Is the BBC biased?     

Antisemitism and the media
We hear that there’s a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents, perhaps because Jews are now more likely to report them. (Or because of the negative way Israel and Jews are portrayed in the British media.) The Today programme announced this news clearly enough, but didn’t seem curious about the how, the why or the wherefore.  Get an earful of Ajmal Masroor’s ugly Speech about Zionism and the Zionist L

The Pennine Way

The paper wanted the advertising revenue, but was worried the real nature of the business was prostitution. So

The Hoover Memo Again

Area 51 and History 2
I was watching one of those old UFO programs on History Two, which I think is where they now dump most of their crap. Anyway, this program was about Area 51 and when it was over, I thought about what I had learned.The highly secret base had runways, hangars, and other buildings. What a stunning bit of information.The “camo dudes” who watch those getting close to the base perimeters were dressed in

Dear Yvette,Re: Leadership of the Labour PartyI read extracts of your interview with the Indy with some interest as, I think it's fair to say, your platform for Labour leadership is considered the 'lightest' among the contenders so far.

Another day, another bout of mischief making. In today's Indy we learn that things aren't looking too rosy for Labour.

Jeremy Corbyn and Hard Left "Infiltration"
The press are not neutral arbiters when it comes to the Labour leadership contest. If they can use the debates between party members as a way of deepening divisions in the party, they will.

How much has the Republican Party on Capitol Hill lost its equilibrium?

The Defense Department released a Law of War Manual in June that says some interesting things about how the United States views legal questions about the use of nuclear weapon.

A “free” vote on Capitol Hill is one without negative consequences. Republicans and Democrats can line up with party activists and showboat without risk because they will be unsuccessful.
