I suppose it was inevitable that the BBC would use the Labour Party conference to hail the achievements of the Great Leader but even at that I must admit to being surprised at hearing him compared to Winston Churchill! I tuned into Radio 5 live just after 8am this morning and the BBC were running a vox pop at the conference and everyone interviewedpraised Brown, with one lady making the wartime leader comparison. The BBC is running with the narrative that because of the (sic) internationally driven financial crisis, only Brown with his massive economic experience can save the day. And so it is that in the Beeboid mindset, Brown is Churchill. Comments: 6 (unread) - Biased BBC Home Saturday, September 20, 2008 David Vance # THE BROWN RECOVERY STARTS RIGHT HERE! It's remarkable to see the way in which the BBC shills for Mr Broon. I was wading through this grovelling contribution to the Brown recovery strategy by Brown groupie James Landale and was struck by the remarkable claim he makes that The Guardian is now a Conservative supporting newspaper!! Landale is bang on-message with Labour high command, damning Miliband and Johnson whilst praising Brown's economic messianic capabilities. You couldn't make it up.

The BBC went ape crazy about the Large Hadron Collider just over a week ago, with maximum media overkill. Now it transpires that it will be out of action for at least two months. Part of the giant physics experiment was turned off for the weekend while engineers probed a magnet failure. But a Cern spokesman said damage to the £3.6bn ($6.6bn) particle accelerator was worse than anticipated. The curse of the BBC......!

"We've gathered floating voters," he begins. "Left-leaning floating voters". And aren't they. With Channel 4's poll of marginal seats the other day showing the Conservatives heading for a 150 seat majority, and the Lib Dems currently polling at just 12%, Newsnight managed to find a group of floating voters who were going to vote for Clegg practically to a man. "You’re frustrated with your prime minister, but I don’t think you’re running to the Conservatives either," observered Luntz. Perhaps not, but practically everyone else is. "There’s no outcry for him (Gordon) to leave," he observed. Really? But this is Beeb land, so my advice to the Lib Dems? Go back to your constituencies and prepare for Government.
