Why do they categorise this as ‘education’ rather than ‘politics’ or ‘health’?
‘Why do they categorise this as ‘education’ rather than ‘politics’ or ‘health’?
Well if they stuck it under ‘informing’ they might have to stump up who is behind this latest PR ‘chugging’ of our hapless Coalition. http://order-order.com/2012/09/05/partisan-charity-attack-fronted-by-brown-spin-doctor-justin-forysths-child-poverty-ruse-unravels/
Let that be a lesson to them.
Have to love the ‘it’s legit ‘cos everyone knows he’s a Labour stooge’ justification by one commenter, evidently on secondment from BBC CECUTT’s ‘Beware of the Leopard’ squad.
Faultless logic, but one presumes there will be claims of exemption, doubtless for ‘unique’ reasons.
It’s one thing for many know they’re bent; quite another that everybody can plainly see they are.
Tactically, this dude has some worthwhile pointers… http://refspace.com/quotes/The_Art_of_War
Many apply (for how they behave and/or could be confronted), but BBC/TVL/Crapita could do well to pay heed to ‘A leader leads by example not by force.’
😉
As has been pointed out in Guido’s comments (by a commenter with an oddly familiar writing style), can it be mere coincidence that Paul Mason’s first post in more than a month concerns “the growing demand for food banks in Britain”?
Tory Cutz, with a ‘zed’ – love it. Very ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie – out, out, out!’, but that’s the idea, isn’t it. Little Jonesy must dream about being 20 in around 1980…
Chris Grayling, the new Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary used to work at the bBBC. He had the same experience as everyone else. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/chris-grayling-you-ask-the-questions-1515764.html You used to work at the BBC. Do you think it suffers from a liberal bias? Well, even Andrew Marr has admitted it has an “innate liberal bias”. There are a large number of high-quality professionals working in the BBC, particularly in news and current affairs. But I know from the experience of working there that there is a bias in some output, not as a result of an intentional policy, but because of the way many people who work there see life. It’s a problem that needs to be addressed, but I am also aware that it won’t be straightforward for BBC management to change things.
“It is with great sadness that we can confirm that Robert Peston’s beloved wife Sian Busby has passed away after a long illness. Our thoughts are with him and his family at this tragic time.
“Robert will take a short leave of absence from the BBC to return at a later date. We ask that you respect his and his family’s privacy at this difficult time.”
With sincere condolences.
One has always known about the BBC ‘detector vans’, basically rushing about gobbling money to make things up as they go along, but I was surprised to learn this also is admitted as SOP with their journalism…

If it was damaging to Tories it would be Politics, Health, Business, Education, Main page, UK, news page, regional page etc.
Likewise, BBC bias must be legit coz everyone knows it’s a Labour stooge.
Problem solved.

In a nutshell. It’s groupthink resulting from a self-selecting environment. They don’t realize they’re doing it. Mostly, anyway.
With a sad heart I share this, stumbled upon from my teatime browse: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19490209
‘Announcement from BBC Press Office:
“It is with great sadness that we can confirm that Robert Peston’s beloved wife Sian Busby has passed away after a long illness. Our thoughts are with him and his family at this tragic time.
“Robert will take a short leave of absence from the BBC to return at a later date. We ask that you respect his and his family’s privacy at this difficult time.”

‘We always detected the “hand of Gordon” in Tony Blair’s cabinet reshuffles.
When it comes to David Cameron’s first major reshuffle, I detect “the hand of George”.
Not sure the flip from that chummy ‘we’ to ‘I’ really gets around the fact that he seems to taking a punt and calling it analysis.
I kind of miss getting news simply reported.
