Is it just me or is the BBC leading a crusade to stop the cancellation of flights because of the drifting volcanic ash clouds? I note that they are running several items on Today asking the same recurring question – why are we not airlines just “get on with it.” I suppose the Beeboids must be getting frustrated at missing their flights as they seek to travel the world to bring us bias from the four corners!
ASHES TO ASHES

More likely the problems of getting Charlie into the country
LOL !!!!
The BBC must respect the model based ash cloud computer simulations of the MET office, for it has immense experience in such simulations, and has been proved correct on AGW and ACC. There.
LOL !!
But hang on!!! Surely this cancellation of flying is what the BBC want? I thought planes were killing the planet and we have to stop flying? Oh hang on the BBC only want the proles to stop flying. THEY want to be able to fly to Cuba and Goa (the drugs haven for lefties) when they want.
Also, as usual the beeboids don’th ave any understanding of science or technology, the airlines are in the hands of the engine and airframe manufacturers on the safe levels of ash that can be flown through. Of course the BBC don’t really get that in their thick liberal leftist view of the world.
Exactly. Is there anyone at the useless Met Office or the BBC who understand the technical issues ? This should have been in the hands of the airline industry right from the start. As if they would risk flying if they thought there was a danger.
Does anyone think the BBC are putting pressure on the airlines so that the Government will allow flights, then when/if there is a fatal crash the BBC can blame the ‘heartless Tories’?
Yes! I was thinking that too.
The BBC can get several bites at the cherry –
Firstly that it was “proper” that the previous Labour government allowed the ban to remain in place given that little was known about the ash. Good Labour for getting the call right.
Secondly, now we have a Tory government we know all about the chaos the ban causes so the useless Tories are dragging their heels in not lifting the ban immediately.
Lastly, as you say, if the Tories do allow flights again and there is a disaster, wow can the BBC pile into the Tories – didn’t listen to experts – rushed into a decision etc etc.
Win win win for the BBC and Labour.
I wouldn’t put anything past the Gramscian creeps at the BBC. Does anyone recall TODAY taking his line when Brown was Prime Minister. I think its generally just TODAY sowing the seeds of discord now we have a Condem Government.
Or in BBC Land a Condemned Government.
Philip Hammond dealt excellently with this on the Toady program. Despite the fact that the interviewer tried to push the line that while in opposition Therea Villers had rightly called the gov’t response a shambles and that the boot is now firmly on the other foot, he refused to rise to the bait.
If the BBC is to be made to appear as it truly is, then this is the correct approach – principled and calm with an absolute refusal to play silly buggers on live radio at the first invitation.
Tony E
I agree. The trick is to be calm and rational although through my own experiences of the BBC that is really tough since they set out to antagonise, to smear and to do down those with whom they ideologically differ (Namely anyone to the right of Tony Benn)
The BBC has no need to be consistent.
Some of its employees are fanatical climate apocalypse hysterics and miss no opportunity to ram their crackpot theories down our throats. Others make travel shows promoting foreign holidays or car programmes like Top Gear of F1 car racing which glorify cars. Also the BBC is notorious for overstaffing at far-flung events all over the world and for a huge bill for domestic flights too.
They just do as they like because they can and they know we can’t stop paying them unless we want a fine and a criminal record for using our own TV sets.
The Beeboids and their kind believe that THEY should be allowed to fly becasue they are so much more important than the little people and morally superior.
Remember all the justification from Beeboids and warmists after the Copenhagen airport traffic jam. It was vital that they met face to tace to do their business. In complete contrast to all the shrilling that those nasty capitalist pigs should used video conferencing.
It is a well known fact that flying only causes the weather getting a little bit warmer when it is done by common oiks.
Spot on, when luvvies fly first class they emit no harmful CO2. Sting, Emma Thompson and Bozo tell us so. Oh apparently if you own a Toyota Pious and park it in your garage THAT also absorbs any CO2 your big limo emits as well.
Come the revolution Komrad I shall punch the insufferable Sting right in his sanctimonious pie hole.
dear god, what next :-E
“dear god, what next”
I agree with DG. Sorry, I mean David Gregory. Though D.G, let’s just point out that failing to capitalize letters and use punctuation doesn’t do your university credentials and BBC employment justice.
Regarding the thread, the only thing I hate more than warmists, are conspiracy theorists.
great response – well done you
According to the theory “AGW” will make Britain a holiday paradise with palm trees, similar in fact to the Algrave. Temperatures will rise making life more pleasent, fewer old people will die of the cold. The country would benefit from tourism, fewer people would fly as they would not have to go abroad to get some sun, and the socialist BBC don’t want us to have that – instead they want us to live in a miserable cold gloomy country where the common people suffer from cold inflicted diseases. Typical socialism.
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel or envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
Churchill
Sounds lovely John, except for the fact that everybody currently living between the tropics of Cancer & Capricorn will have been granted a visa to live here.
I am no apologist for the AGW believers, but I would like to see some of the politics disappear from this issue as it is being used as a driver for international socialism. It is the problem ‘so large that it requires supranational government’. The BBC seem to like supranational government and that is rather why I think they push the line so hard.
The science is not settled – now let’s hear the absolute truth from the scientists without the government/media bias. We will make up our own minds.
And , of course, it won’t affect the lifestyles of the wealthy Beeboids. Stinking hypocrites.
