Last week, as Labour prepared for their conference, the BBC shilled about how “united” they were. One week on, as the Conservatives prepare for their conference, the meme is “division”…oh, and “cuts”….
“Further cuts to welfare, including curbs on housing benefit, may be needed to help fight the deficit, David Cameron has warned. Speaking on first day of the Conservative Party conference, the prime minister said housing benefit may be reviewed for under-25s.
He promised “further action” to ensure the rich “pay their fair share”. But senior Tories have ruled out a tax on expensive properties or a one-off “wealth tax” backed by the Lib Dems.
The BBC love the class war angle and depressingly Cameron serves it up to them.
And Channel 4 did the same.
The Tory conference was shown in terms of marching, mocking shouty unions and assorted lefties outside.
The followed Hague being asked about Grant Shapps…non of that Foreign Office stuff.
Then came Michael Crick waddling behind Grant Shapps as if he was Donal McIntyre doorstepping a used car conman.
Isn`t it about time that the likes of Guru-Murthy were asked about their tax affairs and why they seem to worry so much about the “mansion Tax”?
If only-the Tories are one long procession of self-abasing clueless cringers in the face of the media…a load of Tessa Jowells in the harem of Jimmy Savile!
Pathetic!

They have to try to contrast with Ed ‘comprehensive school’ Miliband’s weird notion of One Nation Labour.
That is of course One Nation of losers, shirkers, scroungers, benefits-dependents but not the workers, private sector entrepreneurs, savers and investors.

If your sole means of news output is the BBC, you’d be forgiven for not even knowing that the Conservatives are having their conference this week.

Those who live by the media die by the media. Cameron is playing in a rigged game, and he doesn’t seem to have the steel necessary to grab the card-sharps wrist and call them out. He is scared of the bBC and they know it, and don’t care. He has appeased too often to be taken seriously as a threat.
Where is BBC Chairman Chris Patten the token inside Tory? Time for payback, activate the internal Blue Ninja? Oh, gone native, out to lunch again, the worthless freeloader.

“Last week, as Labour prepared for their conference, the BBC shilled about how ‘united’ they were.”
Do you have any evidence to back up that claim?
A selection of BBC headlines from last Sunday (30th September):
Unions ‘not pulling Miliband’s strings’
Labour conference: Miliband dismisses union attack
Labour and general strike: GMB, Unison and Kevin Maguire
Labour Conference: Ed Miliband in union pay freeze row
Newspaper review: Ed Miliband comes under scrutiny
Labour Conference: David Miliband plays down leadership poll
Surely you’re not just “making stuff up”? That doesn’t sound like you at all.

“Surely you’re not just “making stuff up”? That doesn’t sound like you at all.”
You’re right there. It sounds more like you.

Oh Dez…dear dopey Dez!
Those were LAST SUNDAYS headlines…BEFORE the Blessed ED and His One Nation Party of the People “did their t`ang”.
Now give us the same equivalents AFTER Miliband gave us the message we were all waiting to hear.
Anybody heard from McClusky or Prentis since?…no, me neither!
Dez-if I never thought you were a rigged-up BBC figure fiddler before…I do now.
I ought to get you reported on “More Or Less”…one of the few BBC programmes where truth at least has a berth!
