Left and Right Unite Against McBride’s BBC Return

Damian McPoisonDecent Labour supporters have been quick to condemn the BBC giving a platform to McBride. “It’s nauseating and woefully inappropriate” said Alex Smith editor of LabourList. “It’s not just the Tories who are feeling discomfort about the supposed return of McBride” added Jessica Asato director of Labour campaign group Progress. It would be unwise for Gordon Brown to seek his counsel again…” says Left Foot Forward’s Will Straw. Perhaps most damning, PR Week‘s left leaning David Singleton used Twitter to compare Damian McBride to a convicted criminal. Ouch!

Guido even had calls from people within the BBC who were none too impressed that their organisation had brought him back into the limelight.  None on the left managed to articulate the anger felt by many licence fee payers today as well as Nadine does “The BBC invite McBride, a self confessed fantasist and liar, standards that could hardly stagger from a gutter, to speak at a conference?” Quite.

          I wouldn’t want to lose the BBC as a British institution.And I wouldn’t mind paying the licence fee.But its so obviously partisan , its simply not on especially when it receives £3.5 Billion of public funding.

    Definitely need to phone the headmaster of his school and see if this was an authoried leave of absense or did he pull a ‘sickie’.

    He might still be on probation (in employment terms) so can be fired without cause pretty much.

    Or is this just another one of those KGB holding positions that Labour seems able to engineer in the education field. Like paying the Maximum Imbecile to be a history lecturer – at a technical college.

    Imagine what the lecture load would look like for a history teacher – at a technical college. Plumbers, electricians, all on day release from their jobs and they’re going to be studying history are they?

    “The BBC invite McBride, a self confessed fantasist and liar, standards that could hardly stagger from a gutter, to speak at a conference?”

    Quite right. They should continue to invite fantasists and liars only if they are in denial.

    • 123
      Engineer says:

      I take it from your second sentence that you consider that the BBC are in denial that McBride is a fantasist and liar, and in their own minds, this justifies their invite.

      I disagree. I’m forced to pay for the BBC’s output, and consequently expect it to maintain standards of integrity, political balance and impartiality. It fails. Big time.

      Given that he is a fantasist and liar, what does McBride have to contribute constructively to any debate on political activity except how to smear and bully people? Why would that be regarded as useful to BBC personnel? We know from Guido’s post that even people within the BBC regard this invitation with disquiet and distaste.

    Is there really such a thing as a decent Labour supporter. A Labour supporter is one who, if not supporting a leader, at least tolerated a leader who knowingly took us into an illegal war, a Leader who took bribes from F1. Indeed, a whole litany of lies deceit and wrongdoing.

    The current leader is clearly bonkers, but aside from that, was also caught out in a lie with regard to the Eccleston bung. Likewise he conspired to get us into an illegal war.

    “Decent people” would have nothing to do with such scum bags.

    In fact, could a supporter of any of the main parties be called “decent”, after all, it was MP’s from all the main parties and a dodgy speaker who conspired together to rob the public purse. Even those MP’s not guilty of theft must have known it was going on and kept quiet.

            Are you suggesting they are “decent”? How so then, that they must have been at least compliant if not complacent in the face of widespread corruption. Which brings me back to my point, if they were so jolly “decent” they would have resigned years ago and stood, if they felt they must, as independents.

            The last twelve years reflects credit on no one, not on potilicians of any pursuasion, not on supporters, and no, Tory sleaze which preceded this government, is no excuse for the suppurating sore that is Westminster.

    Damien McBride has his fans and the critics have their favourite work. I’m sure people have their reasons. It can be frustrating dealing with a mountain of a reputation like this, and easy to drown in the lake of argument, but to anyone of a Daoist, Buddhist, and Stoic persuasion, it’s all stuff and nonsense.

    Mountains rise and fall, lakes emerge and disappear. Against this changing landscape it is better the sage remain alert and relaxed. Overcoming the conditioning that tugs us left and right with dreams and fears is difficult, but a mindful attitude can overcome this, and assist better vision and creativity.

    It’s the same with AAA games versus restricted budgets, as it is with the highs of excitement versus the lows of depression. These things may all appear different but underneath they’re all the same. Brushing this confusion aside may help develop a more simple, clear, and powerful perspective. Persistence helps.

    Just to let you know, we’ve just issued the following statement:

    “Yeah like whateva. Who gives a fuck? Damian was giving us our orders on exactly how we’re to report the General Election. Not that we needed telling, but whatever.
    Damian has reminded us that we have to boost any Labour momentum as much as possible and always be tacitly or overtly disparaging about the Fucking Tories* and endeavour to kill any momentum they get immediately.
    At the points in the campaign even our fucking bullshit won’t be able to disguise the fact that it is patently obvious to everybody that Labour are a totally malign crock of shit. At these points we’ll switch to giving the LibDems a bit of a boost.

    God bless Gordon.

      Crapletsky is right in the Bankers successfully lobbied the State to Regulate them protection from new start-ups.

      The thread is also right in that a Credit boom was deliberately created in order to create a wave of taxation from the consumption this caused. I just hope it was ignorance of debt (it should only be used for investment) that motivated them to do this as credit for consumption will gradually kill the economy through debt servicing costs.

    Have just seen the most blatant piece of anti Conservative broadcasting ever on The One Show. The subject was the millionaires toffs in the Tory party and how they will not be able to understand the downtrodden poor people of Britain. As usual of course there were a few anti Eton snide remarks by the nasty McGuire thrown in for good measure.

    The BBC have now thrown any semblance of even handed reporting so far out of the window that it is now just a distant memory. The sneering is so out in the open against the Conservatives as to be on the edge of criminal. Never mind the “playing fields of Eton” jibes by Brown it won’t be long before the BBC are running articles on Tories eating babies.

    This government and now the BBC has sunk so low I absolutely despair for the future of this country if Cameron doesn’t pull it off this year. Although to be honest he has to up his game both in The House and in the country. He has fallen into the trap of name calling and jeering about boom and bust and it’s a bit boring now.

    He has just got to be above it and be more statesman like, we do not want a smart arse debater making clever personal remarks about the great gloomy one, we want to see the makings of a great and strong leader with sound ideas who can bring the country together and get us out of this horrible economic and socialist mess.

      My sentiments entirely.

      Why did Cameron launch PMQs with a silly question about ‘How is Gordon going to change his ways’, which created the opportunity for an equally trivial response.

      The first question should have been along the lines of, ‘ What is your outline plan to get UK PLC out of our current horrendous mess.

      Even if the answer had been rubbish, which is most likely, at least Dave would be seen to be asking the questions that matter. Trouble is I don’t think Dave’s got a plan either.

          She’s not funny, she’s not eloquant, she’s not interesting. She’s just on QT because she’s a leftie.

            I bet she wouldn’t spout her trendy lefty bollocks in Tehran…they’d have her locked up and in a burka in an instant…fucking BBC …why do they inflict these no marks on us

          • Laugh? I nearly paid the licence fee says:

            Because all those mugs are happy to shell out £146.50 with no questions asked. There’s no accounting for the public’s stupidity.

          • 6Th Form Student Ch4l3s 3 H4rdwidg3 says:

            Her parents were booted out in 79 when the current regime took over. This no excuse for not being the slightest bit funny in any shape or form but at least she’s prettier than marcus Brigstock, that in itself not difficult.

        English Liberation Front says:

        One of the many foreigners Labour rely on to prop up their crumbling regime. The sort of newcomer to this country who lectures the English that they are not an indigenous people but come from a mongrel race blended from waves of immigration over the centuries so its OK for New Labour to deliberately subject them to mass immigration to destroy their ethnic identity and culture. After 31 years in this country she is given a public platform to express this. Indigenous English people whose DNA go back millenia are not or are accused of being racist Little Englanders when they try to speak out.

      Three corrupt professional politicians,a media whore and a bright young thing with humanitarian beliefs. The three stooges are relying on the British tradition of voting for what we know. Kelvin will spout self righteous bollocks anywhere,anytime for a fee,and the bright young thing will pout and pontificate in a thoroughly modern way.

      Spot the hoops of applause for any anti-Cameron comments from the Beeboid fascist audience. Pravda news and politics must be burned ASAP. Sickening.

      English Liberation Front says:

      QT. Hain answered every question with a party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party. The “lefty luvvie comedienne” also gave a party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party. She also did a nice rant against the Monarchy, no doubt preferring a commie politburo and a corrupt president stuffing themselves with power and money. Stupid cow.

      The audience was stuffed with Labour activists and at least two (both yoof knobs) were given the opportunity to spout pre-rehearsed party political anti-Cameron soundbites on behalf of the Labour Party: “Anything that delays Cameron coming to power is a good thing”. Knob. Knob. Knob.

      When Ken Clarke was talking sense about Labour’s 13 years in power and the widening gulf between rich and poor all Hain could do was bleat “But you opposed the minimum wage”. Tosser.

      The whole thing made me want to puke.

        Fucking Germans says:

        Let’s talk about the Monarchy. Her Majesty,we are told,cares about her subjects. Is that why she signed away our standing as a sovereign nation? Who do we owe our allegiance to now? Are we British Subjects,or EU citizens?
        Answers on a postcard,with the appropiate remuneration to Buck House.

          English Liberation Front says:

          No let’s talk about New Labour and the fucking socialist hegomony suffocating this country which is far worse. That is the government that signed away our sovereignty and Her Majesty could do nothing about it without instigating a massive constitutional crisis and being screamed at for opposing the will of the people which New Labour presumed to represent.

          Don’t blame the Monarchy for New Labour’s crimes.

          • Fucking Germans says:

            She went along with it. Guilty by association. Or is that the German way? Anything to avoid a scene. She may have the body of a weak and feeble woman,but she doesn’t have the Heart and Stomach of an Englishman.

          Where's Sid Vicious when you need him? says:

          Afraid Her Maj is at the top of the cabal ruining UK. As a part owner of the BOE and the Fed she has a vested interest in the EUSSR/NWO project.

          If she were a true sovereign, protecting her citizens, she would not have allowed Liebore to tear up the constitution and sign Lisbon (abolishing the Treason law in the process).

          This is what we’re up against!

          English Liberation Front says:

          Her Majesty is purely a cardboard, cutout figurehead and nothing more. If we had a real monarchy, Her Majesty the Queen would have sacked Gordon Brown and dissolved Parliament, given the sheer incompetence of her Government and the many and varied scandals which have beset it, including the expenses scandal.

          But the Queen is just a figurehead with no real power. That does not mean I want the monarchy replaced, since the prospect of an elected President from amongst the charlatans who masquerade as our political class, fills me with dread!

        Hain has always been a two faced slimeball since day one quite incapable of answering any question with a straight answer…has spent far too much time at the groin of the bunkerman broon. House of Lords next…. guaranteed no question.

    This reveals at least as much about the dirty, manipulative, scum-sucking, parasitic, statist BBC mandarins as does McBride. Birds of a feather and all that…

    The worst thing are the decent people working at the BBC having to endure a low-life like McBride under their nostrils for even one microsecond.
