The BBC seems to be rallying behind the anarcho-communist rabble occupying St. Paul’s. With the Guardian contributing Thought got the Day providing Rev Giles Fraser on the scene banishing the Police whilst welcoming the great unwashed, it was predictable this was going to be presented in a particular way. But even I was unprepared for the BBC parroting the claim of one of those despoiling public space that “we know families counting the number of baked beans on their children’s plates.” Really? Got any names? Got any evidence? Or just a helpful little invention aimed at winning public sympathy for the Mob? I suppose we should be relieved that these victims of the evils of capitalism can count in the first place but why does the BBC not seek to provide a platform for those many people in London who are opposed to the street theatre of the hard Left? I notice one has to scroll to the very bottom of the lengthy item to pick up the news of the arrests for possession of cannabis amongst these “ordinary people”.
THE BAKED BEANS PROTEST
Bookmark the permalink.
Will the BBC do their bit by proposing a waiver of tv licence fees for bean counters?
Don’t expect the BBC to allow the right wing ( I suppose I will have to use this terminlology) case for bringing the corporate/ socialist state to heel.
All we will get is the whining of those who believe in entitlement at the expense of the majority.
I suppose most beeboids imbibed this attitude at university so cannot conceive of any alternative viewpoint.
” I want.I need and what is more it is my right”
That there is a an argument for restoring the true nature of capitalism and breaking the link between the corporate state and the globalised corporations would never occur to them.
Even the guy reporting on this demo on the Radio 4 8:00 News this morning implied that the parasites being reported on were matched in number by the media parasites doing the reporting. This non-event will run and run.
Maybe the bean counters are just doing their bit to face down the obesity epidemic?
Make it into the new protest song:
How many beans are there in a can?
How many beans in a can?
The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Of course bean counting could just be OCD.
Beanz meanz fartz…
A million housewives every day, pick up a can of beans and say “where’s the fuckin’ tin opener?”
I heard there were families of 150 people living in small shoeboxes in the middle of the road…..
You`d have thought that with the energy hikes, the Euro bail outs and all the other hotdesk issues that the BBC have been piling up at our breakfast buffets…Roger Bolton at “Feedback” would have as many reasons to be miserable as we do!
But no…old Rog is a Beeber, if nothing else.
Yesterdys Feedback then was a half hour worryfest about whether the BBCs “impartial and distinct” news output would suffer with all these…you know savage and draconian…cuts!
So-Radio 1 news would turn out to be bland if Radio 4s news bulletins had to be shared resources…and we the little people wouldn`t have be as cross as Rog if only we knew this.
The whole show was a reel around the water cooler up in Bush House…internal staff meeting that none of us gave a fig for!
Let me tell Roger Bolton that the BBCs news is ALREADY bland and can be written up until we close the damn place down.
1.Climate Change
2.Cuts
3. Toffs running the show man….s`not fair!
4.Phone Hacking
5. Whether Patten will part his chins to the left or the right in the coming savage and draconian era of moving up to Soopah Salford…with of course, no mention of where THAT taxpayers wad has gone.
Boltons pension would be a promising place to look.
Poor lamb clearly needs a mirror to bitch into…must be millions of the gravy boat boys still loitering round W11 able to help him find closure.
Closure…let`s help them eh?
If there are genuinely poor people who need to ration their childrens’ food they are not attending the protests. They can’t afford the bus fare. Besides processed food costs much more than raw food. They should be buying their beans by weight, soaking them overnight and cooking them.
No, no no no deegee.
Far too sensible a suggestion from you.
Furthermore the cunning manufacturers have introduced a tin with a ring-pull for the super rich.
Leaving the genuinely poor to attend left-wing run workshops and seminars entitled “Can openers, the running dog tool of capitalist exploitation”.
Furthermore, it might come as a shock to most at the BBC that Fagioli all’unccelletto can be prepared cheaply at home.
That’s quite correct, john.
Now, the ringpull requires physical effort to reach the yummy beans within.
So if you are counting your meagre ration of said beans, then clearly you are getting less of their protein and beanz-ey goodness. And using up your feeble stamina to get even those.
You are becoming WEAKER.
Eventually, you will lack the strength to open the can with the cunning ringpull.
You will starve to death, mocked by the plutocrats ringpull in all it’s metallic vindictiveness.
Meantime, a race of beans-fuelled, aristocratic super-beings will take over the Globe once more and destroy all vestiges of beautiful, progressive thought. For ever.
Actually, as an arch-reactionary, this sounds pretty spiffy. Especially as the staff of the Grauniad and the Windie Pendant are well known to exist entirely on Mr Heinz’s finest.
Bring it on ! And bags I for Holy Roman Emperor.
Counting beans hey?
Sounds like some thick UAF twat got confused when talking about Alphabetti Spaghetti.
Surely if these stinking freaks are camped out here then they’re not actively seeking work, so should have benefits stopped.
Baked beans? Plural? Luxury. Check out the guy in this BBC report who has to cut up individual beans for his kids (he can, however, afford to make himself a fairly elaborate Metropolitan Peace Officer uniform).
“We’re at home with our Top Shop beans separating each bean onto each plate for our children making sure that our children get just enough to survive.”
When did Top Shop start selling beans?
If this guy does have children (which I doubt) I can just imagine them cringing with embarrassment when they see that. “Oh no, Dad’s been dressing up as a twat again.” “Shut up and eat your quarter of a baked bean Che or you won’t get a lick of the fruit pastille tonight.”
Notice the similarity in message between the “Peace Officer” and the woman in the Guy Fawkes mask in the video linked to in the blog. Both begin with elaborate descriptions of the lifestyles of the rich and then go on to describe sharing out baked beans for children. Goodness, it’s almost as if it’s co-ordinated.
Top Shop beans, eh ? Bit infra dig even for a peacenik I’d have thought.
Can’t he afford Monsoon beans ? Or River Island ?
And honestly he should be growing his own beans and tomatoes, and not giving his hard earned (ha! ha! ) money to capitalist fat cats like Top Shop who only funnel the shekels of the workers into a secret fund to provide the evil Joooz with top of the range anti-Palestinian weaponry. And mini-bikes.
Wake up, comrade !
If anyone is starving in the UK it is at the hands of their parent(s) and nothing at all to do with money. Every day we see starving children in Africa. To compare geniuine starvation with people having to economise is obscene.
My wife works in a school and she does see hungry children, but it is not through capitalist greed – it is through drug riddled parents who do not give a toss for their offspring. To these people more childrem means more money for drugs.
