Welcome BBC readers!

Please have a look around my blog.

There are several posts I would like to point out for you.

The first one details why I and the other blogs mentioned in Paul Reynolds article, are so critical of the BBC. You can read my case against the BBC here.

Please take some time, follow the links in that post, and then decide for yourself if we have a case against the BBC.

Paul's article points out that the BBC have taken notice of blogs like ours and have even begun to use us as a source of information. This is a good sign and hopefully there is more to come. And these are most welcome words indeed:

Richard Sambrook, head of the BBC World Service and Global News Division (who runs a blog himself) accepts that the BBC needs to do more.

"The BBC should proactively engage with bloggers. This is a new issue for us. Some departments look at blogs, though haphazardly. But it pays dividends. The BBC is a huge impersonal organisation. It needs to come out from under its rock," he says.

As for using blogs as a source he says: "The key is careful attribution. It would be a big mistake for the MSM to try to match the blogs, but they can teach us lessons about openness and honesty. The MSM should concentrate on what it can do - explain, analyse and verify."

Sambrook is talking about things like the BBC lying in its coverage of Iraq. Those are not my words, they are the words of "Paul Adams, the BBC's defence correspondent who is based at the coalition command centre in Qatar."

Listen to what the BBC's own correspondent has to say about the BBC's reporting of the war in Iraq.

"I was gobsmacked to hear, in a set of headlines today, that the coalition was suffering 'significant casualties'. This is simply not true," Adams said in the memo.

"Nor is it true to say - as the same intro stated - that coalition forces are fighting 'guerrillas'. It may be guerrilla warfare, but they are not guerrillas," he stormed.

"Who dreamed up the line that the coalition are achieving 'small victories at a very high price?' The truth is exactly the opposite.

Shocked? You should be and it gets worse. Just read the post.

The second post deals with Muslim appeasement in Britain.

Sure, there are some small things in there, but banning books and the English flag are no small matters and when you add them all up, it's not looking good for Britain. Again, it gets worse, just read on.

Again, welcome BBC readers and thanks to Paul and the BBC for letting the other side have a say for a change.

If you haven't already done so, please visit the other blogs mentioned in Paul's article. I link to most of them except Kos. One look at the deranged commenters on his blog will tell you why.

I'll put a late time stamp of his post to keep it at the top.
