Arggh! Woke up this morning to the Today programme around 6.50am and who was on? Yes, it’s Universal Alistair Darling on. He had also been on Today in Parliament around 11pm last night. After the 7am news headline, on comes the lovely (!) Yvette Cooper to give us five minutes of Labour propaganda. Seriously, has the BBC gone into denial? I think we may need to send in some psychotherapists to help our dear Beeboid friends…..
BBC GOES LABOUR…

I have always argued that the Tories should boycott the BBC totally, thereby scuppering the BBC’s output. Now they are in government , the argument is even stronger. Will they do it ? No, of course not. They will just carry on letting the BBC give them a good kicking on a daily basis.
Anyone notice how ministers in the coalition government are reported by the BBC as ‘defending’ their policies?
Is this an attmept to portray them as passive, reacting to opposition criticism?
It seems to me that the new government is on fine form and certainly a couple of steps ahead of the BBC
And a lot of the public with you. I know open-minded Labour-supporting friends of mine who are quite positive about the new government.
Truly the Beeb are in denial about the votes we (the oiks )cast.
Heard Evan Davis try and dredge up the views of Nigel Lawson as well as the actions of Geoffrey Howe…as if the catastrophic thirteen years of Darling and Cooper(Home Information Packs!) simply had never happened…blame Geoffrey Howe eh?
Luckily these “progressives” are mere dangleberries on the arse of the body politic now,but they still get to choose who schmoozes with them in the studio. Hope Cameron takes his revenge slowly.
Surely if we detect “institutional bias” from the BBC it is a reality and needing legislation to combat it…for perception and my feelings that they ARE biased is proof enough. MacPherson…QED!
It seems that the message from Labour, being faithfully transmitted by the BBC, is that Labour was just on the point of delivering paradise on earth when those wicked Conservatives (if only!) and deluded LibDems betrayed the clear choice of the electorate and brought in a non-Labour administration. Not that I expected it, but not one Labour rent-a-gob has admitted (nor been seriously challenged by the BBC concerning) any serious shortcomings in their 13 year misrule of the UK (apart, of course, by “failing to listen [sometimes] to the community” and only now condemning the Iraq war). Although Labour won by a landslide in 1997 and, to an extent, different considerations applied, I can’t recall a succession of Conservative spokesmen tramping through the Today studio bigging up Thatcherism and lying consistently about their time in office.
And at World at One it was John Hutton (at least I think that is his name – the Labout ex Work and Pensions minister – going on about IDS and how he wished him well but of course he – as ex minister – knew how to difficult it was for people on benefits to get back to work without losing benefit but of course the benefit system that Labour had in place was so much better that IDS was proposing etc etc Well how come he didn’t try to sort in whilst he was in office instead of leaving yet more mess for the coalition to sort out? With Mrs Balls on Today this morning criticising before an announcement – is there any time for Conservative ministers on the BBC?
Any chance of the BBC reproting this one anyday soon?

The latest opinion poll had the Tories on about 39%, not reported the the drugged up twats at the BBC.
News 24 going big on anti Tory again. We have a long interview with John Hutton slagging off IDS.
As others have noted when Liebour were in power I don’t ever remember Tories getting airtime like the Socialists now do to attack the Government.
More slagging off of the Tories, now it’s ID cards and the BBC just HAVE to interview some silly cow that bought one and she’s moaning. Why? What on earth makes an adult woman think she needs an ID card in the first place?
Then the BBC claim that 250 million has been spent already (yes by Liebour) and that they were really useful for catching terrorists. Really? So why do white old ladies non need them?
Marvellous place Radio4land eh?
The ID card scheme has been ditched and these anti-fascists seem to want them…only the BBC could find a numpty who paid £30 for the privilege of being able to remind herself who she is…and ,sure enough: she gets interviewed.
Still we have plenty time to watch them twisting in their own wind trying to explain why Blairs academies were a good idea but Goves could never be! How are Mair,Paxman getting to work now that the Tories tend to walk or use public transport-about time the MPs started asking THEM about how we can afford their flatulence and moistened eyes as they fly over the poor below.
According to Tom Simons on the BBC News at 10, the Labour Government “had a good go” at sorting out the benefits system. Just so we’re all clear on that.
