The BBC Defend Danny Baker

Danny Baker the BBC Radio 5 live  presenter made the following tweet only a few hours after the Boston Bombing:

Disgusting news from USA. Tragically, in 70s & 80s you couldnt drink in many Boston bars without putting money into a bucket for "the cause"

Really Danny many Boston bars? The IRA never raised more than 800,000 dollars a year in the USA. No more than 5 million dollars over 30 years of armed conflict. Considering it cost 15 to 20 million pounds a year to run the IRA that really wasn't very much money. Maybe Danny boy should leave politics to somebody who knows something about the subject stick to football Danny.

BBC Question Time Fair And Balanced?

Thursday nights edition of the BBC’s Question Time came from Belfast. And according to the floor plan featured John O’Dowd of SF/IRA and Ian Paisley Junior of DUP Goodies. And they say the BBC doesn’t have a Pro Unionist bias. As far as I know John O’Dowd was never a member of the IRA. And to accuse him of being a member is a thundering disgrace. As for Ian Paisley Junior being a Goodie I assume that means a good guy not a member of the 1970′s comedy trio made up of Graham Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie. Well you can judge Ian Junior for yourself as he seems very fond of judging others especially gays.

BBC Has A English Bias New Report Finds

BBC News coverage has a English Bias a new report has found. The report from the Audience Council Scotland has found that BBC Radio 4 has a South of England bias. This will come as no suprise to anybody living in the UK who listens to BBC Radio or Television. The SNP has called for broadcasting powers to be devolved to Scotland. And who could argue with that when Scottish people are being asked to pay for English middle class opinion being passed off as World News.
