Anyone catch Nick Cosgrove’s interview with Sir Philip Green on the business news section of the Today programme this morning. (7.20am) Talk about hostile! Green has been recruited by Cameron to lead a review into government spending and is thus an instant enemy of the BBC and it shows. Rather than stick to topic, Cosgrove kept making comments about Sir Philip’s tax status and also his friendship with Naomi Campbell. I don’t recall Sir Alan Sugar being quite the same hard ride by the BBC but then again he supports Labour….

This sort of ‘ambush’ interview is getting more and more common on the bbc. Green was obviously being interviewed about his new government responsibility and it was, to say the least, excessively rude to go into self-satisfied-leftie-anti-greedy-corporatist mode. The BBC cannot help itself, but Cameron should get a grip if he wishes to get talented outsiders helping in government without becoming targets for the stinking beeboids!
Erm, the BBC can help itself, it just doesn’t have the moral integrity to want to do so.
It was indeed an extraordinary ambush. In the event Green had been calling for increased taxation and been a professional politician and paying NO tax in this country there might have been the slightest justification for that line of questioning.
I am not a fan of Philip Green but it was pretty outrageous.
The Beeb are betting the farm on getting Labour reelected soon. If they carry on with this kind of interview with the present movers and shakers they might easily interview themselves out of a licence fee!
I am really starting to believe they cannot be fixed and will just have to go.
the problem is Mr Hunt for months now i have been sending email after email about the bbc and still i haven’t had a reply…..
The beeb will have to go,moving outside london is only done to be seen to cut costs but they still spend just as much
I remember Philip Green gave an interview to the BBC about a year ago (?) where he was very critical of the BBC and Beeboids have long memories.
The toady interview came off as very childish and petty, a smirking prat trying to smear a guest, the ONLY reason the guest was allowed on, the spiv Sugar was treated like an honoured guest by the toadies who rolled out the red carpet for him. But they may well have just invited Green onto a stage and pelted him with rotten fruit for five minutes and then spat in his face.
If I was Green I would be furious!
Only in the world of beeboids and the Liebour party would a mong like Alan Sugar we seen as some business sage. He based his business on producing shit computers and once told Bill Gates “You’ll never make money from selling software”
That is reason enough to ignore anything Sugar says.
Quite right, Green is a serious , successful businessman, but the BBC hate him because he is not a socialist. Sugar is a third-rate joke, but the BBC love him because he IS a socialist.
