SHIRL THE PEARL…

Anyone have the stomach to listen to this grovelling interview by Naughty with Baroness Williams, that doyen of so many BBC programmes? The easy questions thrown her way contrast with those given to any Conservative figure but, then again, when you hear Shirley Williams talking you are hearing the political thinking of the BBC made manifest…

    and he ended so obsequiously – “Thank you (so) very much (indeed).  The whole tone of the interview was genuflucting.

    I remember seeing Williams in action back in Callaghan’s government.  She was a silly bat then – now she’s a silly old bat,  but the BBC gives her endless time for her unctious droning on.

    “Every society loves its dead rebels and its living toadies”

    Williams is the ultimate BBC gargoyle-wealthy, private school,famous “feminist mum”…cue fawning by Jenni Murray and Libby Purvis etal.

    She has long been a toothless gummy bear beloved of the BBC as opposed toThatcher-who DID actually change things girls!

    She is safe and batty like Warnock, so is to be indulged. The ultimate soggy dream of the linen suits in media land who have seen her rise from committee to focus group rather like Bakewell and the other “voices from the care home that THEY will never need to visit or sell their houses to get into!Yet note the cow eyes and handwringing concern whilst they bleed their sisters dry!

    In short,Williams is the personification of privilege, posturing grandstanding ; sheer incompetence and ineffectiveness that the BBC and the liberal elite love! Unlike Powell she does not yet know that her political life will end in failure-indeed it failed back in 1976,but Naughtie won`t say so-because he fails everyday and calls it progressive politics!

    Williams is the vandal who has primary responsibility – along with fellow champagne socialist – Tony Crosland – for destroying our secondary educational system.  She is also – as Christoper Hichens pointed out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEVA4EAP_S0&feature=related a moral coward and (therefore?) heroine of the political class who supports Islamic threats against freedom of speech in the UK.

    Her mum wrote ‘Testament of Youth’, a book I had to read at school and one of the dullest books ever written. It’s po-faced socialism and grim feminism would doubtless appeal to many a beeboid though.

    Umbongo.  Thanks for that link. I think right at the end of the clip Shirl is trying to chat to Dimblebore.  But, yes she is one of the most worthless, useless, liberal lefties imaginable. A very stupid woman.
