Everything’s ok with the world - the Beeb have found balance for Sunday’s programme..... To match the vitriolic, unapologetic Brexit-ranting from Banks, they have called in Tory Minister and Loyalist James Brokenshire......The pre-16 Remainer, who turned turtle on the result and is now a vehement May supporter and Brexit advocate......... that’ll bring the necessary balance, won’t it?
I still like the story of Trump's grandad running brothels. I believe Trump's dad was crooked also. I guess his mum is wondering (where ever she is) what did I bring into this world?
BBC response to concerns about Aaron Banks appearing on Andrew Marr. ‘There is strong public interest in an interview with Arron Banks about allegations of funding irregularities in relation to Leave.Eu and the 2016 EU Referendum. The Electoral Commission has laid out concerns about this in public and it is legitimate and editorially justified for Andrew Marr to question Mr Banks robustly about them, which he will do on Sunday morning.’ We’ll see just how ‘robustly’ that is. Savaged by a particularly friendly rabbit on mogadon?
I'm pretty sure there was a strong public interest in the Hatton Garden robbery, so does that mean members of the gang responsible should have been invited on Money Box to give their side of the story?
To be fair to Marr, he gave Banks a harder time than I anticipated, scoring some points and making Banks look like the smug self-serving crook that he is. Problem is, that there are far too many people in this country who will buy into his rhetoric and lies. Nothing will change.....
Ironic, as it’s directly because of his Russian connections that gives Banks the prop to be as lippy as he is!
Absolutely, intimidation that warrants criminal investigation. However, there seems to be some collective apathy to either hold these extremist thugs to account - or a collective confusion between the relevant authorities. There are so many parallels to be drawn with the vitriolic, vicious and false attacks on the media in the US. Now, remind me, where’s the connection again, Comrade?
Of course, for the sake of balance Marr had that great defender of bullying journalists and lying to the public Julia Hartley-Brewer...
