Exclusive : Mcbride’s Back! Advising the BBC!
Damian McBride is back giving advice, and this time it is to the BBC. According to Guido’s co-conspirator in White City he is speaking (off-the-record terms) on the 5th floor at the White City HQ about now to an invited audience of BBC luvvies
and executives on a discussion panel with Nick Robinson.
Guido has not been able to confirm from the BBC press office if, or how much he is being paid.
Surely the BBC hardly needs advice on doing Downing Street’s dirty work…
UPDATE : The BBC’s press office has just emailed:
It’s important for people to have the space to take stock, keep up with new developments and ensure we are providing the best possible service for our audience. The event allows staff across the whole of the division to come together to debate and discuss industry and editorial developments – including hearing from outside perspectives.
They also say Damian ain’t getting paid.
PANIC! Surely not?
Not at all. Maximum use of resources. One hours free indoctrination of BBC trumps half a million quid worth of posters any day. How can a few posters compete with suitably nuanced ‘news’ being beamed into folks houses 24/7 from the good ol’ ‘impartial’ BBC.
It doesn’t matter how little money Labour have – they’ve got hundreds of millions of pounds of free propaganda every year from the BBC.
if the BBC said the sun went round the earth I would believe it. But I am very gullible and also insane.
No, the sun orbits the mammary system.All data is received from the Bubble telescope, hence the term ‘bubble-head’.
We’d tell you our source but that would mean evidence and proof

watches that sail over their heads
The BBC has admitted coverage of the launch of U2 album No Line On The Horizon last February, went too far – giving “undue prominence” to the band.
Critics said the BBC had given U2 “the sort of publicity money can’t buy”.
The corporation acknowledged that radio coverage of the event, which included a rooftop concert at Broadcasting House, breached BBC editorial guidelines.

that was down to McBride and Robinson was it?
they really are dumbing down their political coverage
Bonno is still a lob cock
Hey OH, tell us more about those Joooooooooos
Bye bye Beeb if this is how they want to play it.
I’ll watch out for Dave’s U-Turn appearing in the Manifesto since he’s aready said the BBC is safe with him and he called it a “national treasure”
When not being a snivelling cheap rate Goebbels for a bungling and not long for this world Labour administion…
I enjoy collecting Nazi memorabilia and slamming my bijou ballsack in the fridge door.
Brown’s a cun’t and I’ve never voted for Labour in my life you retard
go back to interfering with small dogs you dripping little toryboy weed
you’re woefully out of your depth
National Treasures should be buried, shouldn’t they?
The BBC is a national treasure – not the bastards who currently inhabit it. Cameron hasn’t committed to privatisation of the BBC – yet – but that doesn’t preclude him demanding the resignation of the entire Board in due course.
If want to make a stand against Pravda, then rather than blog about it, do what the New Zealanders did – they forgot their sheep for a while, stopped paying the telly tax en masse and soon the government scrapped it.
You can stop paying it today and there’s not a thing they can do about it. Just google the sites and see how.
I get very upset and very angry.
I need help relating properly to other decent folk.
Are they interviewing for a new presenter for Jackanory?
Or, as it will be rebranded if he gets the job, “Jack-a-f**kin’-ory you c**ts”
McBride could be the producer with Peter Capaldi doing it ‘in character’ as Malcolm ‘Bala-fuckin-morey’ Tucker..
Has McBride failed to pass his CRB for the school he was working at & now has to spread his ‘talents’ elsewhere?
One more good reason not to pay the licence fee!
Is that why the report says the BBC Trust should be abolished?
Or trust in the BBC.
GUIDO!
SEND HIM A PIZZA FOR LUNCH!!!
With a little model cathedral on top.
Check out OH’s rant about the Joooooooooos.
You absolute Huhne.
I’m sure Nick Robinson would welcome all your questions and comments about why he invited a disgraced smearing scumbag to talk with him and his chums over at the BBC and what they chatted about.
So why not make his day go over and make a friendly post about McBride on his blog ?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/nickrobinson/
Or find him on twitter and give him a friendly tweet.
You didn’t realise that we’re supporting Gordon Brown?
Really?
BBC=New Labah=no surprise.
DAVE=Blue Labah=no surprise
Well that’s my troll shift over for today, I’m handing over to another lonely and spotty little twat. I’m off to spend my wages on a bag of chips and a copy of Razzle.
Well that’s my Dave rimming over for today, I’m off to find a poodle to interfere with then spend the day pleasuring to tramps and crackheads for spare change to buy a bottle of meths and then peer at butch men in the park while rustling and panting in the bushes.
I do like talking about sexual activity with dogs. A spot of trolling for Gordon, then a trip to the park.
Woof! Woof!
Yummy!

Those last 2 comments weren’t from Mr Nice-they were not “nice” enough”-Oh its you again Nanzi, copying my name again?-have you no other anti-nazi duties you could be performing up at the public lavs?
Is the BBC hellbent on destroying what is left of its reputation ?
If Call Me Dave has any balls (the jury is still out), he will privatise it within one year of taking office….
It needs to be broken up into little pieces before being sold off to ensure it has no weight any more. The small pieces should all be sold to different buyers with legislation ensuring there is no chance of it ever reconsolidating and wielding the power it abuses today in the service of the evil Labour party..
The jury is really, really NOT out
Cui
..and whilst we’re about it, there should be a question mark after bono.
Is he doing Blue Peter? “Here’s one I mailed earlier”
Fine work !! From the “You just could not make it up..” playbook…
I am SO looking forward to seeing Dolly Draper reading the One O’Clock News.
not reading it, writing it.
FFS what a way to spend the licence fee! Can you find out who instigated this from a FOI request?
So he was only on gardening leave in his caretaker’s job, was he?
No change of paymaster if he is ‘consulting’ for Al JaBeeBa!
Who is the odd man out why?
1. Lord Stevenson: former chairman, HBOS
2. Sir Fred Goodwin: former chief executive, RBS
3. Andy Hornby: former chief executive, HBOS
4. Sir Tom McKillop: former chairman, RBS
5. John McFall MP: chairman of Treasury Select Committee
6. Alastair Darling: Chancellor of the Exchequer
7. Gordon Brown: Prime Minister and former Chancellor
8. Sir Terry Wogan: presenter of Radio 2′s Breakfast Show
You’re probably thinking Terry Wogan…..
.and you are right . However the reason might surprise you. . . .
Terry Wogan is the only one out of this motley crew who actually holds any formal banking qualifications.
So is your point is that Sir Fred Goodwin should have a morning radio breakfast show alongside his old buddy Tom McKillop.
The Fred and Tom morning show on Radio 2
Whatever next, BBC to give licence fee to Labour party
They already do. Loads of lefty wankers at the BBC fund the Liebour party. Try playing spot the Tory at the BBC.
All those media luvvies who support and donate money to Labour are doing it with Licence fee money.
They have lots of spare money because they are grossly overpaid; they have to try and find some way of spending it.
Well there’s Andrew Neil, then there’s….. er….. er… I think that’s all the presenters that are known Tories in the BBC.
I think Andrew Neil’s allegiance is to the strength and benefits of the free market ,rather than an attachment to conservatism per se. Although a Unionist, I suspect he’s a bit of a republican, in so far as his beliefs are given expression, now that he’s a BBC presenter. And he is impartiality personified; he’ll give any politician a good going over. Compare with Naughtie, the adulterous Marr, and that banshee faced woman who shares Newsnight with Paxman.
But if Cameron post election avoids the opportunity of BBC reform then we might as well give up. Its not just the political bias, the senimentalisation of serious issues, the promoting of yoof, trash culture. The BBC is also scared stiff of annoying the mozzies; three times in the last two days the BBC has run the same story of the Tipton taleban jailbirds becoming, awkwardly, reconciled with one of the Guantanamo guards–once on the 6.00 pm news and on Newsnight on SUCCESSIVE NIGHTS. Can’t you just feel the lurve.
And the sight of Paxman treating that livelong freeloader on the public purse, Roy farting Hattersley with deference will rankle until judgement day.
Nick Robinson and McBride. I bet they have a fucking big jar of VASELINE to hand then.
Can Andrew Neil run down with his mike and do some impromptu interviews as the one voice of reason at the Beeb?
The Beeb should remember Machiavelli’s principle. Never harm your enemies in such a way that they can recover. Either be nice to them or crush them utterly. If the Beeb can’t bring about a Labour victory they would be wise to start sucking up to the Tories. As it is, they risk everything.
Just William,
Yes, indeed, but with NuLav support via the welfare and union vote they can hold up two fingers to anyone. And they will. Nobody voted for Florentine princelings.
and Machiavelli is so yesterday, don’t you think? Unless assassination is regarded as a tool of politics.
Dr Kelly?
And what’s wrong with that? I can think of a least eight political assassinations that would improve the state of the nation greatly.
What next ?? Ed Balls becomes a Tellytubbie ??
Tellytubbies make more sense.
COMMUNISTS!
SOCIALISTS!
TRAMPOLINISTS!
MARXISTS!
BICYCLISTS!
BAN THEM ALL AND GIVE OUR AIRWAVES TO THAT PATRIOTIC BRIT RUPERT!
If he’s patriotic it will be a nice change from the current chums
I take great pride in the fact that Nick Robinson regularly removes my posts from his Labour Information Conduit – or blog as we call them.
He hates questions about his expenses. And his cosiness with Labour. And the fact that he has openly admitted keeping information out of the public domain.
No surprise that the BBC is hiring McBride – the BBC propaganda is not working so they need a new attack dog strategy.
If this is true, we are into “Wossie” mark2
SO WHAT?
NEW LABOUR IS PRO-WAR AND PRO-TORTURE
GORDON BROWN IS PRO-WAR AND PRO-TORTURE
DAMIAN MCBRIDE IS PRO-WAR AND PRO-TORTURE
AND THE BBC IS PRO-WAR AND PRO-TORTURE
IT IS A GOOD FIT – GET WITH THE WAR PROGRAMME YOU PUSSIES
TORTURERS, WAR CRIMINALS AND WAR PROPAGANDISTS MUST STICK TOGETHER
OTHERWISE WE WILL END UP BEING HANGED LIKE SADDAM HUSSEIN
INNIT
hello again tat
A-UUURRKKHH!!! (squeetle) (sniff) TATTATTAT!!!! (ping!)
Cover up torture and cuddle up to very right wing US administarations.
Oh yes.
I never promised I would never return.
he never left
just posted under a few different aliases
Do you have any concrete evidence for that?
Perhaps they are pondering how to reply to this report.

Shouldn’t McBride be out gritting the school playground?
you’d lose count of the number of people in this Government who like playing with council gritters
Thats ma boy
He has been in the wilderness for months – how can he ‘debate and discuss industry and editorial developments’
Because he knows soooooo much!
And you thought he wouldn’t be involved in Labour’s Election Campaign…
Damien McBride is a very naughty boy and ought still to be sitting in a corner wearing a Dunces’ cap.
The trouble with the BBC is that it will have to be broken up *because* they’re so clearly biased. Reportage on the recent attempted coup was to the left of the Guardian, and actually resembled a Pravda in the way facts (especially in the days afterwards) simply went unreported. At the same time, they went on and on about Cameron’s incredibly trivial marriage tax allowance fuckup, whilst totally ignoring Labour’s completely fuck-witted “critique” of Tory spending plans.
And the BBC/Labourites will go all passive-aggressive — their stock reaction to anything and everything — when it happens. Whinging, treacherous little toerags.
” It’s important for people to have the space to take stock….”
They are going shoplifting?
Perhaps later when Damian’s in his cups they can sniff him and have a ‘Guess the Beer’ competition for a Marr show mug.
Guess the cheese, more like.
Carl….er…Jarlsberg?
It really is time this nest of overpaid biased vipers was sorted out once and for all. We are all compelled to pay for your cocooned lifestyle not just the minority of labour supporters!!! Dont forget that!!
It’s important for people to have the space to take stock, keep up with new developments and ensure we are providing the best possible service for our audience. The event allows staff across the whole of the division to come together to debate and discuss industry and editorial developments – including hearing from outside perspectives…
From a fucking school janitor?
A school janitor who doesn’t work Thursday mornings.
Somebody needs to ask if he called in ‘sick’ or took a ‘holiday’ or if his contract allows for alternative employment without prior consent from line manager.

Guido: you ought to run that quote in the masthead from time to time, as a change from the tittle-tattle line. Same tease, just a different form of words – and far more true here than at Brown’s Berks & Chumps.
Robinson and McBride, that figures. Birds of a feather……….
Isn’t it term-time? Shouldn’t he be at work?
Fucking teachers – first sight of snow and they all fuck off.
He’s not a teacher – he’s the fucking janitor. No job too low for our Dame.
I’m not surprised.
Rats prefer the company of their own kind.
The taxpayer is still paying his wages regardless of where he works.
Don’t trust the bastards!
Oi!
So the BBC’s press office says the BBC listens to “outside perspectives”. This doesn’t seem to apply to critics of manmade global warming.
It does not apply to the EU being corrupt Bastards
Or to me. I’ll tell them a thing or two they won’t like hearing!
What’s the temperature in Australia, milord?
High. But then again it is there summer. Didn’t you do geography at school?
One would hope that Cameron on hearing about this has contacted the Director General and asked for a full briefing on how and why this discredited man who told lies about the conservative party is being used by the BBC. Also a dig at Robinson by suggesting this shows his bias!
In response to your update.
“They also say Damian ain’t getting paid.”
Define paid. I’m betting on a big lunch and a load of Chablis for starters.
He’ll have a job on with a shovel clearing snow after a light luncheon like that. Questions needed.
Interesting. The BBC are running scared of a Tory election victory, but if they want to appease the Conservatives, this is hardly the way to go about it.
The BBC must have a death wish!
They must believe in the final victory!
They already know they are safe in Dave’s hands. Pity we do not have a real opposition party with a chance of winning.

Isn’t she Adrian Chiles’ ex wife? Another socialist tosser!
So nice to see apostrophes correctly used
Any chance of a full stop?
Fuck off. It should be “Chiles’s”.
McBride ain’t getting paid by the BBC possibly. But he’s never been a charity, has he?
I am not getting paid by the BEEB. They don’t do cash.
PS Give me a job.
Mcburgerturd suits the beeb…shits together such a pleasure
‘editorial developments – including hearing from outside perspectives.’
You guys are just so cynical – they are obviously planning a topical , indepth and hard hitting critique on comparable gritting techniques and wanted valuable input from someone with front line experience , step forward janitor mcbride.
This is so suicidally stupid, I can’t believe my fucking luck – drops everything to write polite but insistent letter to MP, requesting him to ensure matter is raised in house and asking for commitment to bbc reform.
I hope he at least got a taxi home. He appears to have a stalker.
“I have never had political relations with that broadcasting company”
So, presumably, the BBC did not understand the implications of having McBride make this kind of presentation. Bonkers.
no suprise that bunker brown’s dirty tricks maestro is back on the circuit.
“It’s important for people to have the space to take stock, keep up with new developments and ensure we are providing the best possible service for our audience.

Next week Sarah Palin.
Then me. They wouldn’t like that much.
I am not paying for the Brown Bullshitting Corporation. It’s pure filth!
The solution to the problem of the BBC is simple. Soon after the next Conservative government is elected, it should announce that the TV Licence tax is to be abolished. That would be electorally popular.
The BBC’s radio stations should be separated from its television stations, much as tele-communications were separated from the postal services at the BT privatization. They can be sold off individually, or merged in the case of Radio 1 & 2. It might be decided to keep a single radio station as a “public service” outlet, for serious news/arts/documentaries — a combination of Radio 3 & 4. This could also become the British arm of the World Service radio. It would be paid for by Government (i.e. the taxpayer), with a strict commitment to impartiality.
The BBC’s television channels should be sold off (1 & 2)or closed down (the rest). Ofcom or the Monopolies Commission should ensure a variety of ownership. A single Public Service channel might be started up, paid for by subscripion or sponsorship, linked to a television British World Service.
This would preserve what remains of the best of current BBC broadcasting, and dispose of the rest. As long as the BBC continues to be subsidised by the Licence Fee, it has a vested interest in promoting leftist, high-public spending
policies, and is thus incurably biased.
We’ve been rumbled.
Liebore is achieving millions in terms of media help- and not just from the Broon Broadcasting Club. All news events which get public attention are being marked by an appearance from the Mentalist or a minister acting as if they had orgainised something successful (gritting!), or showing fetching sympathy and life saving organisational skills (Haiti, Yemen defence).
Of course, all lies which could be deconstructed if anyone were allowed the time to comment- no one ever is given the broadcast time. Naturally,these Liebore figures hardly ever appear in a debate- nearly everything is presented as a truthful statement which doesn’t conceivably require questioning. The public is a becoming nicely habituated to this, and that is the idea.
The Tories don’t seem to understand the power of these simple tactics- Thatcher completely neglected the growing media/Liebore marriage. Surely we are reaching the final tipping point where either this matter is sorted out, or Liebore just becomes the only group which always controls the country because it has become the only official voice.
ITV is so shit I’m forced to make my own entertainment!

[...] Guido Fawkes then ran with an exclusive story about the BBC inviting Damien McBride to give a speech…. In the meantime, almost unnoticed, the BBC were amusing themselves by getting Anjem Choudary, no longer a member of the proscribed Islam4UK (one assumes) on to Daily Politics to talk to Andrew Neil. The Financial Times waded in with… The return of Damian McBride? and gave a platform for Eric Pickles to do the outraged slings and arrows bit and trot out the old impartiality trick…which I am sure he just does to wind up the liberals and Guardian readers. I have no idea, of course… “Impartiality must be at the heart of what the BBC does. This raises serious concerns. Did Mr McBride get paid, were his travel and other expenses paid, did he receive any gifts for attending this event? The BBC must come clean on all these issues.” [...]
McBride’s perspective being that of a disgusting liar.
I cannot begin to tell you how delighted I am to welcome this

a) piece of shit
b) demented psychopath
c) ginger tosser
into the bbc. I’m suggesting he gets a £million at least.
