The leaders’ debate opinions of Radio Five Live’s Interactive Editor Brett Spencer this evening (click on image to enlarge):
Clearly Mr Spencer fears no repercussions for his anti-Cameron opinions. After all, inside the BBC bubble he’s not saying anything contentious.
Update April 23, 11 am. He’s now removed the oh-so-witty remarks about Cameron’s forehead, as well as a tweet which said “Brown seems well ahead to me, and is now playing his joker” (Beeb Bias Craig quoted that one before its removal, and one person retweeted it). Spencer’s still angry that YouGov called it for Cameron – he’s banging on about it again this morning. I doubt the pollsters will be too concerned by the opinions of someone who thought Brown won the debate.
Update 2, 4pm. Brett Spencer has now removed all tweets relating to the leaders’ debate and the YouGov poll.
Update 3, 5.20pm. And now…
and my licence fee is paying for this idiot to spout his political views. dont they have any sense of ethics or maintaining a veil of neutrality. plus they all think they are witty and acerbic. i should cancel my licence fee but i like watching other tv programmes on non bbc channels. but i think i will take the plunge soon so atleast these things wont annoy me much
I’m sure he’s just as frustrated by the BBC’s alleged impartiality rules as Chris Summers and Marcus Brigstock have recently admitted they are.
It doesn’t look like he is! Although these guys are so bratty they probably stamp their feet over the fact we have elections at all in this country and they dont have full rein to be the Stasi of the airwaves.
Surely even the BBC has standards and so on that requires its staff to behave in a professional manner at all times?
It surprises me that the BBC allows its staff, especially high profile ones (even this clown), to post sh1t on twitter without thought.
Mailman
Somebody should combine this with the admissions from Summers and Brigstock into one nice package to send to Tory HG and ConservativeHome and anyone else you can think of.
The BBCs own labour toady Nick Robinscum was on form as usual I see.
All three party leaders arrived at the same door past the same anti war(leftist rabble)but according to Nick Robinscum only Cameron was jeered and attacked.
It seems the leftist rabble only blames Cameron for the war against islam, funny that seeing how it was labour that took us into the illegal quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Nick Robinson, always up the arse of labour.
While, on the other hand, this is how MSN UK News saw it:
“Gordon Brown was met with a chorus of booing from the protesters as he pulled up to the Arnolfini arts centre. As the Prime Minister got out of his car, the jeering escalated and demonstrators goaded him over megaphones.”
Head of all things digital and interactive at BBC Radio 5 Live. Views are personal not those of the BBC. Mostly.
Maybe the BBC could clarify?
They evidently have advised on what coporation twitterers can stick up in their bio top right to attract attention, but create a weasel that allows them to wave the BBC banner but not be associated with it much, as such…
Evan HD – Yes, this is the bloke on the Radio 4 Today programme, Dragons’ Den and the Bottom Line. These are my views, not those of the BBC.
Interestingly, just watched Digital Rory Cellan Jones on Breakfast News explaining how important Twitter has been/is/will/be, selecting various tweets to make his point as only a BBC editor can.
With some irony, he made the point that this rather niche medium with vast undue influence (there were a lot of folk in the pub last night watching SKY… Sport) can easily be distorted by activists skewing things.
Or the national broadcaster and its minions, it seems.
If this is how they perceive other broadcast rules, heaven help any candidate when David Dimbleby has been briefed (and doubtless will be helped) to trip up and/or assist to taste.
Teleprompter reader asks co-guest gob Keven Maguire if he can avoid partisan comments in ‘commenting’.
Silly question; that’s why he’s invited on… all the time.
Cue ‘Tory-Boy’ ad hom jibe, to giggles all round. They must be so proud. Another set of rules deftly broken as it suits!
The rabid rightie Daily Mail guest was pretty courteous considering.
I might have voted Tory if they showed any backbone with those stabbing them in the back all the time.
Just popped back to the live tweet feed linked to and can’t seem to locate many if not all of the tweets captured. Am I looking in the wrong place, or has another BBC retroactive editorial assault taken place?
If so, effective inasmuch as I was going to link to these quotes but now cannot, though perhaps not grasping the ongoing effect of playing fast and loose, combined with what is stored in archives/caches.
Surely the point, quite apart from the rampant bias, is that the arsehole got it wrong anyway. Anybody unbiased must have seen that Cameron won the debate.
What Stewart said, plus ‘Cameron has a big forehead’ gags?
Really? Is that the type of cutting edge commentary only the ‘uniquely funded’ BBC can provide?
FOX NEWS in the US gave the UK debate more prime time airtime than the BBC!
AS to BIG FOREHEAD gags, only a myopic BBC-AH could seriously make fun of Cameron when the one-eyed GIANT POTATO HEAD BROWN is standing there in all his repulsive glory.
I’ve tried to ignore the horrific left wing bias from the BBC during this election campaign but this one tipped me over the edge.
What an absolute clown this chap is. I decided I had to complain. Guess what, complaints via the BBC site are not possible…
This might be because:We are experiencing abnormal traffic to our network or the service or servers it is on is not currently available.
Or how about you deliberately took the service down so none of us can tell you enough is e-fecking-nuff!!!
The more Cameron tries to ingratiate himself with the BBC the more they treat him as a joke and the more genuine conservatives have contempt for him.
The Conservative Party has a media monitoring unit. The BBC knows full well that whatever its findings Cameron doesn’t have the balls to act on them.
His biggest priority in power will be to implement policies that will make the BBC happy so they wont be too against him come the next election. This will mean continuing the pogrom mounted against Christians by cultural Marxists and letting homosexuals have access to little boys in schools to teach them buggery is normal. Oh brave new England. … HAPPY ST. GEORGE’S DAY MY FELLOW YEOMEN!
Why was my last post removed?
What’s the problem with me posting Spencer’s bbc email address and suggesting folks contact him personally?
It’s hardly rocket surgery to work it out is it?
That is: firstname.surname@youknowwho.co.uk
I certainly didn’t remove anything. I don’t know how for a start.
That’s weird! It definitely appeared okay.
Apologies for my baseless accusation. Maybe the forehead obsessed Brett “Dickhead” Spencer is hacking the site.
Anyway his email address (checked by me and it hasn’t bounced back) is
brett.spencer@bbc.co.uk.
Let him know what you think of his “personal views” — because as we know, all organizations allow their employees to express personal views whilst advertising where they work.
Especially media outlets.
Maybe you hit the ‘delete’ button by accident? Anyway:
I saw your (now deleted) twitters on B-BBC. They were just a tiny indication of the widespread flouting of the BBC’s duty to impartiality. Have you ever considered what it says about the moral bankruptcy of your beliefs that you are so terrified of the BBC giving a level playing field for political debate?
I really dont now why you have such animus against David Cameron. We all know he’s been so well and truly ‘thought policed’ by the BBC there’s no doubt he’s going to carry on your programme of cultural Marxism if elected.
Great work Mr Spencer!
Oh, and copied to ‘Comrade Dave’ as well:
david.cameron@conservatives.com
HP — if only I could hit the delete button on the BBC and creeps like Spencer.
I assume that was the text of an email you sent him. You were far more erudite than me.
I just posted to him:
BREAKING NEWS
BBC DICKHEAD OBSESSED WITH FOREHEAD
Nice one , Jack !
Cheers Grant. You gotta laugh in the BBC Komrades Republic of the UK!
On St George’s day (ignored by the BBC as usual) Radio 5 this morning interviewed THREE people to discuss the debate.
1 American, 1 Froggie and a British born Chinese bloke, very typical of England. Needless to say it was evident as to why these three “floating voters” were chosen, Brow and Clegg impressed Cameron did not.
Well well well.
Oh and the BBC talking about the HOPELESS growth figures this 1.4. 0.2% spouts Vicki Pollard, but they might be revised UP of course.
Wow, what to 0.3% perhaps?
Our economy is in shit street there is no growth only the ever increasing public sector expansion.
Why should anyone trust the figures anyway ?
‘Update April 23, 11 am. He’s now removed the oh-so-witty remarks ‘
One wonders why. As his views don’t seem to be any concern of anyones, especially the employer he needs to boast about to get any notice.
Don’t know why anyones suprised by the bbc coverage. they will always control the debate. assuming they allow debate in the first place.
It’s taken them enough time to allow a debate about immigration, but, when they did, they chose Luton and a crowd that were bordering on violent towards the BNP member.
All these peole I hear on the BBC who are “celebrating” and “embracing” our multi cultural new world are a far way away from the people I meet in my everyday life.
No regular on this site is surprised! We’re just commenting on it.
I’m concerned that some people on this thread seem to be forgetting that many inside the BBC are nobly sticking to the duty they see to `balance out’ the `right-wing press’
Someone pointed out yesterday that the BBC had reported that the crowd outside the Sky venue last night were barracking Cameron.
Newspapers this morning mention that Brown was loudly booed. Strange the BBC omitted to mention that. Selective deafness ?
I have seen a couple of BBC employment contracts. They alwasy say that the corporation has to being given sight of and give approval for anything that BBc employers publish elsewhere.
Twitter is a published medium. Therefore Twittering Beeboids must either have approval or are breaking their contract.
I put this comment on the Daily Mail website the other week, in response to a piece by Max Hastings (who I normally rate) wrote about ‘ostrich’ voters.
On reflection, I was really ranting about the champagne quaffing Socialist, COMMON PURPOSE do gooder, fifth columnists who have infested much of our establishment. See http://www.cpexposed.com/ Go to the Graduates section, select London and see how many BBC employees have undergone their Marxist brainwashing courses.
Anyway, here’s my rant:
Max,
It’s easy for commentators like yourself in your safe cocoons, to think the whole country is like Notting Hill. Where your neighbours are well educated, respected professionals; Where a gas bill is something you just pay; Where dining out 3 or 4 times a week is a right; Skiing holidays and annual holidays are an essential.
From where I and millions of others are coming from, this is a different planet.
We are taxed to the hilt, can’t afford a fancy accountant to wriggle/scam our way out of it. We are repeatedly told what we must do and think. Annual holidays might be a few days in a caravan, hoping the car won’t break down on the way. Dining out means buying the kids a burger, and not having one yourself. Being told that your wait on the council housing list is 10-15 years, while you watch a family of immigrants being housed immediately.
Please don’t call us Ostriches – we’re the persecuted British!

C’mon fella, stop spamming this blog.
Spamming?
Free speech sometimes upsets those whose aims are to destroy that freedom.
This is a free forum BTW all views are welcome here and those of MVR are very interesting indeed, the puzzling thing is how you seem to pop up just as MVR posts his views, funny that!
Totally off topic but, as a Scot , may I wish all my English friends a happy St. George’s Day ( especially Martin ! ).
Now , I wonder what special programmes the BBC have scheduled to celebrate the National Day of the second greatest people in history ?
Your happy wishes are appreciated!
Cheers, Jack, or should I say ” Slainte mhar ” !
I always enjoy your posts here !!
Grant much appreciated, I guess the BBC might put on some Russian marching music and shows hours of Gordon and his jaw movements, but then again….
Martin, that is so true !
Hey, thanks Chief. I guess I don’t need to ask who the first greatest people in history are.
Asuka ,
Well that raises a big question ! I would go for the Jews or the Turks , but that will annoy George R !
Wow I truly thought nothing could be funnier than ‘These two remind me of my two boys at bathtime squabbling it says here.’
But no Brett Spencer has managed it. What a wit. How do I subscribe to his hilarious tweeting?
When will these BBC tosspots also work out YOU CAN’T DELETE A TWEET!!!! Once it’s gone out it’s out there.
It’s like the BBC when they try to delete a web page or comment from one of their drug addled tool reporters, Google picks it up and it caches the original page.
It is clear proof that Cocaine really does fry the brain.
Marty — think BBC staff use tweets as druggie “code” for dealers to deliver more crack cocaine rocks to White City?
Looks like all that license fee money spent on training the Beeboids how to use Twitter and Facebook was a total waste!
4pm update: Yae! Catching them at it! The Labour candidate who prophesised his own doom for his Tweeter entries could well have been prophesying the exposure of BBC bias through indiscreet tweeting. I think I’m going to have to get back in touch with some people in the media …
“Those known to the public primarily as presenters of, or reporters on, BBC news programmes or programmes about current affairs, must be seen to be impartial. It is important that no off-air activity, including writing, the giving of interviews or the making of speeches, leads to any doubt about their objectivity on-air. If such presenters or reporters publicly express personal views off-air on controversial issues, then their on-air role may be severely compromised. It is crucial that in both their BBC work and in non BBC activities such as writing, speaking or giving interviews, they do not:-
* state how they vote or express support for any political party
* express views for or against any policy which is a matter of current party political debate
* advocate any particular position on an issue of current public controversy or debate
* exhort a change in high profile public policy.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/editorialguidelines/advice/conflicts/2maintainingimp.shtml
Clearly these “guidlines” are worthless.
They do have some value, they do serve to show how flagrantly in breach of standards of impartiality BBC presenters and reporters are. Maybe the next thing they’re going to delete from the internet are these guidelines?
Not entirely worthless. If they frustrate even a handful of Beeboids who want to use your license fee for political purposes then they must be good for something after all. They need to be enforced for real, though, so these silly Beeboids can’t get away with deleting the barn after the twat has run out the door.
I wonder how many Beeboids have been disciplined for breaching the guidelines in, say, the last year and what were the punishments ?
Tried to post this earlier but it didn’t work.
Spencer makes the funniest tweet yet: his intent was to “make fun of all three candidates”…
But every time he typed BROWN or CLEGG his keyboard remotely typed CAMERON!
He can’t understand it.
Let’s be reasonable here: he says he meant to make fun of all three candidates, but he only got round to making fun of one of them. An hour and a half is pracitcally not time at all when you think about it.
And the fact that Mr. Spencer works for an organisation whose hatred for the party of the candidate he did get around to berating is so massive it can bend space-time, is just, like, totally a coincidence and stuff. Yeah, that makes sense.
That’s that really shit Cocaine for you!
“Won’t be tweeting for a bit” until after he gets through re-taking the BBC’s training course on how to use Twitter – all at your expense.
“Won’t be tweeting for a bit”
Oh no. What will I do with my weekends now??
Ha !
Hey Brett, Gordon Brown has one eye, the charisma of an intestinal parasite, and the intelligence of that stinky juice you get at the bottom of the dustbin. Why don’t you make some jokes about that? Oh, that’s right, I forgot; you’re just a BBC-fag.
If he wanted some tips on taking the piss out of the one eyed slack jawed twat he should have asked me 🙂
Asuka. I disagree. Gordon the Moron is much worse than that !
No idea why that got posted twice !
Just been surfing around Twitter – no wonder the BBC lot like it, its full of right-on champaigne socialists who publish their “whats on your mind” before they forget them. Watching paint dry must be more stimulating then reading “twitters” from illiterate BBC types.
Anyone ever see the old 5 Live message boards?
The posts reflected the whole spectrum of political views, both left and right wing and politically ‘correct’ and ‘incorrect’.
They were scrapped and replaced with more ‘on message’ internet services like twitter blogging.
This was or our own good according to the BBC.
I saw one ‘humorous’ comment posted by Brett Spencer which claimed that the graphics behind Gordon Brown made it look like like he had a red arrow through his head. Definitely taken the masterclass on BBC impartiality here: Make one comment about one side and you can make a hundred about the other.
The Yougov comments summed him up perfectly though. Notice how the left leap on Yougov whenever it represents their own ideals. But then trash it the moment it doesn’t.
Personally I think the sort of people that take Yougov polls perfectly reflects people like Brett. A lot of layabouts with nothing better to do than tap idly away on their keyboards and be paid for endorsing their shitheap opinions.
Dear BBC.
Why no three minutes silence for the tragic death of that true weekend rebel Mr Malcolm McLaren?
Why instead did we get the Queens birthday and the national anthem when we could all have celebrated “a true BBC icon “who stood for all the faux-rebellion ,aimless controversies and vogueing that the BBC and its political glove puppets manifest by the bucketload?
No doubt the BBC paid a superannuated punk or two his weight in glue for a photo op to mark the death of a true genius. He never grew up which is what the BBC craves for itself”-a good rebellion” as ever chaps!
Tell you what-how about an hours silence to mark his death and pull the smugfest that is the “Leaders debate” next Thursday…it is what he would have wantedafter all! Better still-a comedy half hour featuring the riot of mirth that is Marcus Brigstocke-as many minutes of silence as you like then!
“Every society loves its rebels dead-and its spineless toadies sending cub reporters to Highgate Ceremony to strike a pose-and very much alive as long as you`re buying!”
And the BBC are about to host the final leadership debate then? Lord help us all.
perhaps they’ll insist on full on audience participation, and buss in hundreds of “Average voters” from New Labour H.Q., to assist in their plans to “Save Gordon”.
Funny you posted that. I was thinking the same thing, the last throw of the BBC’s vote “mong” dice.
Both the two previous audiences looked very different from a BBC QT audience, I’m surprised the right wing press haven’t picked up on this. mostly white a lot of older people and clearly not full of drugged up rent boy abusing BBC types.
I think though that the BBC isn’t allowed to choose the audience, for all three debates it’s done by one of the polling companies.
Where the BBC will try to fix it will be with the tosser hosting it who as we know is a Labour supporter.
Maybe it should be a requirement that all BBC political shows should have their audiences chosen independently – eg by a polling company.
I havent seen much on al beeb about cameron taking out the second debate? Although the one article I did see underplayed it by saying he only won by 1 point.
Im still thinking that the real story here isnt Clegg or Cameron…but just how badly Brown and Labour are doing.
If the Yougov poll is to be believed, Labour wont even be the official opposition party. NOW THAT is the real story here!
Mailman
Regardless of coming 3rd in the popular vote Labour stands to win the biggest share of seats, which would leave the Lib-Dems in the awkward position of do they go with the Party with the biggest share of the popular vote, which a Party that advocates PR should do (especially if they have that biggest share but the least seats), or do they prop up a discredited Gordon Brown (or whoever his successor may be)? Whichever way you cut it, Britain loses. Cameron is so afraid of the BBC he’ll be looking to suck up to them. After 5 more years of cultural Marxism under him just going to Church could get you arrested.
DavidACGregory “The Tories can recapture the initiative by playing the ball rather than the man” http://bit.ly/dBz1C0Charles Moore doesn’t read own paper
Says curiously uni-opinionated person: the BBC Science & Environment Correspondent based in Birmingham. Appearing on various bits of the BBC including Midlands Today
Sure he’ll have some critical views soon on other party policies or media soon.
At least David Gregory is reading the Times – not the Guardian
Hello All! Long time no chat.
I was simply pointing out the irony of Charles Moore writing this article (in the Telegraph not the Times btw) when his paper had a front page splash that was pretty much the definition of “playing the man” this Thursday.
Now obiously Thursday’s Telegraph would upset a Lib Dem supporter, but it also upset others on the political spectrum not least Iain Dale;
http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2010/04/these-shameful-attacks-on-clegg-will.html
So I really don’t thinky you can assume a political bias from my drawing attention to it.
There’s a post about the reporting of the rest of the press that day at the BBC’s College of Journalism;
http://www.bbc.co.uk/journalism/blog/2010/04/the-election-and-the-press.shtml
While my twitter feed is not an official BBC one I do use it to find contacts and stories and just point out interesting things like Charles Moore’s article. It’s a very useful tool. And I’d like to assure my former sparring partners here at B-BBC that I do take issues of impartiality very, very seriously. Especially during an election.
What a joke! A Beeboid says it ‘s ‘impartial’ so it must be impartial; as ‘impartial as an ‘Any Questions’ audience.!
Hello and welcome, David Gregory. Hope all is well with you. Please take note that the more BBC employees express their frustration at not being allowed to push their (exclusively Left, so far) political views on air, the worse it looks for impartiality at the BBC. Also, Chris Addison’s failure to grasp the difference between the special position of the BBC and other media doesn’t help.
As for Charles Moore, there’s nothing inherently hypocritical (if that’s what you’re implying) in Charles Moore complaining about Tory leadership behavior even though his colleagues in another division do the same thing. He most likley wrote his piece entirely independently, and without foreknowledge of that piece on the front page. Having said that, I don’t think I see any particular partisan bias in your tweet, especially since he wasn’t critcizing Labour or the BBC, but instead his own party. Unless, that is, you focused on him in a way that you wouldn’t do on someone in the Guardian who did the same thing. (I’m not saying that’s what’s happened; it’s just a thought.)
Why cite Iain Dale as if his opinion has some sort of authority that mine, for example, doesn’t? I happen to disagree with almost everything he says there. It’s rubbish to assert that he is transparently decent and everyone should like him. I for one, don’t like him. I find him transparently hypocritical, disingenuous and consider it would be bad and dangerous to the future of this country if he got power. He is not the only politician of whom that can be said but he is very much one of them, a careerist opportunist, a Eurocrat gravy-trainer and member of the privileged political class and not some sort of saintly outsider. Why shouldn’t Clegg be criticised in the press for his immigration policies, his receiving of money into his personal bank account, his saying that Britain’s misplaced pride was as bad as Nazism, etc etc? Is there some sort of special exemption for him?
I notice by the way that the BBC is quite happy to let Jack Straw rant and smear the Tories as racist on Any Questions. I thought that was disgraceful and switched off during the tirade. Where was the moderation on that occasion?
Millie — correct about Dale. A lame, intelletually incoherent conservfauxtive, if ever there was one.
Oh my goodness Mr Gregory. I followed your BBC link for ‘the last word on journalistic integrity’. You expect anyone to take a busted flush like Kevin Marsh in the least bit seriously? He led the TODAY programme in a systematic campaign of patent anti-Iraq War activism. Robin Aitken has some choice words to say about the hostility he encountered from him when he called for more balance in TODAY’s reporting.
For something to be a smear Mr Gregory it has to be untrue. Now for the BBC from Jeremy Paxman to Gabby Logan to accuse these newspapers of smears when they can’t contest one single fact that has been published is a smear itself. Your boy Clegg is the best hope Labour BBC has of keeping Labour in power, that’s why you got your knickers in a twist over the press bringing Clegg under scrutiny. You say you take impartiality very, very seriously Mr Gregory. Anyone who takes ex TODAY editor Kevin Marsh in the least bit seriously doesn’t take impartiality seriously at all.
What thoughtful responses. And it’s Doctor Gregory not Mr.
Is that Doctor Gregory Nuthouse? I love your show on Sky.
David
Given the appallingly biased way the BBC is handling the election, it is brave for anyone for the BBC to pop in here.
Do you have any views on the continued ridiculous bias the BBC shows on climate change ?
Welcome back.
No doubt the BBC’s ‘QT’ audience fixing specialists are scouring the Mosques and Labour clubs of Birmingham as we speak, for next Thursday.
And the soon to be abolished (whoever gets in) Quangos!
Thing is Clegg is in a difficult position. His party would clearly jump into bed with Liebour as quickly as the average male beeboid would jump into bed with a 9 year old rent boy. However, Clegg seems to be sending a message to Liebour which is the price of a deal is McTwat’s head (very William wallace like), Clegg knows that any deal with one eyed murderer, the prince of ponce and Ed Hitler Balls would badly backfire. Clegg WOULD do a deal with Liebour with Millipede in charge but how on earth can we have yet another unelected Liebour PM?
I think the Limp Dems won’t do a deal with Liebour at all, if any party gets near 300 seats I think they will simply be allowed to govern as a minority party, that may well favour Liebour, but I suspect if that’s the case the in fighting will start within Liebour to get rid of the one eyed twat and call another election in a year or so.
I think Clegg would personally do a deal with Cameron but his party hates the Tories so I don’t see that happening.
What makes me laugh is how the BBC are now bigging up a hung parliament as a good thing so as to help clean up politics. How exactly? Has anyone seen how Obama bought off Republicans and Democrats over health care? One was so cheap all it cost was a flight in Air Force 1.
We will have individual MPs here making demands for their personal interests (a junior Ministers job, more money for their area etc.) the yanks call it pork barrelling. We see it already with the Scot Nats. How is THAT supposed to clean up our politics?
But the BBC know that only Clegg can save McTwat right now.
The BBC keeps on broadcasting quotes from some spectacularly unsophisticated Cleggophiles. People newly won over by Nick Clegg’s performance. They’re all taken in by his ‘something different’ mantra. Why, though? What makes them believe he’s any different from all the rest ?
Clegg’s one-dimensional presentation skills just grate. His interruptions during the debates came across as overbearing, rude and insensitive, more like an egomaniacal child at a grown up dinner party than Gordo’s wee bairns in the bath. Repeatedly bleating the questioner’s name to make everyone think he’s “listening” is clumsy and see-through. Perhaps that’s the transparency they’re always on about.
What about Clegg’s attitude to the I/P situation? Not only his continuing defence of Jenny Tonge, or the duplicitous Lib Dem leafleting campaign that was tailored (bespoke) to suit Muslim and Jewish neighbourhoods, but his desire for Israel to be disarmed, and his grasp of the conflict, informed by a trip in 2005 to ‘Israel and the occupied territories’ sponsored by CAABU.
I know there are some hardworking constituency Lib Dem MPs who mean well, but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and on the Middle East, that’s what they have. If they were to gain any undue influence after May 6th, their very little knowledge could turn out to be quite a dangerous thing.
Those are some filthy tricks by local LibDems. But they are known to play dirty. Known by everyone to play dirty – except, apparently, the BBC.
Well Mark Oaten played very dirty, the BBC loved that. I wonder how many other male beeboids went out and got a rent boy to lay a log on them? mmm very nice.
Sue spot on about Cleggs performance during the debates I thought I was living on a different planet from the debate I was hearing about on the Beeb. Clegg didn’t seem to listen to the question answering the question he wanted asked. Even worse he didn’t listen to the answers being given to Cameron and Brown and then tailored his reponse in the light of what they said. Mrs 1327 reckoned Clegg looked like a rookie salesman newly back from his first sales training session using the all the new techniques he had learned in a very heavy handed way.
Clegg looked like a rookie salesman newly back from his first sales training session
” ‘ello Nick, gotta Ford Cortina?”
But, but, but, “the people want” a hung parliament. Any fool knows that’s the best way for the parties to “work together”, as it would…@$@#%
Sorry, I couldn’t finish writing that without cracking up.
One great thing about the LibDems doing well is that greenie-loonie Zac Goldsmith won’t win a seat – for my local constituency. So I now reckon I could vote Tory, swallowing my distaste for him, without risking he wins – or could vote for eg. UKIP now.
But I expect Cameron would still keep him close by.
Beeb-loving Zac Goldsmith http://www.zacgoldsmith.com/article.asp?contentID=3&newsID=330.
