I was listening to Kate Silverton on Radio 5 earlier, she was talking about the election to some leftie from the Guardian and talking about a hung Parliament (funny they never talked about Clegg not wanting to do a deal with Nu Labour). Silverton bigging up latest poll and leftie from Guardian saying “Brown thinks he can win”. Big sob story about the Mong and his blubbering to Piers Morgan (that will be vomit inducing)
But then Silverton almost let her leftie leaning slip in good old Radio 4 Today way.
Talking about the election she said something then said “This will be the first election WE…” she then stopped and simply started another sentence as if she realised in time what she was going to say..
Can’t be sure, but perhaps “This is the first election where WE will be behind in the polls?”
Who knows.
Wow, how many Beeboids were peeling onions out of shot and underneath Cambell’s nose today?
The BBC lapped up this nonsense and are now spinning it on our website.
Yesterday we heard about Brown shedding tears during some TV interview – you’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh, as Oscar Wilde once said in another context – and today up pops Alistair Campbell, doing his best to emote, though failing to produce actual tears, when confronted about his spin and the dodgy dossier. What a failure that was Alistair. Epic bad acting.
Yes, we know that Campbell is working at Downing Street again. Here we are seeing the Labour election strategy at work on our screens. Gordon Brown and Alistair Campbell trying to appear like recognisably human, normal, feeling people. Pah!
For once, Andrew Marr kept at it. I wonder though, if he would have shown the same relish for pursuing the issue, had it not been an anti-war lefty cause. Would be quite so persistent in pinning down the climate change academic fraudsters, for example? Well, I’d like to see it. Hope it happens.
God now Silverton has wife cheater (no not Terry) Prescott on talking to him as if he’s some intellectual giant on the web and technology.
Funny Kate hasn’t talked about him cheating on his wife by shagging some real fat ugly slapper. Oh hand on he’s not a Tory.
Prescott snorting like a pig live on air.. hang on HE IS A PIG.
Silverton keeps calling the wife cheater “John” is a very soft voice, she likes him, then she’s calling liar Campbell “Alistair”. Can’t remember her EVER calling a Tory by their first name. Oh hang on she’s never had a Tory on her show.
It’s a real Labour love fest today.
Still not asked him about shagging a fat slapper on OUR time.
BBC’s Muslim Head of Religion-“Aaqil Ahmed: The Church of England is ‘living in the past'”
http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2010/02/aaqil-ahmed-church-of-england-is-living.html
Watching the BBc 2 program yesterday (6/02/10) the virtual revolution. Basically quite a good program about the development of the internet until they get to examples:
Bad use: terrorist groups can use it to organise and recruit.
Good use: Climate activists can use it to arrange mass protests about power stations.
The BBC just can’t help themselves can they!
I saw that as well. They keep using Al Gore as some sort of expert (alongside Berners-Lee and Bill Gates who DO know what they are on about), I keep forgetting that Al Bore invented the internet of course.
It was interesting the stance they took that climate change activists were using the net, she could have used the fact that the net was being used to pull down the climate change scam, but then the female presenter is a Guardian journalist (naturally)
Just been watching the awful “Country Tracks” programme (not my
choice, the wife had it on over lunch) on the BBC (whatever happened to Farming, or the original “Countryfile”? This new programme is so “right-on” leftie-greenie, with patronising Blue Peter-type presenters rushing around calling everyone “guys” and shouting “fantastic” a lot). Anyway, I digress. The week’s weather forecast twice included the phrase “Copycat Conditions” – huh? Never encountered that one before…
If there is one word I would ban from the TV presenters’ lexicon, it would be the infernally annoying, unthinking spouting of the inane “guyssssssssssss” at every opportunity.
There is a row rumbling in the background about the BBC having sacked all the former presenters of Countryfile (5 in all, I think) to replace them with the Blue Peter-type presenters you mention. Some senior Beeboid apparently referred to this as “refreshing” the programme and it has given rise to accusations of ageism and sexism.
Surely not at the national publicly funded broadcaster, greatest broadcaster in the world, with all those worthy charter obligations and government-imposed social clauses in its contract! Impossible it could be so dastardly, I’m sure. /sarcasm/
I see that Darryl Hannah was on The Politics Show today, telling all us plebs how to generate our own energy. So that’s all right then. Funny, isn’t it, that all these left-wing greenie celebs have all the answers to all our ills, yet do their own thing in a totally different dimension, and with their own, unique “screw the planet” indifference. They can afford to do whatever they like, and do, whilst preaching to the rest of us. Are you listening, Charles Windsor, or Gordon (Sting) Sumner, or Paul (Bono) Hewson,or the rest of you cunning, conniving hypocrites…
My first question to liberals like her is HOW MANY MILES A YEAR DO YOU FLY?
I wasn’t listening to her message unfortunately as I was busy remembering what she used to look like …..
Well said Chris!
Female beeboid (Maxine Mulwhinney I think her name is) on News 24 was Smiling as she read out Mong’s latest plan to spend money on some new Cancer care plan. Of course the Tory question about WHERE the money will come from is ignored and the only guest is someone who is totally pro and again the question of where the money will cones from (or even why Labour didn’t do it in the 13 years they’ve been in power)
Why is it that EVERY Tory proposal gets torn into by the BBC over money yet every Labour one gets the nod from the BBC?
For the umpteenth time Yasmin lost it on the BBC News 24 survey of the Sunday papers last night. She ranted on about the Independent’s revelation ( http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/thinktanks-take-oil-money-and-use-it-to-fund-climate-deniers-1891747.html ) that AGW scepticism is totally unwarranted and, yes, it’s all down to a lobby of those horrible oil companies. The Independent also takes a swipe at Steve McIntyre. What this boils down to is a “claim” by “environment experts” that a concerted attack is being mounted on warmism. The proof: Exxon has provided hundreds of thousands of pounds in sponsorship of two outfits organising conferences of sceptics.
Of course, Yasmin ignored Christopher Booker’s reports in the Sunday Telegraph ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/7176262/Climate-makes-money-move-in-mysterious-ways.html ) setting out the millions the UK government alone has spread around on – amongst many others – Pachauri’s “independent” TERI. John Torode – dignified as ever – convincingly refuted Yasmin’s bluster: unfortunately for him he implied that Yasmin was stupid: true but Yasmin was offended and JT withdrew the accusation. However, in this particular fight – the BBC interlocutor notwithstanding – Torode won hands down with Yasmin ending up looking like the stupid, opinionated, ignorant crap-monger we know and love.
What is always amazing is how the BBC rates an ignorant ranter like her with a journalist of John Torode’s standing. She should be paid to stay OFF the BBC – instead all those leftie researchers and editors use her and other loonies at every opportunity.
She’s a good reason why immigration should be stopped.
On Friday I ended up watching a rather odd BBC3 show which is sadly typical of the Beebs output and attitudes these days. It was about the danger of sunbeds which it appears are popular in certain areas especially Liverpool. The presenter was a minor celeb and member of the Girls Allowed pop group who said she was a sunbed user but then learned how dangerous they were. She came across as a pleasant enough woman if a little on the simple side and I expect the idea for the program has been thought up by her management.
Our intrepid reporterette had to go on a “journey” to discover just how dangerous these nasty machines are. As part of this she had to get dressed up to watch a skin cancer operation and got to cry a lot. The evidence of this danger consisted of a consultant telling he saw a “lot” more people with skin cancer recently. We weren’t given any figures or shown any graphs but it isn’t clear if this evidence didn’t exist or if BBC3 viewers are thought to be far to thick to handle numbers.
A dance troupe who seemed to be orange were interviewed and we learned that the poor girls didn’t have jaundice as I thought but were sunbed users. For reasons unknown thought they should keep using them despite the reporterettes tears.
So what is the solution to this problem (if indeed there is one) ? Could it be better education or a simple realisation that if a person wants to be orange it has sod all to do with anyone else ? No the only solution is regulation and the final minutes of the show was footage of meeting in the House of Commons where the reporterette gave a speech from notes and received the support of the health minister.
So in 30 minutes we got a show fronted by a Z list celeb with barely any logical evidence and which became an advert for nu-Labour. Lord Reith must be turning in his grave.
Ah, yes – that was Nicola Roberts, who surpise, surprise, has her own cosmetics company, and so has a vested interest.
Did you notice her change of look as the programme progressed?
At the start, whilst interviewing that, er, “male” person who was addicted to sun beds, and who was “orange”, Nicola’s face was deathly pale – obviously to belabour the contrast. Later on, however, her pallid visage change abruptly to a more toned look.
I don’t suppose that would be deliberate, would it? How cynical of me…
Chris thanks for the reply and I’m glad you know who she is and what a strange concidence that she owns a cosmetics business as wel 🙂
Yes the poor girl looked deathly pale during the interview with the orange “man” (I think if I were his Father I would have hidden in the shed while the TV crew were around) but that make up got slapped on later OK. She even had about an inch thick of the stuff on her face and a new hair do just to go and see some poor sod have their glands chopped out in an operating theatre.
I was waiting for the show to consider if showing endless “talent” shows on the TV gives you girls unrealistic hopes and expectations but that never happened for some reason.
I see the Beeb website is still slavishly following the line on ID cards…
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8500915.stm
Anyone catch the England Wales rugby game at Twickenham? The idiot Beeboid brigade (about 4634528364 arts graduates) couldn’t even get that right.
They have, at enormous expense no doubt, got a new “spider” camera, that shows the game from a point about 100 miles directly above the game. That’s bad enough, but what makes it even worse is the way they swivel the camera which makes the action uttery incomprehensible.
This was the worst camera footage I’ve ever seen. The vision mixing (the way you edit live between camera angles) was atrocious.
The BBC is a bad, malodorous expensive joke. Hell, they can’t even do sport. Oh but there are now a lot of wimmin reporting on rugby, so at least they’ve hit their sport “diversity targets”. Whew!
Women talking about Rugby is a joke I loved the way Martin Johnson seemed to give female beeboid such a stare after the match.
I was interested to read the comments of BBC favourite and criminal left wing activist Ricky Tomlinson, who is apparently toying with the idea of standing in the Liverpool constituency where the Labour Party have selected/imposed a candidate who has never heard of Bill Shankly. He is keen to stand, but did make the point that if elected he would have to take quite a pay cut. Obviously as a licence fee payer I have no idea what the BBC have been paying him, but he seems hesitant to step down from the most lucrative tier of the public sector.
Only “celebrities” and BBC employees can afford to be socialists.
True story. Tomlinson was my uncle’s “agent” in Liverpool in the late 80s. My uncle used to play the clubs in the area as a C/W singer/guitarist. He was also an extra in Brookie.
Tomlinson was also the “agent” to a number of artistes in the north west. Until he did a bunk to Wales with all the fees he’d been collecting and not passing over to his clients.
Thieving bastard. Isn’t that typical for a socialist thieving bastard?
I never sensed that there was so much grassroots anger against Obama in the United States:
http://www.youtube.com/user/primogennaio
But then I have been watching far too much BBC.
A fine weekend which shows the Beeb in liberal meltdown.
Heard the Friends of the Earth tearing into one Justin Rowlatt(Ethical Man on Newsnight I believe). Turns out that he hasn`t ruled out nuclear power as a solution to global warming…and that he thinks(don`t tell the plebs Justin!) that the Green Nazis…might have other agendas apart from stoppng the tears of the penguins. Social engineering taxes and compliance directives maybe?
They seem to hate their heretics from the one true faith of theirs don`t they?…and imagine he`ll get some filthy body language at the next mung bean festival!
There have been other delightful vignettes such as Jon Dimbleby telling we the little people that he can`t patronise us all from a private school (Any Questions!) because he`ll be off in Africa filming.
Not global warming presumably-but given that the Dimblebys have planes that fly on tea tree oil they will be helping the polar bears by their selfless missions to explain!
I have not watched or listened to anything for a few days ( working ) but I get the impression from the comments here and elsewhere on the blogs that the liberal elite is starting to panic. I thought I saw real panic on the face of that liberal baroness a couple of Question Times ago.
Their unreal world is about to make a harsh contact with reality. They have had a good run and all but destroyed this nation. If the pressure is maintained , as it will be, then we might see some results.
If anyone needs to take heed it is Cameron. He is beginning to look out of sync. Wrong man at the helm. AS for the BBC it is really floundering. Interesting times ahead.
Dave S – Yes I to get a strong feeling our lords and masters are more than a little scared at the moment. They were on the back foot due to the expenses scandal and that the fact that all their media management techniques to control that failed miserably. Now the AGW scam is falling apart they just don’t have a clue what to do. Its even worse for them as I think that deep inside they know the general public never fell for it but they did hook , line and sinker. It might be making some of them reconsider their own sense of self righteousness.
As for Cameron god knows I really do think he is as useless as he looks.
BBC: still putting the interests of immigrants (inc. illegal ones), ahead of those of British people:
“French police close down illegal migrant shelter”
{Note that the BBC describes the political group, ‘No Border’, mererly as “a local campaign group”.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8502991.stm
The ‘Times report has information which the BBC omits (for its own political reasons?):
[Extract]:
“Natacha Bouchart, the Mayor of Calais, said that the migrants had only got into the building because of a ‘flaw’ in policing.
“Officials had known that No Border, a hard-left migrant support group, was planning to use the building as a shelter and had ordered police to seal off the road that led to it.
“But officers let the migrants through on Saturday after activists said that they were holding a party and would clear the warehouse when it had finished.
“Instead, the migrants spent the night there.”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article7018328.ece
Perhaps the BBC will get around to this, then again..:
‘Daily Express’ reports that in the last two years alone –
“Immigrants handed 1.3 m. jobs in Britain”
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/156885/Immigrants-handed-1-3m-jobs-in-Britain
The BBC’s obsession with all things alternative continues.
I grabbed about 20 minutes of the Today programme this morning and was greeted with an interview of an ex-multi-national that lied about his cottaging activities then a Sikh judge that thinks it’s OK for Sikhs to wear a dagger and that our laws ought to change then an interview with KD Lang and her 25 years as a suinger – except that it was about her sexuality and what it is like being a lesbian.
I want my licence money back.
evan davis interviewing george younger this morning about thieving MPs’ attempts to hide behind parliamentary privilege… seamlessly Davis ‘hijacked’ the interview into one about Michael Ashcroft’s tax domicile responding to Youngers’s answers with a little mocking laugh.
Of course, Labour concern about Michael Ashcroft’s tax domicile comes from high moral principle rather than petty politicking because thanks to Ashcroft they are getting slaughtered in the marginals.
It was obviously clear that Davis (sp?) had been ‘whipped’ into this line of ‘attack’ by his political masters. And equally I expect that any Tory going anywhere near the BBC between now and the election will get the same line – and of course don’t expect any Labour/Friends of the BBC to face the same kind of ‘attack’ re the domicile of prominent Labour funders.
That it’s pathetic will worry the BBC not a jot, and that it’s pathetic journalism, sadly, will worry them not a jot either.
The envy of the world eh!

‘Guardian’:
“Luke Johnson : BBC has too much lobbying power”
[Extract]:
“‘I failed to properly understand that the BBC is the single most influential lobbying organisation in Britain,’ he said.
“‘Whether it is backbench MPs on BBC local radio, print journalists on its payroll, ministers on the Today programme, tickets to the Proms or Wimbledon or Glastonbury, when its £3.5bn ‘jacuzzi of cash’ is threatened, the entire machine dedicates itself to seeing off any rival – rather like Doctor Who and the Daleks joining forces to destroy the ultimate enemy.
“‘The favours are gently called in, the army of public affairs staff get to work, and self-preservation on steroids kicks in.
“Johnson also said the BBC had lost its nerve – unlike Channel 4 – and was now being ‘asphyxiated’ by bureaucracy and political correctness.”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/feb/08/luke-johnson-bbc
Pravda website has “Cameron attacks Brown on expenses” headline and in the item, it has a link to an audio clip – not from Cameron but from Harriet Harperson with the sub line – “Tories muddled”.
The BBC just can’t help themselves..
‘Jihadwatch’ critique of this BBC reporting on Afghan policeman bomber:
“Senior Afghan policeman held for planting bombs”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/02/an-afghan-policeman-why-wasnt.html
While much of the rest of the world is realizing that Warmism is a scam and that this whole carbon-trading scheme is little more than a money-grabbing and redistribution scheme, the Today Programme is interviewing Carbon Commisar Tim Yeo, asking if the current cost of carbon is “too low”!
Fortunately, I detect just the slightest doubt in Evan Davis’s voice when he asks about “saving the planet” and suggests that maybe keeping carbon prices low for a while longer would be better for the struggling economy. My own inference from his tone of voice aside, Global Warming caused by carbon emissions is taken as fact in this discussion, and the real purpose of the carbon trading scheme is left unchallenged.
It’s as if the few survivors of the Jonestown mass-suicide didn’t realize they had been misled by their religious leaders and instead started discussing the price of the Kool-Aid.

BBC: plugging rugby and its Mandelamania –
“It’s carry on plugging at the BBC”
http://londonersdiary.standard.co.uk/2010/02/its-carry-on-plugging-at-the-bbc.html
Compare and contrast last April’s BBC report on the Tea Party movement from Kevin Connolly:
Obama opponents rally at ‘tea parties’
with the latest BBC report on this weekend’s Tea Party Convention, featuring the BBC’s second-most hated female politician in the world:
Sarah Palin condemns Obama at first Tea Party convention
Never mind the fact that, with the exception of Connolly’s report last April, the BBC refused to tell you about the ongoing and growing story of the movement.
Last April, Connolly portrayed people like myself as just a bunch of white, middle-class, conservative Obamessiah-haters, opposed to Him, with no integrity of our own, and not to be taken seriously.
And in truth, this is not the kind of political movement that really worries governments (least of all recently elected and still-popular governments like Barack Obama’s).
And yes, he insulted us with a sexual innuendo. In news report, and not on HIGNFY or Mock the Week or anything like that.
Now that reality has smacked the Beeboids in the face that the Tea Party movement has – as I’ve said it would for the last year – grown to have real local and national influence, they have to report it. The BBC didn’t want you to know aobut it, didn’t want to think about it. Instead, you got an endless stream of White House propaganda pieces promoting the domestic agenda of a foreign government.
Not even BBC America reported on the Tea Party activity, with the exception of Connolly’s infamous report.
Finally, notice the one common thread in all BBC reporting on the Tea Parties: it’s all about opposition to Him. Even though Tea Party participant after participant tries to tell them there’s a much bigger picture here (Pelosi, Reid, debt, bailouts, etc.), the Beeboids just don’t want to hear it. To them, dutiful devotees that they are, it’s all about their beloved Obamessiah.
At least everyone here knows better than that. As I’ve said before, it must come as quite a surprise to most people in the UK, as if the whole Tea Party thing came out of nowhere.
UNBELIEVABLE! Toenails has just conducted a typical biased 6 O’Clock news political slots. “Do you want 5 more years of labour? he hads out yes/no cards in Cardiff. We are told that this is unscientific, oddly no count is given of the responses and the majority of the vox pop broadcast tell me that yes they do….
“It’s clear that there aren’t enough people who say that they want another five years of Labour…” he warbles, making no value judgements of course.
Oddly this BBC ballot box seems to give Labour an inbuilt advantage – just like the fact that the Tories have to gain 9% more votes just to ‘break even’ – never really mentioned by the BBC either.
“Somw will be asking how an officer with so much potential dissappointed so many” – BBC editorial question on the Corrupt ciminal Ali Dezaei. Odd isn’t it – why not ask how he managed to get away with it for so long by playing the race card and exploiting the politicisation of the police ‘service’. A MUCH bigger question
Ali Dizaei: ‘Daily Mail’ refers to him playing the race card, the BBC doesn’t.
‘Daily Mail’:
“A criminal in uniform: Teflon Commander Ali Dizaei used race card to dodge jail for years. Now he’s got four-year term for framing an innocent man ”

Anybody else witness the Tory ambush on newsnight with the orange female presenter?
Started off as a discussion about Parliamentary privilege and ended up with Lib Dem, LAbour and the orange presenter squeeking like an over excited gerbil.
She ought to be ashamed of herself, if that is professional behaviour then she ought to get out of the gutter – I’m sure she’ll get a promotion.
I missed the first half hour. Is the orange one our Emily? I did endure her attempt at rubbishing Michael Gove’s plan to reform our rotten state education system. Not bias just a very obvious try at misinformation and fact twisting on her part. Like all the elite no doubt quite happy for the plebs to go to rubbish schools whilst they get the best possible education for their children. The bias is just getting so obvious.
No BBC report. Because story critical of: (a) Islam; (b) non-white racism?
In contrast, ‘Daily Mail’ has:
“Christian teacher ‘forced out’ after complaining Muslim pupils praised 9/11 hijackers ‘as heroes'”
[Extract]:
“Christian teacher yesterday claimed he was forced out of his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as heroes.
Nicholas Kafouris, 52, is suing his former school for racial discrimination.
He told a tribunal that he had to leave his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the ‘racist’ and ‘anti-Semitic’ behaviour of Year 4 pupils.
The predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class and described the September 11 terrorists as ‘heroes and martyrs’.
One pupil said: ‘Don’t touch me, you’re a Christian’ when he brushed against him.
Others said: ‘We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up’, and ‘The Christians and Jews are our enemies – you too because you’re a Christian’.
Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, taught for 12 years at Bigland Green Primary School in Tower Hamlets, East London. ”

Oh — and of course, the Daily Mail has NO COMMENTS for this story.
Funny that. It must be because they couldn’t handle the thousands of pro-Mohammedan comments that would have been sent.

To discuss the Ali Dezai (sp?) ramifications on The Today Programme we had The Guardian Copper of the Year 2001/2/3/4/5/6/7 Brian Paddick and the head of the ludicrous National Black Police Association* cosily agreeing with eachother how the Met was ‘institutionally racist’, and how black police officers were ‘more likely to be disciplined’, and how black youths were more likely to be ‘stop and searched’.
What the fearless John Humphrey could have asked was the rather obvious ‘but are black police officers committing more offences’ or ‘are black youths seven times more likely to be carrying a weapon?.
But no ‘the award-winning’** BBC journalist was hiding behind the curtains like a virgin in a brothel, occasionally peeping out to see what the big people were doing.
* The definition of “Black” does not refer to skin colour (apparently).
** Have you noticed how every journalist/presenter/programme/the BBC itself is ‘award-winning’.
I could add that the ghastly Dezai’s ghastly autohagiography was (of course) Book of the Week on BBC.
This week mark’s the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has made a statement that Iran will deliver a ‘punch’ that will stun the West.
“The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman, February 11, in a way that will leave them stunned,” Khamenei, who is also Iran’s commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel according to AFP.
Just last week, Iran’s Foreign Minister said Israel was a mad nation led by an insane people.
According to the Iranian minister, “The Zionist regime in the region is in its weakest position in three years. This is the first time we see this regime facing two different and important defeats in our region, and this is the seventh time the Israeli forces have tried to enter Lebanon and force a war on the country.”
Addressing the regional situation, Mottaki said that Israel “is facing a political crisis. Following the Goldstone Report, the Zionist regime cannot engage in any other aggression.”
Iran has been ramping up the rhetoric against Israel for some time now, obviously in part to distract the people from the growing revolt against the mad mullah Government. This Thursday is the date Khamenei says will be the day Iran does whatever it is which will stun the West.
So what’s the BBC’s angle on this morning’s Today Programme on all this?
Israel ‘should consider’ military action
The United States has warned Iran it could face tougher international sanctions after announcing a step up in its uranium enrichment programme.
The move was supported by Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak who said Iran had been fooling the world about the peaceful nature of its nuclear programme.
Middle East correspondent Paul Wood investigates what action Israel might take against Iran.

Spot the missing phrase in this BBC report about the state emergency declared recently by Venezuelan dictator-for-life, Hugo Chavez. The Beeboids grant one sentence from ‘critics’ of their beloved Chavez:
Critics say poor management and the failure to invest in infrastructure over the years are to blame, a view rejected by Mr Rodriguez.
A similar Reuters report also features a word from ‘critics’. Now see if you can spot the phrase missing from the BBC effort:
But critics say poor management and under-investment have undermined the power grid and exposed the failings of Chavez’s “21st century socialism” policies during his 11-year rule.
Come see the bias inherent in the system.
No doubt all British non-Muslims are eagerly anticipating the screening tonight (BBC 2 10 pm) of part 5 (of 6) of the BBC’s apartheid engendering:

Rather a tetchy presenter on PM this afternoon interviewing the Tory M.P. persuing the BBC over revelation of salaries, It would appear that the BBC is starting to get the idea that payback time might be approaching.
Shame the M. P. didn’t ask the presenter if he was worried about his salary being revealed as if run of the mill newsreaders are on more than an M.P. a major player like the presenter must be on twice that.
ITV News at Ten led with the carry on troughing ruling for “out of town” peers, BBC News made not a mention of the outrageous decision, neither did it feature in ceefax. Has the BBC decided to avoid ruffling the feathers of the Parliamentarians?
