NEVER AGAIN?

>> WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2009

I see the BBC is piling the pressure on David Cameron's new (supine) stance on the EU - using the ramblings of a French politician who suggests Cameron has "castrated" future UK influence in the post Lisbon world. (As if it would have any influence one way or another!) This is a moment of unrestrained joy for the ruthlessly pro-EU BBC - with the Czechs sadly caving in on Lisbon and poor little Cameron with nothing left to do but abandon any pretence of asserting British sovereignty in the guise of a "Never Again" claim that doesn't matter since Lisbon ensures there will be no need for anything again.

YOU CAN CALL ME, AL!

Anyone listen to Al Gore interviewed - if that is the right word for it - on "Today" this morning? I was hoping that Naughtie might have found the time to ask Gore how it feels to be the first Green Billionaire, or perhaps why he has not given up eating meat yet, given the perils of meat eatinghighlighted by the IPCC no less! But alas, his fawning left no time for such questioning!

ALL ABOUT PRIORITIES

It's so sweet to be back and enduring BBC coverage of world affairs. Take the news that Obama just suffered humiliating defeats in the US. Headline stuff, you might think. Nope. On the BBC US portal the big news is that an Italian judge convicts 23 Americans and two Italian secret agents over the CIA kidnap of an Egyptian cleric in 2003.


I heard Mark Mardell drooling about Obama and how "cool" he still is even after this bit of a a setback on the PM programme. Utterly pathetic. Did you hear him - he spoke as a fan, not a journalist.

The radical leftist agenda pursued by Obama the Cool is going to cause huge alienation in the coming year and it will be informative to watch the BBC do all that it can to try and protect the image of their man in the White House.
