Many BBC presenters not only deliver their masters' Pravda-style pronouncements about climate change,the EU, the middle-east and immigration, they are also - it seems - corporate whores, available to hire from anyone who will stump up the fees of £5,000+ that are the going rate for their services. The Mail on Sunday reveals today that not only that - and despite their right-on trendy liberalism - they will work even for arms dealers if the cash is right, as well as for their favourite peddlers of climate lies such as KPMG. Prominent among these fee-guzzlers is, of course, the BBC's environment "analyst", Roger Harrabin. whose credentials are oleagenously paradedhere. The Steve Jones's report has no doubt given him the licence to push his services even harder, but I note that he's already as busy as ever. In June, for example, he chaired the "UK energy summit", at which a key question was: 
CORPORATE WHORES
It is not easy to persuade consumers to do things that are inconvenient or selfless. How can energy companies get their customers to use less energy and accept rising energy costs? The panel will reveal how it is possible to persuade people to want to do things that are not easy or convenient.
Our Roger was also recently at the guest speaker at the green Bromley awards (no task too small?)and in February, he was at Jesus College Cambridge as a guest speaker at a climate change history group. I have nothing against people making money for their skills. But in Mr Harrabin's case, his BBC platform is used to spread climate change propaganda. In turn, this is the bait that will lead climate change fanatics who want to hear such messages to hire him.
