BBCTV Question Time Needs Shaking Up, Starting At The Top. “An American would have been appalled at the stupidity and ignorance of the audience, but outraged by the attitude of the chairman, showing this seemed to be an acceptable view of America from the great and good of British society. Shame on you BBC” […]

BBC Should Lead Debate On Health Care
BBC Should Lead Debate On Health Care; Just How Do They Do It Abroad? “dead-end of top-down health care, doled out to us pleading serfs by modern day Lords of the Manor” “if anyone hints at not believing that the biggest bureaucracy in Europe is an example to the world, a lynch mob seems to […]
BBC Lauds Hobsbawm, The Apologist For Stalin
“Radio 4 used lefty hand-wringer Simon Schama to do the honours. Result; an apology for a man who excused murdering monsters” “Hobsbawm reminds me of Bertrand Russell, the “brilliant” academic, dumb as a daisy when confronted with real life questions”. The BBC made it sound as though maybe the discoverer of penicillin or […]
Hey Politicians; listen to Niall Ferguson. He’ll put you right
Niall Ferguson’s Reith Lectures promise to be scintillating and timely, showing how the west has been stumbling economically over the last 20 or so years. We (or rather our useless politicians) have been stealing from future generations by spending money we don’t have on an unaffordable welfare state. This happens because politicians can […]
Hey BBC – Stop The Smear And Encourage Free Debate
Is the EDF “vile”? “The BBC parrots these (Extreme Right, Fascist) claims and refuses to concede that to use them shows a complete misunderstanding of history and the language”. “Fascism and communism are not two opposites, but two rival gangs, fighting over the same territory” – Rand The Labour party and some parts of the […]
BNP’s Griffin humiliated by BBC, but that will probably help not hinder
It made sense for Nick Griffin to emerge from BBCTV’s Question Time as the victim rather than an aggressor, and he certainly achieved that, although I doubt if that’s the way he planned it. Also not emerging with much credit were the unbearably smug trio of mainstream political non-entities Messrs Straw, Huhne […]
Will the BNP’s Griffin show his leftie credentials on Question Time?
“the BNP is old Labour with racism” Hat’s off to the BBC! Finally, it seems to have woken up to its charter obligations to stimulate wide ranging, unfettered debate in Britain. Last week the BBC was doing it with Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who was formally banned from entering Britain for the outrageous […]
Hard Talk? More Like Easy Rider
Lack Of Balance Breached BBC Guidelines More Half-Truths Spread By BBC About Climate Change Smug, Arrogant King Should Have Been Challenged, Not Humoured Last night’s Hard Talk with Stephen Sackur on BBC World was a travesty of a programme which kids itself it is grilling guests with tough questions. By failing to brief […]
BBC Watchwords – Traduce, Delay, Obfuscate, Intimidate
Threat To Free Speech From BBC Warped View Of Copyright Law Used To Stifle Criticism The BBC refuses to respond in a forthright way to my accusation that it used gutter-press tactics to attack a local doctor, then tried to intimidate me into remaining silent by crude threats about copyright. The BBC is attempting to […]

To: The Director General, BBC From: Neil Winton Can I insist that you change your editorial guidelines to outlaw the disgraceful reporting by BBC SOUTH TODAY on June 17, which smeared Dr Rodney Tate. I’ve attached a copy of my email to The Editor, South Today, and the reply, in the form of a blog […]
