DEVOLUTION MAX?

“Power without responsibility – the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages”.  Why Baldwin could have been talking about the State Broadcaster. Or the SNP.

Post World War Two the remnants of burnt out Europe were allowed to build up their socialist Nirvana (Now RIP) because the United States bore the heavy lifting of funding the DEFENCE of it’s borders. The modern European Nanny State was able to prosper because it got away without having to attend to the primary function of any real State namely securing the defence of its citizens. The Great Satan did that for them – and was loudly condemned for doing so. Fast forward to the SNP conference this weekend being trailed on the BBC for several days this week and in particular the way the BBC has treated Salmond’s Plan B – namely the UK can pay for the defence of Scotland, whilst the SNP can take care of all internal issues care of that lovely Barnett formula. Not ONCE has any BBC interviewer thought it appropriate to ask Mr Salmond on what basis he thinks it right and proper that Scotland should not be paying for the defence of Scotland? Salmond’s economic delusions north of the border get a free pass from the BBC.

OVERSTAFFED AT DALE FARM?

This item was brought to my attention by Biased BBC reader Lawrence; The BBC stands accused of overstaffing as protestors pull out of Dale Farm;

While the number of activists dwindled, the BBC still had six satellite crews, a handful of local correspondents and a team of documentary makers on the six acre site. They even had their own caravan within the compound to provide accommodation and refreshment for the 30 or so staff working on the story. 

Yesterday Don Foster, Liberal Democrats culture spokesman, said: “That is ludicrous over staffing and hardly good way to get public sympathy for the 20 per cent budget cuts facing the BBC.” 

The BBC’s renting of the caravan even led to some light ribbing from their rivals at ITV, who boasted they were making do with a tent. Damon Green, the ITV News Correspondent, tweeted: “We have a tent, the BBC have a caravan at DaleFarm. Delivering Quality First“.

Yes, but the REASON the BBC felt inclined to have so MANY people there is that it was clearly on the side of the law-breakers, those “travellers” determined to remain static.

RANGERS ON THE ATTACK!

I’m not a fan of Rangers but they seem prepared to tackle the BBC …

“Rangers owner Craig Whyte has said he will take legal action over a BBC documentary which carried allegations of criminality in his past dealings. The documentary heard from a government agency that he controlled a company despite being banned as a director.
The programme, Rangers: The Inside Story, was shown on Thursday night. A spokesman for Mr Whyte said he “strenuously refutes” the “unfounded and defamatory allegations” allegations aired in the programme. In a statement, the spokesman said: “Craig Whyte strenuously refutes these unfounded and defamatory allegations and has instructed his lawyers, Carter Ruck, to commence immediate legal proceedings against the BBC. Any repetition of these false accusations will also be met with legal action.”

In response, a spokesman for BBC Scotland said: “We stand by the investigation which was produced according to our rigorous editorial standards on fairness, accuracy and impartiality.”

You have to laugh…..

DANNY GLOVER

Today provided a forum for complete nutter Danny Glover to expound his odd views, this morning. (8.23am)

Actor Danny Glover has co-produced a documentary about the black power struggle of the 60s and 70s in the United States. Nicola Stanbridge speaks to him about the parallels he sees with the current protest movement.

Is this the same Mr Glover who concluded the earthquake in Haiti was a “response” for “what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen.”? Is this the same Mr Glover who accused President Bush of being a “racist”? Is this the same Mr Glover who now calls the #Occupy rabble “warriors”? Yes indeed, and he was given free rein to claim that there is a direct comparison between those who supported Martin Luther King Jnr and those who defecate on Police cars in Lower Manhattan. Only the BBC would allow this moonbat the space and time to indulge his febrile imaginations WITHOUT a dissenting voice being available to contest his claims.

EARTH IS WARMING, AND IT’S YOUR FAULT

It’s been a tricky time for the eco-wacko global warming cultists what with Mother Earth not doing what they demand, but I see that the BBC has managed to find a way to fight back with the exultant headline “Global Warming – “Confirmed”. I see our good friend on Biased BBC Richard Black is behind this advocacy on behalf of the Berkeley Earth Project. Lest you doubt the veracity, read this from Richard, right up there in the third sentence in case you missed it;

The project received funds from sources that back organisations lobbying against action on climate change.

Global Warming – proven. LOL – poor old Richard, desperate to sustain the cult and his BBC masters keen to provide him with a pulpit.

Question Time LiveBlog 20th October 2010

Question Time tonight comes from Glasgow.

David Dimbleby is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg, a rebellious Conservative with absolutely no connection to Glasgow at all, LibDem MP Alistair Carmichael (who dropped out of Glasgow Uni so a tenuous connection at least), local Labour MP Margaret Curran, the SNPs Education Minister Mike Russell, journalist Cristina Odone and a Scottish actor called Brian Cox.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, eh? You might as well scrawl Ambush on the front of the desk.

It’s a 10:30pm kick off. You know where to be. And how much alcohol to bring.

WAKE-UP CALL

If, unlike me, you missed the first half-hour of this morning’s Today programme on Radio 4 here’s a summary of the main points. You may detect a theme.

BBC R4 TODAY CLIMATE CHANGE OBSESSION (mp3)

That was as much as I could take on a frosty morning. On the plus side – shouting expletives at the radio wakes you up, so there is that at least.

GREEN GREED

13 Comments

What these 200 companies actually mean when they say they demand “more action on climate change” is that they are after more subsidies from the money that government is taking off us in taxes, and they want more green taxes on the public so that the government will be able to give them more subsidies. This story proves beyond doubt the grim reality that every single one of our major companies has now been infected by the the corporate responsibility disease and has high priests of green nuttiness at board level advising strategy.

And these parasites have realised that if they hold out their begging bowls marked “green” and chant the phrase “action on climate change” loudly (turning in circles as they do so), they will be lavishly filled with Chris Huhne’s largesse.

Jo Nova points out eloquently here what these green measures entail: the Canadian government has just committed to introduce measures to reduce temeperatures at the equivalent of $84 trillion per degree (at least it’s centigrade, not Fahrenheit). What’s terrifying is that the same is being requested here.

Richard Black , as usual, recycles the views of these grasping eco-nutters with grim self-smug satisfaction. Not for one second does he doubt that they are right, and nor does he have the self-awareness to realise he’s nothing but a pawn in their greedy, eco-fascist games.
