I'm perfectly calm Still can't manage a contribution the the thread I see ......... anyway, work to do.
Chaz is dragging this Forum down with pointless bickering. Mods, lock this thread and issue a ban please...
If you want to get into whatabouttery, I offer for your consideration: - Nick Robinson, BBC political editor and former President of the Oxford University Conservative Association - Andrew Neil, presenter of the BBC's Sunday Politics, This Week and Daily Politics - also Chairman of the company which owns the conservative magazine The Spectator; was in the Conservative Club at university, former editor of a Murdoch-owned newspaper Are these the pillars of left-wing bias of the BBC's political coverage?
...and Andrew Neill's weekly programme with Dianne Abbot and Michael Portillo is pretty well balanced and is not prime time every weekday evening
I get it. In your view, if someone has worked for a left-of-centre news outlet they should be disqualified from working for the BBC in a news/politics role whereas someone with Murdoch/Sky/Sunday Times/Spectator/Conservative Club on his CV is unimpeachably balanced/unbiased.
According to that well known hot bed of socialism, The Daily Telegraph, on learning that he couldn't get a hot meal, Clarkson threw a 40 minute tantrum, told his producer bloke he would be 'on the dole tomorrow' and called him a 'lazy Irish ****'. Thank God someone is still brave enough to be 'outspoken' on our behalf. He's not an old fashioned public school spoilt flat track bully at all, is he? ****ing BBC, suspending this beacon of free speech, with so much important stuff to share.
