I am reminded of Lewis Caroll's Lobster Quadrille...a slow, stately, incredibly complex dance of uncertain provenance but which seems to give the participants pleasure. <br /><br />This is an old dance...I remember when Harold Wilson used to complain of anti-Labour bias at the BBC, despite the overwhelming backing of BBC satirists, dramatists, arts commentators, documentary makers and current affairs commentators for Labour. What he meant was that he wanted 100% backing for Labour from the BBC with 0% dissent. <br /><br />Wilson failed to understand the BBC's vanity...like a fat woman who regularly goes on a diet, the BBC want to imagine that they are truly trying to be impartial when they look in the mirror and that does necessitate actually starting a diet every now and then (on the analogy, allowing Farage at least a few minutes to get his viewpoint across every now and then). <br /><br />The BBC wants to be virtue signalling but also biased to the Left, while still maintaining (Sopel-style) that they are "impartial"...all the while drawing huge, unjustified salaries. Humans have a talent for ignoring cognitive dissonance. :)Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-50994537770355709252018-02-17T13:58:49.139+00:002018-02-17T13:58:49.139+00:00I have also seen the Good Lord asked another quest...I have also seen the Good Lord asked another question, I think pertinent given the bbc seems to run untrustworthy, not transparent tracks...<br /><br />https://twitter.com/junkkmale/status/964860770449281024Peterhttp://www.firebird.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-53776187965206932018-02-17T13:46:51.311+00:002018-02-17T13:46:51.311+00:00I have a counter to the ‘offending both sides’ cla...I have a counter to the ‘offending both sides’ claim of rectitude I call CSI:W1A. In it a corpse is discovered in a kitchen lying with feet in an oven and head in a freezer. However, despite being clearly rotten, the liver temp suggested it was healthy.<br /><br />As with all other exercised ‘the Bbc is a Tory Brexit front’ types, I suggested to the good Lord as he was not happy and I am not happy, the only sensible option is for it to go subscription. <br /><br />No reply, as usual, though I have had a few suggest the only acceptable solution is the BBC makes Paul Mason and James’Obrien Joint God Emperors and Jasmine Lawerence hive Queen.Peterhttp://www.firebird.comnoreply@blogger.com
