THAT LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE BBC UPDATE

By | |
48 Comments

Have you been following BBC coverage of Labour’s farewell conference today? If I understand what they are saying correctly the fact that The Sun has come out unambiguously in favour of Cameron is a matter of little import. I recall when the same newspaper came out in favour of Blair from 1997 to 2005 this was trailed by the BBC as having significant impact, but no longer, for some reason.

What IS important, as a representative of the NASUWT put it on the..ahem… delightful PM programme, is that the evil BNP must not under any circumstances be allowed to have members employed in the Teaching profession. Naturally the BNP were not permitted to respond to the Nulabour position espoused at conference by Mr Balls today. The BBC could have enquired of the NASUWT spokesperson why some legal political parties are more equal than others and on what legal basis was it right to discriminate against the BNP but of course that is never going to happen. To be clear; I have no time for the BNP but I do believe that it should be treated the same as every other legally constituted political party in the UK and the fact that the radical Socialists in power and the courtiers in the teaching unions think otherwise should not be adopted as the BBC default position.
The ideology of the likes of RESPECT and the SWP are just as repulsive as the BNP but they get a free pass from the BBC and are never brought into these discussions. Indeed the entire multiculti welfare loving leftist agenda of Nulabour is considered pretty obscene by many people so maybe individuals holding those political views should also be banned from holding employment in the teaching ranks?

ALL OVER BAR THE SHOUTING…

Comments Off on ALL OVER BAR THE SHOUTING…

I watched the interview on BBC1 breakfast this morning with McDoom and it really is all over for him. His staggering lack of charisma, his odd joker-like smile, his bumbling grasp of the economic realities, all too much for even the BBC to sanitise. Or so I thought. But up pops Nick Robinson to try and rally the troops for McCavity. Did you see it?

OBAMAWORSHIP

I know I go on about Thought for the Day but it really is like the five minute hate. Take this morning. Rev Joel Edwards popped up to tell us all about the wonders of Obama ( “400% increase in death threats than George W Bush”, he repeated) and suggested that perhaps Jimmy Carter was right that those who opposed The One are indeed racists. Edwards is entitled to his opinions, of course, but isn’t it surprising how frequently the content of TFTD dovetails into the broader BBC narrative?

100 NOT OUT!

Yeah – I’ve been waiting on this! Ever since this site was redesigned thanks to the All Seeing Eye and G.O.T. I noticed more and more people have become followers of B-BBC. In the space of the past few months this number has almost trebled and is now sitting at 100, not out by a long count! Whatever we do, we must be doing something right – and here’s to the next hundred.

OH MANDY!

Anyone else catch the BBC’s slobbering coverage of Mandy’s speech at the Labour Party wake, sorry, I mean conference in Brighton? Also, I understand 5Live was bigging up McDoom’s chances allowing a Trade Union barons the chance to make de facto political broadcasts on behalf of the Dear Leader. They SO want their political soul-mates to rise from the dead and have convinced themselves that Mandelson is leading the way. I agree, he IS leading the way but into political oblivion. Just wait for the start of the Conservative Party conference next week. By that time, the Irish will have rolled over and said Yes to the Eurocrats and then, and then, the BBC will do their best to expose tensions amongst Cameron’s ranks.

GORDON BROWN IS UNWELL..

I did not see Andrew Marr ask McDoom if he was one of those people who took prescription drugs to “help get them through.” Did you? Is this, as some dear souls allege, evidence that the BBC is now anti-Labour? I see NO reason why Marr should not have and asked Brown whatever he wanted, is PM Brown some sort of special case? More of a basket-case if you ask me. I have no idea if Brown is on some sort of pillfest, but if he is, the drugs aren’t working…

CHICAGO POLITICS

Comments Off on CHICAGO POLITICS

I see that the BBC is reporting that The Lightworker will travel to Copenhagen to support the bid by the city of Chicago to host the 2016 Olympic Games. (All those carbon emissions…still, in a good cause.) It then goes on to reveal that “A local Chicago TV that reported on Chicagoans NOT wanting the Olympics has been told NOT to run the report again.” More bully tactics from the Obama administration? Oh, and I got it wrong. It was Fox that broke the story about the strong arm tactics in the Windy City not the slobbering house-trained Obamaphiliacs at the BBC!

A LITTLE IRANIAN DIFFICULTY..

Comments Off on A LITTLE IRANIAN DIFFICULTY..

Anyone catch this item on the Iranian situation? Martin Indyk from the Brookings Institute gets short shrift as he exposes Iranian duplicity meanwhile the Iranian ambassador to the IAEA gets to waffle for four minutes even getting stuck into Trident. A very weak interview indeed with the Mullah’s apologist getting away with all kinds of lies. More like a monologue really….
