>> WEDNESDAY, JUNE 09, 2010

Has anyone being following the terrifying messages being delivered with chilling fanaticism in this year's annual BBC propaganda-fest, the Reith lectures? Lord Rees of Ludlow regards humankind as a disease or a "fever". Man-made global warming is an indisputable fact that must be tackled before and above everything else. He talks menacingly about over-population and unsustainability (so did Hitler). He postulates a new cadre of scientists (who think similarly to himself, of course) to control political decisions. He demands that CO2 consumption be rationed throughout the world at much lower levels than that in the west (thereby condemning millions to fuel poverty). He wants Britain to focus away from traditional manufacturing (i.e. that which provides what people actually want) towards green energy (ie on what they don't want, that doesn't work, isn't necessary, and is viable only with massive subsidy).

In short, this is the groupthink and the creed of the BBC; it's through these talks you can see the true mindset and agenda.

UNITED WE STAND...

Did you listen to this interview with Comrade Derek Simpson? I felt that Justin Webb was nipping at his ankles but holding off from taking a bite out of him. Why was no-one from BA interviewed? It seems obvious that Unite are losing this one but Comrade Simpson was dodging any responsibility for this and Webb let him.

THAT DUTCH ELECTION....

The BBC has been curiously silent about the Dutch election, up until today. I think the Wilders factor perturbs them so they have to be careful how they cover this story. Earlier this morning, before 7am, I listened to the BBC state that because of the economic situation, immigration was less of an issue and therefore Wilders Party would not do as well as it was hoping though "it may double its vote"! Jonny Dymond produced a slightly more comprehensive coverage here - I bet he enjoys the relaxed lifestyle of the Dutch. His report is better balanced but there is the same line being sold that the Dutch will vote on the economy, and that Immigration is less of an issue than it was. The implication is that there is no connection between immigration and a country having to deal with severe recession! We shall see.

DON'T BE BEASTLY TO DARLING...

Some mornings, the BBC can't wait to get stuck in to their important business of attacking the Government now that it is no longer a Labour Government. Take this at 7.09am. Evidently irritated by David Cameron unveiling the sheer scale of Labour's profligacy, the BBC hits back by having Tim Harford (Who presents a BBC programme) declare that all the figures now being quoted were public knowledge. Note Harford's final sneering comments. The idea being sold here is that the Coalition can't be trusted when it comes to quoting financial figures so don't be beastly to Darling.

IN PRAISE OF PREZZA?

Did you catch this "interview" on Today between Zac Goldsmith and John Prescott? I feel that James Naughtie allowed Prescott to interrupt, make childish class-baiting allegations and then dared to suggest they were both "going at it". This is not what I heard. I carry no candle for Goldsmith but he was courteous whilst Prescott was rude and arrogant and got much more time to defend his own stupid housing schemes. This is a favoured BBC tactic - invite on two people, allow one of them (usually from the left) to rant and rave uninterrupted and then when the other interviewee dares to respond they are both labelled the same. Prescott hectored and blustered and Naughtie made no attempt to ensure any fairness. More pathetic bias.
