RELENTLESS! - Biased BBC

RELENTLESS!: "I had the misfortune to ensure 60 minutes of the BBC 'Today' bias this morning and believe me, it's just not good for your health! Between 7am and 8am, there was a stream of anti-Conservative propaganda spewing from the State Broadcaster and I speak as someone who is not a Cameron Conservative but believes in the need for balance!



The farce started with Stephanie Flanders going over to Dublin. Apparently there has been a recession there (!) and Steph went to have a chat with Brian Lenihan, the Finance Minister. In his first sentence, Lenihan explained he was a Keynsian (BBC tick) but because Ireland had no access to easy funds, tough decisions had to be taken (BBC sad). Stephanie explained that if the scale of these cuts was replicated in the UK, it would mean tens of thousands of job losses in the public sector. Oh no. Stephanie didn't ask if the cuts were working.



This set up the next item which was...cue drum roll ..Tory plans for 'efficiency cuts' in the public sector. BBC produced an academic professor to point out just how dreadful this would be. Plus ca change?



Then, a break from undermining the Conservatives to go to South Africa for the funeral of 'notorious white supremacist' leader Eugene Terreblanche. I found this guy to be a pretty repellent character BUT then again BBC silence on the murder of 3000 white farmers since the notorious ANC came to power in 1994 hardly provides balanced debate, does it?



Anyway, we all know whites are bad so back to some more Conservative bashing concerning their voluntary national citizen service scheme. Sanchia Berg made plenty of mention of 'people with posh accents' telling da yoof what to do. That pesky Etonian Cameron, eh?



Then, across the Irish sea to my part of the woods where Kevin Connolly talked uncommon nonsense for 5 minutes, pretending we now live in a land of milk and honey in which the 'constitutional question' is settled. I am inviting Kevin to come an interview me so an alternative view can be heard, I bet he won't. Will keep you posted.



Moving on this time across the pond, we had a bit of Obama worship and in particular on his cunning plan that "could" lead to tough new sanctions being imposed on Iran, sometime, in the not too distant future. Possibly. Maybe, Bet the Mullahs are panicking about that. Again, no counter voice protesting Obama's total failure to grasp the nettle on this issue! On the other hand, he does bully Israel and that is always worth a BBC bonus.



Finally, and exhausted, I listened to a tribute to Sex Pistol's manager, Malcolm McLaren who has died aged 64, Wish the BBC had played 'Pretty Vacant', it would have summed up the last hour of bias, drivel, propaganda and faux comment. No future for you?
