A family slaughtered in Israel – doesn't the BBC care?
Being an expat I’m an avid reader of UK news websites. My personal favourites being The Daily Telegraph, Sky News and in recent times BBC News.
During the past few months I've noticed that the news editors at the BBC seemed to be biased against Israel (and other countries). I thought it was me being paranoid but eventually I switch from BBC to CNN International who give a more balanced view.
I now see that I’m not the only one who shares this opinion. I don’t usually agree with politicians but Louise Bagshawe seems to have a points. What do you think ?

Sarah Palin aborts visit to Bethlehem
"It is unclear whether Mrs Palin and her team failed to realise that Bethlehem lay on Palestinian territory rather than in Israel, a mistake often made by foreign tourists, though not so often by visiting politicians."

Glenn Beck on Itamar Massacre
As it says in our strapline “A lighthearted look at their religion and culture” However there are very rare occasions when I have to be serious and this is one of them.
I have just watched a video clip on YouTube of an ABC news program. Filled with horror ? Filled with rage ? it goes beyond that. A well used expression is “How can one human being do this to another ?” Well my friends the sort of ‘beings’ who commit these atrocities are not human, they are not even animals as animals kills for food.

"For Karen Buck to use race, religion and class for political point-scoring is deeply offensive and irresponsible," she said.
The Labour frontbencher said controversial plans to cut housing benefit were designed to force “black women, ethnic minority women and Muslim women” out into the capital’s poorer suburbs.

Friday nights at Fopps with Ray Charles, Traffic, Sherly Crow, The Penguin Café Orchestra and more
Fopps, Covent Garden (actually Shaftesbury Avenue, London) is not only one of the few remaining CD retailers but the only one open until 11.00pm on a Friday night. A short walk from Leicester Square underground (Covent Garden underground s nearer but far too rammed on a Friday night) it’s surprising unpredictable in the user comfort stakes.
On March 11 at 10.30 pm is was comparatively quite. On other Fridays is seems full of inconsiderate idiots with rucksacks the size of wardrobes where one incautious move on their part can nudge one or more hapless browsers face-first into the CD racks. Anyway, even so it’s great place to unload a few quid. And so I do. Quite often. And i am not ashamed! Yes I am a music junkie!
The staff couldn’t me more helpful. The choice of music on the floors always appeals to me. They might stock hip-hop and rap but they have the decency not to play it. What you might get is music which although attractive is unfamiliar and yet you can’t easily shift it out of your conscience. More often than not it’s some obscure new music from Europe that initially people like me would dismiss as ‘superficial’ but actually isn’t.
