TheEye has no time for the BBC at the best of times and has always advocated privatisation. However there are times when a soft spot for old Auntie creeps through. Of all the April Fool jokes seen today, theirs is one of the most ridiculous and outlandish. In a marvellous […]

So, we wake this morning to news that BBC presenter Ray Gosling has admitted to smothering his gay lover to death with a pillow. With no sign of any regret or remorse, indeed “None whatsoever”, he said on the BBC East Midlands’ Inside Out show: “I killed someone once… He’d […]

If you want a share of the 50 million being distributed for railway station repairs then tough luck if you aren’t living in a Labour constituency.

The title of this post may seem strange because the panel consists of five people, and TheEye may well have been tuning in specifically to listen to Chris Huhne. Stop laughing at the back. Whether you are pro or anti-Griffin, it’s his presence which will overshadow the others on the […]

In his first press conference after the election Guido Westerwelle, Germany’s newly designated foreign minister, refused to answer a question in English for a BBC reporter who had been sent to report on the German election…despite the fact that he […]

It’s no exaggeration to say that the most anticipated Question Time of the year will be the one featuring Nick Griffin MEP on 22nd October. Fraser Nelson, who acquitted himself quite reasonably in last Thursday’s QT tourney, runs with news on the Spectator site that Labour are abandoning their previous stance of empty-chairing the […]
