I love the BBC’ s lack of pretence that it desperately wants to see Francois Hollande become the next French President. Here’s a cute little item from the BBC’s Hugh Schofield headed. “Nicolas Sarkozy: Why is the French president so disliked?” With his plans to increase the upper tax threshold to 75%, abandon any attempt at austerity and pursue hard core Socialist plans on business, it’s easy to see why the BBC love Francois.
A SOCIALIST WIN IS A BBC WIN..

al beeb did an article on him from Marsaille of all places, A nice place to pick up the immigrant vote I suspect, seeing as there are no French left there.
Let him win – he has the right ideas on immigration and ‘uman rights, but will clearly be a disaster for the economy – (C-rated French government bonds, anyone?). I guess the BBC will never learn, but then they will not be able to point so directly down the socialist path when it all crashes down!
I noticed a BBC article on the News 24 channel which roughly claimed, “the French have to choose between a well liked interesting socialist orator who woos the crowds, or a pro business political hard-man who has his dissenters”!
They didn’t mention that Hollande has never held any political office and is inexperienced, with damaging, weird tax and spend ideology.
The bBC overlook the unholy alliance between the very strong French Communist Party PCF and the Socialists PS.
Equally the Front National FN has to decide where to go in the Presidential run-off. The bBC are so busy shilling for their man they forget their job is analysis and news reporting, not cheerleading from the sidelines. How poorly we are served, at such huge expense, by our national broadcaster.
It’s funny how the BBC likes to put forth the notion that austerity by itself is never the answer (as if that’s actually what anyone is doing, which is a false Narrative), and that there needs to be a balanced approach. Yet the approach they approve never includes any cuts at all and is exclusively Socialist and redistributive.
What a perceptive comment. “Austerity” is indeed a false message. What we need is some real austerity, and a proper sense of priorities e.g. far fewer civil servants (what do they do?)
The BBC were desperate to blow air into the collapsed lungs of the career of the awful Segolene Royale, who Sarkozy consigned to the bin in 2007.
We now get her ex-partner-Hollande-as the punchbag, and I hope that Sarkozy bins him as well. I`m no fan of Sarko-but when I see the BBC as biased against him as they are-then he has GOT to be the only candidate worth supporting.
Means too that Miliband is deprived of his baguette of a crutch that Hollande would be.
And, of course, INBBC supports Hollande-Islam alliance.
