    Shaun Ley (‘The World This Weekend‘) reported from Derby, which has just received one of seven regional grants from the government – though it’s the smallest of the seven grants, Shaun told us in his introduction, and it’s still licking its wounds over the government’s “controversial decision” over Bombardier. Lots of serious questions for the government to answer were raised by Shaun and his interviewees, so which politician did he eventually interview? Margaret Beckett of the Labour Party. Even though she repeatedly criticised the government, Shaun gave her the gentlest of interviews. Labour’s 13 years of responsibility for Derby’s fragile position were not on Shaun Ley’s radar, it seems.  
     
    There was no defence allowed from the government to these attacks. Nor was there to the following piece – an interview with one of the men behind Aardman Animations, who wants “substantial government support” and protectionist legislation to save us against those “cheap American products”.

    AS usual the moment Dame Nikki Campbell gets on Radio 5 off we go.

    1. He was proclaiming that the 80mph speed limit should be re-thought and had on YES you’ve guessed it a swivel eyed loon from BRAKE who without waiting for the dead to be buried decided to use their deaths to promote her own twisted view of the world.

    Funny how BRAKE seem to hate cars yet are the ‘goto’ group for the BBC. I wonder how many members of BRAKE have links to the BBC and Nu Liebore?

    Luckily Dame Nikki was up against a Minister (never heard of him before) who is ex fire service and seemed to know his stuff, so Dame Nikki and dozy bitch from BRAKE were put in their place.

    But then we had one of those awful Radio 5 oral sex moments, you know like when Bacon met Marcus.

    This time it was when Nikki met Alistair (Campbell) talking about some Liebore person who had died (Gould). You could almost hear Dame Nikki unzipping Alistair’s flies live on air, it was a sickening interview, once again Dame Nikki reminiscing about those great Liebore years of his beloved political mates.

    Yuk!

    Richard Black has treated to the twitter comfort zone. A few others (Stephanomics) lasted all of 2 days.

    As far as ‘speaking for the nation’… with about as many paying attention  as a Miliband edict.. unique.

    Radio 5 at it again, anyone want to guess what the phone in was about this morning? Yep those evil Tories wanting kill more people by raising the speed limit. Needless to say the swivel eyed loons were out in force.

    Now we have Vikki Pollard almost in tears again talking about the pikey scum from Dale Farm.

    Oh heck…one of NuLabors puppetmasters has just died.
    That his last interview in the New Statesman concentrated on all those that he knew…the tactics he concocted to keep the likes of Blair in power…and his perpetual revolutionary footing…says all you need to know about Philip Goulds whole purpose in life-and the expediency of his dying as seen by the likes of Blair and the New Statesman socialist scribblers.
    There is no God as far as they are concerned…only a purr from Mandelson or a Chritmas card from Stephen Kinnock seesm to count!
    Still…no doubting who gets top spot on Last Word this Friday…so his life will not have been in vain at Millbank…maybe even a bounce in the polls!
    It`s all that he would have wanted…and THESE are the kinds of pygmies that have infested the body politic since the late 80s…heavens to Betsey!
