Yes I'd noticed the BBc out to get May. Of course when I was working with a multi national work force in 2001 that would be nothing to do with Liebour flooding the country with immigrant workers. it must just of been my imagination.

As we see with the BBC all the time, their coverage has absolutely nothing to do with the facts of a particular issue, just the direction of their own agenda. In this case - Labour good / Conservative bad. It might well be that May is culpable, but this Brodie Clark has a few gaffes in his career. I wonder how he was able to rise to a top position to begin with, let alone receive an MBE Clark started his career in the Her Majesty's Prison Service, accumulating 22 years of service, attaining the position as director of HMP Whitemoor. He was governor of Whitemoor in 1994, when six prisoners including Paul Magee and other IRA members, escaped from the prison's Special Secure Unit after smuggling a gun into the prison. All were later recaptured. Moved to the UK Border Agency, Clark was placed in charge of the Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre, which was managed by Group 4. In February 2002, the building was burnt down following a protest by the detainees, triggered by someone being physically restrained by staff. When the fires started the Head of Group 4 security ordered all staff to exit the building, locking the detainees inside the timber framed building, resulting in five people being injured in the fire.[1] Awarded a CBE in the 2010 New Year Honours, by April 2008 he had attained his current position as head of the UK Border Force in the new UK Border Agency.

Hi just to let you know I'm still here. Due to a pressing project I have avoided the BBc for the past few weeks which is a good thing apart from still having to pay for it, The odd bits I have seen assure me nothing has changed with their outlandish bias. I did catch part of the news today in which included a piece about climate change...Who cares most people are now wise to the con even if the BBc are still banging on about it. Also the goverments new housing "initiative" I see that the BBc were blaming high required deposits and lack of lenders. Oh hang on I seem to remember it was lending to people who couldn't pay back was one of the issues that started the financial mess in the first place and 100%+ mortgages that required a small or no deposit were "irresponsible". Of course the whole issue of massive unemployment and the low wage casualised employment market were not mentioned. Regards to all. Normal service will be resumed as soon as I can.

Lack of it has never stopped them in the past. Come back soon

Nice to see BBc news in action on Thomas cook last night on the 10 o'clock news complete with idiotic "winter puns". Questions along the lines of should people have confidence in you?. No doubt hopeing if they go under with a lack of customer confidence the beeb will be able to film qeues of stranded holiday makers.

Also this morning I see the man I can not stand St Vince of Cable's at it again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15844614I can't get the video of the article to run so can anyone confirm if his worfd of wisdom were opposed by another guest or not. As I can't get the video to run and it was on before I turned on the tv I can't really comment too much. However making it easier to fire people isn't exactly a step forward. Someone I used to work with was removed just because their "face didn't fit (a quote from the manager) just before they would have had entltlment to tribunual.

There's no video in that article, only audio. Just check your speaker is not muted.
Near the end of the clip the interviewer first tries to get Cable to infer something negative about bankers, and then tells us that 'British workers don't typically try to get away with something that they're not entitled to get away with'. Strange way of putting it, but shows his mindset, and a lot about what is wrong with this country today.

I'm not an economist so this might be complete tosh but in my opinion one of the biggest crimes of the last Labour government was the wholesale sell off of our vital utilities to foreign control.
The huge profits these companies make by ripping off the people in this country wings it's way across the Channel to boost the economies of Germany, France and Spain and line the pockets of foreign financiers.
As far as I'm aware under Nazi/EU laws it's perfectly legal for governments to nationalise vital utility companies so maybe that's an option that could be considered.

To be fair it was actually Thatcher that started off selling off our national heritage. When Labour saw how much money it generated in the short term, even though it was always going to be a long term mistake, they carried it on. I really hated Thatcher for doing it, and I saw it as certainly a contributing factor in creating the 'downward slide' of this country.

You are right, Teddy.
But as Thatcher said her greatest achievement was the creation of New Labour so I suppose they are all tarred with the same brush.

;D Eventually some bright spark earning £150k+ will come up with the idea to have the Best 100 of these clips, as voted for by their audience, with a couple of 'celebrities' to host it. Beats thinking up new programmes. I got a good idea for a programme - Biggest BBC Examples of Bias

For God's sake they are at it again. Yes! The roundabout of news is back on liver disease and therefore yet again alcohol. Ok I don't actually drink (alcohol) any more I think this year I've probably had about 3 pints so I'm personally not bothered if the price / availability is raised / restricted. However the agenda would seem to be there to restrict the use of alcohol. Then we were back to...Yep climate change I turned over at this point. I also note on the re-wtiting of the Euro treaty story, no mention of dare I say it? Yes I'm going to, giving us an opportunity of a referendum.

AAAAH! Again Alcohol, diet and lifestyle it's just like the records stuck.
Also irony of the week BBc report from Russia (on the mid-day news), the presenter going on about events not being reported on the television..Does that sound familaiar to anyone? wonder why the BBc have got it in for Putin?

Well it's been a while I've avoided BBc over the xmas period wherever possible so I've not had anything to complain about. However I was intrigued as to how the BBc would handle the Abbot Tweets. AS you realise I wasn't dissapointed business as usual. I sat through Newsnight and I really want to listen to what Howe said again before I make any observations. However I will say I don't think it went very well.

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/default.stmNo clips abbout abbott tweet on here. So I'm not in a position to confirm exactly what BBc race expert darcus howe did say. It was along the lines that abbott shouldn't have said sorry and it looks like the BBc have buried the story now, certainly Maitland looked a little shocked at the comments. The usuali BBc debate format where the "debate" is as usual one sided in this case no one to advocate that the tweets were racist, Certainly abbots excuse was so lame if it was a horse they would have shot it. 19th century colonism on a phrase being used in the present tense. I'm certain if I had made comments in a similar vein I would now be having the pleasure of talking to PC Plod. Back to diets on the roundabout of news with ricketts making a comeback in certain areas of UK society (better eat some fatty fish, margarine or go sunbathing then). On certain blogs there are rumours of a pedophile trial " featuring "certain members" of UK society in Liverpool, Preliminary trail was allegedly 3/1/12 being subject to a media blackout. Certainly I've seen nothing on the local BBc news but then back on 4/7/11 I was told this "The case of the alleged child abuse has been covered in detail and will continue to be covered," in a complaint To North West Tos*ite (sorry Tonight) strange though I personally never saw anything else concerning that court case.

I see in the most recent BBC article on the subject they make it quite clear right from the headline how they want this story to be seen. Now that this Diran Adebayo and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown have given us their opinions, among everybody else's which the BBC prefers to ignore, that pretty much dismisses our grievances about it.

So Monday morning and BBc Breakfast are spiining around on the roundabout of news again. Yes alcohol -again. Some drivel about having 2 days a week drink free. As people may get confused with guidelines and think they need to drink every day for their health? I noted with disinterest the BBc reports on the centenary of the ANC (it must be love) and the solemn tones informed us that ,terrorist, nelson mandela was too frail to attend. When he kicks the bucket no doubt the BBc will be expecting North Korean style funeral conditions here. On the same 24 hour news report they had one of these people who they drag in to spout off about whatever informing us that , in a nutshell, after the cold war the Americans and Europeans abandoned thew white goverment there. Funny in my mind there all kind of embargos going in in which UK plc lost out on massive sales i.e. Buccaneer strike aircraft because of. As an aside a couple of weeks ago I was talking to my nephews who were telling me that they had been taught about mandela and suprise martin luther king, (all relevant to UK school kids I think not). Been couldn't tell me exactly why mandela had been jailed certainly not treason and terrorism. They were also unaware that untill recently he was barred from entering the USA as he was on one of their their unwanted lists.

Happy New Year Carl.
Listening to R4 last night about midnight (thinking aloud) two gems came out of Al Auntie Mosque.
1:- The 9/11 attacks was caused by the number of right wing politicians in America and this upset Al Qaeda.
2:- The slaughter of Christians in Nigeria is down to the high price of fuel in the country.
I don't know if it's available on i player but it's well worth a listen.
BTW the compulsory 'Israeli aggression' soundbite managed to worm it's way in as per b-bbc requirements.

How much do I hate the BBc? Yep that's right lots. More bizzare behaviour as the BBc illustrate the "race" ( ?) between the Scottish And English Parliments with two Seats driving round a track-For God's sake Why? Then to bump up my blood pressure we go to the lastest migration report. Complete with an Albanian chef comenting on the "lazy" English- perhaps he would like to say that to my face but then I doubt it. Yes first "Right Wing" Migration watch state migration dameges work opportunities for us, then as if by magic the NEISR report appeared which my understanding of was migration doesn't damage our job opportunities because European workers are better educated and have a better work ethic pay their taxes and create jobs. Ergo we are all thick lazy and don't pay tax (difficult if you are on PAYE. Now we have a new report that Non -EU immigrants damage job opportunities but in the report the BBc as usual cloud the issue. Tell you what I'm angry about English workers being slagged off with no I'm complaining right now" Oh look the BBc have a new layout on the complaint page-Ok so here is my complaint let's chart it's progress. Once again we have witnessed a foreign worker slagging of the English. On your article an Albanian "chef" made remarks about English work ethics followed by an interview in a similar vein with the restaurant owner. As usual there was no balancing interview to refute these comments. I find these remarks offensive and unwarranted and just not true.. I personally am sick to death of the agenda you have on this issue. I still have not forgotten the stitch up job you did on “the day the immigrants went home" program. Perhaps you would like to confirm the BBC view on the English work ethic?

I suggest you use what will undoubtedly be the inevitable 'fobbing off' reply back at them, to show just how the BBC 'work ethic' is directed at its paying public. If the government made a directive that anybody on unemployment benefit didn't have to pay their license fee, and we know that EU immigrant workers don't anyway, wonder how long it would take the BBC to change their tune.
