This man, Robert Lamb, appears to be at the heart of the BBC’s environmental programmes scandal. Surprise, surprise, he was trained as a BBC producer in the 1980s and has since become a one man blizzard of greenie programming. Two of the companies he has has set up and run have been named by the BBC trustees as “causing concern” because they accepted funding from external sources in alleged breach of current affairs programme guidelines and were made in such a way that there could have been conflicts of interest. In other words, the production standards and financing stank to high heaven.
So who is Robert Lamb? A partial profile is here. As you see, he ticks almost every greenie activist box – the BBC, the UN, and various right-on pressure groups. His own, self-righteous assessment of his eco-fascist agenda is here. Basically, he set up the Television Trust for the Environment in the 1980s and ran it until around 2005. Over the past few years, he formed and now runs his own outfit called One Planet Pictures. He also helped establish, and is now an executive producer of, Dev TV.
TVE, as I reported yesterday, has mysteriously vanished from the web (on October 24, a B-BBC reader found) and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Under the template created by Mr Lamb, it currently (according to its latest charity commission return – h/t Tony Newbery, Harmless Sky) generates more than £1.4m a year of support from sources that include various greenie tranzis and government departments that have an EU-driven climate change agenda. From the beginning, again under Mr Lamb’s nakedly aggressive political agenda and template, its goal was to disseminate unbridled greenie alarmist propaganda in accordance with the UN agenda. The only surprise really is that it has taken this long for this to be seen as a conflict of interest.
Dev TV and One Planet Pictures – set up, I surmise, on the basis of my own inside information, after Mr Lamb fell out with the TVE trustees – appear to be run on exactly the same lines. I urge you to have a quick look at what they say and how they are structured. Their output is hardcore, unqualified propaganda. And Dev TV’s co-production guidelines here appear to be a recipe for exactly the conflict of interest and undue outside interest that the BBC trustees have now – so belatedly – fingered.
I do hope this signals the end of Mr Lamb’s eco-fascist career. But the BBC both spawned him and has kept him in business for almost 30 years – I suspect that like the hydra, he will keep on going.
Robin it’s good that you and people like you, are exposing these entities, for without you they get to run riot through our society spreading lies, dissembling and distortions to their own ends. Let’s hope that the bright light of publicity will assist in his downfall.
Bravo, sir.
outstanding robin. this couldnt have happened at a better time with the winter moonbat festival that is the IPCC Climate Change Conference taking place 28 Nov – 09 Dec
its in Durban South Africa this year. guaranteed great hot weather. it didnt help the moonbats having it copenhagen last time esp at this time of year when its freezin
The BBC. Liars, scammers, misrepresenters of the truth, prejudiced, bought, infiltrated by leftie ideology, useless.
Totally unfit for purpose. Shame on them, and a curse on their ideologies. The founders would turn in their graves, and then turn again.
An utter disgrace.
Roast Lamb…cassarole Lamb neck fillets…hmmmm
Excellent fail from climate scientist Myles Allen on Newsnight yesterday. He tried to use a loaded die to explain how AGW is “loading” the climate in favour of more extreme weather events. Unfortunately for him his little demonstration failed miserably. He then exaggerated the results of the experiment, claiming there had been “three or four sixes” when in fact we’d seen with our own eyes there had only been two. Is it any wonder so many of us are sceptical? Watch it here – hopefully the link takes you straight to the relevant part. Most amusing.
