Labour Send “Solidarity” to New Newsnight Editor
Just what the new Newsnight economics editor needs when he is being accused of being too close to the Labour Party, the Labour deputy leader sending him public solidarity on Twitter:
@DuncanWeldon sorry to c Mail attacks on you. Sending u solidarity Hang on in there. Horrid but they’ll give up after a bit. H—

Yes, completely.
The BBC is a labour puppet.

Exactly, those tweets damn them entirely, are they so ***king thick they think we do not notice? Maybe it’s because they do not care what we think…..which marks them down as downright evil….which they are……scum.

I know Harperson is irredeemably stupid, but surely even she should be able to see the irony of sending that message as Deputy Führer of the Labour Party.

‘Harperson is irredeemably stupid’
More than supported by testimony from colleagues past and current following her PIE troubles.
However, to rise to the top of the political sewer one has to presume the antennae for what is box of rocks dumb politically to post on a public broadcast system like twitter are fairly well attuned.
To do so was either mind-bogglingly lacking in savvy, or a defiant ‘bring it on’ and the hell with the consequences.
Post Ralph wrecking she possibly felt the DM was exposed enough to dare, but I doubt the BBC will feel it was too helpful as they weather endless legitimate questions on how they are stuffing the staff cubicles like a Tower Hamlets community voting adviser stuffs ballots.
To do so so publicly makes one wonder just what the flow of ‘support’ is each way between Labour and the BBC is that goes unseen under the public radar.

On the basis that the BBC won’t be broadcasting H’s vote of support for the BBC whatever they do to the 75-80% of the public who rely on them for news – no harm done.
Whereas on Twitter – which is a Lefty flash mob – she has simply added another two’penn’th to the weight of hate for DM thereby rallying support to herself and her own dodgy past choices as highlighted by said newspaper (and very noticably not by the BBC).

I suppose her message was based on her experiences with the Daily Mail over the PIE allegations. Eventually they give up. Welll Harriet we won’t. Come the election the slogan will emerge: ‘If you want a paedo for a neighbour vote Labour’. There is no giving up, and the BBC need to realise that their Labour plant in Newsnight will never be regarded as unbiased.

Labour-promoting Beeboids censor on ‘toff’ Miliband.
In their casual assessment of ‘PMQ’ today, Radio 5’s P. Allen & J. Pienaar concurred in saying that P.M Cameron was an easy target for Labour as a ‘toff’. Nowhere did they indicate that Labour’s Miliband could be designated a ‘toff’:-
“Miliband: A million pound baby.
“Asset millionaire Miliband poses as a Bash Street Kid who is going to sock it to the ‘toffs’. But it is Miliband who is the toff and it is the strivers that he will hammer.”
By Andrew Gibson.

So the BBC thinks ‘toffs’ are an easy target.
Funny, Brown thought that at the Crewe by-election a few years ago but ended up getting his arse kicked (electorally, that is).
I’d love to see what the BBC definition of ‘toff’ actually is. Can Dez or Danny enlighten us? Wonder if Tristram hunt might fit the category, or Blair, or Churchill. Tsk, can’t be easy, but I’m sure the BBC will have it boxed off in their guidelines somewhere.

Toff:- any Tory Voter who is one tenth as posh as Harriet or one tenth as rich as Blair.

Why send it publicly via Twitter rather than a private message via e-mail? Obviously HH wanted everyone to know of her support for the biased-BBC.

Exactly – they make no attempt to hide it now. Unbelievable arrogance.
But then again if you’re Harman or the BBC, you’re untouchable.

How she would carry on if he had been a Tory candidate. That said the more she’s on television the more she turns off potential Labour voters.
