An astute B-BBC reader asks;
“Have you watched the 4 programme series called “Thats Britain”. The ‘Wall’ records the “hates” of people in the UK. It is noticeable that, for Progs 1,2,3 and 4, ‘wind turbines’ occupied the second most and most prominent central position of large letters on the ‘Wall’. Consequently, by the BBCs reasoning for the Wall , one must assume this is the biggest personal hate in the UK .
1. Why did the BBC NOT feature an investigation into why wind turbines were consistently considered the biggest “hate”?
2. In Prog.2, why should Julia Bradbury, on viewing the ‘Wall’ precedences, utter the words “Weird! that wind turbines are in second place”?
3. When the ‘Wall’ showed the hate of wind turbines in top spot again in Prog.3, Nick Knowles broadcast comment was that he had reviewed what he thought about wind turbines and now thought they were good. His illiterate opinion had not been solicited.
4. Prog.4 again had wind turbines as the most hated and occupying ‘Wall’ central position with the largest type-face to attract attention again. ‘Wall’ discussion by Nick Knowles regarding the wind turbine most hated comprised of “What is wrong with people?”
I wonder if these BBC public broadcasts were vetted to comply with the £8 billion investment of the BBC Pension Fund through Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change? Where was the impartiality of Nick Knowles broadcast unsolicited opinions? As a retired professionally and academically qualified electrical engineer, I am particularly disgusted that the likes of technical illiterates such as Nick Knowles and other broadcasters can continue to plague the public with wind turbine myths and lies. What do you think?”
Well, what else could we expect from the BBBC but very selective vision on the issue of wind turbines, even if the typeface in the incident mentioned were of screen-filling proportions no doubt the programme editor/s would find some way to avoid commenting the obviousness of it. The BBBC does so indulge in elephants in rooms – be it the public’s dislike of wind turbines, or the unspoken potential of shale gas deposits to annihilate phoney ‘renewables’ or even the fact the planet, on all reliable evidence, has been cooling, rather than warming, since 1998.
Such is the mentality of the capital’s metropolitan socialista, of which the BBBC is, of course, stuffed to the gills. To them, wind turbines represent some vague notion of ‘correctness’ in a world full of those evil fossil fuels – never mind that wind turbines make no economic sense, are hugely unreliable and are a complete eyesore.
I wonder for how long the climate alarmists at the BBBC will be able to keep up the pretence? The public mood is clearly going against them on AGW – or remains perilously unconvinced at best, while the science (yes, the ‘settled’ science) continues to deliver all the wrong messages to these witless cretins.
Fear Marketing.
Nedra Weinreich provided following suggestions to make fear marketing campaigns more effective:
Make sure the portrayed consequence of not taking action is severe, but not exaggerated.Make the audience feel that the problem is relevant to them.Provide a specific action that the audience can take to prevent the portrayed consequence from happening.Ensure that the audience believes that the proposed solution is effective in preventing the consequence.Portray the solution as something that the audience can easily do.
But ‘fear marketing’ is a two-edged sword.
Keep ratcheting the ‘fear’ (Catastrophe blah, blah) the target audience tires of fear and moves into irritation and rejection.
The hardcore BBC campaign has moved into this stage.
It has become counterproductive.
Hence the popular flurry about the Attenborough polar bear cubs.
The public is signalling it smells a big environmental rat.
The internet is full of studies from around the world that in general, as ever, as soon as the turbines are proposed for your area, you object.
Only natural…we all have lives to lead.
This is typical (at random). Elsewhere the Beeb goes gooey at popular activism. But not this.

Just watched the opening sequence of Prog 4. Nick Knowles does not seem to properly understand the purpose of the Wall. His dismissal of the very obvious concern of more people than any other to email in is actually quite sinister.
It is clearly irritating to have wind turbines come up every week, but also quite surprising since I can’t help being reminded of the Stalin urban legend “It’s not the people who vote that count. It’s the people who count the votes.”
I suspect soon, wind turbines will mysteriously disappear from the wall…
I don’t properly understand the purpose of Nick Knowles.
The purpose of Nick Knowles is to be a scruffy ignorant arrogant prat
I wish they’d bloody disappear from the countryside and coastline, too…
Interesting that Junk mail, Bus Conductors, missing luggage,
rubbishnand litter, public spirit, pot holes and blood transfusion centre get an episode 1 mention here, but no sight of wind turbines

Some democracy, in which the politicians tell people what they ought to think, instead of listening to what they do think.
We think you’ve got it about wrong, BBC.
BBC in touch with public opinon? Only with a ten-foot pole.
What do the BBC, WWF and FoE all have in common?
1) They hate wild birds so much that they want to halal them all in giant whirling abbatoirs
2) They all get EU money
“1) They hate wild birds so much that they want to halal them al”
Ian, they dont hate birds they just love MONEY more, money and ideology trumps the welfare of birds, they can be viewed as just acceptable collatoral damage. Big eco didnt get where they are today by turning down payoff money and while getting paid they can also con themselves into believing they are saving the planet. Stack that up against the lives of tens of thousands of birds getting shredded every year and its no contest.
Corruption? Both financially & morally
Yet another example of the bubble in which a lot of BBC employees live their life. The bubblista’s are continually telling each other that wind turbines are a good thing, it has become a known-truth within the bubble. And so when somebody (lot’s of people in fact) from outside the bubble suggest the complete opposite to what the bubblista’s believe, they simply cannot comprehend it, and reject it out of hand. They are beyond redemption.
Great picture David.
Now, if only I hadn’t already posted my Xmas cards ………….
