Standard list of BBC questions to EU politicians and bureaucrats
That report was from our Pro-EU correspondent, Tim Surrender-Monkey. To answer some of the issues it raised, I'm now joined on the phone by Schleswig-Holstein's Deputy Minister for Cultural Suicide, Hermann Jeering, who is an MP for the Liberal Democratic Socialist Christian Union Alliance Free Green Conservative Party of Schleswig-Holstein - the left-leaning, right-leaning, centrist, anarchist, far-right, nationalist, globalist, socialist, anarchist, communist LDSCUAFGCPSH...

In the wake of horror, one fact shines out: the British are really very, very nice...
Having spent the last few hours slumped in front of the TV, banjanxed by the unwonted heat, watching Sky News and the BBC News Channel, I came away even more convinced that the British really are a top-hole people. I'm sure this sounds glib, trite, sentimental, etc. - and it's not exactly difficult to feel sympathy for the victims of terrorist attacks, their families, and the people of the towns and cities where they tend to happen - but it's true. One of the very few heartening aspects of yet another mass slaughter by Muslim fanatics is that the aftermath affords us a glimpse of what people are really like...

Martin Durkin and James Delingpole in the most stimulating podcast of the year - red meat for right-wingers
I didn't mean to spend an hour this morning listening to James Delingpole interviewing the maker of the hugely influential online film, The Brexit Movie. But I made the mistake of listening to the first few minutes of the podcast...

On Brexit, I'm now 100% in favour of the BBC being rabidly biased!
The latest ComRes Independent/Sunday Mirror online poll suggests that combined support for the two main pro-Brexit parties - the Conservatives and UKIP...

Yes, I know I should be outraged by the White House excluding the BBC from a press briefing...
...but it's still bloody funny! As is seeing the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and CNN finally get their reward for eight years spent relentlessly kissing Barack Obama's scrawny backside while allowing the Clintons to get away with... murder (?)... and for the preceding eight years, which they spent trying to destroy the presidency of George W. Bush (with, admittedly, quite a bit of help from the man himself). In case anyone who doesn't regularly follow US politics online imagines that Trump's relentless attacks on "unfriendly" media outlets represents a break with his predecessor's policy, here's Fox News's normally mild-mannered Neil Cavuto thoroughly enjoying CNN's discomfiture last month:

After a severe Trumping, the "free" BBC says: "We don't like being quite so much the centre of attention" - better get used to it
President Trump's recent, notorious press conference, in which he handed out what I believe Americans call "an ass-kicking" to the assembled representatives of the left-wing mainstream media - most notably CNN and the BBC - was maddening and exhilarating. Four factors made it maddening. First, Trump's limited vocabulary, his inability to speak in complete sentences, and his array of speech mannerisms and tics make him quite painful to listen to, because you find yourself simultaneously translating everything he says into proper American-English: that makes it hard to concentrate on what he's actually saying rather than the way he's saying it...

The BBC is running a Black and British season? Why did nobody mention this???
October was Black History Month. This month, the BBC is running a Black & British season. Here's Jay Davidson, Assistant Commissioner, BBC Two and BBC Four, explaining what it's all about:

The experts now explaining why Trump won were telling us yesterday why he couldn't - drain the commentariat swamp!
I used the same Norman Rockwell image four years ago, when Mitt Romney lost, and I'll probably use it again in 2020 when... well, who knows what'll happen then? Certainly not the people paid by the media to be experts on the subject...

Paul Mason - the "journalist" who actually thinks Corbyn can win the next election and that he can't lie to the British people!
Listening to clips of the former Newsnight Business Editor (!) and the former Channel 4 News Economics Editor (!!) on Radio 4 at the weekend, I found myself wondering - not for the first time - just who in hell gave him his job on Newsnight 15 years ago, and why. What prompted my renewed speculation was Mason's comment - apparently delivered without ironic intent - that “I think Jeremy Corbyn will win. Or let’s put it this way, he will be in a position to form a government."

What the BBC's Home Editor said about Anjem Choudary in a news report in May 2015
“It's one thing to ban someone for inciting hatred or violence, but quite another to pass a law that silences anyone who challenges established values.
“I was in Parliament Square today – a statue of Gandhi looking down at me who was jailed for being extremist; Mandela who was jailed for being an extremist.
“History tells us that extreme views are sometimes needed to challenge a very established values that people at the time hold so dear.”Oh really, Mark Easton? And what "established values" that people "hold so dear" (you can hear the sneering contempt in those phrases) was...

Forget issuing new guidance on the use of statistics, BBC - just hire some conservative and right-wing journalists
The BBC Trust has decided that the corporation's cultural Marxist propaganda platform, Newsnight, was wrong to allow the current doyenne of self-regarding, addle-pated, left-wing British luvvies (Emma Thompson, in case there was any doubt) to spew out lies about the likely effect of man-made climate change on average temperatures in the near future. According to the EU-loving, business-baiting, eco-loon actress - who showed her utter contempt for this country during the EU referendum campaign by calling it "a tiny little cloud-bolted, rainy corner of sort-of Europe ... a cake-filled misery-laden grey old island" - our evil, selfish, Gaia-raping activities are set to cause an increase of 7.2°F by 2013, "if they [oil companies] take out of the earth all the oil they want to." Despite her assertions being wrong on every single imaginable level, interviewer Emily Maitlis didn't think they needed to be challenged. The BBC's response to this display of journalistic incompetence and the subsequent knuckle-rap from the Trust has been to confirm that it's bringing in new guidelines on how statistics are handled.
