Life In These United States – No. 2

Here’s a new edition of my little coverage of US issues. My thanks to all those who listened to the first one, and for the kind words about it. I hope people find this one interesting as well. Apologies for this one being a litter longer, clocking in at a bit over 16 minutes. Just too many details to include. Links to everything I talk about are listed below, so … Continue reading 

BBC Censorship: Trayvon Martin Edition

I didn’t even want to get into the Trayvon Martin George Zimmerman story, but the latest BBC report on the story, about a judge declining a request to raise his bail, is still misleading you on what happened. They’re still telling you that Zimmerman wasn’t charged immediately because of Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law. That was the initial story that was going around, but way too much information has come … Continue reading 

THE BIG QUESTIONS…

I know I shouldn’t but I DO watch Nicky Campbell’s “The Big Questions”. Do you? It’s a grim programme but bang on all BBC memes. This morning saw Peter Hitchens being howled down because he spoke up in favour of capital punishment, meanwhile Islamophobia was detected in those who object to Halal meat. It’s truly grotesque in the bias.

    Thanks David, I enjoyed it. A couple of observations : the UK isn’t a signatory to the Schengen agreement. But despite that our border controls might as well not exist. And, I wish we, here in the UK would abolish the right to postal voting, except in certain circumstances such as the armed forces personnel who are on operations outside our country. I also wish that we were required to present some form of ID when voting.
    I look forward to your next report.

      Thanks for the correction about the Schengen agreement. I believe that Britain suffers the consequences of it anyway, no?

      Add in ballot boxes with plastic garden ties and cardboard ballet boxes and it’s just a question of how much fraud you want to generate.

    Thanks for all your painstaking work on this, David.
    If only Matt Frei’s defunct Sunday night biasfest, ‘Americana’, had been more like this!

    Voter fraud…postal ones and Islamic targetting by Labour?
    Unfettered immigration and the liberal wish to sneer at those who oppose it as “racist”?
    Blatant bias against the non-media favourite…inevitably socialist?
    Our two countries face the same bull..so thanks for making it clear as crystal!

    David – thanks from me too – a piece like this takes time to prepare and you have now informed me in a way that a £3 billion organisation seems unable to.

    That’s excellent. I didn’t get a chance to listen to the first one but I really enjoyed that. Thanks to ASE for hosting also. Am wondering how we can make this intereactive as in maybe doing something after QT liveblog?

      DV, I’m working on something now to host a live discussion via Skype which can be streamed live (audio only for now, just to keep it simple). I’m also trying to combine that with live phone-in at the same time, so people have a choice. It would be broadcast via Livestream, so nobody would need to log in or download anything just to listen to it. Calling in would require either Skype or a phone call, if I get it all to work properly.
      I thought it might work best if we kept the live chat from QT going and add this on top of it. A couple more kinks to work out and I’ll be in touch with you and ASE for a test.
