A regular AM reader emails about They Who Must Not Be Named:
‘AM, No mention on BBC News at 10 of which newspaper the arrested police officer was passing information to. No mention on Newsnight even of the arrest of the police officer!!! Unbefuckinglievable.’
Quite.
That’s the next thing: a citizens’ strike against the TV licence. Not ‘why should it be so much’, but ‘why should it be anything at all’ as the BBC is so biased along its own agenda?
Ideally, there would be no TV licence fee, & all broadcasters would depend on market response – ie through advertising. But if there is, regretably, still to be a TV licence why isn’t it shared out equably between all the broadcasters?
What worries me is why is their no response from any MP at all. There have been one or two little comments but never any serious follow up. The BBC website editing has been ‘dodgy’ about various subjects for years – sometimes blatantly so. The bias to Labour on news and current affairs programmes is catalogued (time talking, times interrupted etc)
“What worries me is why is their[there] no response from any MP at all.”
Can you imagine the BBC firehose blast of disparagement said MP would receive? Forever? Even in the HoL, you can have your seat removed by the Consensus (see Monckton). In the Commons, you’d kiss your political career good-bye, or worse.
Brian I agree entirely! “The forces of Hell would be unleashed”!
Re there/their…D’oh! I hate that sort of typo. I’m of the opinion that more time online/keyboard using is increasing this sort of typo that *almost* never happens with paper and pen! I’ve seen all the following (not including apostrophe horrors) some more than others:
there/they’re/their
too/to/two
right/write
waist/waste
you’re/your/(yaw)
know/no/now
