MASS IMMIGRATION: Labour’s Lies, BBC’s compliance.
The ‘Daily Telegraph’ has an important report today which the BBC is relegating politically.:
“Labour’s ‘secret plan’ to lure immigrants”
..”the Conservatives demanded an independent inquiry into the issue. It was alleged that the document showed that Labour had overseen a deliberate open-door policy on immigration to boost multi-culturalism.
“Voting trends indicate that migrants and their descendants are much more likely to vote Labour. ”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/7198329/Labours-secret-plan-to-lure-migrants.html
‘Telegraph View’:-
“The Deceit of Labour’s Immigration Policy”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/7199457/The-deceit-of-Labours-immigration-policy.html
BBC’s ‘Analysis’ of Immigration:
“Did Immigration transform Britain by accident?”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8494275.stm
Will BBC get around to this?:
“Paying the price for a decade of deception”
(by Sir Andrew Green, of ‘Migrationwatch’)

Not a case of bias, but certainly a weird slant on things – 5live yesterday, when discussing the arrest of a person on suspicion of the murder of PC Blakelock, the beeboid “breaking news” reporter, when recounting events, ended with – “PC Blakelock later died in hospital from his injuries”. Eh?
Robert Peston seems to think that the departure of some regulator no-one’s heard of is embarrasing for the Tories. Apparantly Hector Sants, yes the Hector Sants, disagrees with one of their policies so this must be the reason for his resignation and somehow this makes it an embarrassment.
Yet on Today this morning Kraft’s closure of a Cadbury plant one week after Peter Mandelson said he would try to safeguard jobs was described by him as just perhaps a slight embarrassment.
Actually Brown and Mandy said they wouldn’t allow jobs to go from Cadbury. The BBC played that sound bite over and over at the time and NEVER once allowed anyone from the Tories to give a different view.
Now of course the BBC won’t even play it to show Brown lied.
A very good spot, Roland, because Sants isn’t, of course leaving over some ideological schism with the baby eating Tories. Contrast the BBCs “because it is an open secret in the City that he is opposed to the Tories’ plan for breaking up the FSA and transferring the supervision and regulation of banks to the Bank of England.”
..with the Telegraphs description of his “elegant” exit:
“If you have been chief executive of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the UK’s primary financial regulator, why would you want to become second fiddle in the event of a merger with the Bank of England?”
So he’s leaving just before the implementation of a Tory policy to abolish his job….and the BBC think that because he doesn’t like the idea of his own job being abolished he’s somehow impartial?
Good spot. Peston loves regulators, and regular readers of his blog will know just how close he likes to dance around the line between a market economy and a de facto command economy. Sure, he wrung his hands over Gordon Brown sitting on the board of banks a while back, but nearly all his other posts and appearances on air have been essentially in support of as much regulation and emasculation of financial organs as possible. So no wonder he tries to play the Tories as less than competent because they aren’t going to be draconian about it, and do things the way Peston would prefer.
Peston’s latest post shows that he’s letting himself be partisan again. It’s a total defense of Cadbury, not a word about broken promises from Lord M and Mr. Brown. He even makes a case that Cadbury’s intellectual property is actually more important than the jobs which disappeared. It’s silly because the concern which got the most play was about jobs. This concern wasn’t really overwrought either, considering the recent job losses in the auto industry for similar reasons.
But Peston can’t even bring himself to mention what I remember Martin saying here at the time of the takeover: the government couldn’t actually do anything to preserve those jobs even if they wanted to, and it was phoney of Brown and Mandelson to even do it. He wasn’t so shy about erroneous promises back when there wasn’t an election at stake.
Instead, Peston dutifully sweeps that under the rug and speaks unblinkingly for the defense, trying to lose his readers in a sea of detail about shares and takeovers, which really shouldn’t be the point of this at all. It’s all a big will o’ the wisp argument to distract the reader from the phoney promises about keeping jobs. Of course, to admit that would mean Peston saying that Mandelson and Brown weren’t on the ball and missed some details. Can’t do that, election at stake, make a post about Cameron’s inadequacy instead.
Peston even blows a kiss to Vince Cable’s appearance on Today, which I’m sure is very helpful for the BBC’s desired Labour/LibDem coalition.
More predictable anti-Israel reportage in he odious Today Programme. The Lebanese PM accuses Israel os “making threats”. Ho hum. Nothing to do with Iranian aggression via its neo-Nazi scum terror bitches Hezbollah, of course. When the vacuous Beeboid hackette was asked if indeed Hezbollah was rearming for war, her response was entirely predictable: “Israel says it is”.
There is so much evidence of this that it is a plain fact (even the UN agrees). But of course, this might disturb the BBC meme that whatever ther story…. Israel is at fault.
Israel should recognise the BBC for what it is – their mortal enemy – and act accordingly.
Israel should recognise the BBC for what it is – their mortal enemy – and act accordingly.
Shoot on sight? =-O
No, just remove acreditation – explaining why – and kicking them out. Especially the Kapo brigade (Tim Franks, Katya Adler etc).
Michael Crick fresh from trying to tell everyone that the Tory’s elect leaders by AV (some amusing phisking in the thread http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/michaelcrick/2010/02/how_av_made_cameron_tory_leade.html) is very upset that at David Cameron’s announcement on Monday about transparency wasn’t held in front of UCL students at UCL.
How does he know? And does this even matter?
Well he stands up this story on the basis on one unnamed source (who remarkable knows what every student at UCL looks like) and the UCL President, the remarkably apolitcal Student Union President Mr Joseph Bitrus, who just happens to have included photos of himself on his facebook pages in warm embrace with a certain former Labour mayor of London.
Now, what was Mr Crick saying about transparency?
Unlike Gordon Brown who is not elected by anyone in the Labour party and also runs England a Country that forms 90% of the population of the UK yet not one person can actually vote HIM out of office.
I see the BBc line on it’s squandermania is that it “only” spends around 7% of income on the “talent” -what a drivelling word that is. This presumably means we are getting value for the forced tax. What on earth do they spend the rest on?
Apart from the executives.
A couple of examples of the “talent” that the BBC inflicts on us at a very high price. Both specimens remarkably ugly looking. At least one of them looks like a scruff, if not a down and out, and considering that this is a visual medium, would anyone really say that that unshaven tramp look-alike merits anything like a million a year for presenting a few shows? What talent does he have, exactly? Lounging on a sofa or sitting at a desk reading an autocue. The other – well, I have always failed to see the charm in any previous TV shows that he did on ITV or wherever it was. Silly, loud yoof shows presented by a shouty bloke with an unattractive voice for broadcasting. Talent?

I could go on.
The only people who earn their corn at the BBC is the Top Gear team who must bring in millions a year in sales, does Ross do that?
Brown got a kicking off Cameron at PMQ’s, yet on Radio 5 John Pinhead sees it the other way. Biased the BBC?
He is insane. Brown is lamentable. If I were Cameron i wouldn’t bother. Just ask him about the weather and Saturday’s football. it would be just as informative.
Following PMQs today, the BBC are running the following ticker:
LATEST:
PM says Tories must answer questions over Lord Ashcroft’s tax status
Nothing about:
PM never answers a single question
How we are going to repay national debt
This is the same point that the Orange Lady began on Newsnight on Monday – a theme being developed by the BBC at the taxpayers expense methinks.
Andrew Neil was asking about Labour non doms that give loads of cash. Labour tool states it’s the amount of money that Ashcroft has. Andrew Neil says so it’s not the principle then. No answer from Labour droid.
I’ve written a piece on the blog – for anyone that’s interested – covering the Panorama Jerusalem story that Sue wrote up a couple of weeks ago; but in the context of who’s behind some of the ‘rioting’. You may be surprised (or not).
None of this was mentioned by Pan Araborama, naturellement 😉
Wow. Hundreds of private sector jobs go every day and the BBC hardly mentions it (Corus and Cadbury’s being two) yet a Council decides to shed a few jobs and the BBC is up in arms.
Government jobs = good. The State will provide for us all. The State will take care of us. Government employment is key right now, as the BBC has no faith in (nor love for) the private sector. Don’t expect insular Beeboids to understand what happens to the Treasury when it’s paying out more to employess than bringing in from their taxes.
Top al-BBBCeera story at the moment is their mate Binyam Mohammed – who appears to be on his way to winning the UK Jihad Lottery without ever having been a Briton *DONT_KNOW*
I’ve noticed as well the spin the bBC have being putting on their favorite little terrorist (How long before they make it into a kids program) anyway while reading about his latest abuse of the British legal system. I noticed the bBC writes this as why he got arrested;
Mr Mohamed, a 31-year-old Ethiopian granted refugee status in Britain in 1994, was arrested in Pakistan in 2002 over a visa irregularity .
Where in reality he tried to board a plane by using a false passport and was actually allowed to leave and he was arrested when he (and one other) tried again for a second time using another false (British) passport.
There is a good piece here by Con Coughlin
“When the next bomb goes off in London, blame the judges ”
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/concoughlin/100025663/when-the-next-bomb-goes-off-in-london-blame-the-judges/
I would add “and the BBC”.
So the BBC is now claiming that Binyam Mohamed was tortured. They apparently define torture as sleep deprivation, shackles, and a few theatrical threats. Unbelievable.
Richard Littlejohn, re-Binyam Mohamed (one year ago):
“The BBC is already rolling out the red carpet and slicing the onions for its credulous presenters so they can cry on cue.
This is another one of those occasions when I wonder: is it me? Were it not for all the emails and letters I’ve received from Mail readers, I’d think I was dancing in the dark.
How many more times? By no stretch of the imagination is Binman even a British ‘resident’.
He’s an Ethiopian citizen, who left Britain voluntarily for Taliban-run Afghanistan in 2001 after converting to Islam, and was arrested a year later in Pakistan trying to board a plane using a false passport. That, alone, should have barred him from ever returning ‘home’.
His sister has flown from Ethiopia to be reunited with him. Why wasn’t he flown straight to Ethiopia? Or handed over to Pakistan?
Soon he’ll be on the chat show circuit, followed by a lucrative book deal and, inevitably, a multi million-pound claim for com-pensay-shun under the yuman rites act.
He must think that all his birthdays have come at once.
Meanwhile, the usual useful idiots will have a field day, filling their boots with legal aid, and using his unsubstantiated claims of torture to bash America and undermine our own security services. Makes you proud to be ‘British’. ”

Philadelphia is getting hit by another snowstorm this morning, so schools and government offices are shut down until the roads are cleared. This includes the University of Pennsylvania. Apparently Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann was supposed to give a colloquium on Warmism today.
But don’t worry: as Richard Black preached the other day, it’s only weather. Other Warmists will no doubt soon be reminding us that one of the tenets of Warmism is that AGW will alter the Gulf Stream and cause excessive winters. All previous excessive winters in history may not have been caused by evil humans, but don’t let that bother you.
And check out Mann’s own website. He has the chutzpah to pose with a slice of tree rings.
Daily Politics today, PMQs.
I thought the big story would be that fat, stupid, corrupt Labour MP, Jim Devine ( being prosecuted for fraud) had his name down for the first question, but wasn’t called.
Not mentioned at all on the Daily Politics.
Now, if that had been a Tory MP….
Also Ben Bradshaw and the ludicrous Shirley Williams seemed unsure how many of their parties’ donors are non-doms.
Andrew Neil blotted his copy-book by referring to non-doms and the “90-day” rule which, as any tax specialist, but no journalists, realise applies to residence, not domicile.

The ignorant, talentless, moron, Adrian Chiles is married to BBC executive Jane Garvey. No nepotism there then !
He was but they got divorced last year after he left his wife and two young children and allegedly started dallying with his young co=presenter on The One Show – her fiance in Northern Ireland broke off their engagement claiming that Ugly Chops was always hanging around her flat, apparently. (Any shenanigans between them has always been denied by both. But…well, who knows?)
Leaving his wife and children took place after he hit the BBC Big Time (also known as prime-time show, general ubiquity and a million a year), following which his wife gave up her full-time job to work only a few days a week because she was now in the happy position of not having to work because of how well Hubby was doing. Little did she know how it was going to turn out. You couldn’t make it up.
Shouldn’t it be called THE TALENTLESS-ONE SHOW?
Isn’t Adrian Chiles original Croatian name NAIRDA SELIHC?
Be careful. Adrian Chiles is the future. We will be governed. hectored at, judged and eventually incarcerated by people just like dear little Adrian. He and his like , secure in the certainty of their illusions, are going to inherit the earth. We will look upon them with awe and marvel at their intelligence, their humanity and their beauty. Truly they will lead us upon the paths of righteousness.
Even at the point of a gun.
I know everyone is as concerned as I am about Mark Mardell’s suffering during the recent snowstorm in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, it looks like he’ll have to suffer even more from the storm hitting now.
25 percent of D.C. snowplows out of commission
I hope Mardell doesn’t project this local government incompetence on the rest of the country again.
It’s all FEMA’s fault. Why hasn’t the White House sorted all this out yet ?
Millie 19:24
Thank you for updating me on the gossip, I really must keep up !
But, you are right, you couldn’t make it up.
However much the little Beeboids mess around , they still end up with pots of money !
But all is not well on the BBC One sofa: there is a coda to this tale of marital and affianced disengagement, which it is rather remiss of me not to have included. How could I forget?
Co-presenter Bleakely (sp?) was photographed in the company of a well known footballer towards the end of last year and now appears well established by copious photography etc (and not denied by either party) that they are indeed stepping out.
Said footballer is a household name (“Lamps” – 😉 ) and I believe a member of the England team and possibly in the club that harbours one by-now-notorious ex-England captain (though I am not that well up in who plays for which team.)
Said footballer has, it is reported, recently separated from partner and young children, with partner regularly reported as declaring to still love him.
Meanwhile, back on the sofa when the One Show resumed in the New Year, things were reported not to be going at all well, with Chiles turning up dishevelled and generally looking like a vagrant, with several days’ unshaven growth and allegedly grumpy as hell. I am sorry that I missed seeing this but it created a stir online.
After the online outcry and almost overwhelmingly negative reaction to Chiles the down and out, it was reported that he was about to shave off the untamed growth and clean up.
Unfortunately, this plan was aborted following the guest appearance on the One Show of fairy godmother, Luvvy, Whatsername who presents Crimewatch (on BBC One, natch) who out of the blue declared that the beard and Chiles were looking uncommonly handsome! I kid you not.
And to put the tin hat on it, another Luvvy turned up (Davina McCall) and made uncannily similar approving and complimentary noises. Isn’t that just the very definition of Luvvydom? There was now no going back. Sure enough, no sooner than they had delivered the required tribute to Scruff, than he declared that he would keep the beard after all.
Never mind what viewers might think.
And that’s, as far as I know it, the Saga of the Talent (or rather, What Happens When Too Much Money Fame and Adulation are Handed to Silly, UNtalented People and It Goes To Their Head).
Have not seen any further discussions of the progress of Scruff or the Beard.
So my Sky box flips over to BBC4 to watch the next episode of MAD MEN… but it’s a bit early so I get the last couple of minutes of SYRIAN SCHOOL.
A friggin’ series about a school in Damascus. From a country run by a bunch of psychotic Jew hating Mohammedans, who would slit your throat as soon as piss on you infidels.
What in God’s … sorry, I mean ALLAH’S name is going on at the BBC?
Muslim Driving School… Syrian School…. Israel hatred 24/7/…
Are these effers not going to be satisfied until it’s ALL ALLAH, ALL THE TIME?
Tonight on EASTENDERS, something really funny happens in the Mosk. Tonight on Casualty the local MP consecrates the newly refurbished hospital mosk… blah blah blah blah blah
And on the news 4 white Christian women blow themselves up on the underground. I think not.
Is this the program SYRIAN SCHOOLS you refer to?
Despite rarely finding itself out of the headlines, the Middle East is frequently misunderstood. Syrian School goes beyond the clichés to meet the human face of a fast growing young population, whose
government is modernising the education system to encourage a generation of children able to think for themselves. This unique series looks at a fascinating country through the eyes of its schoolchildren, their families and their teachers.
All this in a country which puts huge restrictions on the gratest source of information the Internet. Opening up an Internet café in Syria? Good luck
A highlight of this first term is the visit to the school of the young and fashionable wife of the Syrian President, to inspire the girls at a business workshop at the school.
Just a regular ‘Observational Documentary’ of a typical institution, then?
I haven’t seen so much obsequious marketing since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Read if your stomach can take it.
Ayatollah Khamenei, Supreme Mad Mullah of Iran, has promised that Iran will stun its enemies on Thursday, February 14. I mentioned the BBC’s silence and anti-Israel bias on this matter yesterday.
The BBC is still silent today, so if something happens (probably a massive bloody crackdown on people against the mullahs). But that hasn’t let them stop betraying their bias on Iran and – of course – the US. As most people know, the US President’s original tactics (which Justin Webb praised at the time) have failed utterly, and He now has to rachet up the sanctions on Iran. The BBC is dutifully on side, as their hypocrisy is equalled only by their sycophancy.
Gone are the criticisms of US foreign policy, replaced by gentle frowns in the direction of Iran. And speaking of sycophants, Mark Mardell wades in wondering when the rest of the world will join the US in standing up to Iran. The Beeboids really are unbelievable.
Contrast Mardell’s obedient herald act to these BBC bits from what Matt Frei often referred to on air as “the grim years of the Bush Administration”:
Why Europe feels left out in the cold
In particular, Mr Bush’s “axis of evil” speech in January rankled with many on the Continent, who have sought a more conciliatory approach to so-called rogue states like Iran.
Notice the unflattering image of Bush they managed to find. Ever seen one yet of The Obamessiah?
Iran blasts US criticism
The issue of Iran is said to have revived the split between moderates in the Bush administration who favour diplomacy and hardliners who prefer more robust action.
Any split in the Obamessiah Administration on this issue, BBC?
Iran hails UN nuclear ‘victory’
Any stories about Iran thumbing The Obamessiah’s eye on the nuclear issue, BBC?
When Bush acted unilaterally, it was poor diplomacy. He was a cowboy, a danger. But when the BBC’s favorite world leader does it, they’re wondering why everyone else isn’t following Him.
SPOT ON!!!
It’s worse than you thought, the date is actually 11 Feb, today!

I thought the BBC didn’t approve of military dictatorships !
Anyone else hear Dennis McShane on Radio 5 this morning? Talking ot Nicki Campbell he claimed that Greece was in a mess because of “a Conservative Government”, he repeated this comment several times and Campbell didn’t really point out that we’ve been under a Socialist Government for 14 years and are in the same mess.
McShane has one of the most punchable faces in politics.
Pro-EU, BBC doesn’t discuss this:
“Now we have to bail out the Euro”
http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/157446
The BBC has scores of its staff who are supposed to cover economic and financial matters relating to the British people, but the possibility that the pro-EU Labour government may soon be demanding about £3.5b from British taxpayers to pay for Greece’s debts, is avoided by the BBC.
Perhaps that figure of £3.5b is insignificant to the BBC. After all, it only the same as what British licencepayers pay the BBC each year.
The only way for Britain to be clear of the EU empire is to get out completely, not just out of the Euro as now.
And the only way for the British people to be clear of the BBC is to….
For BBC:
“Britain may be forced to bail out Greece”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/7207536/Britain-may-be-forced-to-bail-out-Greece.html
George. Oh did I miss us joining the Euro?
I’ve seen it suggested on the internet that the UK is obliged under the Lisbon Treaty to help bail out Greece, even though it’s not in the Euro zone. The complete silence from the BBC on this matter suggests to me it may be true, but does anyone know?
You can be certain that the Greek crisis will be used as a “beneficial crisis” by the EU to say that further political integration is necessary and that the BBC will be in the vanguard promoting this view.
All I learnt from BBC ‘Breakfast’ Radio 5′ Jack Izzard (Europe reporter) is that BBC’s Sheila Fogarty has ‘probably got drachmas in her drawers’
Check about 10 mins. in:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00qn0ht/5_live_Breakfast_11_02_2010/
The BBC is ranting on again about Binyam M. (damn his eyes) – and “torture”.
Doesn’t sound much like torure to me. And nothing like the “torture” meted out to all those people in the World Trade Centre, tortured by the decision whether to jump or not from the blazing building. Or the pain of the survivors of 7/7 in London and the pain of the families of those killed by these murdering bastards.
Anyone who thinks that Binyan did not mean murderous harm to us is a flaming idiot.
http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NWRlYzg4YzlkYzk5NDIyYzdlZjdhNjhlOTEzZGEyOTk=
What I find interesting is how the BBC stance themselves over this. Yes male beeboids are sexually aroused at the site of a big bushy beard and s on. But there is no criticism of Labour, in fact today I heard David Davis from the Tories getting pounded on by a beeboid as if somehow this is the fault of the Tories.
Sorry but am I missing something, who has been running the UK for the last 13 years?
Ethiopian Muslim, and BBC poster boy, Binyam Mohamed was picked up on a false passport in Pakistan; if the BBC wants to concentrate on torture in Pakistan, it can report the activities of our enemy, the Islamic jihad, Taliban:

Scabby Logan on radio five just stated that the climate change mob at CRU had their emails hacked into by ‘climate change sceptics’. Has this been proven? I thought there was an investigation ongoing, so how can scabby say that?
Harrabin is getting a right kicking on Radio 5 right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harrabin keeps referring to the emails as being stolen yet as i posted above there is no evidence, but Harrabin is clearly up the arse of the CRU.
You see Martin, the “truth” demanded of BBC commentators is not the “truth” you and I might recognise: it doesn’t have to align with any underlying facts and, anyway, those “underlying facts” don’t have to be disclosed: if someone from the BBC says such-and-such is true then it’s true by virtue of being issued by the BBC. It’s the same mind-set as among the warmist scientists: don’t reveal the raw data or the amended data or the computer model algorithms – just take their word. If you don’t just take their word youre in the same boat as David Irving. Except, of course, David Irving’s “denialism” is rather more acceptable to for a BBC broadcast ( http://www.expatica.com/de/news/local_news/david-irving-repeats-holocaust-denial-in-interview-28035.html ) than your (and my) scepticism on AGW.
Repeat the lie (or in this case, favoured version of current emerging truth) often enough…
I believe it is a leaky version of ‘watertight oversight’, where if you don’t like it the hatches get battened down, but if its got more holes in than a sieve, give it go as no one may notice.
Like, what’s the worse that could happen? A dawn outing on Newswatch?
If climate change skeptics really did hack into the CRU email system, did they do it on a lark, on the blind hope that they’d find something? The only other alternative is that they knew fraud was going on at the CRU, and needed to get proof. But the BBC can’t say that, can they?
Interview I mentioned now up
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00pstbv
Scabby Logan… Ha ha. Funneee dude.
It’s taken the BBC two days to get around to covering the murder of an Israeli soldier by a member of the Palestinian police.
They’ve only covered it today because they can spin it as unconnected with any “militant” group and because the murdering scum was “suicidal”, as if that’s something new!
Israeli soldier’s alleged killer ‘was tired of life’
Of course those nasty Jews wouldn’t oblige and the murderer is still alive.
What’s more, get this, those “militants” are no longer even that… they are actually “men”!
I kid you not!
Earlier, two sisters, aged five and 13, had been injured in cross-fire between Palestinian men and Israeli troops, Israeli media reported.
I hope the IDF carry out ballistics tests on the bullets that injured those kids. I’d bet a penny to a pound they weren’t fired by the IDF

Bacon shouting at Price about possibly ruining Labour’s chances of victory, not happy, his lefty views shining through. Compare how Bacon was laughing at George W Bush the other day and running clips of Bushism’s when talking to the guy who was Bush’s speech writer.
Really quiote amusng isn’t it?
He has so far said three times that he wants to go into the history of the 16 other PMs in the book yet keeps coming to back to this
Quite clealry loyalty to the party/leader is far more important than competence or civility to ones colleagues
Bacon made no attempt to hide his hatred of Price for this story.
Even for Richard Bacon this was an almost unbeleiveable interview. The disbelief that someone could possibly scupper Labour’s election chances was palpable and he just couldn’t stop asking the same question over and over again. I was impressed by Lance Price’s restraint as he was questionned about the Gordon Brown chapter again and again as Richard Bacon kept failing to move on to the other chapters. http://notasheepmaybeagoat.blogspot.com/2010/02/puzzled-and-angry-richard-bacon.html
That was hilarious. Bacon’s position in sum: Never mind objectivity or balance – it’s wrong to print something that might be damaging to the Prime Minister, true or not.
Bacon is an ex drug addict by the way, so ideal BBC material.
It’s only wrong if it’s a Labour Prime Minister.
Not one letter or text so far from anyone outside the Labour Party or an active supporter
Yes and I texted and emailed several times about Bacon’s attitude and the fact Brown is mad.
The evil that the BBC’s poster-boy Binyan was up to, and his MILD treatment at Guantanamo, is well described here :
As usual, our loony judges are caving in to a terrorist non-citizen and his ‘uman rites – for damn all cause.

It is to laugh. Barbara “Tears for Arafat” Plett has not only said that The Obamessiah’s current stance on Iran is “not unlike” that of George Bush, but is clearly beginning to consider regime change.
From engagement to confrontation with Iran
The president sounded not unlike his predecessor George W Bush, who worked for years to contain Iran, a sign that Mr Obama’s policy to engage with the Islamic Republic has failed.
The question now is whether a new round of sanctions would be any more successful than those imposed under Mr Bush’s watch.
I love it when reality forces the BBC to change their tune. It wasn’t so long ago that they were praising President Obamessiah’s appeasement tactics. Now they admit it didn’t work.
Of course, since this is the BBC we’re talking about, it’s not really His fault:
Last year the P5+1 offered Iran a compromise proposal in which it could send most of its low-grade nuclear fuel abroad for further enrichment.
Iran accepted, hedged, then rejected the proposal. This week it announced it would make the higher grade fuel itself.
The confusion has hardened the US view that sanctions are now the only way forward.
“Confusion”. Remember that word.
And in case you doubt that it’s not His fault:
“We’ve bent over backwards to say to the Islamic Republic of Iran that we are willing to have a constructive conversation about how far they can align themselves with international norms and rules,” said Mr Obama.
“They have made their choice so far.”
Was it ever Iran’s fault when Bush was President? I forget.
Plett finishes her piece by a little scare-mongering about Israel (she can’t help herself, I know), and then quoting people who state the case for regime change – without the negative editorializing we usually get from Beeboids about regime change. Funny, that.
I’m enjoying the BBC’s cognitive dissonance. They’re having a difficult time here, so they project this on everyone else with the Confusion Narrative:
Iran confuses again with ‘further enrichment’
Iran’s announcement that it will further enrich its stock of uranium adds to suspicion of its ultimate intentions but leaves the United States and its allies as confused as ever.
The light dawns slowly at the BBC.
The Bacon/Lance Price interview was funny. Bacon very much batting for Gordon and Labour.
I don’t think that at any point it was mentioned that Price was a 17 year Beeb man, with the last 7 years as a politcal correspondent, before moving in 1998 to become Alastair Campbell’s number two at New Labour. Yes, an ‘impartial’ Beeboid became a senior Labour spin doctor – there’s a shock.

Strange how that nutter in Iran has today stated that his country are able to enrich uranium to 80% – the amount needed for a nuclear bomb, yet for some strange reason the BBC are only reporting him saying what they have acheived (20%). Why oh why, are they downplaying his threat?
Strange that the BBC do manage to report that he says the West are the ones hampering reform in Iran.
The BBC like this Hitler wannabe.

Beeboids are notoriously useless with numbers except when it comes to their own salaries and expenses.

Adrian Chiles. Thanks for more gossip. I am surprised he is old enough to grow a beard , but he probably doesn’t know how to shave it off. The first time is always tricky.
Either way he has a face like a smacked bottom.

I just listened to it. My first time with Radio 5 and Gabby Logan !
The first giveaway was her question to Mike Hulme about climategate.
” How much damage has this done to the debate “. Unbelievable !
How stupid is she ? I am trying to find if she has any science qualifications, but it seems not.
Also the first time I have heard Harribin. What a prat. No science background either, but he was boasting that he knows more than some eminent Professors of Science.
Richard North was excellent, but , of course , interrupted by gabby Gabby when he wasn’t syeing what she wanted to hear.
Where does the BBC find thickos like Gabby Logan ? It beggars belief.
Well she was once on Strictly Come Dancing oh and she’s a die hard Labour supporter. So perfect BBC material.
BBC ‘PM’ radio 4: presenter Ms. Carolyn Quinn, indulged herself by talking about McQueen fashion (for about 12 minutes ), and about Mandela of 20 years ago.
YES how typical of the BBC to big up some nomark fashion designer. Meanwhile a few more soldiers are blown to bits by Muslims.
