Storm in a Breakfast Tea-Cup
Just for the record, since the Guardian is trying to make something of it. Guido is satisfied that BBC Radio 5’s Nicky Campbell meant nothing malicious and it was a bit of early morning banter that went a bit too far. Campbell apologised on air there and then and later in person. His apology is accepted.
It is indicative of the BBC mindset that it is often the case that Guido is pigeon-holed by way of introduction, in contrast when say Will Hutton is on the BBC, he is not introduced as “the left-wing commentator”. This is not the first time this has happened. When Michael Crick referred to Guido as “the right-wing blogger” the immediate retort was to refer to “Michael Crick, the left-wing broadcaster”. See how you like them apples…
Just so easy to apologise, isn’t it after broadcasting live to millions such an outrageous slur?
They don’t like it up em Mr Mainwaring.
There are some worrying default settings at play in our ‘objective’ national broadcaster’s bowels.
If Jeremy Vine’s ’show’ gets preserved (I suspect Mr. Campbell’s sorry performance may go missing as ‘not newsworthy’), do try and catch today’s, as I did driving back from a meeting.
First up we had what I call ‘The Newsnight Twofer’ (seems to apply here too) , where two extremes are brought in to comment, on this occasion on the latest expenses scam… er.. diversion.
I am not up to speed on the facts, but it seems taken as read there is someone leaking, though I have yet to find out where this originated. Oddly, no news reporters seem too concerned about that.
So we get some ex-Sun type, now a commercial London station DJ, basically in full ‘geezer’ mode. And in calm rebuttal, we have… a Guardian political commentator. Hey, balance! Thing is I was with the Guardian guy most of the way until he ’suggested’ that it ‘may’ have been leaked by a Tory mole.
Er… at their distracting best, I thought the BBC, via its tame, carefully-selected invitees, were just try to push the £300k greed angle? Now it’s a Tory plot? What the heck?!!!!
And while I think that touting for money does weaken our ‘hero’s’ (I don’t see the person, if they exist, as anything like that) case, there are a few points that came up that seemed not to get mentioned.
First, our Jezza and his mate from the Grauniad were pretty keen on the ‘Why now when it was all coming out later?’. Er… with the state of our government these days, I imagine most that would have come out was going to be accidentally shredded waaay before Dear Leader’s new deadline. Also, and this is no excuse, what are the prospects for an honest whistleblower? I say fired and stripped of pension at best. So £300k doesn’t seem too bad really as compo for exposing the sick, hypocritical farce that is our government.
Speaking of which, we then get that paragon of fiscal probity and moral rectitude, ex-DPM Prescott on to pitch his book… um… discuss his inspirational relationship with his protege and poster child for the Labour revolution…. assault your teachers, get expelled, meet a ‘celeb’ pol given airtime, ’stay in touch’, get a job, get knocked up (‘…it were after I met John,’ she confirms, sparing us a mental image too far. I guess we’ll have to hark back to his secretary for word on his advice on contraception to those he mentors), leave job, stay in touch… and get touted as inspirational for being a bit miffed she hasn’t be shoved up the benefits register further by now. But… she does want to be a lawyer. Bless.
Even Mr. Vine and almost all his callers were having trouble keeping that load of b*llsh*t down. Though one was accused by Mr. Prescott, of being a Tory troll (rhymes with ‘mole’). If I were them I would sue the S.L.O.B (Senior Labour Outdated Bruiser) for libel. And the BBC and Mr. Vine for letting such a thing pass as a defence at their expense. Just because most folk are heartily sick of the sordid lot of them, the results of their failed experiments, and feel moved to comment, does not make all of us Tories. Though to the BBC, anyone not Labour must default this way.
Really I should drink less Red Bull.
Shut up!
I almost vomitted when I heard this dopey thick Jade Goody soundalike bird saying she wanted to train to be a lawyer! I almost vomitted again when that great man of moral fibre Prezza was supporting her and agreeing with her.
I did laugh out loud when she said that since Prezza’s last meeting with her she had got knocked up by her ‘boyfriend’ and is now after a place to live. It was pure comedy when Prezza continued to defend the stupid bitch and said something like ‘not all single teen mums get pregnant just to get a place to live’. Even with his proven ineptitude in everything, that was a statement of pure fantasy (like having Tracey from the office in schoolgirl uniform maybe?). The man clearly is losing his few remaining marbles.
John Prestcot is a discraceful hoon of a man who eat his way through the public purse and tried to justify it on an illness. He also fucked his secretary on minesterial time and property thus commiting the crime of MISCONDUCT IN PUBLIC OFFICE. He hides this corruption behind the “Working class man of the people image” Do not be deceived as someone once said ” by their fruits you shall know them.
It’s ok. Guido isn’t aiming for a career in broadcasting and Campbell’s printed a retraction. It’s this thing about ‘pre-conceived ideas’ that worries me. Guido’s being stereotyped and that isn’t good. Stay away from the light Geeds.
What are they supposed to call him? That c’unt off the Tinternet?
The BBC are not biased, that’s why for the second day in a row, they have NO letter on their Ceefax page 145 which even mentions Jacqui Smith’s name or her scams.
ceefax! is this 1987?
It’s all Thatcher’s fault and she was big on Ceefax.
the beeb are a bunch of lefty pinkos who have no idea of the real world
Heard interview on bbc iplayer (starts on 1.07min) whats all the song and dance about! slightly funny at the begining.
Marxism is a totalitarian cult. It cannot suffer dissent, as to do so would damage the unity needed to create a new Socialist dawn.
Guido must be condemned as a trouble maker, the same way Stalin, Mao, Hitler or any BBC presenter present doubters.
If they weren’t Socialists they wouldn’t be working for the BBC or presenting shows.
I guess Mr Fawkes as ever is playing a long game.
Left wing right wing who gives a rat’s arse. The point is that the MSM is not telling us the truth and that we live in a cleptocracy that is run by hoons. The BBC have to put a label on you Guido as they do everyone else who is of a strong independant mind. The left and right are no longer a threat to the establishmnet, it is free thinking people with a sence of right and wrong that they fear most. Keep up the good work and tell Draper,Aaronovitch, Toynbee, Sir WR Mogg etc to stick it where Mr Smith sticks his finger..
who gives a rat’s arse
Me.
and me!
Just to be pedantic, Guido is more Anti-Statist than left-wing (or right wing for that matter).
I believe he’s a minarchist like myself, we just fight over how small the “min” bit is.
Surely what’s viewed as right -wing is now mainstream ?…take immigration control…Labour party policy now would have been considered rampant fascism just a few years ago !…labels, labels….tut…tut
I thought Labour’s immigration policy was ‘come on in, lads, there’s room for 20 million more’.
have you tried to get in recently?
Fawkes, this is standard beeboid practice, to refer to anyone who disagrees with nulab by their fave perjorative label, ‘right wing’, just to set the context of their remarks, you understand ! They pulled this stunt all the time with Migration Watch, as an example, untill they were forced to stop by complaints.
BTW, why do the new comments slip slowly sideways and down, to the left of my screen, rather like I imagine you after a good Friday lunch ?
Well your last phrase gives you the answer, doesn’t it?
Nicky Campbell is actually one of the best of the R5 bunch – of the ‘plague on all your houses ilk’.
If you want the bad try R5 with Williams…
And Bacon, too.
A proper pair of beeboid buffoons…
Oh I hate Bacon – he is so up himself. Brian Alexander has been pensioned off which is a real shame.
Julian Worricker was their best.
Campbell is a popinjay. More often than not he chatters aimlessly so spoiling anything worthwhile he or his interviewee may have uttered. Today’s response was very instructive. As soon as Guido retorted with left wing BBC he instinctively pronounced Guido a fascist. He likes to pretend that he is impartial.
Don’t know who Williams is but Bacon is definitely a biased beeboid. Last night he was trying to drum up sympathy for Jackboots Jackwe. Claiming that everyone can make a “little” mistakes when completing their expense claims!
Shelagh Fogerty should be allowed – nay paid – to strangle NC live on air, then carry on her superb broadcasting untroubled further by his twitterings.
BTW – I am new to this place. Why is my name (optiona?
Absolutely right I made the “little of mistake” of building the worlds biggest Pyramid scam and noy calling myself a bank.
The BBC is not ‘left wing’ in the slightest, nor do I necessarily think Guido is ‘right wing’. This whole left/right paradigm is just a tool the obfuscate the fact that EVERY politician is a corrupt to the core. Lying bastards the lot of them, just like that spineless fuck Draper, the inbred bastard child of Alastair Campbell.
No, the BBC really is left-wing. And while we’re having this discussion, I think we should all apologise for something.. at least.
Sorry Guido, I’ve always assumed you were a ‘right-wing blogger’ in the sense that you certainly not on the left or in the centre. I’ve seen you as a ‘right-wing anarchist’ (as opposed to the left-wing collective-type anarchist). Not my politics, but I see no harm in it. In any case, Will Hutton should always be introduced as ‘useless tw*t’ in my view.
I’m sure that Guido would agree that he is ‘right-wing’ (though certainly not ‘fascist’ — an ideology characterised by big government). His complaint is that ‘left-wing’ is used by the BBC as the default position: if someone is left-wing, this doesn’t need to be mentioned, while others are described as ‘right-wing’.
Wtf is so insulting about being called a fascist? Eh? You want a visit from some of my chaps in tastefully matching tops?
You made a twat of yourself on that balcony during the invasion of Abyssinia.
You and Clara hanging upside down, how very tasteful!
“You made a twat of yourself on that balcony during the invasion of Abyssinia.”
We all make mistakes, No Longer. I was never as big a clown as that PM the British have landed themselves with, Jings and help me, Bob.
Black is the new red
Try everything once before you die, Triplet.
Or, indeed, after.
Myners has burst onto the news, again, big time. I can just hear the 2012 enquiry evidence, “Gordon told me there were no weapons of mass deceit and I should……………..”!
Oh dear
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7974371.stm
Yeah. Sir Fred to the rescue again. Anything to get them troughing Labour politicians off the front page. Quick picture of Fred’s house and an exhortation from Harman to try Fred in the ‘court of public opinion’ like the NoW did with those sex offenders and Bob’s your uncle. Or, in our case, your economic svengali.
Next time one of them politicians opens their gob to condemn Fred he should come out with all guns blazing like Dan Hannan. Chapter and fucking verse about being persecuted for the sins of omission and commission of this government.
Probably can’t though. He’ll have a gagging order as part of his pay-off so he has to eat shit from fuckwits like Harmon and Smith all day. He should claim political asylum in France.
Having seen Guido on the telly last week, he is just a sad man. Made even the demented Dolly Draper look normal.
Don’t think so, Mate. It would take more than “Right Wing Glogger Guido Fawkes” to make your paymaster seem normal.
That you, Dolly ?
You sad, sad ‘individual’.
Cheer up, I know the truth hurts but it’s best for Guido in the long run
Here! Here!
Tra laa!
Chris SE9 -odd that you have the same IP address as Draper
OOOOOOO:O
Scary!
Not sure how you are working that out, but should be quite easy for an adimistrator to do so. Be worth doing especially for bits like Mr Draper posting to agree with a posting by Mr Draper about the comment Mr Draper made on the televison that somebody or other was deluded.
Trouble is Mr Draper would probably spin that his multpal personality disorder offered the Trade unions who foot the bill even better value for money.
Guido does it all the time.
I think the nerd word is ’sock puppet’
Tra laa!
Are you a new troll?
No I am a none
Anywhere to get a recording of this show?
Tony Benn started this years ago when he kicked up on Question Time because he was introduced as ‘left wing, rabbit baiter, etc.’. That’s why the intro’s on QT are v. brief now.
Did I ever tell you about the fuzzy wuzzies in the Sudan, well we were………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
nah, but you should see the jungle-bunnies in Brixton and Lambeth, skin as black as molasses, and pearly white teeth.
make great pets, I’ll have yhou know! You can train them and everything!
It it just me or does the theme tune for the Archers seem increasingly surreal in it’s pompous frivolity, or has someone slipped me something in my coffee? There are times when I don’t reach the ‘off’ switch in time and have to endure a few bars of it’s propaganda-laden shrilling. Seems to musically sum the Beeb up for me.
You sound lie Lina Snell.
Which one is she? It goes past in a horrible blur while I wait for something better to come in.
Sorry, don’t normally get my ‘its’ wrong. I feel so deranged after hearing the the beginning of the Archers.
My favourite tune in all the world is the music at the END of the Archers. Only a seasoned connoisseur can tell the difference.
I note the Guardian headline says ‘exchanged insults’ – yet nowhere is there a record of Guido insulting Campbell. Calling him ‘left wing’ hardly counts, as it is a badge many wear with pride…
I’ve pretty much given up on BBC news, Radio 5 and Radio 4 (apart from a very few good comedy shows). Too often their agendas are loaded with biased reports or constant plugs for upcoming BBC shows. Sometimes they just ignore the important issues to avoid embarrassing the government. Radio 5 is now so dominated by sport that they should just rename it BBC Sport.
I’d like the BBC to introduce its reporters/presenters with a warning about their personal political and/or religious bias. That way we know what their agenda is before they speak.
Good point. I too am fed up with Today in particular making up news items that are nothing less than a glorified (and thinly diguised) plug for some other BBC programme that, only coincidentally of course, is about to be broadcast that day. R5 is a no-go in our household – if you don’t like wall to wall sport then you won’t like R5, it’s as simple as that.
And while we are on the subject of plugging, the Beeb even manages to work plugs for their sports coverage into their TV weather forecasts – coincidentally, again, only those fixtures that they will be broadcasting. So the weather for any other big event that they are not covering can go hang.
Extremely tiresome, which is why I tune into anything Beeb less and less these days.
if youd listened on sunday, porngate was mentioned every half hour for the whole day. hardly a cover up
It’s boring and it’s shit. If we have to listen to Kate Silverton making another bland “teamy” remark (K:”Sounds like something’s taking off?”; Reporter on air base in Basra: “Planes”) during “Breakfast” then we would all be better off with CBeebies.
The BBC spends as much air time showing “Commercials” as ITV ‘cept its commercials about the BBC they show constantly.
If he had any clue as to the meaning of fascist beyond the knee-jerk “You disagree with the modern liberal ergo you are wrong and fascist” he would know that fascism is a collective ideology of the left.
But why let knowledge and reason get in the way of labelling some beastly man like Guido who can think outside the received wisdom.
Fascism is nothing to do with the left has always been opposed by the left and always will be.
Stand up in a bar in Catalonia and say fascism is a collective ideology of the left, you won’t walk out.
Similarly if you said the same thing in a bar in a fascist leaning area of Spain you wouldn’t walk out.
The Conservative Party panders to fascist elements, that’s why it will fail.
Fascism is not a joke, it is a genocidal reality.
“Fascism is nothing to do with the left”
Wow! What a cosy, simple and blinkered world you must live in. History is not your strong point, is it?
Whatever
Mr 97 O’Nonanist
Cogency isn’t yours is it?
The answer is:
“don’t go to Spain, they don’t know what they are talking about”.
And you are confusing Fascism and Nazism and the Spanish Dictatorship
Yo, Frankie! It’s been so long! D’you still get any of those little choir boys with the enchanting arses where you are?
Fascism is nothing to do with the left ?
Mussolini was editor of the Socialist newspaper Avanti
Falangist, a fascist organization constituting the official ruling party of Spain after 1939.
“Mussolini was editor of the Socialist newspaper Avanti”
and Oswald Mosely was the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in MacDonalds government.
“Although Franco and Spain under his rule adopted some trappings of fascism, he, and Spain under his rule, are not generally considered to be fascist; among the distinctions, fascism entails a revolutionary aim to transform society, where Franco and Franco’s Spain did not seek to do so, and, to the contrary, although authoritarian, were conservative and traditional. Stanley Payne, the preeminent scholar on fascism and Spain notes: “scarcely any of the serious historians and analysts of Franco consider the generalissimo to be a core fascist”. The consistent points in Franco’s long rule included above all authoritarianism, nationalism, the defense of Catholicism and the family, anti-Freemasonry, and anti-Communism.
See wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Franco
In short a ‘Cult of Personality’ and a mild Kleptocracy.
The Spanish Dictatorship resembled the S American Dictatorships rather than the ‘Progressive’ movements in Italy, Germany or indeed the Soviet Union.
Jon Gaunt got fired from TalkSport for calling some smoking puritan a Health Nazi. Give Campbell the same treatment. He could join his assistant Julia Bradbury who’s ‘taking time off’ whilst under Police investigation for an air miles scam.

What a surprise – another Daily Mail reader!
What a surprise – another hoon
Except that Julia’s coming back on for BBC Country File on Sundays. She is likable and fun. Just seeing her take the piss out of Edwina Curry on Come Dine With Me was a hoot. A welcome return.
Nicky Campbell is biased towards New Labour and anything Scottish that he does a disservice to his wider UK audience. He goes remarkably quiet when there is anything bad in the news that started in Scotland or has a strong link – the list is now getting longer – and always plays up the positive. What negative? Yae must have misheard me pal.
Scottish football. Scotland rugby. Scotland banking system. Very bad nationalist agenda. He’s an interesting presenter but unhealthily blinkered. His co-presenters are much much better.
There’s ‘right wing’ and then there’s ‘right wing’ as used by leftists. The latter is a leftist coded tag for “evil and to be disregarded”. Most leftists only respond with ad hominem attacks to demonise and/or marginalise their political opponents. Their political ideology encompasses an inherent herd-triggered conspiracy to undermine opponents and to distort any truth to do so. This is different from a political ideology that may resort to such methods on a case specific basis.
Guido has ably demonstrated how giving these bastards a taste of their own medicine so discomforts them, e.g. Jon Snow, the rabid left-wing news presenter.
I used to think leftists were just people with different political views. Now I wish them and their twisted ideology destroyed for ever as a political entity in Britain.
Guidorc is a laugh, stop dribbling Guidorc, heel!
Do you read the Daily Mail by any chance?
Only the interviews about Derek Draper.
No I don’t. “Daily Mail reader” is another leftist coded tag and in your presumptive prejudice you have usefully demonstrated how it is used. Political dissenters are belittled, scorned, marginalised and ultimately demonised by the use of pejorative terms. Subconsciously you and your co-conspirators would like to see them imprisoned in re-education camps, much of the thought control legislation for which your repulsive party has already established.
Your other posts are useful examples of the smug, priggish leftism that believes all opposing views are unworthy and deserving of contempt. The Political Correctness that you and your kind have so cunningly imposed on us is just another means of stifling open debate and dissent.
Prescott
The “BBC bias” is typical Daily Mail-type nonsense from Guido and his loyal army of brain-dead followers whom he sent onto “Comment is Free” to post Puritanical complaints about Polly Toynbee’s balanced and dispassionate article.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/mar/31/jacqui-smith-mps-expenses-media
Most ordinary people couldn’t care less about your Puritanical moralising. As Derek Draper said, this blog is the sewer and Guido’s followers are the sewage.
Was that Derek Draper posting as ‘Nicky Campbell’ at No. 25 above?
No it was Guido tryig to drum up business, things a bit slack since his belly on the telly event.
Nicky- LOL!
Naaah mate. This Labour government is the sewer and the UK economy is the sewage. Currently so far down the shitter it’s a brown slick off Weston-Super-Mare.
never respond to jgm2, he is less than useless and too easy to slap
this has to be a wind up?
You’re joking!
Ping!
I think poofter pride is really guido doing it for a laugh. Nobody could be that brain dead and draw a breath. Could they?
Sewage is used as fertilizer, makes good things grow. If you cannot see the goodness contained in this sewer you will be surprised at the forest that will grow to cover the drab nastiness of the last 11 years.
Harman_Pride
Given how often you seem to turn up you appear to be one of the most loyal followers. The biggest turd in the sewer.
Problem is, most ordinary people are wondering wtf is going on! Forget the inter-media sniping, your lot have f***ed us well and truly. If you don’t like people saying as much, I suggest you post no more comments and sit back and enjoy the show.
A PE teacher faces disciplinary action after pictures of her in a range of “completely inappropriate” poses appeared on a modelling website.
Of course, if you’re a government minister like Chris Bryant (parading on the internet in his Y-fronts) no-one could possibly construe it as ‘bringing the government in to disrepute.
In fact, it’s hard to think of any behaviour that would bring this pile of crap into disrepute.
What a minister does with his or her private life is no concern of ours unless it affects their ability to do their job.
Now stop your moralising. Puritanism is so 17th Century!
It’s hardly private if it’s on the internet. What about the PE teacher facing disciplinary action for much the same?
Whiter than white. The white stuff. Who knew they meant that white stuff.
it affected me -made me feel sick!
or is paid for by taxpayers money, you hoon
I am still waiting for the Guardianistas to make a pronouncement on Timney’s preferred viewing, especially from the “Wimmin”.
Didn’t Jacqie’s husband know about the exploitation and demeaning way in which women are “used” in this sector of the “sex trade”. Using young women as a commodity to gratify the lust of older men is a vile practice. This subject has been aired many times in The Guardian.
So why didn’t Polly make this plain in her column and condemn Timney?
It’s okay – he was watching gay porn. So that’s all right then.
sums up the bbc.if you are not a socialist then you are a fascist……..
just shows how ingrained this stance is.
is that what the un-biased bbc is supported by tax payers for?
strange how they all take nice fat salaries,perks ,pensions etc………
but of course it’s all very well being for the proles-but heaven forbid them actually earning the same as joe public!
hypocritical hoons all of them.
I have a lot of close friends who work at the BBC, and I know for a fact they are very hard-working and public-spirited servants who consistently produce quality programming which people like you benefit from. Have you never enjoyed the Today Programme, Panorama, Costume Drama, Entertainment, Sport programmes that are the envy of the world?
Daily Mail readers like you always moan about public sector workers when they are the ones who willingly take LOWER salaries to serve the public rather than lining their own wallets.
Keep on decrying our hard-working teachers, doctors and nurses. You will continue to LOSE the votes of the entire public sector!
stop it
I believe the figures show that your average public servant earns more than your average private sector employee. That’s before the early retirement and non contributory pension.
They ain’t doing it for love. They’re doing it for cash. Same as the rest of us.
You must be a Daily Express reader.
They’re also doing it for the leisure time – Two days on, five days off. Or three days on, four days off. Nothing too taxing.
Lots of Beeb friends? Of course you have. Labour and the BBC are practically the same organisation – with a constant exchange of staff.
Quality? Oh please… you’re killing us. You mean gems like;
Help Me Anthea — I’m Infested.
My Man Boobs and Me.
My Dog’s as Fat as Me.
Freaky Eaters.
Fat Men Can’t Hunt.
**** off I’m hairy.
What kind of shit is HP taking, he’s not on this planet! The Beeb are totally biased and the vast majority of their output brain deadening. If only we still had the likes of Robin Day (I will never forget the John Knot interview) when media men were men and not all a bunch of crypto comunist fudgepackers.
PS I read the FT to get a balanced view
I have a lot of close friends who work at the BBC ….
That will explain everything. All communist poofs together
Harman_pride is a spoof. Pretty good one, though, Maybe from same stable as We Need Help. April1 tomorrow, folks.
Harman_Pride, you don’t seem to be able to read very well. bofl did not decry hard-working teachers, doctors and nurses. You said that as a destraction and failed attempt to make bofl look bad.
bofl made his comments about the BBC. Please try and pay attention and do not try and twist the truth.
By the way, why does the BBC never advertise jobs in the Daily Telegraph?
Harman Pride, im a public servant, i work in the NHS, as a nurse (which at the moment after the stafford scandal makes me about as popular as scabies) and i cant wait to get rid of this lieing, thieving, morally bankrupt shower of shit. The scum who inhabit Westminster at the moment deserve all the spite and bile they are getting. I hate this government they have betrayed the very people they were voted in to serve. As a member of unison i can hardly be called right wing, and i dont read the mail ( i prefer the Indy to be honest) but the sooner Jacquie Smith and her criminal party mates are consigned to the dustbin of history the better.
Harman Pride has been at the London Pride again
Actually, most of those programmes are rubbish…. and they get repeated ad infinitum. Because we sooooo grateful they spent our money on more Hardy/Bronte/Dickens piss-poor adaptations (let’s try reading the books first, eh!)! The sport is woefully filmed and commentated (barring Brian Moore, whose “gay slap” comment was probably the last funny thing ever broadcast by the beeb), Panorama is straight out of Ned Flanders’ Leftorium, and all news comes with a handy slant. All shit, I’m afraid HP. Glad we’ll soon have to pay to watch that bilge online as well apparently. Have you no shame.
Harman troll! the public sector needs to be culled by about 40%. They produce no money and no sustained economic growth. the public sector is too big, and overpaid.
Remember, public SERVANTS should be affordable, and serve – they are not demi gods. Of course they should work hard – they are a service! The businesses and real hard working people who generate money in this country provide their salaries public SERVANTS should remember that.
You may be suffering from Dr. Polly’s “New wave Puritanism”
take no notice of me I’ve cracked.
[...] up: Nicky Campbell calls Guido Fawkes a fascist on the radio (then, naturally, apologises). Guido doesn’t seem to mind too much – banter gets out of hand sometimes, no real offence meant, [...]
Strange how today’s edition isn’t up on the BBC iPlayer web site. (And yet, the phone-in show, broadcast immediately afterwards, is.)
That’s standard BBC policy you gimp.
Are Fabians gimps too? I think we should be told or is it perhaps a form of gimphobia?
REPORT THIS MAN TO DEREK DRAPER
The Fabian Society is almost universally respected as Britain’s oldest think-tank. Members include George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, Rupert Brooke, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Bevan, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
But since you’re a Daily Mail reader, you probably didn’t know that.
The Fabian Society USED to be respected. Now it just trades on past glories.
Nice people don’t say gimp.
Don’t let them draw you in to their dirty, dirty ways!
Tra laa!
Naaaah. Fabian is the name of that gritty northern, salt of the earth, working class hero Labour MP for Leeds (NE).
Oh Fabian, Fabian, come here and finish your ciabatta dahling.
Did someone mention Gimp?
It was looking impressive until you got to the last 2!
HP at # 78 said
‘Members include George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, Rupert Brooke, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Bevan, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.’
Include? All but the last two have shuffled off this mortal coil, or is the Fabian Society in touch with the other side?
Moreover I suspect that the first five would be embarrassed to be included in the same list as the warmongers.
Harman_Pride, what an utter and complete ZaNuLab hoon, Gimps have rights to!
Guido please report this gimpophobic post to Derek Draper of ZaNuLabList forthwith marked for immediate action.
Draper Pride is obviousy unaware of George Bernard Shaw and HG Wells’ views on eugenics.
Very unsavoury.
Never mind, it’s up now.

Actually it isn’t.
I think you should sue for defamation of character. It could be worth a bob or two.
Naaaah. As somebody else said – it’s the long game. Maintain cordial relations. Get meeja exposure. Get the message out. Mebbe get a job paying megabucks in the next administration. Anyway. Theyowe him (Guido) now.
Are you a scout master?
What I find so depressing is that Mr Campbell spat the word out within a nanosecond of Mr Fawkes retort. I really do mean spat – no time to conjure up a funny/ironic/satirical retort – I genuinely believe he meant it.
I think Mr Fawkes is being very gracious about this rancid milk event.
Are you a troll, deliberately trying to make the Right-wing point of view look paranoid and stupid?
If you are, you’re succeeding!

Hymen Pierced – the ‘c’ of C&A, with Silky Arsehole, aka Anthony Blanche, the rear end ‘a’, of course. Although in reality, both are used as hoons!
It’s hard to have a come back from that, “Libertarian Actually” would have just looked pretentious.
You seem to be getting a lot of ‘old media’ attention lately.
Well said Guido. Yer a tip filla fair fecks ti ye
He’s from Roscommon actually
I can’t do that one either. It’s an amazing accent though.
I haven’t got time for this, I’ve got expense forms to complete.
Can I have your autograph though, sir, it’s for my daughter of course.
Yeah Gordon. Don’t forget 50p for that lightbulb.
And 1.8bn quid to buy up 500 votes in Dunfermline.
See jgm2 could bore for England!
Plato does move about, it’s hard to tell what he’s up to.

Ping!
Have you had a Brazilian?
A Brazillian Goat?
Ping!
Whatever goes on all around me, it’s the same old, here. Oh the whiff of CS in the morning!

The BBC is quite clearly institutionally fascist, as it does not tolerate or accept program-making and free editorial decision-making by people who hold dissimilar views – or that that should ever be the case. You have only to compare the UK regime of public-service broadcasting with that in the Netherlands to see that the supposed representation of politicially diverse point of view here is in fact a patronizing sham.
If the Netherlands system existed in the UK, it’s quite likely sufficient public signatures could be mustered to turn Guido from a blogger into GFTV Guido Fawkes TouchpaperVision. (In the Netherlands GFTV would then qualify for assistance from the public teat. But free funding to enable free debate is not at all the same thing as free funding).
Wow. Another Daily Mail reader.
Wow. Another Labour Television X wanker
Good God, are you really that facile? Is your only retort to call posters you disagree with ‘Daily Mail readers? Or right-wing fascists?
Imbecile.
David Aaronovitch’s article in the Times is a must-read:
“Publishing the Home Secretary’s personal bills for millions to read is as big a breach of privacy as one can imagine”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/david_aaronovitch/article6005054.ece
“the home secretarys plans to collect all our dna, place us all on a database, intercept our web browsing habbits, intercept our emails, phone calls , wanting to know where , with who and for how long we go on holiday for, to track our driving and shopping habbits, to capture our every move on cctv, is a big breach of privacy as any one can imagine”…..no ?
Didn’t realise the Tories were soft on crime and the War on Terror!
When General Franco was once asked how he intended to attack a city he said he had four columns approaching from outside and a fifth column inside.
Because of the present government’s useless immigration and border controls, that Franco comment is very real for Britain. War on Terror? Do me a favour!
Oh fuck off David Aaronovitch you Hoon. If it was a Tory you’d say exactly the same wouldn’t you?
oops i wet my self again
Hello Haraman_Pride you turn me on with your ‘put downs’. You really do.
Fuck off you Draper troll.
what part of Taxpayer’s money dont you understand, Dolly?
I read it too – he’s completely barking.
Her personal bills are her own business. When she charges us they stop being personal. If she has nothing to hide she has nothing to fear.
Because it proves she’s kitted out her house – many, many miles from Westminster – at the taxpayer’s expense?
Aaronovitch’s Hampstead sneering is barely contained these days. His contempt for anybody outside the political/media crescent (roughly. north of the thames running from White City to Hampstead to East London) is completely undisguised.
Sorry, I meant to explain why even with a huge salary and perks I appear to do nothing by way of actual work.
I will try to put it in very simplistic terms for all you hoons out there, my very grand title is of course ‘ Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Now, today after many many years of New Labour rule, there simply are no standards left to uphold.
Further, if another reason for sitting on my backside all day is required, I will give it to you, who pays my fat salary? well, you, the taxpayer does of course but technically I am employed by the MP’s you know and love! Why oh why would one bite the hand that feeds, well over feeds actually.
I rest my case.
They really are of course the new pornography, just a tad more obscene!
Our problem as a nation is we are repressed.
It’s a condition for which we are world famous.
Who on earth says ‘porn’.
It’s EROTIC film, book, magazine.
Erotic, think about it.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
Tra laa!
This Harman Pride person must be someone taking the piss just to make Labour look like a bunch of left-wing, diversity-obsessed, scum-defending twats – which they are of course. Very good and extremely funny.
How can you be against diversity in this day and age? Face it – Britain is changing and women, ethnic minorities, the Muslim community, the LGBT community, deserve to be equally treated.
Let me guess – do you read the Daily Mail?
Gordon, you are forgetting the disabled you prejudiced swine.
I am not against diversity – I am against treating people according to the colour of their skin or sexuality. People should be treated as individuals. You just don’t get it, do you? New Lab are being racist by taking race into account. We are all individuals, not groupings.
Look at David Lammy. How else could a dickhead like that become an MP and minister? Must be positive discrimination. For fucks sake, did you see him on Mastermind? Jesus!
Another example, Boateng, a nice plum job, fat salary, expenses, nice place in the sun and his wife beats up the nice black ladies who do all the skivvying for the lord and lady high commissioner!
Today Brent, Tomorrow Soweto!!!
There seems to be lots of “communities”, the Gay community, the black community, the Muslim community, etc., etc. If you were the BBC GP, who would you interview as leader of the English community?
Yes and what about the Welsh? Don’t we boyo’s count for nothing anymore you ungrateful little troll. I will have to take this matter up immediately with Derek Draper (he gives you access you know). If anybody fancies a bit of fun on Clapham Common instead of sitting at home watching pornographic videos claimed on their parliamentary expenses just drop me a line.
the LGBT community, deserve to be equally treated.
Quite. at the moment they get preferential treatment.
What a hoon you poofter pride.
Diversity is a synonym for low quality.
I second that
‘Diversity’ is a synonym for Balkanisation more like, leading to eventual ethnic replacement or civil war. Absolutely nothing to ‘celebrate’, unless you are a complete lemming that is.
Amazing how Aaronovitch and Toynbee are defending the indefensible. How do they keep a straight face whilst writing that shit? Let’s face it, Polly isn’t usually a defender of porn. But porn funded by the taxpayer. Come on! Archer and Aitkin are saints compared to McNulty and Smith.
We managed to get Archer and Aitken into court, then behind bars.
The chances of getting any of these ZaNuLabour Hoons in front of the beak are ZERO.
Absolutely love it!
Perhaps the next time they interview Gordon Brown they’ll introduce him as the Loony Left Prime Minister?
Caroline Flint, the Minister for Europe, made a stunning admission in the House of Commons yesterday – that she has not read the Lisbon Treaty…where did Gordon Brown get this Hoon??
A jamboree bag?
(Sorry – unless you’re a kid of the 60’s / early 70’s, this will go over your head.)
Why would I want to put a Jamboree Bag over my head?
Why would you want to put a Jamboree Bag over your head, are you ugly?

When I saw the lovely Jacqui leaving her main residence on the news, ignoring the worlds gathered press, with that arrogance only Nulab wimmin can muster.
The film then cuts to her destination with Hazel Blears at some Muslim fest, obviously failing to grasp, while sucking up to these people, the simple fact that in sharia UK, coming eventually to a country you know and love, her old man might have had his knob cut off for what he was up to.
And both she, the chipmunk and other Doris’s will be chained to the kitchen sink.
If we’re to get Sharia law, let’s start by cutting off the hands of theiving ministers and MP’s!
No, check out Saudi for example, the corruption and thieving goes on a plenty for the upper layers and mostly ordinary folk get the chop! Unless of course you are female! then you can be any level of society.
Monocled Macidiot more like.
Campbell…another JockHoon inflicted on a once great nation.
I never used to listen to the dribblebrain on Crapital Radio, so when he moved to beebfilth, it was a bonus.
I haven’t listened to beebHoon radio for 20 years or so.
But – let me guess – you read the Daily Mail?
It’s funny how the loony left always slag off the Daily Mail. Is it because 2.2 million people buy it every day and only 330,000 read the Guardian? Do you hate the fact that it sells nearly 7 times as many copies every day?
I take the cuckold news and pscychology today as my reading material.
Must go its the planning officer at the door to speak to me about my little loft conversion.They told me it is illegal but what do they know.
let me guess – you’re typing one-handed
No. I don’t read dead tree either.
Haven’t done for years.
On the off chance you are HH, how does it feel to know a lot of people out there want you dead, for what you and your colleagues have done to this once great country?
If you had any honour at all, you would take your own life.
Yeah, there are lots of Radical Christians threatening to blow us all up. Right on.
O/T but just saw the end of an interview on BBC24 with Michael Fallon. Apparently, McKillop, ex-RBS chairman has sent a detailed letter to the Treasury Select Commitee destroying Myners evidence to the committee a few weeks ago.
Anyone catch the full interview?
What, Lord Myners the director of hedge fund GLG, with his money in tax haven Bermuda?
Must be a Tory, obviously.
The BBC will start announcing him as “Right winger Lord Myners”.
nickys show is up. when does it happen? i can’t find it.
On an unrelated matter. Who else thinks Jacqui should upload those jizz flicks here to give a little something back to the Hard Wanking Tax payer?

Presentation to Planning Enquiry 11 November 2005.
I moved to Redditch in 1986 to take up a post as a teacher at Arrow Vale High School in Redditch. I still live here and my children currently attend local schools.
I became a Councillor on Redditch Borough Council in 1990? And was elected to Parliament to represent Redditch in 1997.
I have lived in Redditch for 19 years and during all that time I have been in contact with young people of the Town, been a user of local services, met with groups representing all sorts of interests and have been involved in several major local planning issues.
I hope that my experience has given me a grounding in some of the issues before the Inquiry and I hope that you find my statement helpful as you consider the matter.
Taken from the first post on “local campaigns” on that site.

Better to be angered and alienated than blown to smithereens or slowly beheaded with a knife, drowning in your own blood. Your post is patronising and judgemental too – as well as being bilge. Radical Christianity just as threatening? Yeah, when was the last time Radical Christians flew aircraft full of innocent people into buildings full of innocent people or beheaded innocent people on video in the most disgusting manner? Where are the Radical Christian suicide bombers? Please remind me you sanctimonious, deluded prig.
Your distinction is that dropping White Phosphorous from a mile up on schools is acceptable because it’s not suicidal.
It is not a valid distinction.
But the schools would only be hit in error, hardly like slowly cutting off some poor innocent chaps head, requires just a bit more nuttyness don’t you think.
Ridiculous argument. I don’t recall any Radical Christians dropping WP from a mile up on schools.
And as for “And Labour fought for democracy” – don’t make us larf. Labour and its client groups in their various shape-shifting guises have spent nearly 50 years trying to undermine it. You chumps really are delusional – and shameless.
I’m fed up of this… left, right… WHO CARES!
MSM constantly label people left and right wing like these are the only political positions that it’s possible to believe in. When all the time there is the elephant in the room that nobody mentions, whether you believe in big government or small government. To me this is far more important than left or right wing politics.
Left or right, it doesn’t matter. The thing that all totalitarian states have in common is that they started out as socialist (NB: This does not mean leftist!) states that were taken control of by extreme right or extreme left wing groups utilising the level of state control that is needed to centrally plan socialist policies.
Is it really that hard to understand?! Why is this never mentioned in the MSM?!
Probably because it is pig swill.
Ah good, I was worried for a moment that people might be interested in the fact that we live under the control of an insane statist and that once the state is in control, left or right doesn’t actually matter.
But no, you’re right, pig swill.
The BBC is balanced and brilliant. Why they even briefly mentioned Dan Hannan’s speech the other day on the Politics Show. It doesn’t matter that nearly 2 MILLION people have watched it on youtube in less than a week.
Dan Hannan is a gift to the Labour Party.
Do study his views on the NHS.
Tra laa!
Come on Ambrose they aint worth it.
Lets go down the Pink Coconut Gay Bar and leave these Tory Boys to it.
Ah yes, what was once a fine National Health Service, more ZaNuLab wreckage!
Tra La La LaLa
At least Labour is responsible for the introduction of C.Dif into our hospitals which has contributed to a reduction in bed blockers.The tories are just the do nothing party but labour gets on with the job.
Tra Laa!
we call it the National Death Service
Hey You Guys
Can someone tell me where I can get something/ anything for nothing?
What’s that?…..the House of Commons?
The one in Londinium?
Excellent, thanks….off to get something for the G20 …have to look real cool for my compatriat Barrak O’Bama
Thanks

The BBC has reached the stage where they are self parodying. Any one not on message is a “right winger”. Given that we all have to contribute to the BEEB on pain of imprisonment I think we deserve and should expect better.
Nicky Campbell any more of that insulting left wing behaviour and I shall be forced to report you to Derek Draper. You’re a disgrace to BBC Labour.
Isn’t a group of badgers called a Pride?
Surprised they didn’t try to work in a reference to the Daily Mail, and describe you as a DM reader. It seems to be a contractual obligation amongst Beeb luvvies and their whores tohave a pop at the daily mail and its readership. At least there is choice about whether you read the Mail or Guardian for that matter. If you dont read them you dont pay for them!

The Fabian Society is almost universally respected as Britain’s oldest think-tank. Members include George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, Rupert Brooke, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Bevan, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
But since you’re a Daily Mail reader, you probably didn’t know that.
How predictable and hackneyed, a reference to a Daily Mail. There had to be one didn’t there? How 6th form FFS.
Bunch of sixth formers – bet they think Genesis is a great modern combo!
Who is posting under my name and making libelous statements about my loft conversion.
Either I get a retraction and apology or you will be hearing from my lawyers.
I will not tolerate tory boys taking my name in vain.
Why don’t you fuck off and redact yourself big stylee.
How’s the book selling, Dolly?
Is this the ‘real Derek Draper’ – I thought it was I wind up before I ‘hovered’ over his name!!!!
Get a life mate!
“I will not tolerate tory boys taking my name in vain”
Aha. well thats ok then. I’m not a tory.
Did you break planning law when you built the extension?
If not, sue the Daily Mail.
Was it easy to get it sorted and legal?
If not, you should have watched “grand designs” a bit.
Yes, in fairness to Nicky Campbell he did apologise at the end too and sounded like he meant it.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00jh4nw
1 hour 8 minutes or so in for 5 minutes.
Only apologised because he f*cked up big time!
So when Guido said ‘You said I was a right wing blogger, I said you were a left-wing journalist, let’s leave it at that’ Campbell replied ‘Fair enough’…
…Is he admitting he is a left wing journo or not?
Would kind of destroy the patina of ‘impartiality’ that the BBC pointlessly keeps on trying to claim…
Not that they give a shit
I think Nicky Campbell is a sanctimonious travesty of a BBC interviewer but I have just heard the opening remarks of the interview on I-Player and I think you were very right to graciously accept his apology. I don’t believe any malice was intended and I’ll bet he was hoping for the ground to open and swallow him as he saw his career flash before him (still boring tho). So well done the magnanimous you – but do brush up on your interview techniques – you seem to lack a certain gravitas/authority/confidence. Points were well made tho.
.
”It is indicative of the BBC mindset that it is often the case that Guido is pigeon-holed by way of introduction, in contrast when say Will Hutton is on the BBC, he is not introduced as “the left-wing commentato”
They used to introduce the nutty safe speed as a road safety group and they introduced the Neo-con Discovery Institute as independent.
This is a draperbot who posted almost exactly the same text on Al JaBeeba.
“”The BBc introduced the Discovery Institute as independent and Safe Speed as a road safety org. It introduced a number of right wing think tanks as independent . The Taxpayer’s Alliance is appaerntly independent according to the BBC.”"
Calls himself tigerdarwin!
Well Well!
It’s been a bit quite of late – really not much to do
Left wing vs right wing is so old hat now!
No, it is a case of those who have morals and those who don’t.
George Galloway is perfect case in point: sounds impressive, says right-on things but devoid of integrity.
people should be asking why the BBC in Jersey never reports the child abuse inquiry the way it should
All BBC journalists should have to declare their political allegiances and reveal what party they vote for.This way a quota system of journalists could be established providing an equal distribution of journos of different political persuasions.Lie detectors could be used and also a comprehensive questionaire which would reveal political beliefs and biases.Of course we can hear the bias as it is patently obvious from every word these BBC fellow travelling leftists utter but this would be a way of nailing the leftist bastards. Campbells comment is proof positive of his leftist bias and I think it is enough to warrant his immediate sacking
Was Guido’s appearance on News 24 just then planned, or did it take place as part of an apology from the Beeb?
What’s the problem? These days sure;y ‘right wing’ is a compliment. I certainly treat it as such, and would definitely be insulted if called ‘left wing’.JD.
Thank goodness Guido more than held his own. But I would like to know if they paid him? I reckon his opinions are now top of the list for any of the so-called commentators to read on a daily basis. If I was still bashing out in the Lobby he would be required reading – maybe a regular lunch on expenses!
No Guido. Campbell is a pint sized tosser. He’s always defending scumbag Liebour politicians and arse sniffing them, whilst sticking the boot into Tories.
What it devolves to is us, ourselves, you, me and I.
stupid bint
Michael Crick is to the right of Attila the Hun! Along with the rest of the BBC – thats why they support Gordon Brown.
Jon Gaunt was fired for no worse, go on make all of our days and get him the push. Or why not sue him for defamation.
thanks for bringing tricky nicky dick campbell down a peg. He’s always pissing on his co’host’s fire. Bet she loved it
Bazalgette would be proud. Someone needs to treat the torrents of Labour slurry infecting our streets.
If you want to hear Nicky Campbell saying facist over and over again then try listening “again” to tonight’s 5Live piece on the 1982 World Cup including Nicky Campbell’s reminiscences about fighting witah “fascists” in Madrid. He’s a boy that Nicky Campbell.
Guido,
Did you Mr Campbell up in Glasgow was known as “Saint Nick” when it was announced that he was “taking a career break” to look after his first wife as she had chronic fatigue syndrome.
When they wee divorcing the ex confessed he did as this as a publicity stunt.
I mean can you imagine someone like Nicky Campbell being generous
http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/ViewArticle.aspx?articleid=2299860
Nicky Campbell. Nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is. Mind you, nobody could be as clever as Nicky Campbell thinks he is.

It was BBC Radio 1 that ruined music for the whole of the 70s.
We could have been listening to Bad Company, Free, and later the Sex Pistols.
What did we get?
Fucking Rubettes and the Bay City Rollers.
Kunts.
p.s.
Except for John Peel obviously.
but that just goes to show what could have been.

If Guido is a” Facist” should we not be putting him in charge of the trains to get them running on time ?
