    This morning on Radio Five “gets much worse” Live, Nicky “Gameshow” Campbell became particularly agitated by the Prime Minister’s statement that if he was re-elected at the forthcoming election then he would stand down as leader before the end of the next parliament. The victim of Campbell’s manic attention this morning was the unfortunate Michael Fallon, Defence Minister. When Fallon tried to inform the now demented Campbell that under our constitution it would be for the Prime Minister alone to decide upon an appropriate time to step down from office during the next Parliament, “Gameshow” responded by spewing forth a tidal flow of inanities which devalued the entire interview. “Gameshow” suffers from a complaint which my late mother would refer to as “verbal diarrhoea,” which he appears unable to control and undermines any credibility he might otherwise claim to have as a radio journalist. He is incapable of undertaking any balanced research into the subjects that will be discussed during the Breakfast Programme and is simply content to act as a talkshow prima donna. The barrage of verbal utterings from “Gameshow” became so intense during the interview that I almost fell off my exercise bicycle and had to go outside for some fresh air. I am sure Michael Fallon would have preferred the relative sanity of an army firing range to what he had to endure in the studio! “Gameshow” can seriously indermine your natural balance!

      Yesterday when discussing the harrassment of Farage and family he was at his inane worst prompting me to text the show;

      “You are a total and utter c**t Campbell”.

    R4 Today prog.
    Humphrys interviewing some Tory about Cameron’s promise to spare us a possible three terms of him as PM. Humpy went on and on about this total irrelevancy.
    Tory should have asked Humpy, in view of his age what plans the BBC had to replace him on Today and Mastermind. Would the BBC use a quota based selection process, based on left wing other world politics, and EMB female only, unless gay criteria?
    Would love to have heard the reply.
    Earlier we had Gregg Dyke former chairman of BBC on, lamenting the absence of English players in the top divisions of the football league and wanting to do something about it.
    How about too many players are hideously black Mr Dyke? What’s good enough for the BBC…..

      It speaks volumes about the bubble that the BBC and, to be fair, the rest of the media live in that such prominence and endless analysis has been given to Cameron’s promise. Few outside the bubble pay more than passing interest as to how this handover in five years’ time might be achieved; they’re more interested in who might be in power this May.

      Assuming they give a stuff in the first place, as long as their diet of Eastenders and Corrie is maintained.

        Cameron is often accused of being an administrator with no sense of ‘mission’. I’ve long thought that he sees delivering a ‘Yes’ vote on Europe as his ‘legacy’. He’s right, of course; that would guarantee his place in history. There is general agreement that he will not do five years since a new leader has to get established before the election. He’ll likely go after the vote.

        Essex Man has pinned his hopes on a ‘No’ vote in the referendum. He’s going to discover that Call Me Dave has one last knife in the back planned for true believers like himself.

          As in the Scottish Referendum business warns of the risks as they see it of leaving, but in virtually all of the reports beyond the headline business says the EU is broken.

          Why do they not tell us (and “Dave”) what they want changed such that if we get to the stage of presenting what we want changed he can speak with rather more authority.

          As I understand it the Labour policy is “to change the EU from within”.

          Anyone seen a list of what they want changed (thought not), which could bolster our approach to the EU to say we are united on these matters.

          The other most important thing is a couple of opinion polls in favour and see the difference from Brussels. The Scots got loads extra for that one rogue poll, didn’t they!

              So we now know where you stood on the Scottish question, and that you think Alex Salmond is delusional.

              “Unfortunately Europe is broken.” You mean we have all borrowed too much, paid ourselves too much, are living beyond our means, are governed largely by an organisation with no accountabilty, unable to control our borders? Is the Euro a saviour or curse for those trapped inside it?

              Please expand and most importantly supply your solution(s).

              It would be wonderful to see your theories put forward and thus get to know what ticks your boxes on Europe.

              Strange the UK PLC seems to have managed pretty well before the EU existed. It managed to be the World’s leading economy for many years. Or was this because we oppressed half the global population?

              The basis of the EU formation was to act as a uniform trading unit resembling then number 1, the USA. It was never intended that it become a political policy making unit. Things have moved on since then. Recently to Japan and now China. USA debt to China is the realms of the unbelieveable.

          Don`t put words into my mouth . I would vote on the result of any renegotiation of our EU membership . If it was unsatisfactory, I would vote to leave. but any referendum is not done & dusted to exit . The SNP , Plaid & others may insist that if England votes “No” & they vote “Yes” ,they can veto what England decides. As I said, the only reason it won`t happen, is because Millipeed/SNP will be in power . So unless the Tories get in at the election , nothing will happen . You can all shout me down , but those are the only possible outcomes . If you are so sure ukip, will be the the next Govt. gamble all your saving`s & house on it at the bookies.

            … if Mr Cameron holds on to office, he will head off to Brussels to “renegotiate” our terms of membership. The snag is that they are not renegotiable. He will be committed to announce success however few petifogging little concessions he is given and campaign to accept them. And if Ukip has crashed, from where will the advocates of a “Brexit” organise their campaign?

    Britain to boost Falklands Islands defences
    The traitorous bBC who informed the Argentine armed forces of what was happening during 1982, which cost the lives of so many British servicemen reports that the nasty evil British are going to reinforce the Falkland Islands in light of the news that Argentina is going to purchase the Su24. They then show a stock photo of a group of DPM wearing soldiers walking down Sapper Hill towards Stanley. Err bBC the armed forces don’t wear DPM, they wear MTP and have done for at least 5 years. Hell even our cadet forces wear MTP.

    As for the Russian SU24 angle, that fell through last month, as did the Saab Grippen sale, currently Argentina is looking at purchasing 20 Chinese JF17.

        The fact remains both Argentina and Russia have made aggressive moves towards the UK:
        Argentina under its present government have increased the rhetoric to the extent where they are now increasing their military expenditure (33% last year alone) at a time when it isn’t at any threat (Both internal or external) and where the money could be better spent elsewhere.
        Russia has been even more aggressive,only last week they threatened to nuke Denmark if they joined the Anti ballistic missile screen
        As for the Government diverting attention. This blog is about the bBC, not the people in power which is why I can quote from the bBC’s reinforcing the falklands article this little salient snippet:
        “Argentine forces landed on the Falklands on 2 April 1982 to stake a territorial claim, “
        Really?, they just landed did they and didn’t come ashore at Moody brook gun blazing on the Royal Marine Barracks in which to take out the RM naval party based there. Problem was the bootnecks were dug in elsewhere which is why they they took out an Argie APC .

        Its this constant rewording of the English language by the bBC in which to promote its leftwing stance which we should be talking about.
        Standard government procedure, more like Standard bBC procedure.

      Except for the fact Labour isnt in favour of privatisation and the donor gave in 2012 when the Tories sold a US company interests in the NHS,the story might hold water. There are a considerable number of Tory donors with direct interests in companies operating in the NHS. Lots of other conservatives too.
      The only way out of this is for parties to be publicly suported and no donors allowed. Mp’s should also only have one job ,that of being an MP.

        Fair superficial point as ever and a fitting suggestion for a socialist, who love nothing better than spending other people’s money, until it usually runs out when Labour are handling matters.

        Now please develop your theory into telling us how much the taxpayer should pay to each party. A flat sum of £x so the BNP, SWP and MRLP get the same as Labour?

        Ah, you will say No, rather proportionate to their vote. Now is that vote to be the local elections, European elections, national elections. Is the money divided up nationally or to the four nations separately? What %age will you have to get to qualify for any money.

        If only state funding is allowed how do you set up a new party such as UKIP, SNP or the Greens to achieve qualification?

        Please flesh out your ideas to allow peer review (if I may borrow that phrase).

    Is it not incredible that within 5 years we have been the decriminalisation of explicit homosexuality and the exposure of extensive ‘Westminster linked paedophila’ (PIE network) to be given whitewash by Cameron in his very first months in office (Freedoms Act 2010) – exonerates under age perps) and the tax payer funded Stonewall campaigns championed homosexual minority ‘rights’ over and above the vast majority of parents, children and those with family moral values. The male victims ignored for ‘jolliification’ of the BBC media and its frenzied supporters ignore the target ‘victims’ those that have survived psychologically damaged by the ordeal by the very people who they thought (as children) they could trust. Ignored by subsequent media and government, as ex post facto. BBC Abuses ‘normalised’ by Cameron and Co. but the effect will never go away, and the state still sponsors the perpetrators, as they have ‘rights’ over and above the rest of population that would never, ever vote for it given the choice. The male victims will not be supported by the perps, the left, or the right, it may even be ‘illegal’ to help a male victim who is not, and never will be gay but has been abused in the same way. It is time that we reviewed the public funding money that promotes BBC ‘ethical values’ then withdraws money from the male victims who need counselling. That is perverse.

    Yep! … omitted from BBC News, they had no problem getting her airtime yesterday.

    How about the snippet about David Cameron
    “talking about a Conservative gathering of ‘your” white, working class people, Out of all the people that were there Afzal says to me, ‘Let’s wait here, he’ll come to us.’ David Cameron walked up to us and said, ‘Afzal, how are you? How is your campaign?’ We had a good five or 10-minute chat, the way we’re chatting now.
    … Out of all the people in the room”
    Again LBC not the BBC
    (500 people in a Conservative meeting) …
    “We don t go to him, he ll come to us”
    Cameron was walking around the room, everyone else, people making a beeline for him, trying to get his attention
    … but he walks straight over to Afzal and greets him, how you doing, how s the campaign going.
    (check it out, its on 16 mins at the LBC Interview, higher in the thread)
    … the petrodollars paying him well?, maybe its the kickbacks from IsF
    “I want London to stand alongside Dubai as one of the great capitals of Islamic finance anywhere in the world”
    How about the angle, to move Mr Afzal up the Toryboy ranks?

    That is one of most telling points of that interview
    … nothing but a corrupt traitor and quisling, put that along with
    an arrogant, patronising, silver spoon national liability.

    Would this be the same Campbell who was involved in the outing of David Kelly? How does that compare with Jeremy Clarkson’s misdemeanours, BBC?

    I watched this yesterday interview with Tommy Robinson with Andrew Neil talking about the latest scandal. They cut him off as he’s starting to mention Rotherham and the police (but they only give him about 4 minutes anyway). But what was interesting to me is that at the very beginning there’s technical difficulties as Neil can’t seem to hear Tommy although the audience can (which helps truncate the interview a bit more) and then as the sound’s being fixed on 22 seconds a labour campaign poster regarding the NHS pops up very briefly on the screen. You can pause it for yourselves and see. Of course, it might just be part of glitches they were trying to work out and I didn’t see the whole show, so they could have been showing that picture earlier on and it is just a genuine mistake. But to me it still seems very dodgy. Very subliminal.

If you have a dictionary written by those people intent on misinforming the reader then it might read right wing, however seeing as right wing means small government and as little nationalisation as possible then Fascism would be very definitely LEFT wing.

      ‘We’re modern/progressive’ seems to be the core boast of the self-satisfied leftist. Modern humans have been around 200k years, but they show the common behaviours of all mammals which have been around for 66 million years. Yet the bearded Trots go to our ‘universities’ and assure the spotty students that the human race has been waiting for them to come up with their ideas for ‘change’. The funniest modern comedians are all lefties, but it’s them – not their jokes – that are funny!

              You mean the process where an immigrant does a job for low wages and the state takes on to pay tax credits, housing benefit, health service, education and pension for the immigrant and their extended families. It’s a Ponzi scheme. It’s odd, given your superior education, that you don’t recognise that.

Unions running industry? Unburied dead FFS? That’s what Thatcher had to deal with and she was elected with a majority every time the british people were asked. Three times. I hated her too because I was a teenager (and watched too much BBC). Facts. Deal with them. I’ve had to.

              Labour always destroys. Reducing the gap between rich and poor by making everybody poorer. Its all they know. Spite, idleness, envy, theft – the core motivations of the left.

    Yesterday, Guido disclosed details of Labour’s cash for influence scandal – the hapless senior Labourite, Chris Leslie, offering a ‘donor’ the chance to influence the Labour manifesto in return for a lump of Wonga.

    http://order-order.com/2015/03/23/chris-leslie-offered-fake-donor-manifesto-influence/

    Well, as it happens, this lunchtime, on the DP the BBC had the opportunity to have it out with studio guest Leslie.

    Not a word. Gobsmackingly, nothing about this serious matter passed their lips. Actually, the other strange thing is that Leslie ought to have been keeping his head down…what on earth would have made him think that it was safe to venture into a BBC studio? What agreements, nods, winks had been reached with the DP’s producers?

    We’ve said it before on these pages; if he was a Tory, Leslie would have been pinned to the floor and Cameron would have been pursued all day with the BBC demanding to know why Leslie hadn’t been suspended and what sort of inquiry would be launched.

    The bias within the BBC has been a feature of its culture for years, I have though, never before, known it to be on the scale of this last couple of months, or it being so blatant.

        You think that’s legit? The people’s flag is deepest red and all that… but you think the Labour Party should set its policies to suit big money rather than the proles? Progressives are pretty flexible in their thinking.

          I know there’s a lot of faux outrage at this (whichever the party). You should know by now I have no ‘leftist’ leanings. Surely people who provide funding to any political party should, as any other party supporter, have the opportunity to provide input to policy development. Or perhaps only those people who don’t provide the party with funding should have such input, and their input should cease if they stick their hand in their pocket? Why else would anybody fund the Labour Party, or the Tories, or the Libdums, if not to buy influence and meet people?

          “but you think the Labour Party should set its policies to suit big money rather than the proles?” Of course I don’t. It’s just the reality of our politics. Chris Leslie seems to me to be saying “Thanks sucker, keep your money coming and send through your other ‘ideas’ so I can ignore them at my leisure. Ta.”

          Maybe ‘..has done wrong..’ was a loose word choice. Perhaps ‘..has done out of the ordinary.’ would have been better.

            I take your point about it being nothing out of the ordinary, I’m sure you’re probably right. Still; it would be good to think that, say, a businessman would give the Tories money because a Tory government would ensure a better ‘climate for business’, rather than as a seeming payment for a policy change.

But straight businesses would have no problem if we revert to a ‘common market’ arrangement. Do you think German companies wouldn’t still want to sell in the UK?

No. It wouldn’t. Recognise your fear, and adopt a more positive outlook. How could the UK and its residents ever fear such a scenario? We did perfectly well until the 1960’s economically.

                    No government grew an economy. Ever. Men and women did that, cooperating with one another. Economies grow when they are not handicapped or interfered with by government. Hence: Labour = country harmed, Tory = country harmed (but less so).

    One can call a table a chair and it remains a table. If one keeps calling it a chair it eventually become known as a chair but for all intents and purposes it is still a table.

    If you sit on it it does become a chair however . It depends on whether you use a functional approach or a nominative approach.
    Especially pertinant if you talk about more abstract things like justice for example.

        Your contributions are welcome. There should be clear water between the new right and the liberal left establishment .There really is nothing to debate any more and personal abuse is pointless. Shouting out of car windows at the traffic if you like.
        I suggest you look at the writings of those on the right who are absolutely nothing to do with any current organisation. I recommend Takuan Seiyo and Daniel Greenfield for a start. Vogelin is good as well. Have a look at Saint Exupery . None are British and they are becoming much read.
        The underlying driver for the new right is the fear that Western civilisation is dying of mediocrity and absurd fantasy politics and economics and that this century will see it’s demise. This does not mean that this fear leads us to embrace any form of authoritarianism,.
        The insult fascist is tiresome. Come back when you can write without insults.

          Hi Dave. Well put.

          To be clear, when I use the term ‘Fascist left’ it is not meant as an insult. It is a description of a socialist mentality married to an acceptance and or encouragement of the use of force/violence/stigma to assert their ideology on others and to mute dissenting opinion.

I was pointing out the fact that the bbc has well and truly buried the story of an ex Labour mayor robbing £66000 and getting north of 3 years for it. Now switch that little Eco trendy low power bulb on in your head and try and imagine what the response would have been if for arguments sake he had been from UKIP ?

      Danczuk is right and is moderate and sensible in his response. This is not a fight KH should be picking. He’s part of the solution, not part of the problem. He takes his responsibilities seriously and is walking a political and social tightrope with a full understanding of his constituency demographic and the intellectual cancer in his party. Whatever he does or says, he will be attacked from all angles. I won’t pretend the flag photo-op doesn’t rankle with me, but I won’t shovel more grief in the direction of a good man. He deserves support.

    But the report suggests he was ‘probably’ throwing it away and that it was ‘plausible’ to say he was throwing it away.
    The headline reveals the BBC agenda. Over to the race baiters in UAF et al.

    The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found the operation targeting Mr Duggan was “appropriate”.
    Its three-and-a-half-year investigation cleared the Metropolitan Police of any wrongdoing.

    BBC seems to be leaking the news that Jeremy Clarkson is going to be sacked later today.
    I don’t think any of us would be surprised by this, but we must be prepared to make the most of the backlash against the BBC and its execs who made the decision.
    The spineless Tories are never going to tackle the BBC and now they’re out of office, so make sure that their candidates know they’re not getting your vote because of their inability to fight a paper bag ! (Even if you do intend to vote for them!).

    Re the new design on BBBC website, if you’re looking for the Have Your Say on the Home page you won’t find it . You have to click on the Share With The BBC and as as the screen changes it say in small letters. have your say under the banner top left. I found it through a post on Beeb Tech Blog. What an abortion the new site is and best of all with the brightness of the site I now have a Migraine.

    A major story this morning on BBC bias regards the EU and its failure to cover the debate MPs on European Scrutiny Committee finds.

    http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/mar/25/bbc-pushes-back-after-mps-criticise-lack-of-coverage-of-committee

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/11493144/BBC-coverage-of-European-Union-is-biased-and-letting-down-viewers-MPs-find.html

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32045290

    As everyone who has complained to the BBC will know, the BBC doesn’t do criticism because it is perfect, and it has simply brushed all of it aside as ignorant, and dangerous because MPs are interfering in it’s output.


    The BBC’s coverage of the European Union is biased and letting down viewers, MPs have concluded in a scathing report.

    The Corporation is failing its own promise to cover Europe impartially and there remain “deep concerns” about the breadth of topics investigated, the European Scrutiny Committee said.

    The committee said it was deplorable bosses repeatedly refused invitations to appear before MPs and said the Corporation must show it can cover all sides of the debate on Europe”

    So it’s official! MPs have found the BBC to be biased, the BBC and the Guardian however appear more concerned about the BBC’s response and denials.

      The BBC reactions in the Graun piece are rather nifty examples of the Teflon arrogance the staff and corporation possess.

      ‘Reminding’ elected officials to back off based on an internally-treasured notion of independence long since lost.

      Or Lord Pantone brushing off a clear mistake in trying to weasel out of even answering questions with a petulant denial.

      An unelected elite clinging to its last vestiges of power. I sense blood in the water.

    Yes but they found it biased against the EU ie Pro UKIP which should make you happy shouldnt it? If not why not?
    Its also interesting how you defer to the findings of MPs.You clearly give credence to a group of people that many rate below Estate Agents in terms of integrity.

      That really is desperation stuff!
      It’s a cross party group of MPs not just one individual, or a group from one party.
      Why should I be happy that more people are finding what we have been claiming for years? The problem is there and now it’s official, and yet again the BBC are in full denial mode.
      Sadly the Clarkson sacking is likely to cover up this important issue.

        Whats desparate.

        The MPs found a UKIP bias in the BBC and you are apparently unhappy. Why is that.Is it because youve hammered on for centuries about it being left wing and it turns out its been ignoring a cherrished left wing devil.

        On Clarkson do you think that hitting someone at work is OK?

          Believe it or not I don’t wait with fingers poised for your responses !
          Perhaps you can point to the pro UKIP bias because the early news reports do not support that.

          However as many of us have found when dealing with the BBC,

          “BBC bosses seemed to be more intent on defending and asserting their own opinions, mindset and interpretation of impartiality obligations rather than saying whether they had actually delivered them. ”

          As for the Clarkson issue neither you nor I know what went on because that information has not yet been released. Unless of course you are party to information we are not?

            Any organisation like the BBC who receives millions – MULTI MILLIONS – masses of money the root of all evil – to promote the EU is going to do it!

            That is the basis of the problem I would think, which is at extreme odds, together with its charter to be unbiased.

            OK so you dont want to answer the Clarkson question.
            Then I presume you dont support the petition on retaining him at the BBC on the basis there is no evidence of culpability on his part. In fact everyone should shut up until the facts are known although it has to be said that James May was aware of a dust up eary on in the proceedings.
            I take it you dont however support the idea of people being hit by collegues at their place of work though.

            On the issue of bias , this site has consistently inferred left wing bias through implied stance and reported news,most often as not from the Mail and Telegraph.

            In the same way I put it to you that a news organisation that underplays the importance of an organisation is most definitly supporting the opponents of that organisation.
            The biggest opponents of the EU are UKIP therefore it follows that the BBC are lending support to UKIP and are not ,as widely assumed on this site, supporting a cabal of left wing bureacrats at Brussels.

          Stop making things up. The report clearly stated that the BBC was biased against those who were critical of the EU:

          “However, we were not satisfied with [lord Hall’s] responses as to the balance to be struck in delivering that impartiality in respect of different views on the EU issue, and we challenged him that few voices were heard from those with strong views criticising the EU among backbenchers, including from the Labour Party.

          What you and the BBC fail to appreciate is that the issue of the EU is not only a party-political, but a cross-party issue for backbenchers, as the report makes clear. Thus there are eurosceptic Labour MPs and europhile Conservative MPs.

          The BBC fails to present EU issues with impartiality. Not (just) my opinion; the opinion of the European Scrutiny Commission.

            Er cherry picking again. the report makes a couple of interesting points firstly the delay in Eu business on the floor of the house and the general failure on the part of the bbc in highlighting the purpose and function of the EU,it’s coverage of Europe being limited to the activities of the member states. That’s the thrust! In downplaying the role of the institution of the EU ,I would suggest it reinforces the rhetoric of its unimportance to European and British life. In doing so it supports the notion of it being expensive ,valueless and an encumbrance that would be usefully discarded. This is precisely the UKIP position. QED the BBC Supports UKIP!

    If ever one were looking for an example of empty emotive official rhetoric in the face of fact defying doublethink from a journalist, then there was a prime example this morning.

    A female BBC reporter at Barcelona airport earnestly intones : “three days of National Mourning have been declared – and behind me, business goes on as normal”

    To maintain my grip on sanity I have to imagine that when she tapped those lines into her I-pad, she didn’t bother to read it back.

    Unless…. the BBC force is strong with this one.

      Too many journalists with too much space to fill, and such tragedies (for they are) are news, but also horrible opportunity to pack airwaves with people stating the obvious or engaging in morbid grief-mongering.

      As it stands, a cause is unknown, and recovery ongoing. This is relevant.

      However Classic FM just went off as Global News figured the best thing to do to help a small German community coping with loss was to subject them to freshly airflown English journalists crawling around asking what dead friends were like.

      Desperate stuff.

          Unlikely. If you want to infer something then its best to use impartial sources . If you dont you end up with the kind of site here which is akin to a medieval closed order monastery. Big walls and no windows and unseen evil outside, the nature of which can only be left to the imagination. Confirmation bias is the god being worshipped in this monastic order! Nigel is his son and UKIP is the holy ghost.

    Not all, true. Just the greatest media monopoly in the land.
