I saw a bit of the Marr show this morning. He had a rather nice cosy chat with our next Prime Mentalist.
Patrick Stewart (a Liebour luvvie) putting the boot in to the Tories.
Marr was pathetic.

Broadcasting house, R4 9am – a cross section of the nation to review the papers
Stephen Pound Labour MP,
A Virologist who wants us to know within his first score words that he is an admirer of Gordon Brown,
A lady who lost limbs in the 7/7 terrorist bombing but is a big supporter of the NHS (fair enough & I didn't stay listening to find out whether that was cue for resisting evil Tory cuts)

Martin,
Yes, Randy Marr's chat with Ken Clarke was nowhere near as cosy. Marr plugged away at him, asking question after question about what the Conservatives would cut if they won the election – public sector pensions? Trident? doctors' pay? etc, etc? All except Marr's last two questions were on this theme of Tory cuts – as if there were nothing else to ask! It could have been a Liebour cabinet minister asking the questions, so closely did it suit this useless Government's agenda.
And to add biased insult to biased injury, Marr's "final" question fitted another Liebour ploy, to try and pick at divisions in the Tory party. He asked if Ken was happy about the "crackpot" idea to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Getting nowhere, he then asked if Ken was happy that the Tories would be sitting in the Euro Parliament with Polish parties that hate homosexuals & hate Obama?!
What a shameless Liebour lickspittle Marr is!

Also, guess who Marr had on to review the papers with the fragrant Carol Vorderman? Yes, it was none other than ‘Universal Ken’ Livingstone. Universal Vince is going to be green with envy!
MArtin and Will2001; yes indeedy, I think that I can maybe discern a sliht pro-Labour, pro-State Health bureaucracy bias there.
Funny that.
Oh, and also compare these headlines from the BBC’s On This day history page…

Top Story 1979: Election victory for Margaret Thatcher
A slight difference of emphasis, perhaps? A little weighted to the historic and routed side?
And compare the first couple of sentences:
The Labour Party has won the general election in a landslide victory, leaving the Conservatives in tatters after 18 years in power, with Scotland and Wales left devoid of Tory representation.
The Conservative Party has won the general election making Margaret Thatcher Britain’s first ever woman prime minister.
Difficult not to see where the page’s copywriter stands.
It’s the little things in life that mean so much.
Thank God.

“Will you share some of your poetry with us?”
There once was a Paedophile called Mohammed
Who said that the Jews would be damned
An evil ideology did he make
Of which no criticism the BBC would take!

I don’t see WV as an impediment but the failure to convert URLs to hotlinks is a problem as it will inhibit people from linking directly to the examples of bias they are writing about.
To the commenter who suggested it might slow down trolls, I fear not. It is there only to trap automatic spammers.
The lack of ‘X new messages’ is a shame but at least this system is said to be stable. Old hands will remember how many of their comments haloscan has eaten over the years!

“Will you share some of your poetry with us?”
The credits that start “Andrew Marr”,
With him cruising along in his car,
Like a mafia don,
With his cool glasses on,
Make me want to puke in a jar.

I’m quite disappointed the picture of David Vance has gone.
Given the blatant egotism that powers his desire to turn Biased BBC into The David ‘Martyr’ Vance Show, it was just about the most honest thing he’s done.

I am sure I will get used to this new site – but like Grant I would appreciate a few hints on how to use it to the max esp the forum
But not quite understanding the problem with the old Haloscan I would still like to thank David for all his hard work.

The Sunday Times has advanced notice of the next BBC Bonofest
The BBC has listened to reason, and is bringing Bono back. Radio 4 is to broadcast a poem he has written about Elvis Presley. Cancel all engagements for May 13, when the “plain but intense” verse, called Elvis: American David, will be interwoven with “atmospheric and artistic” music. Here’s an extract from the poem, written in 1995:
Elvis son of Tupelo
Elvis mama’s boy
Elvis the twin brother of Jesse,
Who died at birth and was buried In a shoe box
Be honest – are you not lost for words?Not quite!

In contrast,

[Extract]:
“But then it dawns upon us.
“Pig-farming in Egypt and the consumption of pork are limited to Egypt’s Christian minority – the Copts – estimated at 10 per cent of the population. Why let inconvenient science get in the way of an opportunity for a little Christian persecution? Egypt is taking advantage of the swine flu outbreak to persecute this minority, despite the absence so far of any cases of pig flu being reported in Egypt.
“The Muslim world by and large considers pigs to be ‘unclean’, and they do not eat pork because of religious restrictions. One Islamic militant website has carried comments saying swine flu was God’s revenge against ‘infidels’.”

Yes it seems all those pearls of unpaid wisdom of mine have gone.
All those times I warned people about Blair and especially Brown.
All those times I advised people to buy gold, like their lives depended on it, etc.
All those times I predicted economic collapse on a global scale.
All those times I predicted an Obama win, way before he had even won the Democrat nomination.
All those times I correctly predicted just about everything in fact, with a 100% success rate, so far.
It is not the abuse, and attacks on my sanity that bothers me. What does bother me and should bother yourselves is this.
I have yet to read one reply to any of my many comments that has successfully destroyed, or dented, even ONE of my theories or direct statements.
Which is a shame because I make comments for mainly two reasons.
1. I desperately want someone to destroy my theories, almost as much as many of you lot seemingly NEED to destroy or ignore them. As no one would really want to believe what I do in fact very much believe.
2. I would feel greatly reassured to know that there is still existent in this world people capable of THINKING for themselves. This instead of only reacting to given BBC/MSM stimuli, very much like a original thoughtless bunch of mind controlled sheep.
Shooting the messenger or taking the piss, may bring short term relief, but then so does taking a REAL piss.
Surly post graduates do not have to be reminded that taking a piss, is a bodily function, not an intellectual one. Or do they?
I live in hope.
The more independently thinking and less ignorant, will I hope agree on this.
A conspiracy theory is as difficult to prove by direct evidence, as it is to disprove by direct evidence.
However
Any judge will tell you, that if enough ‘circumstantial evidence’ self evidently exists for a certain crime or event, it is basically a done deal.
It seems to me that the profane mass of humanity have been systematically made/forced/very much encouraged to believe that the material and spiritual world that they inhabit, is the way it is today, almost exclusively due to a very long list of reasonably unrelated, and highly improbable unplanned ACCIDENTS. Accidents of political history exclusively inspired by INDIVIDUAL greed, stupidity, evilness and ignorance.
When to a very large extent virtually nothing, in fact absolutely nothing, could be further from the truth.
