I have been waiting for the BBC to leap into action over allegations of Tory sleaze, corruption and conflicts of interest, so far they have maintained radio silence on the matter.
Normally they would be turning the screw in no uncertain manner…but not in this case…why not?
Is it because Tory Tim Yeo is in the business of promoting the fable of man made climate change and therefore ‘my enemy’s enemy is my friend’ for the BBC?
Guido has broached the subject of ‘ Energy and Climate Change Committee chairman Tim Yeo’s conflict of interests with the green tycoon’s taxi company, Eco City Vehicles.’ and Yeo’s promotion of windfarms whilst having a huge interest in their commercial success.
Yeo loves windfarms…just not in his own constituency backyard….he knows which way the wind blows when it comes to votes….
‘Tim Yeo has pledged his full support to opponents of a wind farm at Chedburgh.
“I fully understand why anybody in a community as beautiful as this will be concerned. On shore wind turbines are visually a very considerable intrusion on any landscape. This happens to be one of the most beautiful parts of my constituency which stretches from here to the coast.”
“You don’t have to take a view about whether you are in favour or against wind energy in principle. This is not about that.”
“But where they are clearly quite inappropriate for the local community as, in my view, they most obviously are here, the voice of the local people should be decisive.”
“Now, unfortunately, of course that is not the way it actually works .” ‘
I did think today that the BBC were on the case:
Steven Nolan standing in for Victoria Derbyshire, spot the difference, asks the question ‘Should MP’s have two jobs?’ (20 mins in)
He asks ‘Does it have an impact on their constituency work?’
We were told by the journalist who broke the story that ‘It is not necessarily a scandal in every case….. 68 out of 650 earn over £10,000/year on top of their MP’s salary, whilst there are 18 earning over £100,000.‘
Tim Yeo earns well in excess of £100,000/year….so he is one of a very select group of well heeled MP’s earning big money from a second job….and yet despite his prominence and the fact that he has been in the news papers recently for his climate change related commercial activities and their potential conflict of interest with his parliamentary duties no mention was made of him.
Yeo stands out a mile…and yet the BBC ignore him.
Why?
It’s not necessarily a scandal….but it doesn’t look good.
Good to see the site back up !
The nature of Yeo’s nice little earner pretty much ensures he gets a free pass from the beeboid sleaze bags.
Watertight oversight.
Holding Power To Account.
Genetic Impartiality.
Getting It About Right.
All nice notions.
If delivered.
Or even attempted to be.
Dominate the pre-pro choices on what is covered, the guests invited on to explain or comment upon it, and the edit of what is summarised at the top of the hour, and you control the message.
And what (or who) gets left out is often as, if not more significant than what is stuck in and worried by Aunty’s terriers… when it suits the narrative to do so.
What we get is incompatible with any entity claiming trust through impartiality.
About the huge and incredibly long-lived bowhead whale, the second biggest species of whale there is, that eats rather a lot and lives entirely in pack iced Arctic and sub-Arctic waters:
“In March, 2008, Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans stated the previous estimates in the eastern Arctic had undercounted, with a new estimate of 14,400 animals. These larger numbers correspond to prewhaling estimates, indicating this population has fully recovered.”
The simple explanation is that the BBC journalists concerned are themselves on the Green gravy train, conflicts of interest is endemic in the left wing media.
No mention of the huge indirect subsidies to the wind industry via he ROCs in this morning’s discussion of a 9% tariff hike in the autumn by one utility – a vague reference to `green initiatives’ was all!
Thes people!!

Apologise for typing errors – done in haste!
What a difference from the b*llocking they gave Yeo over his love children in 1998 –

My brother suggested I might like this blog. He was totally right.
This post truly made my day. You can not imagine
simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
