The BBC “Cuts” Orgasm…

>> MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2010

The BBC is certainly maxing out on the evil coalition “cuts” with reverential softballs being thrown to strutting and strident trade union fatcats (all on £100,000+pa) and gut wrenching tales of woe from “randomly selected” families etc.

The mood music is clear, the narrative set in stone with helpful clues to remind of the last bloodthirsty regime which gleefully crushed the poor and the weak into the dust.....”...deepest cuts since the Thatcher years”

Mark Serwotka, leader of the Civil Service penpushers, poured scorn on the need to cut the deficit on BBC1 “Breakfast” this morning. He demanded an increase in government spending and when Simon Jack wondered where the money would come from Serwotka, economic genius, said we should borrow it. Mr Jack, instead of laughing in his face and giving him a pair of clown’s shoes, feebly accepted this cretinous nonsense.

It might seem odd to the average Martian that the Beeb should be helping to feed the egos of these latter day Savonarolas when it is having to face industrial action from it’s own Luddites over downsizing but remember that the BBC, like the Papacy, is always interested in the long term. So soon, just after the first reports of children and old people starving to death because of Osborne’s cuts, expect a full blown crusade, spearheaded by Stephen Fry and assorted Dimblebys and Attenboroughs, showing how the masses are suffering cultural starvation through the freezing of the BBC Poll Tax.

JUST A COINCIDENCE, HONEST

The BBC reports...

The BBC's main unions have announced strike dates in a dispute over proposed changes to the corporation's pension schemes.

Members will be asked to strike on 5 and 6 October, coinciding with the Conservative Party Conference.

PART OF THE UNION.....

I know you've been talking about the topic over on the Open Thread but I couldn't help but notice a/ Just how EASY a ride comrade Brendan Barber got on Today this morning and b/ how blatantly pro-Trade Union this page is. Just look at the headline email under the main story...

I've never been a member of a union but I will certainly be joining any demonstrations the TUC organises against cuts. Dorothy Stannard

All together now, "You don't get me I'm part of the Union"..

PAPAL INDULGENCES...

Did you see that the BBC will use up to 400 staff to cover the Pope's visit to the UK, more staff than it used to cover the World Cup. Given the loathing of Pope Benedict by the BBC, I'll be surprised if none of the 400 try to make a citizen's arrest! Also, in this age of austerity, good to see the BBC does not hold back on these occasions. Over-funded, over-staffed and out of time. Axe it.
