I,ll be 140 quid better off, and these wan..ers at the beeb can try to get a real job...not ponce around with the 10 to 1 ratio of workers on the commercial channels...world cup...Beeb sent around 150 to South Africa...ITV did just as good a job with 27. But that,s nationa;isation for you. Scargill ran the miners better than the Beeb, and look what happened to them...but of course, too many of the old school chums wont let that happen to the luvvies !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-62199461616654396112015-09-09T21:48:08.765+01:002015-09-09T21:48:08.765+01:00Heard the catch up, having been referred to it on ...Heard the catch up, having been referred to it on Biased BBC.<br />Naughties Lefty views are well known, which is why the verbose shortbread poltroon has been able to squat pointlessly over the Toady Show now for so long.<br />Bernard Jenkin has a mind of his own-surprised the BBC still let him on.<br />Guessing the likes of Heseltine, Clarke were not available.<br />Bernard is a different league of savvy politico than his useless dad, Patrick.chrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198777332934873417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-16761827504087811132015-09-09T10:29:32.028+01:002015-09-09T10:29:32.028+01:00The BBC are pulling out all the stops - there was ...The BBC are pulling out all the stops - there was an unscheduled "Migration Special" of From Our Own Correspondent this morning. BBC obviously felt they hadn't been featuring the issue enough in their broadcasting (when are they going to do an Antiques Roadshow special from Duisberg?).<br /><br />So the bias control knob is turned up to 11. Germany's immigration policy is described as "generous". Of course, it could equally be described as "foolhardy", "divisive", "suicidal" - depending on your viewpoint. <br /><br />They then had a report from Diana Darke. I presume it's the person with this twitter account. <br /><br />https://twitter.com/dianadarke?lang=en<br /><br />In line with current BBC policy, Darke abandoned all pretence of objectivity and talked in hushed tones of her weeping silently with Syrian refugees who have made it to Europe. <br /><br />Haven't listened to it all - might do later. But I would be surprised if the whole thing wasn't as lopsided as a dog with only two right legs.

It's not like Naughtie is exactly wrong on how Cameron is pissing off a lot of his own party and base. Pointing out reality is not bias, like it or not. Even if it wasn't an understanding of reality but the BBC's innate anti-Tory bias driving them to this conclusion, Jenkins' retort was dumb.<br /><br />Of course having a fairer referendum is a defeat for Cameron. He wants to stay in the EU as badly as the most insipid Beeboid. It's pretty idiotic to worry that he's about to hold some snap referendum any time soon, of course. Even Isabel Hardman is saying it's a defeat for Cameron, and her editor made her write a post predicting it yesterday.

Mr Puffed-Up said that was fine. He would like to be interviewed. It would make him feel puffed up and important but he made it clear he didn't like to answer other people's questions and so would make up his own questions to answer. <br /><br />So with that agreed, the interview took place...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
