It’s remarkable to see the way in which the BBC shills for Mr Broon. I was wading through this grovelling contribution to the Brown recovery strategy by Brown groupie James Landale and was struck by the remarkable claim he makes that The Guardian is now a Conservative supporting newspaper!! Landale is bang on-message with Labour high command, damning Miliband and Johnson whilst praising Brown’s economic messianic capabilities. You couldn’t make it up.
THE BROWN RECOVERY STARTS RIGHT HERE!
Bookmark the permalink.
The BBC -part of the ruling centre left elite.
Bush, the man who wanted to privatize social security, is now nationalizing the financial sector to line the pockets of the rich with welfare.
Incompetent though Brown and his government are, at least Darling has ruled out wasting taxpayers money on welfare handouts to the stupid fat bankers. I’m thankful I’m not an American taxpayer.
Quite right! Brown would rather squander wage/salary earners’ money on stupid fat chavs on “disability”, stupid fat chav women with multiple children sired by men who spent a couple of nights in her free apartment, and “unemployed” who get money for beer, ciggies, scratch cards and take-aways from the taxpayer in return for putting an X next to Labour.
This won’t work in one more generation as the voters won’t be able to read the names of the candidates, their schools having failed to teach them even how to spell their own names, never mind anyone else’s.
Photos might work. Or symbols, like they use in Bangladesh.
Let’s face it. We’ve got a Tory government next time. But can we persuade that Tory government to set the BBC free?
I’m not so sure. Freedom for the BBC is obviously not an urgent priority for a new Tory administration, but we need to hear about a proposal for BBC independence after a year or so of Tory rule.

It’s not going to happen. Cajoled by a Leftist media into appointing a Left-liberal candidate, the Conservatives are no more likely to decapitate the BBC hydra than is ZaNuLabour.
The Tories may, or may not, be better than what we have now – but there is absolutely no chance of iDave cutting his meejah chums down to size.

Who knows? Who knows what any Cameron policy, if such exists, is? Read the runes and you are as wise as a pundit.
One thing for sure: David Cameron is not interested in you.
There is absolutely no reason to vote for him.
Verity, BBC independence is more likely with Tory governments. Let’s free the BBC as soon as we can.
Pete – I don’t think under this socialist-lite leader. He’s a communitarian. That is where he sees his future. As with Tony Blair, the premiership of Great Britain is not a goal in itself. It’s a high profile stepping stone.
(I saw Tony Blair as a guest on some talk show last night and he grows daily more like Des O’Connor.

Sorry for feeding the trolls, but I must point out to this persistently stupid son of a b***h that Bush bailed out the financial sector to try and stop the complete crash that (mainly) Democrat meddling in the economy caused.
If he didn’t bail out this mess, morons like you would be claiming that he was heartless for letting the economy sink.
The truth is that government interference in the economy creates errors which then must be corrected by further interference, and so on. The end result is never pretty.
Did you ever see that episode of Father Ted where Ted takes delivery of a new car for a church raffle? He sees a tiny dent in the bonnet and tries to “even it out” with the small tap of a hammer. He taps a little too hard, so he taps the other side to even that out. Cut to the next scene and the entire car is covered from top to bottom with dents, completely written off. I can’t think of a better analogy to explain the concept of state interference. When you start to screw with the free market, everything you do necessitates further interference until you’ve trodden all over it.
I happen to think that Bush is wrong to bail out the financial sector. He should have just let whatever was going to fail, fail. But this would have resulted in some pretty low times for a while and would have been political suicide. People losing their homes and jobs – political suicide, even if it is for the best in the long run.
Bush cannot win – whatever he did, he would come under fire from arseholes like you who refuse to understand the finer points of economics.
I’ve just spotted Brown’s ‘smile’ in that article. Oh, and there’s my breakfast, all over my desk.
The website reporting of the shar-infsted waters facing Brown makes it sound as though he’s juyst been elected with a massive majority. The led story is that he’s going to spend £1bn on forcing two-year olds to go to nursery schools, followed by JK Rowling’s £1m donation.
Meanwhile, in the real world, a poll in the Observer of 35,000 voters in key marginals shows that Labour will be reduced to 160 seats in the next parliament.
Where is this on the website? Er, buried at the bottom of the £1bn spending con trick.
BBC reporter Rita Chakrabarti rounds off her traktor production report on Brown’s big idea of dreaming up another way of spending money with the statement “Polls reported in the Sunday papers are decidedly mixed”. Surely that impies that the polls give different election winners. In fact they are “mixed” between catastrophe & disaster for Brown! At best for Labour we have CON 39%: LAB 27%: LD 21%.
David this from your reference to the James Langdale article really needs to be preserved on the sidebar of this blog.
The recently Brown-opposing, Tory-sympathising Guardian newspaper not only opens its pages for Mr Brown to eulogise about his “decisive action” over the financial crisis, but it also declares that shares in Brown have “rallied strongly”.

Right. And Northern Rock was what, exactly?
Brown is going to need a very long Honours? list judgeing by the money pouring in. Can we hope that Her Majesty allows her red pen to run amok — please, pretty please, PLEASE!
so I can now safely buy the guardian?….maybe not hey?
“Who knows? Who knows what any Cameron policy, if such exists, is? Read the runes and you are as wise as a pundit.

Oh my goodness, Verity has transferred her hysteria from the Spectator to here.
Verity, you are now a foreigner. Who this country votes for is no longer anything to do with you. Your overt party political propaganda has no place here.
A proper recovery plan starts with not throwing money into the EU pot.Equivalent to at least £540 per houshold per year.
So that also rules out the Tories under spiv Cameron.
So, Robin, you’d rather vote for MacUseless and destroy this country even further? Yes, that makes a lot of sense …
I read elsewhere that Ben Bradshaw is thinking of crossing the floor. If true, it fits in nicely with the advice which I would give to those in NuLab who are concerned for their lucrative careers at the publicly-funded trough. Any NuLab MP who believes that he/she may lose his/her seat and nice expenses, pension etc. should simply join the Conservatives. You will get to keep your seat and all its juicy perks and there is no need for any dissimulation on changing political views because Dave’s Cons have exactly the same policies on everything as Broon’s Bozos.
Any word on Bradshaw from the BBC?
I think some people here make the same mistake as the BBC does – Gordon Brown is not the Labour Party, just as David Cameron is not the Conservative Party.
Just remember Tony Blair – he was quite happy mincing round the “world stage”, while the real die hard socialists were introducing all kinds of totalitatian policies. If anything Tony Blair was a really weak leader. Gordon Brown just wants to rule a “New World Order” it has absolutly nothing to do with this country, but the spread of neo-socialism throughout the world.
If the conservatives do win the next election – there will be a clamour of people expecting change and not just a return of Blair.
I would also be very suprised if the conservatives would be happy for the BBC to carry on as they are, a socailists propaganda organisation.
George,
There are more than two political parties in the UK. More than three even. And spiv Cameron is LabourLite. He will destroy the country as much as ZaNuLabour. look at his record over the EPP.
“He will destroy the country as much as ZaNuLabour.”
Look Cameron maybe “a spiv” but he is not a dictator – he will still have to get the support of people like this
http://www.talkcarswell.com/default.aspx
Anyway how do you know what the conservative policies are- ever heard any from the BBC?
The BBC only “inerview” Labour and Lib Dems. Do you think the BBC would report any conservative policies that may be popular and therefore get them even more votes? If the conservatives were the same as Labour they would be on the TV and Radio daily – the BBC could then report that there is no need to vote Conservative as they are the same as Labour. No I don’t buy into this “there is not a fag paper between Labour and the Conservatives”.
It will be at the next election when the BBC will be out to dish the dirt on the Conservatives, meanwhile its tactic is to ignore them and cheer for Brown.
Dave’s Cons have exactly the same policies on everything as Broon’s Bozos
What utter nonsense.
Robin, anyone who wants to see Clegg in power would be voting for McUseless mark II.
George,
I dont want to see the LIbDims in power.I dont want any of the three main parties in power.
Jon,
The BBC is biased, but it still reports about the Conservatives, albeit reluctantly at times. But it`s emphasis is on just three parties.
Cameron is a spiv who renages on his promises, and he wont even dent the progress of the EU project.
when the cameron cabinate is announced we will know his op.
ODPM and Europe Minister are key.
I’m no fan of Cameron. However, I really do think the Tories will sort out the BBC once and for all when they get power again.
The BBC is shitting bricks at the thought of that.
A few years ago, the Tories would have been frightened of sorting out the BBC, but now with so many homes having Sky, Virgin or Freeview people have a choice and there is a way to allow the BBC to continue based on subscription and advertising.
There is an argument for keeping a small TV licence fee to allow programme makers to produce programmes that have a public interest, but that money should not be spent by Beeboids on rent boys and drugs.
Martin | 21.09.08 – 11:17 pm |
I don’t think there is any case for keeping the licence fee at all – even if it was a small part – the option would be to increase it if the socialists ever regained power. To re-introduce a licence fee after years without it would be very difficult.
George,
I dont want to see the LIbDims in power.I dont want any of the three main parties in power.
Original Robin | 21.09.08 – 9:57 pm
Robin, are you saying to George that “Dave’s Cons have exactly the same policies on everything as Broon’s Bozos”?
George, the most important matter is the status of the UK as a prisoner of the EU. I want us out; a near-majority of Britons want us out: what is the policy of Dave’s cons (excuse my appropriate French)?
And yet, for some unfathomable reason, Cameron reckons that if he is nice to the BBC and follows the policies it wants, the BBC will treat him fairly. If Cameron had any wit about him, he would know that the BBC can no longer do him real harm because it is as tainted as NuLab.
Fine, Allan. By all means let’s vote for UKIP.

I have long been under the impression that that’s why the Tories put him in as leader. Cameron is youngish and early on his policies ticked all the right touchy-feely boxes, so the leadership hoped that the “green” crap and the other nominally Labour policies Call Me Dave has espoused would get them back in power. As I recall, there was about as much objection in some corners about his elevation to leadership as there was when it was clear that McCain was going to be the nominee. “He’s not a true conservative,” etc.
The thing is, none of the Tories really foresaw the absolute collapse of Mr. Brown. At least, not the way it’s happening. If anything, similar to the US, now is the time for the Conservatives to re-establish at least a couple of real conservative principles.
I have to agree with George, though, that voting UKIP (or, in the US, the option seems to be sitting this one out) is not the answer.
