Hey folks – this is RED ED day on the BBC and anyone who has had the misfortune top listen in to the dreadfully biased Today programme will already know it. All morning we have had breathless commentary from the BBC with each presenter trying to outdo the other on how fawning they can be towards  Ed “I’m my own man” Miliband (sponsored by Derek Simpson). EVEN Thought for the Day suggested a Biblical blessing on the brothers Miliband. I also love the way the BBC seek to sanitise Red Ed’s attitude towards the free market, with all reference to his rabidly marxist father’s influence carefully air-brushed out it. Kim Jung il would be proud of the BBC just as I’m ashamed by it.

Did you catch Red Ed Miliband’s debut on the BBC, his party’s broadcasting arm, this morning? With Dame Polly Toynbee watching on – it was fun to watch the rather geeky Red Ed demonstrate a lamentable grasp of the mood of the British people. However, on topic, I thought that Andrew Marr was very accommodating to Red Ed and he was given an easy ride with the primary focus being about how his brother David felt. Touchy-feely stuff that avoids the big political challenges and conspicuously does not pursue the fact that Red Ed is leader BECAUSE of the Trade Unions. Then again, the BBC are also one of the last bastions of admiration for hard left Unions. We can anticipate Ed Miliband being afforded maximum publicity from the BBC in the time ahead and I am certain he will quickly become the most popular political leader that the BBC has ever known.
