TRICKY VICKY

I try not to listen to BBC Radio 5 as it is usually too awful for words. HOWEVER, I did catch Victoria Derbyshire’s programme earlier and in particular a discussion on progress or otherwise of the Coalition. Anyone else hear it? I wasn’t surprised that the largest number of callers were unhappy with the Coalition – I am sure those manning the switchboard made sure of that – (Plus – some others are actually working!) but it was the tone Derbyshire took with those who dared attack Labour’s record. By any definition she came across as defensive and was plainly uneasy when callers dares to criticise the previous Great Leader. As I say, I try not to listen to this station – and will try even harder going forward!

GAYBRITAIN

BBC delighted to report that anyone who comes to the UK claiming asylum on the grounds that they are gay can stay. No dissent allowed. From Cameroon to the North of England – we’re all gay now. Not the first time Mike Lanchin has shown an interest in this subject… good to see Stonewall getting their say in as well. Nicely unbalanced from start to finish.

THE WORLD LOVES A TYRANT..

You have to hand it to the BBC, they never shirk from expressing their admiration for tyrants and their hanger-ons. Listen to this item, on the mistress of Simon Bolivar. Note how Huge Chavez is given an approving name-check and of course Bolivar himself is presented as a lovable rogue. Two  tyrants in five minutes, stamp-marked with the tacit approval of the State Broadcaster.

RISE OF THE NEO-PURITANS

BBC leading the charge this morning about the evils of drinking. On both Radio and TV, it is running with the idea that up to one in three kids are horrified at the drinking they see going on in the home.The BBC itself has commissioned the study which suggests that a third of children said they feel scared when adults drink, a fifth say they have witnessed angry and aggressive behaviour, and the majority had seen their parents drunk. On TV, David Yelland was on to talk (again) about his recovery from alcoholism. The BBC has embraced the neo-Puritanism of the last Labour administration and lobbies to make us all feel bad about any form of enjoyment.

NO REDUNDANCIES IN THE STATE SECTOR?

Clearly the BBC seeks to engineer a confrontation between the State sector and the Coalition. This morning, it is hyping up the lunatic suggestion by Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union, that cutting jobs now would be “economically illiterate”. (Mark does not do irony, evidently)

He said: “I believe there’s no argument for any cuts in public services at all at the moment, that it would be a massive backward step that would throw up to a million more people on to the dole queue.”

Serwotka also made the not so veiled threat that should the Coalition dare to make the State sector conform to best practise in the Private sector then strikes might happen. This is a re-run of the Thatcher years as the BBC seeks to ferment State sector agitation.

THE BIG QUESTION FINISHES FOR 2010

Hurray! The execrable “Big Question” presented by ..ahem…much loved national treasure Dame Nicky Campbell finished today for 2010. It won’t be back until January 2011 – a small mercy for which we should give thanks. This is an appalling programme so biased leftwards that I am surprised it does not fall over. Of course it follows the usual BBC schtick and puts on a token “right-winger” on the panel but stacks the rest of the studio with foaming at the mouth lefties who then spout inanities to Dame Nicky’s general approval. Not having this on our screens for six months will be a relief.

BBC "GUIDE" TO TERROR WORSHIP…

Have a read of this tribute by the BBC to Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah – a founding figure for the Hezbollah terror group. Note how he is described as being “a moderate” and indeed “a progressive”. OK, he loathed the USA, wanted to see the destruction of Israel BUT, on the other hand, he believed female masturbation was allowable. You can see why the BBC are in mourning.
