When all is gloom and your left wing soul is weary, you can rely upon Harriet Harman to sent out some upbeat insubstantial drivel and the BBC to treat it as if it were the wisdom of Solomon. Yesterday, Hattie was pointing out that Miliband had nothing to apologise for over the utter debacle of Falkirk. That was a gem given that Miliband and those who advise him were bang to rights following the “investigation” into the allegation of Unison fixing the by-election selection process. Today, Hattie is off to tell the gathering of her paymasters in Bournemouth that “Labour is on their side”. Well, of COURSE Labour is “on their side” since Labour is a fully owned subsidiary of the Trade Unions, and Miliband is where he is because of the votes from the Union barons. As time goes on, and Miliband is exposed as a dithering lightweight, this is tough one for the BBC. It reminds me of Michael Foot days. You KNOW the BBC are backing Labour but you know that the own goals being scored by Miliband may yet end up giving us a Conservative led coalition again in 2015.
For anyone in any doubt as to the dangerous insanity of the policies of Harperson take a read of this:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/4949555/Harriet-Harman-under-attack-over-bid-to-water-down-child-pornography-law.html
Harman has a long history of campaigning to relax the laws on Paedophilia and that in my belief makes her completely unsuitable as a member of Parliament.
As for Milibands chances of winning the next election, he had a commanding lead over the Tories, he could have capitalised over the Syria vote which has a 74% approval rating, he has started a needless battle with the Unions to lose his own funding. It’s like he’s trying to destroy his chances in the next election instead of maximising them.
But a party leader does not operate in isolation, so who ever is advising him also must be pretty self destructive too.
I’d have had some begrudging respect for her if she’d simply advocated greater attempts at rehabilitation of non-acting paedophiles, consistent with treating other mental illnesses and in no way a replacement for criminal punishment of the crimes they commit (e.g. downloading child porn). But she seemed to believe they should basically be let off the hook, which doesn’t help the paedophile and is dangerous to the public. Plus it’s totally inconsistent with the rest of her output, i.e. that men are the centre of all evil in the world.
I have no respect for her – she lobbied for the crime of paedophilia to be taken off the statute books. Like Hodge’s support for child abusers, this must never, ever be forgotten.
At least the BBC enquiry will keep the TUC conference off our screens today. Shame about tomorrow though. No doubt another special BBC “Save Ed and Labour” effort being scripted and rehearsed at Payoff Palace.
I’m sick of seeing this infuriating woman on the TV. Like every other Liebour socialist she is full of lies, politically correct feminist crap and a greed for pure power to hell with the consequences for the country. She really is disgusting and why the BBC are giving her and the rest of those Labour clowns so much airplay is simply beyond me. Ah, I forget… the BBC is Labour’s propaganda arm, full to the brim with middle-class arts and humanities students still living in their puerile sixties love and peace dream.
Wrong. Harriet knows best what is right for all of us. Just do what she says and everything will be alright.
Ah, the Conference Season. Top quality day time entertainment. A month of wall to wall lying and sanctimonious tripe all commented on with semi detached smugness by BBC pundits.
Best of all is the TUC conference. Like an extended edition of “Walking with Dinosaurs” featuring Bob Crowasaurus and Len “homo erectus” McCluskey.
All this AND live coverage of the internecine conflict at the top of the Beeb.
What a month!
2010: Labour’s HARMAN and her ‘Unite’ husband DROMEY-
“Forget the sisterhood… Harriet’s husband needs a safe seat: Harman ‘goes missing’ for key meeting on all-women shortlists”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249099/Harriet-Harmans-husband-needs-safe-seat.html
“Harman’s MP husband forced to apologise after failing to declare £60,000 in payments from Unite union”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2089020/Labour-minister-forced-apologise-MPs-failing-declare-60-000-payments-Unite-union.html
Note how BBC-NUJ report avoids any reference to fact that Labour Party’s HARMAN. of course, supported her husband, (and ‘Unite’ official) DROMEY, being short-listed for safe Labour seat, so that he too is now a Labour Party MP.
“The Red Princes: Third Dromey Trying to Get on the Gravy Train”
http://order-order.com/2012/09/27/the-red-princes-third-dromey-trying-to-get-on-the-gravy-train/
Jack Dromey, miraculously selected for a women-only short-list in a safe seat.
Harperson’s loony feminism only goes so far.
Likewise her support of local ‘bog standard’ comps. Mind you was not one of her mentors Saint Shirley (F@@K Grammar Schools, my kin all go independent) Williams – How do these delusional hypocrites sleep?
Shirley Williams? Yes her kids went Private.
Ed Ball’s dad campaigned against Grammar schools in Norfolk. Where did Ed go? Private school.
Diane Abbott’s son? Private school.
Harperson? Both sons went to Grammar school…though Labour are against selective education.
Polly Toynbee? Her daughter went to the most expensive school in Britain…Westminster
What the liberal-left wish on your kids is NOT what they wish on their own.
My respect for their integrity is immense.
I stand corrected on Shirley Williams. It wasn’t private…its worse
“While in office (1976-79) Williams advocated the comprehensive school system and abolition of grammar schools. In June 2012 she cited comprehensive schools as her greatest achievement, stating, “I have never in any way regretted them and I still believe strongly in them. The problem was that in many places they were heavily skimmed because people kept grammar schools in place beside them”. As her daughter Rebecca approached secondary school age, Williams moved into the catchment area of Godolphin and Latymer school allowing Rebecca (her daughter) to take the eleven plus examination and gain a place”
Thank you Wikipedia for correction
The old quote perfect again:
Champagne Socialism – Champagne for them. Socialism for you.
……or Trade Union leaders sermonizing about greed and inequality when (according to the Tax Payers Alliance) 37 of them demand to be paid over £100,000 a year, and Derek Simpson of Unite asks for and receives a salary of just under £200,000 a year…..a book about their greed and hypocrisy would have to run to many volumes, and be updated each year.
And today Labour’s HARMAN, who was instrumental in setting up the BBC Trust in 2007, is saying that the BBC Trust should be kept on.*
Harman makes a sound-bite (and no argument) claiming Trust’s existence is in licence-payers’ interests(!)- and she concludes that, even before listening to today’s hearing of Public Accounts Committee on the issue!
*(No link available on that at moment.)
‘a sound-bite (and no argument) claiming Trust’s existence is in licence-payers’ interests’
So, pretty much a ‘because we say so’ in lockstep with the entire BBC market rate whispering corridors and any closed-by-lunchtime editor’s outing.
Thing is, when rude facts keep raining on that parade, she and the BBC simply end up looking daft.
C’mon standard reply “Balance just about right”
