PLANTING SCARVES IN THE TELEGRAPH?
Earlier this week a strange letter from Ted Shorter of Tonbridge about how men should wear a scarf appeared in the Daily Telegraph............next day, hey presto!, appeared this deeply researched article.............an admittedly rather brief search of 192.com did not find a Ted Shorter, or even an E. Shorter in the Tonbridge phone book or the electoral rolls...........but surely this rather fogeyish letter was not planted by DT staff............no, they would never do that....would they?

OUR FEARLESS AND BALANCED BBC...
There were a few eyebrows raised over the recent BBC Bradford "Cripple" story when the Beeb made much of comments made by a "Tory activist" in a private e mail. This was partly, I suppose because of the weight given to it both on the website and on Newsnight and also the heavy emphasis on the fact that it was from a "Tory".
Now being a fair minded chap I just wanted to compare and contrast how the BBC treated the "Donnygate" affair where the police uncovered large scale corruption involving the Labour controlled Doncaster City Council, described even by The Guardian as the biggest local authority corruption scandal since the 1970s....so see here how the case was finally reported by our beloved and unbiased beeboids.............clearly the Guardian was mistaken, the Councillors had no party affiliation......unlike the wicked Lady Porter at Westminster...

KEN OFF THE HOOK AGAIN?
Very strange that so far there has been little media comment about the debate a few days ago between Ken Livingston and Daniel Pipes. There was nothing on the BBC website which is strange because the Beeb has always relentlessly provided Ken with clouds of the oxygen of publicity..............could it possibly be that they were slightly embarrassed about his seconder and some of Ken's comments.....even the Today Team would never go so far in their anti Americanism to blame the Cold War completely on the USA, would they?
Have a look at what Daniel Pipes says himself ......will be fascinating to see the whole thing....
