-bred combinations. Significantly, no dangerous dogs (i.e. Section 3) featured in this BBC film, and this was a massively biased defence of the ill-conceived Section 1 breed specific legislation."
NARY A CAREY IN SIGHT, OR SOUND
"Had the former Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, said Banker's behaviour was the greatest moral scandal of our time I'm certain the BBC would have trumpeted it like some avenging Herald....but he didn't say that which is why his words have been sunk in obscurity with no fanfare what so ever by the BBC. Although his comments were in the Daily Mail yesterday morning there has been a blanket silence across the BBC despite his powerful condemnation of the Bishop's who opposed the cap on benefits....and not even a peep out of the Today programme." 'Archbishop blasts clerics who oppose welfare reform and declares the REAL moral scandal is our £1TRILLION debt'

'History of civil rights - In a nutshell • The Republican Party - From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. • The Democratic Party – As author Michael Scheuer stated, the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism. Slavery – Democrats fought to expand it, Republicans fought to ban it Democrats formed the Confederacy, seceded from the Union and fought a Civil War (1861 to 1865) – a war where over 600,000 citizens were killed, including many thousands of blacks – in order to keep blacks in slavery because the Democrats had built their economic base on the backs of black slaves. Democrats enacted Fugitive Slave laws to keep blacks from escaping from plantations and instigated the 1856 Dred Scott decision which legally classified blacks as property. The Party of Lincoln The Republican Party was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party by abolitionists opposed to keeping blacks in human bondage, and Republicans, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, fought to free blacks from slavery. After the Civil War, Republicans amended the US Constitution to grant blacks freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th Amendment) and the right to vote (15th Amendment). Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan in 1866 to lynch and terrorize Republicans -black and white and drive Republicans out of the South.
A Biased BBC reader contacted me with regard to what he sees is the BBC's biased attitude to the dog owning community.
The BBC's programme, Death Row Dogs, 24th January has raised several hackles, including complaints from Dr Roger Mugford, an eminent expert on canine behaviour who says: Now, I don't have a dog in this fight myself, but I am always happy to provide a platform to those concerned about BBC bias.
