THE FROG AND THE SCORPION.

The delight with which the BBC have been trailing the acquired scalp of Boris Johnsons’ Deputy Mayor, Ray Lewis, following his resignation last night has been a wonder to behold. There has been a positive glee in the tone and depth of the coverage adopted which should make Cameron recall the fable of the frog and the scorpion. Destroying anything and anyone right of liberal is what the BBC does. Cameron can expect much more of this from the State Broadcaster and I do not envy Boris Johnson his time ahead. There is no way the BBC can be reformed because it is institutionally politicised and corrupted by left-wing values which is why it will continually provide a free pass to the likes of Peter Hain, Mick Martin, Yvette Cooper et al whilst excoriating the likes of Lewis. We often talk about the degree of BBC bias here but I would suggest that the BBC is not just biased – it has become a threat.
