Thursday 26 November 2009 9:23pm on 26 Nov 2009 Why not roll two stories into one and highlight how awestruck the BBC and Newsnight were to the lies of Blair?
KABUL: CITY NUMBER ONE (continued) 4:24pm on 03 Oct 2009 The other obvious link between Afghanistan and Italy is the similarity between Pashtunwali & southern Italian clan code of behaviour.

By the way Adam, if you're looking for amusing footage laden with references to 'Panther's Claw' check out the high camp Japanese film 'Cutie Honey'.
Monday 21 September 2009 8:04pm on 21 Sep 2009 "We'll speak to key players on both sides of the Atlantic."

So, you're talking to two cheeks from the same arse, with the Army's friend Mark Urban giving his tuppence worth.

Have you ever thought of widening out this subject in a way that doesn't constantly pander to 'key players'?
Monday 17 August 2009 10:39pm on 17 Aug 2009 A message to the BBC.

The UK did not create an Empire to spread human rights, it was to gain influence, open up markets and make money. It tries to maintain influence via gun boat diplomacy with it's partners.

You continually frame UK foreign policy in terms of it's benevolence. You treat your viewers as idiots.
Monday 17 August 2009 9:01pm on 17 Aug 2009 Nation building, democracy, women's rights, terrorism, freedom, blah, blah.

A ring of bases, surrounding the Caspian basin and the Middle East; a barrier to Russian and Chinese interests.

Will Newsnight call a spade a spade for a change?
It Felt Like a Kiss film - coming soon 7:58pm on 22 Jul 2009 Thanks for the show Adam, by the end I was laughing like a mad bloke out of a spaghetti western. Can't say fairer than that.
Friday 17 July 2009 6:14pm on 17 Jul 2009 Bigoted old soaks are setting the news agenda for our state broadcaster!
Wednesday 6 May 2009 5:44pm on 06 May 2009 It would take an idiot not to attempt to make the distinction between "Islamic militancy" & legitimate resistance on a day when scores of civilians have been killed by the USAF.

What would you do if your family were wiped out by occupying foreigners? Are we making things worse or better? Can we have someone with a less colonial mindset than Urban examining these issues please?
Monday, 20 April 2009 10:17pm on 20 Apr 2009 Jean, homosexuality doesn't exist in Iran, the same as racism in Israel.

The lies from both sides of this story are glaring. It's a pity we only hear about it from the BBC's pathetically one eyed 'western' stance, but I'm not holding a candle for Ahmadinejad either.

By the way, the link you posted which gives IQs for subsections of 'races' is the biggest pile of pseudo scientific excrement served up since the eugenicists went round measuring the shape of peoples skulls.
Monday, 20 April 2009 8:42pm on 20 Apr 2009 The same countries that supported apartheid SA now give succour to Israel. The self appointed arbiters of propriety are working their magic again.

Rather than follow the hysterical lead of the mainstream media, it would be refreshing if Newsnight would tackle the issue head on and examine whether there is any voracity in the claims of Ahmadinejad. Not that the Iranian premier is a man who is afraid to revel in prejudice, he's neck deep in it; however, there is much evidence that the rule of law is not exercised equally by Israel. Access to land ownership, housing permits, freedom of movement & citizenship rights are all exercised on a racist basis by Israel.

Given that the BBC is mouthpiece in chief of the UK government, there is as much chance of pigs flying than an honest examination of the issues behind Ahmadinejad's speech, but we live in hope of some honest journalism from our state broadcaster.
