Auntie, Drop The Pretence

Anyone who has listened to the BBC's coverage of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester will have realised (providing they have at least two brain cells) that the nation's principal broadcaster has lost the diaphanous veil of 'impartiality' it claimed to have had. Every effort has thus far been made to portray the Tories in the worst possible light.
Having failed to land a devastating opening blow to expose Conservative divisions over Europe, the BBC focus moved on yesterday on Radio Five Live to talk about other those European parties who belong to the same bloc as the government-in-waiting. The breakfast show on Five Live talked about the 'Nazi sympathising' Latvian party, the LNNK and how, under Cameron, the Conservative had ditched the supposedly moderate EPP grouping in Brussels (ardent federalists to a man) and 'embraced' movements of the 'far Right'.
So far, if it isn't Europe or European links, it is the 'privileged aloofness' of the Conservative leadership and is consequential'inability' to understand the mindset of the average hard working Briton. No effort is spared to discredit HM Opposition. For those who doubt the BBC agenda, I'd like to ask why the focus is on the Etonian background of Cameron et al, when the privileged educational CV of Ed Balls is never given a BBC airing? Why so much is made of the Tory 'links' to a Latvian nationalist party through the European Parliament, when nothing has ever been said about those fellow travellers of the Labour Party in the Group of European Socialists? Parties such as the Polish Self-Defence of the Republic, whose leader received two honorary degrees from the anti-Semitic Interregional Academy of Personnel Management which counts, inter alia, American white supremacist David Duke as an honorary professor, or the Turkish Democratic Society Party (which has associate status) and strong links to the PKK terror faction in that country?? Why the BBC concentrates on the Tory dilemma over Lisbon following Irish acceptance when not once did a BBC commentator ask anyone at Labour's Brighton bash why they lied to the British people when they promised a referendum on the same document prior to the 2005 General Election?
The BBC is not impartial and never has been. It broadcasts news and single issue presentation through a filter of pro-liberal and Left-leaning bias. There are suggestions the Conservatives will clip the wings of this bloated and arrogant behemoth. Let's hope they're true to their word.
