I wondered if it was that Seumas I keep hearing about as the evil right-hand man of Corbyn.

There is already a...I think you're right Terry. There is already a hard left element at work within the BBC...there always have been Communists of course. But now in Corbyn there is a political focus for them and if they couch their demands in the language of PC, pro-diversity policies they are pretty much untouchable. <br /><br />As we know, the hard left like to make alliance with followers of Islam as well. We have the rather bizarre example of Mishal Husain aggressively questioning people about burka tolerance and Islamophobia - she was brought up in Saudi Arabia and knows full well it is not a free choice of women, but I have never heard her utter one word of complain about the Saudi regime or even admit she has some personal knowledge in that respect. The Corbynistas will seek to promote Islam as part of a "diversity" agenda. You might think it was impossible for the BBC to promote Islam any more than it is already...well prepare to be surprised. <br /><br />A Corbyn government would probably begin by working through Ofcom - weeding out the soggy leftists and putting their candidates into such positions of power. They might well use intelligence on individuals within the BBC they perceive as enemies to engineer their removal. The NUJ would be able to exert more pressure as well under a Corbyn government. <br /><br />There will be other inducements and threats - inducements could include a legal framework to ensure the BBC gets a bigger share of sports coverage and threats could include threats to revoke the charter. <br /><br />We all know the BBC is staffed largely by sheep...as soon as they see how the wind is changing, they'll be signing the Corbyn pledge.<br /><br />A Corbyn government would be a political disaster...but you wouldn't think it from the weak approach of May, and her fellow Conservatives. <br /><br />Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-73346500783815413752018-08-15T19:04:42.551+01:002018-08-15T19:04:42.551+01:00Great post TerryGreat post TerryCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341313534441507081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-77937896636026611992018-08-15T18:57:44.000+01:002018-08-15T18:57:44.000+01:00That scenario is not in the least far fetched. Amo...That scenario is not in the least far fetched. Among the soggy left there is certainly a fifth column of Corbynistas in the BBC who would welcome such a move. They wouldn’t even see it as state control.<br /><br />There is also the drift of the soggy left, in particular with regard to free speech. I can remember a particular occasion, perhaps a couple of decades ago, when Humphrys quite robustly asked an advocate of Sharia why he was in this country if he didn’t like our values. Can you imagine that happening now? No doubt the BBC would respond ruefully, “We were so racist back then”. I am yet to hear a single BBC voice, hard or soggy left even acknowledge the erosion of free speech in this country. <br /><br />The BBC’s once wholly admirable ambition to inform has descended into a patronising contempt for both the public and the truth. The framework is already there for a Communist style state controlled broadcaster.

It was more as if he was trying to help him. <br /><br />He did ask him whether he would have laid a wreath at the graves of Black September leaders. <br /><br />He didn't mention that one of the victims of the Munich massacre had been castrated...though he did call the whole thing an atrocity. <br /><br />He didn't employ his trick of summarising what the interviewee had said, even though he hadn't said it...He could have said "Well Mr Williamson, it's clear you would not criticise Mr Corbyn if it was found he had laid a wreath at the graves of Black September leaders..."<br /><br />Davis didn't ask why, if Corbyn is so interested in even-handed "peace" he doesn't lay wreaths at the graves of, say, infant victims of Palestinian terrorism. <br /><br />He didn't pick up on Mr Williamson's earlier interview on the BBC (useless Mardell in the chair) and ask him if he was comparing the PLO to Nelson Mandela, even though Williamson smuggled in the apartheid libel into his answers. <br /><br />I noticed that the sinister looking Dr. Evil-type Williamson managed to issue a veiled threat to the BBC and all who sail in her...indicating his "disappointment" etc...<br /><br />I have been predicting for some time now that if Corbyn and co - God forbid (but it could happen if we let May captain us on to the rocks) - should get their clenched fists on power, then they won't hang around in taking charge of what is the state's media arm. They'll do it by hook or by crook, by the book or not by the book...they'll use every trick in the book to gain full control for the hard left over the BBC. If all else fails, they'll simply use legislation to cancel the charter. <br /><br />Some of the more intelligent soggy-leftists may have picked up the message being sent. <br /><br /><br /><br />Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-47638826261526461922018-08-14T21:23:02.905+01:002018-08-14T21:23:02.905+01:00Meanwhile we now discover Lord Dodgy, sorry Lord S...Meanwhile we now discover Lord Dodgy, sorry Lord Sheikh, much beloved at the BBC was also in attendance at the anti-semitic tinged Tunis conference:<br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6059423/Robert-Halfon-Lord-Sheikh-investigated-attending-Tunis-conference.html#comments<br /><br />An MP is calling for his behaviour to be investigated by the Conservative Party. <br /><br />Of course the BBC has nothing about this on their wipesite (better term for it than "website").
