FAT CAT CREAM - Biased BBC

FAT CAT CREAM: "The big oil companies, once the greenies' villains of the peace, are now in bed with them. They are the cats that truly have the cream, because on top of their massive oil and gas reserves - which of course the world still needs - they are now also benefiting massively from the lunatic government subsidies for building wind farms and other so-called renewables. Their grasping greed is part of the sinister conspiracy that, as Ofgem pointed out yesterday, will lead to energy bills soaring to £5,000 a year by 2020 and regular power cuts well before then. So when Dr Anthony Hayward, the BP boss, comes down from his subsidy-fuelled castle to give - as fawning Evan Davis put it this morning on Today 'a rare interview' - how is he treated? With sickening deference. Our chain-wearing Evan's first question was, he obviously thought, quite a toughie (and designed to be a sop to all those anti-warming 'deniers' he clearly sneers at); whether the great doctor actually believed in 'climate change', despite all the recent controversy. The answer was 'yes', so naturally, this was treated as the gospel truth, and the rest of the exchange followed entirely predictable lines. It revealed nothing other than that BP is fat, complacent, and chillingly opportunistic.

What Davis should have asked the good doctor is how much he and his company stands to make from government subsidies in the massive 'renewables' scam. That is precisely the qestion that the BBC will never ask.
