A CAPITAL ANSWER

Had to laugh at an interview that took place on Today with the CEO of building compant Costain this morning around 7.20am, The interviewer was desperate to get him to say that the Coalition had made a fatal mistake by cutting back on capital infrastructure projects “too fast” (aka Labour ideology) and he said the opposite. Hilarious stuff, How it must sicken the BBC when they don’t get the answers they want!

    Yes….but he did give one answer they want to the perennial question…’How do we get growth?’

    Answer….’We need to build more infrastructure’…

    ….says the head of the building company that will get many of the contracts.

    I don’t think the BBC will care very much about the odd wrong answer. They pump out so much Labour propaganda 24/7 that ‘wrong’ answers will be swamped by all the leftist/statist ‘correct’ answers they do get.
    They have long ago dropped any pretence at being impartial and now parade their leftist views for all to see and hear. Only a few programmes retain the virtue of impartiality eg Andrew Neil’s shows, the rest just parrot the Labour and Lib Dems hymn sheets.
    People are so used to this biased output that they don’t even notice it and accept it as being true. The BBC has used it state funded, near monopoly, to undermine democracy in Britain.

    Why does the BBC take so long to put radio programmes on iplayer? Today prog ended at 9 am but won’t be up for several hours. Editing out the off-message parts perhaps? Answer please, BBC. I expect they will cite “journalistic reasons” as they do with FoI requests.

      I expect it’s the ‘cuts’.

      ‘the BBC when they don’t get the answers they want’
      It can all be sorted in post.
      For all else, Peter Rippon is now head of Redactions.
      So many uniques, so many more to conjure.

    Yes…and they can’t be bothered to link to each report separately but do have time to read through and link to whichever email/text or other message they get commenting on the report….and more often than not those of a certain viewpoint.

    You guys simply don’t understand: the choice is between austerity and growth. Labour says so, so it must be true. Spending beyond your means is the basis of growth. /sarc
    The coalition are incapable of taking any steps that might create real growth: cutting taxes, reducing foreign aid, stop sending shedloads to Brussels, cutting pointless public expenditure that enriches only lawyers, education and social entitlements for only those paying taxes in UK for previous five years, ending windfarm subsidies to Cameron’s relatives, privatising the bBC, putting money back in ordinary peoples pockets to spend. You will get real economic growth.
    Instead the plonkers at the bBC think the solution is to re-elect the architects of our present misery, Labour.

    Some bloke called Mark Newby was on before this item.
    He spoke on behalf of the Victims or Historical Abuse or such like, so surely he`d be backing the Common Purpose Agenda of the BBC…
    But no…Starmer was in danger of creating serious injustices and miscarriages, said Mark…rushed, populist and ill-thought out,…oh dear, Humph had to be prodded into trying to prevent this ramble off the tracks for CPS/DPP and Police truffle hunts…my God, he`s gone rogue.
    Am I right in thinking that Sheer Starkers got an extra moist bagel, and lots of TLC?…more time to develop his creepy agenda after 8.10?
    I`m sure he did…and Newby and his flag of liberal convenience(with a name like that?…bloody traitors!) won`t be getting another invitation anytime soon!
    Deniers!
    Oh, and we heard of DPP, CPS etc…but-this may shock you-not the BBC …who as we all know had f***all to do with any abuse under their Jimmy!…got that, or else we`ll come round and redact you…got that?
