Anyone else catch David Cameron interviewed by Andrew Marr this morning? Call Me Dave informed Marr that he was “a big fan” of the BBC, and the licence fee. Inspiring stuff.

I thought he was quite good on Marr in general but very disappointing he made no mention of the excesses of the BBC. Jeremy Hunt is talking of rolling back the monster. I suspect Cameron thought he wouldnt liberal viewers unnecessarily.
There are plenty in the Tory party that are not fans. Like I say there is still a belief that Lord Tebbit will head a committee to work out how to sell off and break up the drug users at the BBC.
Oh and on another note Add Kate Silverton to the list of left wing luvvies on Radio 5, oh and her regular politics guest Mr sam Delaney, Delaney just happens to have previously worked for the Labour party and McMong in particular, so no bias there then.
Has Cameron noticed this?:
“BBC is driving religion ‘to the margins’, says Simon Mayo”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6951450/BBC-is-driving-religion-to-the-margins-says-Simon-Mayo.html
Kate Silverton going on and on about ‘democracy’ with endless list of guests saying that our system is not democratic and needs changing. Funny that in the 13 years Liebour were in charge the BBC never brought this subject up, but now the mong looks like being booted out and the Tories are going to get in expect to see the BBC do more and more of this.
Of course what Ms Silverton failed to mention is that having Scottish MPs at Westminster voting on English issues is the most undemocratic thing of all but she won’t mention it as most jocks are Labour supporters.
Kate Silverton going on and on about ‘democracy’ with endless list of guests saying that our system is not democratic and needs changing
Funny, I was thinking exactly the same!
And the first change is to kick Labour out!
Second change would be to exit that weird noxious nexus of Statist Socialism, Corporate Fascism, Big Union, Bigger Government, Kafkaesque Bureaucracy, known as the EU.
That’s a good step to restoring some semblance of “democracy.”
Chances of #2 happening? ZERO.
He must be, otherwise not announce it is being axed?
The people want it gone, Tories, most of them, want it gone. It is biased and expensive. IT harbours useless people who have a single endearing trait to the BBC; they are leftys.
Closing the BBC will have a huge impact on the cocaine trade in Islington though.
It’s just not true that the BBC is all bad and left-wing. I won’t hear it. There’s Andrew Neil and… oh, that’s it…!
lol . . .no he’s not!
Do you have any proof, or is that just an article of faith? I don’t think I’m going to be able to vote for this asshole at this rate.
Very few in the Tory party are satisfied with the current bbc management or content. However, being overtly hostile prior to an election, is clearly not a shrewd move.
I can see your logic there. However there is a alternative tactic.
Given that we can guarantee on all evidence the BBC is NOT going to be unbiased and will spin for Labour no matter what, it can be argued that Cameron is missing a trick.
He could announce NOW that a future conservatives will fully examine the need and logic for a poll tax funded Media Leviathan in the 21st century. No “commission” promises but a political will.
Then ANY pro-Labour political bias in the run up to an election can be attacked and exposed as a blatant example of why such a proposal is necessary.
It would also be a massive shot across their bows.
Sucking up to the BBC is NOT really that logical if you look deeper.
I missed Cameron but did see the first 20 minutes. Is this show just comfort viewing for the Guardianistas? A cosy chat between the like minded.
Tristam Hunt ! ! managed to have a go at “denialists” and told me that fish and chips was a tribute to multiculturalism. I switched off .Just could not face Cameron’s oh so reasonable nice caring cuddly chat up of the hive minds.
We need a real leader not this fool.
Cameron has said it before. He does seem to love the BBC. I think he thinks of it as a great British institution and tradition and attacking or getting rid of it would be like attacking or abolishing the monarchy. He has a sentimental attachment to it. Who doesn’t, who grew up with it?
Perhaps also he is being advised by his strategists to woo the media and to create the lovable, nice guy, face of Conservatism. Well, you know how the media loved Tony Blair as the charming, smiling lovely face of New, Acceptable Labour. Cameron is smooth and charming too – and very clever.
I’m hugely sentimental about the BBC and regard it as a Great British Institution. That’s why I’m so furious it has been subverted by the left and turned into such an aberration of its former self. Its only those who truly do care about the BBC and what it once stood for who want to rid it of its bias.

This precisely why I keep saying that a Tory Government will never, ever privatize or shut down the BBC. The BBC has a generations-long special connection to the public, including Tory Toffs like Cameron. This goes far above and beyond political issues. Even if by some miracle the license fee is abolished, they’ll just subsidize it entirely out of the Treasury anyway.
Your taxes will still go to pay for the same political propaganda, as the Charter and Agreement is really independent of the license fee. The only difference is you won’t see the bill for it every year.
The Government is currently spending about £500 million per annum on advertising of one sort or another, much of which finds its way to “Independent”TV and the Press, thereby ensuring a high degree of compliance.
Even if the BBC was privatised, the Government’s spending would still ensure its loyalty.
The real issue is why no-one seems to query the Government’s huge advertising spend? (The best example is job adverts – imagine the effect on the Guardian’s profitability if the Government and Local Authorities actually took their own advice and used Direct.gov.uk for posting their vacancies.)
Steve…
(The best example is job adverts – imagine the effect on the Guardian’s profitability if the Government and Local Authorities actually took their own advice and used Direct.gov.uk for posting their vacancies.)
What profit?
The Guardian LOSES £100,000 PER DAY — and this is with the government subsidy concealed as ad revenue for non-jobs.
Get used to it: if and when Cameron becomes PM nothing will change. The licence fee will stay; the BBC will remain a bastion of bien pensant clap-trap; the warmists will dominate both energy policy and spending “to combat climate change”; Black’s, Harrabin’s and Shukman’s jobs will remain safe. On other fronts, our sovereignty (such as it is) will continue to drain away to Brussels; our “education” system will continue to go down the tubes etc etc. Leaving a puddle of grease on Marr’s sofa is the least surprising part of his campaign for office.
Not all is lost yet, there are plenty in the tory party like Daniel Hannan that are waiting to strike once the Labour scum are booted out.
Listen to this http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00psqty (from 1:26:55) .. it’s just a couple of minutes of Kate Silverton and Sam Delaney.
The Sam Delaney who has previously worked for Brown and Harperson. Of course we’re not told this.
And of course they’re reviewing the week in Politics but dont mention the Brown out issue. Why would they? Not as if that was a story in politics last week!
Unbelievable! I have fired a note off the the Controller of 5Live about this.
BBC’s thought-control intensifies:
“PC-mad BBC where even church bells and the Teletubbies are vetted” (ex-BBC reporter, Andrew Gilligan):-
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturenews/6956851/PC-mad-BBC-where-even-church-bells-and-Teletubbies-are-vetted.html
Oh I’m sure Church Bells will be replaced soon by minarets and the Muslim call to prayer.
A Teletubby in a Burka. Now I’d pay good money to see that.
No doubt followed by a ritual stoning of the gaytubby (sorry, don’t know his name)
The multi-cultural sensitivity potential is endlesss!
BBC relegates report on poll signifying unpopularity of Islam in UK; necessary to turn to e.g., ‘Daily Mail’ for fuller account:
“More than half of population believes nation is divided by religion, finds Government-backed study”

Pretty standard response really; you want us to vet potentialy offensive broadcasts so the BBC stays within the law (and its charter)? Of course we can do that, but we will over react so much as to bring the whole vetting process into disrepute, and then no one will mind when we quietly drop it after a few months.
As for Cameron loving the BBC, of course he does, he’s a Social Democrat (despises the individuals who make up society and hates democracy) just like their beloved holy Tony. The fact he calls himself a Conservative means they have to pretend to dislike him, but their hearts aren’t really in it. Compare and contrast the treatment Cameron gets with that of Thatcher or any of teh current Conservatives. Cameron’s love for the BBC hasn’t cost him my vote; he lost that years ago (“sharing the proceeds of growth” or, in English “increasing the size of the over intrusive state as fast as we can justify doing so” did that)
Massive BBC ignorance on display in that article about PC compliance fascism. Some fool is actually worried that somebody would complain about naughty Latin slang in a Britten opera? Anybody with a clue about Classical Music and its audience would know that anyone who would not only listen to a Britten opera on purpose but would actually understand naughty Latin slang simply wouldn’t be offended by it.
Nobody who would complain about that would even listen to music by a known homosexual in the first place, or at the very least they wouldn’t like Britten’s more advanced musical language and would prefer the more approachable music of, say, Mozart operas about serial rapists or cross-dressers.
Anyone so mentally weak as to be so offended by the Latin words that they actually register a complaint wouldn’t be educated enough to understand the words in the first place. There is simply no possibilty that anyone exists who would complain about it.
Utter madness, and total ignorance at the BBC. Whoever is in charge of deciding what needs vetting on Radio 3 is useless and incompetent.
And I’m assuming the church bells story is just an office joke and wasn’t a real incident.
Camp male beeboid on News 24 attacking Cameron and the Tories for NOT spelling out their cuts. The one eyed mong of course still won’t admit to having to make any cuts (just putting up taxes yet again) but the BBC doesn’t see that as a problem.
Oh well, there goes my vote.
Cameron getting hammered on Radio 5 by John Pinhead over the “Tory cuts”. Funny that McMong can go on and on about “Labour investment” and no one at the BBC thinks he’s a joke, yet the Tories are getting hammered for their refusal to state exactly what cuts.
Oh and Cameron is on with Richard Bacon tomorrow afternoon on Radio 5, so that should be a real hoot.
Nice to see the beeboids spending so much time on the news going on about some ginger haired disk jockey starting work tomorrow.
Talk about the BBC being up its own arse.
Well, I watched the Marr show on iPlayer tonight and it had a long tedious inconsequential interview with the disc jockey Chris Evans that I found excruciatingly boring and utterly pointless other than as an exercise in self-important self-promotion of the BBC.
Yes, I did think how “up itself” the BBC is.
