Humphrys, Today on Radio Four & BBC Treachery

Discussing President Putin's re-election prospects, John Humphrys asked at 0721 GMT this morning "Are the Russian people aware that they don not have a proper democracy?"

If only the same question could be put to him about Britain, with the follow-up as to "whether he was aware of the role played in its destruction by his own broadcasting, the flagship programme he serves as figurehead and the licence paying corporation which grows fat from the disenfranchised voters they were supposed to serve!"

Britain's The Independent newspaper - Corrupt or just plain sloppy?

An article in The Independent this morning, linked here, quotes the English Democrats' candidate in Oldham, Steve Morris, as follows:

Stephen Morris, who was out yesterday doing his best to interest people in voting for the fringe right-wing party the English Democrats, has also noticed Liberal Democrat activity, but claimed to have seen no Conservative canvassers, nor even a Tory leaflet. "We can see it on the ground here that the Conservatives are just making a token effort. They are not taking it seriously," he claimed.

{Note in Independent newspaperspeak "fringe" means anything not on a Progressive agenda (ie 'No Can Do' and 'Not our fault') while "right wing" is the opposite of reality, (where it stands for 'Common Sense' which incorporates 'individual responsibility' such as 'can do' and 'you may rely on us'}

The newspaper, to me quite incredibly but in truly typical anti-democratic fashion, then goes on to list the candidates excluding Mr Morris and any mention of the English Democrats!

Other media in England are guilty of the same tactics, the BBC casually referring viewers and listeners to its website where I was unable to find such a complete list last evening when wishing to post the same on this blog, when I had to rely on The Guardian, as may be seen from the posting beneath this.

BBC propaganda temporarily silenced - Broaden your mind

A report on the much to be welcomed short break from the poisoned output of the BBC's leading pro-EU, group-think clones is linked here. Those with Sky Television receivers may wish to try the english language output of France 24 on Channel 513, we have already had one interesting item on the reverse brain drain from the US back to India this morning ahead of President Obama's three day visit to that country. The State visit of China's leader to France is another item on which BBC listeners would normally have remained ignorant. Elsewhere on the internet there is a mass of varied and conflicting news sources. The now rather dated Australian morning newspapers are always worth a read as are those from Canada which normally appear around lunchtime. The leading lights of the BBC deserve no pensions following their contribution to the destruction of our democracy, they should spend the next two days researching the reality of their EU enslaved employer's past activities and make a vow that in future they will first free their own minds to subsequently stick to only broadcasting facts while hosting others to pursue proper debates as may be found here or for those with Facebook here.

Hysterical Humphrys Over-yells Osborne

Yesterday's confirmation of this blog's assessment of the continuing horrible state of the British economy came when figures proved the recession continued through the third quarter. Discussing this on the BBC flagship Radio 4 political programme "Today" the smug, sarcastic and economics ignorant presenter John Humphrys repeatedly shouted down the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. Readers may possibly hear this repeated on the web if they choose, the interview occurred at from eight-thirty to about a quarter to nine, it is not yet on the Listen Again facility. Earlier this week we called for the immediate resignation of George Osborne for his lack of sensible alternative economic policies for the opposition during the past four years. We now have added reason to call for this immature young man's departure. Any Shadow Chancellor of substance would have sternly reprimanded and thoroughly dressed down the hysterical BBC interviewer and demanded an apolgy on the spot. It is clear that the BBC is intent upon the destruction of the wealth and morals of the nation so they can hardly be expected to remove the slimy John Humphrys from their bloated payroll, who with countless others spread their daily poison across the airwaves. The opposition must find figures who command such respect and grasp of their subjects that these awful interview techniques can be squashed at the moment they begin - that calls for hard men (or women selected on merit) not wimps.

England's revolting establishment appears to panic

The Radio Four, Today programme, used its brief minutes for spiritual reflection 'Thought for the Day' this morning for a five minute propaganda statement requiring the citizen's allegiance to the EU and Lisbon Treaty, in spite of it requiring foreign rule. One of the few establishment figures previously prepared to openly criticize the handing of our nation to foreigners, together with the destruction of democracy thus entailed, Daniel Hannan, MEP (to his eternal shame) now writes that having the Lisbon Treaty and no referendum is henceforth OK. He further claims that all leading euro-sceptics accept this view. (To my knowledge, two such, Anne Palmer and Anthony Coughlan are in fact vigourously trying to drum up a legal challenge to the whole clearly illegal process). Read Hannan's shameful career-saving but spirit-destroying outburst from here. I quote just one of many outraged comments from the thread that follows:

In recent days Peer Steinbrück and Thilo Sarrazin have featured in Ambrose Evans-Prichard’s articles on this website: the first [the German Finance Minister] made a violent verbal attack on Britain and the second, [an official of the Bundesbank], an even more violent attack on Turkish immigrants in Berlin. One that made Enoch Powell look like a pussycat, although Sarrazin was gracious enough to say that he preferred Jews to the Turks.

I didn’t notice the Labour Party or the BBC responding to them because, after all, Europe and Europeans are perfect aren’t they? In fact, Germans foaming at the mouth are nothing to worry about. It’s inconceivable that just because they have a tradition of exploding every fifty years, or so, they will do it again because we’re all in the European Union now, aren’t we? And, heaven knows, it’s inconceivable that the Euro is turning out to be an instrument of German hegemony of which Hitler would have been proud. Perish the thought.

I live a lot of my time in the heart of Europe and people are somewhat similar everywhere, of course. Where they differ is in what one might call ’shared atavism’. It is obviously easy for people in the BBC and the Labour Party to pretend that this doesn’t exist. Maybe that is because our ‘ancestral pattern’ is to keep the hell away from Europe. About once per century, we ourselves go mad and get involved. The last person to make a reasonable fist of that was The Duke of Wellington [sorry, but I think WWI and WWII were a disaster for Britain]. He, however, is not a figure in European history books whereas Napoleon is still universally a hero.

When Europeans think of ‘the English’ they often have only a narrow economic view of what Britain stands for. Democracy, so hard-won and so longstanding in Britain, has astonishingly shallow roots in swathes of Europe. Authoritarian elites using vicious Kafkaesque bureaucracies to control the serfs are absolutely run-of-the-mill, however. The next time you are staying in Prague and are woken at 6am by someone trundling dustbins around behind your hotel, pop down and ask why they get up so infernally early; you’ll be told with some pride that the Emperor Ferdinand told the Czechs to be early risers [I'm not joking about this, although you'll need to brush up your Czech first].

The BBC and the Labour Party have been allowed to create a caricature of English nationalism. Enoch Powell, who was a professor of Greek at age 25 and rose from private to be the youngest brigadier in the British Army, was pilloried for saying what probably 80% of Englishmen believed, and believe, to be true. G.K. Chesterton said:

“Smile at us, pay us, pass us; but do not quite forget; For we are the people of England, that never have spoken yet.”

Daniel, you are an amiable soul with clever ideas. Your article displays a commendable desire not to ruffle feathers. But I think that the people of England are about to speak. If Cameron will not give them their say about the EU, their voice will be heard as votes for UKIP at the next general election. And as a result of that Cameron & co will likely end up as mere footnotes in that thick volume entitled: ‘Failures of Nerve in British Political Life’

BBC blacks out the English Democrats

Showing a familiar pattern of subverting England' s democracy the English Democrats Party has forwarded a complaint to the BBC which you may choose to join by sending a similar message to the following: http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complaints_stage1.shtml TEMPLATE FOR YOUR COMPLAINT

++++++++++++++++++ Dear BBC Yesterday was the English Democrats Press Launch – we had the agreed amount of 20-30 Seconds coverage to use, secured by our 9 Deposits of £45,000. You FAILED to cover the speech of Robin Tilbrook – National Party Chairman - which lasted for 20-30 Seconds. Instead you did a voice over, telling the viewer that the English Democrats achieved 0.8% of the vote in England in 2004 You Failed to tell the view that actually the English Democrats only stood in 5 EU Regions in 2004 and actually achieve 1.4% where they stood, and achieved 130,000 votes, which given the TOTAL lack of coverage of the English Democrats by the BBC in 2004, was a surprising result (BNP and UKIP got half this the first time they stood) YOU also failed to mention that in 2004 the BBC Failed to give the English Democrats ANY TV or Radio Coverage due to a mistake by the BBC. Additionally, despite the fact that it had been pre-agreed that YOU the BBC only wanted a 20-30 Second Video of Robin Tilbrook, you decided to use Footage to imply that the Hall was poorly attended, when in fact a handful of helpers had attended simply to put up the Exhibition Stand. If you wanted to see a Hall full of English Democrats then you should have responded to your invite to attend the English Democrats Spring Conference in Portsmouth in April 2009. Please explain why the BBC, has deliberately portrayed the English Democrats in such a poor light, and what YOU intend to rectify your mistake (YOU pulled the same stunt in 2005, and in 2008 misinformed the public that the English Democrats Mayoral Candidate had withdrawn when in fact it was not possible for him to withdraw unless he was dead - this was not the case) Please explain why you are deliberately trying to sabotage the English Democrats Campaign, and what you will do to rectify this sabotage. ++++++++++

The BBC - Big Brother's Cohorts

The main headline this morning for a truly independent media, as it was for this blog, would be the UKIP surge announced in a YouGov poll. News that voters have propelled this small party to be level with the Governing Labour Party predicting a real poll due to be held in mere days on 4th June, is surely news indeed, yet so cowed by the lead of the monopolistic BBC are Britain's media that the entire press, except The Spectator, have kept silent on this fact. The media has aided the destruction of democracy in Britain and it has been led by the self-serving, compliant and greedy employees of the BBC, fit for the label Big Brother's Cohorts which I have today given them in this blog's heading. I must remind my readers that it was the BBC chairing a meeting of all Britain's broadcasting media that ensured Veritas (a party formed to make the public aware of the deliberate corruption and destruction of Britain's Parliament and democracy) would never be heard on any airwaves in the last General Election campaign, when they informed me that even were the new party to field a candidate in every single constituency in the land - WE WOULD NOT BE GRANTED ONE SINGLE PARTY POLITICAL BROADCAST! BY what right did they assume such power - used solely it would appear for the self-enrichment of their own self-selected elite! Watch the video I posted earlier in the week with one of so many of their useless and totally mind-controlled talking head non-entities, this time on BBC News 24, admitting to earning ninety-two thousand pounds a year. Consider what amounts the New Labour parasite, James Naughtie and his colleagues must have pocketed down the years from the licence fee payers they have even left cowering in their own homes from their grotesque database threats, while broadcasting garbage such as this from Today programme on Radio 4, this morning. Does not their self-righteousness make you feel a similar stirring of rage to that when reading your morning Daily Telegraph? Read my posts from April 2008 when they deliberately wrecked the point of the second choice vote in the London Mayoral elections. Particularly the lame excuse of Sean Moss, linked here. Steve Richards writing in The Independent, here, is correct that we are now at a turning point, but if we are to restore values to our society, our currency, our Parliament and our democracy we must regain our independence and we must not believe that the rot stops at Westminster, the BBC is as complicit as any senior Government Minister, a start can be made in their cleansing as suggested on this blog posting last month, here.

The Ninety-two thousand BBC non-entity salary broadcast!

BBC World Talking Headdess earns Ninety-two thousand pounds a year!

n an argument on air this morning with an ex-Labour MP and supporter of Master Maggot Speaker Martin, a virtually unknown TV presenter admitted taking home a massive ninety-two thousand pounds a year, entirely funded by the distasteful extortion campaigns of the BBC itself, in the disgraceful tax known as the licence fee. Amazingly she then went on to justify this grotesque qaste of licence-fee payers by stating that she paid for all her own phone calls made from the BBC facilities! I will post the video here when and if I can trace it - it was a good interview so she earned her money for today at least.

McBride's Media Assets must be exposed and removed.

Alice Miles writing in The Times this morning, linked here, takes up this blog's theme of the culpability of the media in the now widely acknowledged fatal poisoning of Britain's political processes, read here and here. I quote from her article in the The Times, but add my own emphasis: The keys to the system are held by journalists. It is only through the collusion of journalists that underhand and anonymous attacks on political colleagues can have any effect.

The media are all chorusing now: we knew, we called him McNasty and McPoison, we had nothing to do with him, he sent us foul messages, we didn’t like him. But the point is, we did know. We may not have known the detail of the nasty smears about senior Conservatives that Mr McBride was dreaming up, but we knew about the smears against his own side. We knew what he was up to, and we knew that he was being paid more than £100,000 a year of public money to do it – and we did nothing to stop it.

Many are guilty but the main culprits are undoubtedly at the heart of the organisation that is now the State Controlled Broadcaster, still calling itself the BBC but bearing no resemlance to that once august institution, which has led the way and set the tone.

I repeat the four that should, in my view, be the first to go (also without severance pay and only the basic state pension for the years served) as appearing with the title from my earlier posting:

The BBC must now sack the Purveyors of the Poison

BBC Bias in Guido Fawkes Downing Street E-Mail Affair

On the BBC Today programme this morning at about 0841 Political Correspondent Ross Hawkins made the following comments regarding a smear campaign run from Downing Street by a close associate of the Prime Minister Gordon Brown. "... but absolutely it is the detail of these e-mails that will matter and because they will come out in drips and drips the story has the potential to carry on going over a number of days and it is simply by that longevity if nothing else to be damaging" Link to the broadcast is here. Link to Guido Fawkes Blog for background and developments here. Background gossip from here. How can a BBC Political Correspondent, with the slightest concern for the good of his country, believe that bringing to the light of day the disgraceful activities of a man so close to the Prime Minister be anything other than for the good of the nation and the benefit of all its people who stand to be better informed of the nature of the people who run this government and therefore be rid of it all the sooner and thereby possibly save many more billions of debt!

Looking Back - Number Two

On 22nd June 2004 I blogged this post on Ironies on the EU corruption of Britain's state broadcaster, a fitting day to remember as the foul-mouthed and bullying Jonathan Ross returns to BBC TV screens tomorrow evening: EU Subversion of Britain's State Broadcaster I am grateful to the anonymous correspondent who sent the information for this report. A question people must ask themselves; 'Am I susceptible to propaganda?' The only way you can honestly answer this question is to study both sides of the argument with an open and informed mind. The EU's de Clercq Report 1993 devised initiatives to ensure that: "...European identity must be 'ingrained in people's minds' as a 'good product' using marketing techniques and that certain social categories, particularly 'women and youth', should become 'priority target groups'. More controversially, it suggested that newscasters and reporters must themselves be targeted, they must themselves be persuaded about European Union...so that they subsequently become enthusiastic supporters of the cause." A comment on this report and its implications is available from this link to the Bruges Group from here. The above ties in with a parallel report by the Commission's Media and Culture Directorate, which showed that money has been made available for the media to promote "a more positive line towards Europe". According to the BBC Annual Report and Accounts 2002/2003 which may be read from this link to a pdf file, there are two outstanding loans from the European Investment Bank to the BBC totalling £91 million. ====================== Page 117. The European Investment Bank has made two loan facilities available to BBC Commercial Holdings. The first, for an amount of £66million, is available for drawing until March 2005 and must either be repaid in full as a single repayment by March 2013 or on an amortising basis by March 2015.The second, for £25million, is available for drawing until November 2003 and is repayable in one single instalment by November 2007.The interest rate applicable on both facilities is determined with reference to the European Investment Bank's own funding cost and carries no margin above this funding rate. At 31 March 2003 nothing was drawn down under either of these facilities. ====================== Watch this space, and in the meantime cast your mind back to the totally pro-EU bias of nearly every BBC anchor and correspondent over recent years - not noticed by yourself perhaps, well maybe now you have read this it will become more noticeable. Still not convinced then ask yourself why any organisation would make funds available at their own cost of borrowing, it is an impossible feat that defies all known laws of economics - were it truly achievable. But it is not, rather this is a blatant propaganda subsidy and YOU are the target - more EU anybody? (Open Europe on present day EU communication facts, linked here)

BBC starts the New Year with massive lie.

As was only to be expected the Brown Broadcasting Corporation starts the year sliding further down the slippery slope to pure propaganda: The Czech Republic is also one of the few EU countries not to have ratified the Lisbon Treaty on streamlining the EU. (Link here). The Lisbon Treaty can be described as many things, but a trite one word description as streamlining really has to take the biscuit for both spin and sloppy journalism were we not well aware of the Corporation's true and increasingly obvious motives.

BBC's biased propaganda machine fully displayed.

The BBC report on the latest retail sales figures in Britain's High Streets may be viewed here. On the Radio Four Today programme there was an interview exploring the worrying nature of the decline in volume of sales and the implications of consecutive months of falls. That transcript is unavailable through the edited 'Listen Again' facility. The written report reflects these concerns as follows: On a like-for-like basis - which pulls out the impact of new store openings and closures - the survey found that sales in November were down 2.6%. Following a 0.1% decline in October, it was the first drop in overall sales for two months in a row since the survey was first released in January 2005. (Actually the broadcast report stated since 1995). The written report describes food sales as being up but in the Today programme interview revenues were indeed up but volume sales were reported as down! A few minutes later the BBC News Department Headline report merely stated that the worry over falling sales was exaggerated and that the November decline was a mere 0.4%. Is this honest impartial reporting or black propaganda? More BBC bias was clear in the later interview with David Cameron on the now terrifying levels pf Labour's borrowings!

BBC thwarted in plan to dig tentacles ever deeper.

The dedicated enemy of decency, democracy and simple common sense - the entirely taxpayer funded BBC has thankfully been thwarted in its attempt to further control broadcasting in the UK by expanding into a local online video propaganda project. The Independent has the report here.

The enemy within!

Have a look at this cosy scene from the BBC's flagship Sunday AM programme hosted by Andrew Marr. These are the eminent?? figures selected to comment (impartially Ha Ha) on the nation's newspapers this Sunday morning (relegated to be the day chosen by the country to honour its national dead so that it will not fall inconveniently on a working day which for this year will be next Tuesday). In the middle Baroness something or other more commonly known as Shirley Williams, the senior surviving main player in the deliberate destruction of the nation's once superb education system. (Zoom in and note she wears two poppies, each with a green leaf, a conscious act which can presumably only have been chosen to shout "MY GRIEF AND STATUS ARE SUPERIOR TO YOURS"). On the right we have senior BBC Foreign Correspondent John Simpson, whose sycophantic, misguided and heavily biased reporting from across the world and down the decades has done so much to foster the nation's inbuilt sense of superiority and disdain that has allowed this country itself to slip so far into decadence and decay. Lastly on the left (suitably) the slimy Scot whose inability (shared with his successor as the BBC senior political commentator Nick Robinson) to ask a pointed question or follow-up an interesting line of inquiry to any office-holding minister has resulted in helping to bring our very system of government into complete contempt. All three hosted by the BBC, which fittingly proved unable to properly organise the apology for the actions of its two most recent lowest common denominator stars whose tasks down the decades has been to trash and destroy all the best elements of our society that once glued the nation as one. On this Remembrance Sunday let us not forget the BBC, these three and their many fellow travelers who have brought the country to its economic knees and who knows what further horrors which are yet to follow.

BBC News distortion

On the Radio 4 08:00 a.m. news bulletin, it was today reported that the Nationwide house price index had suffered a monthly fall of 2.5 per cent "the greatest since 1991". I actually listened to the Today programme interview somewhat earlier and what was said was that it had been the largest fall ever recorded since the index had been started, which was in 1991. The two items can be heard again on the BBC's Today Programme 'Listen Again' facility if you do not believe me. Either way if you find such reporting as unacceptable as I do then I would suggest a complaint be made to the BBC even though that always proves to be entirely less than worthwhile.

Did BBC attempt to subvert Democracy?

On May Day 2008, last Thursday morning, local election polling day in wide parts of England and Wales, the giant and deeply biased British Broadcasting Corporation, once renowned for its independence, impartiality and the quality of its broadcasting, activated its huge network of national and local TV stations, radio stations and vast internet resources to publicise a section of the normally unremarked six monthly financial review by The Bank of England. The portion chosen for such huge publicity was a passage implying the worst of the credit crunch was past. Bank of England activities already undertaken since Thursday clearly show such is not the case, read here, here and here. New Labour has been clearly damaged by last Thursday's polling. If two formerly great national institutions the BBC and the Bank of England are now to be spared from a similar fate, parliamentarians must taken urgent steps to ensure nothing similar can ever happen again!

Wales leads way for Independents

The Times has a report headlined Independents charge through the Valleys and seize the reins linked here, the following is a quote: Before the vote, Labour held eight of the twenty-two unitary authorities in Wales. Yesterday it was left with just two, Neath Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taf, as the party lost 122 Welsh councillors, according to the BBC, and collapsed to a disastrous third place in Cardiff. Newport, the last Welsh city in the party’s hands after 2004, fell to no overall control, and Flintshire, the only authority it had held in the North, went the same way. But it was in the valleys that Labour’s bedrock of support most dramatically collapsed. Independents delivered the knockout blows as former Labour supporters in the region gave their backing to local groups and individual candidates. Labour councils in Merthyr Tydfil, Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen and Caerphilly were all toppled. In the first two of these, independents and local parties had the numbers to take overall control, while in Torfaen independents became the second largest group, just two behind Labour’s eighteen seats. The lesson must be now taken on board across England, where the disastrous broadcasting of the BBC and its influence on the British political process is an ever more disgraceful fact of life.

My response to the BBC

The reply I received from the BBC is posted below. My reply has been sent as follows: Dear Mr Moss, Thanks for your reply which fails to address the issues raised. I know how the BBC justifies its allocation of PPBs. The effect is to place a gearing on democracy. A State funded broadcaster which sees fit to to devote part of its output to threaten its paying public hardly seems fit to be given such powers. There can be only one basis for allocation of public broadcast time in an election in a properly functioning democracy and that would be on the basis of the total number of candidates running. Equal candidate numbers should provide equal air time. Perhaps you will answer these specific questions: The Tuesday night programme was billed as a public debate, how could the public attend? Did any of the Mayoral candidates request to at least be part of the audience? Was consideration given to inviting such other candidates by the Corporation which presumably employs you? As my complaint was received well before the programme complained of was either prepared or aired - was any meeting or discussion held to consider inviting other Mayoral candidates either to the panel or to the audience? Do you not feel your present employment somewhat demeaning? Martin Cole Later update; Predictably enough, I suppose, I received the following - Can I be bothered to continue? No, I cannot!
