Criticise the BBC all you like Johnno, but they do more to hold the government to account than Corbyn and his team does.
Personally I appreciate the BBC more than ever, in the absence of a leader of the opposition
The entire Establishment ( the organs of the mass media - including the BBC ) are demonstrably (and non too covertly either!) anti-Labour. I set no store by the views and postulations of ANY media organ that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of our nation. The Tories KNOW where their bread is best buttered in that they are never averse to barefaced lying to the nation in order to please their ultimate (and very secretive) real masters.
If I were to give them ANY praise at all - excuse me while I rinse my mouth out with soapy water - they are in "nouse" terms (i.e. finagling, lying, cheating to the nth degree) streets ahead of where we, as the mass of the people, can ever hope to be.
Why do I say this? I say it because for as long as the ordinary Joe continues to be duped and conned by the shite he is fed as "news" as delivered by the Murdoch empire, the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and the list is endless - and while we as a nation continue to swallow it, we will remain oblivious to the stark reality which is that we are gradually being groomed and conditioned to accept it all. This was the ultimate goal of the old Queen Witch herself - expressed in her never to be forgotten mythicised speech TINA. Actually there IS an alternative but it certainly isn't in the Establishment's best interests to allow that possibility to be read and digested is it?
Why are we allowing ourselves progressively to be relegated to a state of stuporous irrelevance? Have we no longer any thinking power, any innate gut feel about wrongs we see, any pride, any bottle such that when we see and feel the pain of being screwed and sidelined, we no longer possess the energy or collective strength of will as a people to articulate our anger and stand up against the dismissive affrontery which is hurled our way like elephant-sized turds on a daily basis?
In short the British people though they might not realise it, are in peril. They are in the midst of a dirty, devious and politically engineered process designed to deliver a total capitulation to the collective power of Capitalism and the pincers are increasingly closing.
