THE WORKERS UNITED WILL NEVER BE..EMPLOYED

>> SATURDAY, OCTOBER 01, 2011

Meant to cover this yesterday, I refer to BBC coverage of the latest European diktat bestowing additional rights and benefits on Agency workers. This has been presented by the BBC as a further instance of Euro benevolence and anyone arguing against it is treated as if they are the enemies if the enlightenment. It seems to have escaped the attention of BBC editors that legislation which puts extra pressure and cost on business in a recession will only lead to jobs being lost. On Today the other morning there was a harpy from the Trade Unions on bleating that this did not really go far enough but at least it was a step in the right direction. When the market adjusts for this imposition, and fewer agency workers are employed, the BBC will then bleat about the awful unemployment. This is how the BBC operates its pro-EU policy; it cheer-leads for the legislation from Brussels and then attacks the Government when the inevitable chaos ensues.

ATTACK!

Wearying but predictable to see that the lead story on the BBC NEWS Portal this morning is one undermining the Conservatives. "Conservative Andrew Tyrie questions economic strategy". That's the single most important story in the world this morning. I am sure we can look forward to the BBC bringing more stories of division and conflict during the Conservative Party conference and the only guy that can expect favourable BBC coverage isNick Boles. I am sure you can work out why.
