Watch Patten Crack Up Over Mark Thompson
Chris Patten’s extraordinary response to Miles Goslett’s question over Mark Thompson’s integrity shows a man on the verge of cracking under the pressure. Why did Thompson say he had never heard any allegations against Jimmy Savile if he signed off the crucial Sunday Times letter threatening legal action for the suggestion he did? And why wouldn’t Patten be drawn on the subject? The Pollard Report found that “it is clear that Mr Thompson did approve the sending of the letter”, putting the New York Times CEO, and his massive BBC pension, in an awkward position to say the least. The contempt Patten clearly holds for the hack who blew the whole story open is very telling…
Lord Pattern of Jobsworth must have 13 Christmas Parties to attend, no wonder he is cracking up or splitting his sides.
The BBC’s treatment of the science of AGW is much more serious than the Savile thingy and they know it.
Yes , you could be forgiven for thinking they had an agenda. Perhaps having so much of the BBC pension fund invested in “Green” stocks had something to do with. Or maybe just another example of the idiot left trying to “smash capitalism”.
The damage that has been done is enormous and so far no one has bothered to do real investigation except from only one retired gentleman who was curious about who the 28 climate experts giving advice were.
What a joke these venerable institutions are becoming under apparatchiks like Patten.
Watch the useless windmills chopping bats.

Comrade Patten is an excellent Cadre and knows how we work under Developed Socialism. Any more of this and we will have to promote him to a senior sinecure in EUSSR. The stability of Cadres is everything, do think all this shit happens by magic? Only the tireless efforts of people like Comrade Patten keep the quangos, wank tanks, lobby sharks, non-exec ‘no one told me’ directorships, consultancy at (£4k a day) etc.. going.

Communist Purpose Patten, will protect Communist Purpose comrade Thompson, at all times.
Any who dare question these pricks are automatically deemed insufferable and not worthy of such giants valuable time.
After all, comrade Patten has a plane to Washington to catch and very important people to talk with.
Insolent journalist’s and their ilk, who dare ask relevant questions, are merely irritating insects and should be dealt with accordingly.
HE has already occupied an executive sinecure in th. eussr
He was a fucking vice president for god s sake
Where d you think he. Llearnt to whirl like a dervish at not answering questiions …
Patten is also a governor of St Benedict’s School which, for the past few years, seems to have been a greater source of child abuse revelations than Savile.
What did the great Pango Patten do to help the many child abuse victims from this school during his governorship?
Patten is a greedy, toady, jobsworth. Shame on him.

The good news is that coal is making a massive energy generation comeback especially in China where the lads don’t give a toss about global melting/freezing/erupting bollox, followed by Germany which now realises windpower is fantasy land.
Time to drop the ‘green’ thing and get as many chavs down the mines as possible. What fool thought windmills could provide power for an industrial nation?
“What fool thought windmills”
I don’t think any of those who voted for the Climate Change Act, except for a fringe group of flat earth, let’s go back to the pre-industrial era nutters, thought it was a good idea.
Most did not have the faintest idea what was actually involved and what the loony greens were really on about.
The rest just saw the money the likes of Gore were coining in and slipped into the inviting green tide, hoping to make their fortunes.
Do be careful – after all … Chris Huhne (By Jan 14th) might get all Margaret Moran style mentally fcuked up in his head; if he hears that all this AGW CC stuff has been a big fat lie ….
What’s the bets he tries some new delaying tactic very shortly?
I am also using millions of tonnes of coal to make up for my transition from nuclear.
This could be my worst decision ever.
“much of the BBC pension fund invested in “Green” stocks”
This is difficult to determine. Their top 100 investments are in bog standard pensiony type investments like Shell, Apple, tobacco firms, etc. But there is a disclaimer at the bottom that says the list excludes pooled funds.
What is certain the BBC pension fund is a member (and at one time and possibly still the BBC head of pensions was the director) of the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change. This group lobbies governments and international bodies for governments to effectively fix investment markets in the favour of green investments. They want taxpayer guaranteed returns on the eco-shit they *would like* to invest in.
Presumably, then, the fact that Deutsche Bank’s Frankfurt HQ was raided a few days ago by 500 German authorities re allegations of carbon trading fraud must be causing them a few sleepless nights?
And don’t forget – all three party’s have been in it together trying to sell us all a myth for many years now.
Come on all – Patten did a fine job in Hong Kong. But then he came back to live in the UK, and has had to. “oh gawd”. I am sure he said them, to cope with the brit tory party again.
Anyway, a vid for Patten, and I know he will like this, middle ground of no mans land, playing footie – SO I like the bloke.
And no Patten, don’t friend me – that is as far it goes, boyo. Go and suck some other labourite cock.
song for patten, he did a fine job there,
The plural of ‘party’ is ‘parties’. I blame the socialists who’ve been in charge of ejukashen for the last few decades.

This is my last request to you lot to get off my back(Mr Epicure excepted).
We at the BBC are loyal to each other being members of the “Keep snouts in the trough” club and there is no way I am going to dish Thompson since he put me here – £110K pa 3 mornings a week and a pension. Why not show he some support.
That apart I am completely out of my depth never having had a proper job having joined politics staright from university. I collect an MP’s pension, HK Govt pension and one from the EU not to mention BBC annuity. I think I have done well and am widely regarded as being a the top man in the gravy train stake.
Must rush – meeting Mr Epicure at Bentley’s for oysters and champers followed by grilled turbot was down with Grand Cru Chablis
I am just as good as you on quangos’, but more hidden and definately better looking.
It just cracks me up – like cracks in a nuc power station.
Windmills are just so more more reliable and clearly have helped us over the drought and the threat of drought – as well as keeping fellow jobsworths busy preparing bullshitty bits of paper.

If there is one thing the pope taught me it’s that any allegations of child abuse should be dealt with ‘in house’ and not reported to the Police.
What has always puzzled me, is why the Patten’s or Savile’s of this world, are never investigated and their many, many despicable attributes, never brought to wider public attention? Well until after their demise, that is.
The right friends in the right places, no secret if you’re in the know. We rule you for our benefit it really is that simple.
What has wife-beating got to do with it?

th elite now wants to communicate with the plebs in writing, and writing only. leveson did the same. so they make judgements but do not wish ro be questioned on it. why? because they are perfect.

He has not reasoned anything. Head in sand. Report done. Go on as usual. Why think.
It completely goes over his head that actually what we all want is a strong leader to emerge that can take a stand for the future safety of our children. All he is saying is cover ups will be rewarded by payoffs.
Just do something Mr. Pattern. Anything, except defend yourself. Imagine for once that Chris pattern is not important and is the servant and defender of the public. Just go into battle and place you life, as you know it, on the line.
all we want is a strong leader….
.
all we want is a wise leader. is there a leader out there who wants to be open. it,s simply not possible. so we have to rely on the press. we have to rely on the net. is it wise to censor them? they are not perfect, but then better to know something then nowt… the psychological wellbeing of the masses depend on it.
What we want is wise advisers, and strong leaders. We obviously have neither. All we have is the protected.
If we could spend more time fighting progress than fighting our leaders it would help.
strong leaders like wars.
somewhere it is said that the chinese are not up for it… so let,s see which way the world tips.
It is just the impossible question reply.
It means the Patten’s first knee jerk response was that the options given did not include the one that he would do. The ones given were; support him, condemn him or question him. Patten obviously wanted another and that is probably to ignore the issue.
In his view it probably is a done deal that is pointless to go after. There are always others that are better placed to take action. Standard institution “greater good” thinking.
However, Patten’s answer shows contempt for the public questions and he even targeted the questioner twice. This is a clear demonstration of the BBC attitude to anyone questioning their authority. First ignore all known problems (they are for someone else to deal with) and always attack the messenger by implying behaviour or accusing them. Why have these pointless trustees that do not hold the institution to account. As a trustee, the benefit is held for the public, not themselves.
.
it is all about witholding information.
public organisations should have nothing to hide, from the public….at all levels and not just at the trustee level. BBC culture is about extreme secrecy. they don,t share info within the organisation. divide and rule and communist cells come to mind.
Auntie – has withheld info pertaining to the marxist accountant firm Mazars being indicted for fraud … and guesssss what – were the the wigs involved marxist leaning mongs too and guess what – didn’t it all happen during the reign (marxist) terror [1997 -2010] when not a copper [were they politicised?] acted according to the law?
a wonder is …marx=communism=failure of communism.
how come marxist organisations exist?
mazars is the 9th largest accountacy firm by fee income…so their website states. zar or czar?
the world is mysterious.

Not so quiet now as McKeever is blaming the structure of the Confederation in 43 sub sectors who have autonomy and he cannot control them.
So he should change the structure and policies etc etc and not hide behind a structure as the BBC are trying to do.
As for Patten he should be got rid of straight away together with Helen Boaden.

This morning’s YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 30%, LAB 43%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 10%. It isn’t the biggest Labour lead YouGov have shown this month, but (leaving aside a rather outlandish 29% back in April) it matches the lowest Conservative score this Parliament. UKIP, meanwhile, remain in double figures on 10%.
And you’d trust a Yougov poll ….. [I used to be one of their pollsters for about 4 years - I know how they weight & slant their polls] do me a favour!

The BBC make the management of the British army at the battle of the Somme look brilliant.
Do you know anything about the Great War? Probably not.
Yes
Well don’t repeat all the old tired cliches then. British generals in the Great War: some very good, some poor, most reasonably competent – same as WW2, same as today.
.
there is a bit of the army about the BBC, it,s leader is called both a director and a general. fake stuff needs to be directed….and the generals it seems are rather incompetent. only a few days ago greg dyke was implying that reports are not even needed……they are all a waste of money.
.
both the army and bbc have pledged loyalty to the queen. wasted lives in fake wars and wasted lives in fake info wars. now the queen wants regulators to have teeth. and the press censorship regulator which will pledge its loyalty to the queen is meant to have it. with all this fakeness around is the BoE gold for real?
All that glisters may not be ours, and could be tungsten.
why is there trouble at the organisations setup by royal charter and or run by loyalty to the crown,
…bbc…..army…
globalists would say that is fine….forget state banks…they are no good….lets put the whole lot into the world bank.
so we have divine folks running distant organisations for whom we are helplessly meant to slog away for,

Chris Patten, some weeks ago defended the pay off saying that legal advice suggested that it would be cheaper than a constructive dismissal.
Following much criticism, the BBC is today taking legal advice regarding drawing back some of the payment.
Draw your own conclusions.
Patten is an arsewipe, and not a fit and proper person, is my conclusion.
it seems that freedom of the press is what matters … so BBC is a non entity except we pay for it … but then we pay for the armed forces and the defence budget too and that is a waste, do we not have enough nuclear weapons as it is?
.
underlying is a one world state agenda.
the world of control, manipulation and ill health across the globe. standardised.
you forgot profit.
one world state is one world ownership… we are travelling back in time… in terms of regional ownership… the agenda of today seems to be to go beyond the past …. centralise the whole lot. one world one state.
.
and yes ownership of global assets and what the assets produce, profit. who are the global owners, the oligarchs and who do they bow down to….both the monarch and the new order. It may be that china is not playing ball or even for that matter russia. but then there is always syria to get the keep em busy ball rolling.

The truly depressing thing is, absolutely nothing will change. The BBC will have inquiry after enquiry until it all goes away. Its been said many times before, but if I don’t like what Murdoch puts out I just don’t buy it so why should I pay for the left wing sanctimonious crap the BBC and their pedo presenters vomit forth each day? Then Aussies got rid of their parasitic state broadcaster by refusing to pay. Sounds like a fine idea but it would take a mass effort.
Well said Stu,the BBC is long past its sell by date a monolithic organisation thats been out of control for decades,a pity Thather didnt last another ten years she would have got rid.
And Binns, Joplings and T J Hughes might still be open!
The leading question was a tactical error, he would have been better challenging Patten to reconcile the statement of Mr Thompson with an undisputed fact from the report.
In what way was the question leading? The Pollard review was commissioned by the BBC and Patten has made clear they accept entirely. Miles Goslett quoted factually from it and then added the appropriate part of Mark Thompson’s statement, with which Patten would have been completely familiar.
Where is the embedded presupposition which is the hallmark of a leading question? I agree he would have been more sensible to ask Patten to reconcile those conflicting statements but the question is not of a Have you stopped beating your wife type as claimed by Patten.
He was given 3 options. That is what he objected to.
Filing report in the bin, and getting the next payout, was not one of the options.
Agree. Providing the available answers that Patten may give is a presupposition. I was too focussed on the factual part of the question to have noticed that. Thanks.
Here’s a little thing to mull over:
Leveson delivered a report. Pollard delivered a report.
Neither of them are published as “A Ruling” or “A Judgment” in law … ?
Legal trickery anybody?
That is because they are a report, more akin to Counsel’s Advice or Legal Opinion, I would suggest. They arise because some person or body had requested them rather than any action in law. Nobody is bound by what they say until a law is drawn up by parliament or other authority which may include all or part of the recommendations.
leveson saw his report as a judgement and framed it so when he stated that he is the judge and the judge is not be questioned and hence he took no questions on his report.
There are still to many ‘smoke ‘n mirrors’ issues surrounding the whole Leveson whitewash – and as for the Common Perps well what is it about a government this government or the last governmnet when they proclaim to be whiter than white / open and transparent etc etc …
I’m just calling them all shysters, liars, conmen, sub-intellectuals … You know – Politicians. As for the Westminster press pedo pack well … there’s another subject.
Where is everyone? I though Guido said it was today, 12 noon at The Lyceum pub on the Strand. The drinks are on me for the first 3 hours, courtesy of Auntie!

Look here Coker I never touched your jam. It was pretty rotten jam anyway. Haven’t got any more have you?
Remarkable that Patten can keep parroting that he has no reason to disbelieve Thompson’s version of events, when he has just been provided with the evidence for doing exactly that.
This rules out the ‘honourable but bumbling old duffer’ or ‘incipient dementia’ excuses and points more towards the ‘deliberate misinformation’ ploy.
Hey leave him alone! If that feker resigns, it’ll cost us millions!
Chris Patten really is a piece of work. It was an appalling decision of Cameron’s to appoint him to the Trust – as many of us said at the time.
Cancell your TV license today. The World Ends tomorrow. So they won’t need the dosh.
Why does he so remind me of Jabba the Hutt
Is Patten nut the wosrt example of his kind in Britain. There are many contender but he seems to be proving what a complete arse he is.
We need the windmills if only to keep afloat
the BBC is full of wankers
Big payouts for those leaving…….patten’s turn next….get it!
Fatty must go and the rest of the BBC ‘trustees’. Root and branch!
