He got stuck in but was always going to be on the BBC Choker lead.

Say as you see, Say as you think people are becoming rare.

I lost total respect for him when he showed typical journalists hypocrisy by getting a super injunction so other journalists couldnt revel his shagging on the side .

Tories got to him. BBC now a puppet of Tory Party. Frit to attack the Tories as the Tories will threaten to cut the funding to BBC.

Oh well thank you very much. I’ve heard on here that the BBC are biased, but now I’m not sure which way.

They tow the Conservative party line. Right behind them throughout covid. Same with their anti farming pro green rhetoric just doing as commanded.

I reckon they must know peoples views and then beam different output to them. I assume you watch world news on the beeb which yo be fair seems better, if you watch the biased crap they show here you would be horrified.

No I used to listen to radio 4 all the time but throughout Covid i got so depressed with what was basically propaganda I stopped now I just listen to RadioX. The last couple of weeks i've been in UK and for once haven't followed the news programmes. I reckon if you believe the BBC is anti government then the plan is working they really are just an organ of the state.

They certainly are towing a line but it certainly is not Conservative.

If anything it's Rich Liberals, values and morals of the likes of Nick $5,000,000 Clegg (I won't raise student fees)

I gave up on the Beeb decades ago. My parents now don't even put the TV on during meal times - there literally is no reason to do so.

I think we’ve had discussion before but I don’t believe that the Party in power represents Conservative values it’s basically doing whatever it can to be popular without any real policies or beliefs.

HMG does have policies - otherwise immigrants wouldn't get free housing, healthcare, food, clothes etc.

"Populist" is used as a derogatory argument for ignoring voters wishes - which is exactly what the Conservatives have been doing for a decade.

In fact I would say that Labour voters are getting what they want via the Conservatives but don't want to admit it. Liberals got what they wanted out of Teresa May & David Cameron.

Absolutely nothing if he/she is the best candidate but in these PC days talent isnt needed.
