Is the BBC biased?9 hours ago
News managementAfter London primary school teacher Sabina Nessa was murdered, I saw plenty of comments about how the BBC was seriously underreporting the story, probably for the usual BBC reasons of social cohesion. No one had a suspect then, though many were clearly guessing. Then, particularly after it became clear that the suspect appeared to be white, the BBC's coverage suddenly exploded, and Sabina became a second Sarah Everard - a focus concerning women's safety. . Newsniffer records 17 separate BBC articles about her - the first dated four days after her murder on 17 September. The breaki... read more

More than 75 years old, but it still packed a punch
It seems that some Dutch explosive ordnance disposal specialists were called in to remove a World War II-era *Panzerfaust* rocket. It was designed as a single-shot, disposable anti-tank weapon, similar to (but reportedly much more effective than) the US Bazooka or the British PIAT. The image below, courtesy of Wikipedia, shows a Panzerfaust being prepared for firing. The EOD guys decided to see whether the old, rusted-up rocket would still be effective; so they propped it up against the turret of an obsolete 1950's vintage M48 Patton tank that was being used as a target on... read more

I was asked to write an article on this subject by my Union. That article had two themes. Firstly to criticize the union movement for not taking a lead in community work when they have more members than church goers. Secondly, to show how wasteful charity labour is.
