Peter Rippon, he of ill-fated Newsnight blog fame, has finally been given a new job at the Beeb. Rippon will be in charge of developing the BBC’s online archive, hoping to make 80 years of Beeb history available to the public. There may be one person missing…

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
Ned Flanders – Clegg
Lisa Simpson – Natalie Bennett
Milhouse – Hilary Benn
Martin Prince – Andy Burnham
Edna Krabappel – Luciana Berger
Crazy Cat Lady – Glenda jackson
Comic book guy – John Prescott
Carl – Chucka
Lenny – Philip Hammond
Willie – Eric joyce
Poochie – Gordon Brown
Reverend Lovejoy – Tony Blair
Whose about that then?
With a handle like that, you could get a lot of friends quickly
A great deal more than one I suspect.
I’m officially not here.
We’re all unsackable. More telly tax, please.
Jobs for the boys. Fucking disgrace. Should have been sacked, but I guess keeping him keeps him quiet and saves the BBC more embarrassment.
Un fucking believable. The BBC is being sued, we are expected to pay the bill and the useless fuck ups stay on the payroll. This is a joke, surely!
I object to being called a c*kehead!
Why? Do you prefer Pepsi?
I used to have on my CV on my website that I am a Director of BBC (South) childrens programmes and a Director of the NSPCC southern region but I have removed references to both for obvious reasons. As you can see from the current CV that remains, I have never really done anything else other than politics except for being a fitter and turner in my early years. Not bad for someone with no education whatsoever, that is why I am grimly hanging on, I don’t want to be a waiter in George’s restaurant. Boaz.
‘There may be one person missing…’
And there’ll be f.uck all about Labour’s years of terror 1997 – 2010
And no photos of Harold Wilson smoking his pipe.
Who am I and why am I here?
Whats with. the questions
Just. Gimme another beer.
Sounds like “Paperclips Monitor” to me.
Saville and Glitter have already been DELETED from BBC history and Black people added to Victorian period dramas.
What about Chicken George? Did he not travel to England about that time and show off his cock-fighting skills to the landed gentry.
So is he archiving all the Top of the Pops and viewing the shots where the camera man is looking up the skirts of the girls while they are dancing to gary glitters number one? You betcha!
Is his new job title ‘Nonce Wiper General’ ?
“Nonce Wiper General”
You may want to rephrase that.
Nope, happy with that.
I was never informed about the Internet
‘he of ill-fated Newsnight blog fame’
- would be better –
‘infamous Newsnight blogger’
Given him the archiving job ? This is the professional equivalent of writing repeated lines to eternity. Ha. Hopefully he will not attempt any choice revisionism along the way. Who’s watching him ?
Edit the truth…it’s what we do, now cough up
Edit the truth is an improvement. I just thought you made everything up.
When we can’t be arsed, yes, but that doesn’t work so well when we’re trying to screw funding.
Thankyou for you enquiry, sincerely.
BBC archiving all there old stuff, so that there is a full record of them, after they get shut-down!
Or they’ll use it to say “please keep paying the licence fee, we used to be good don’t ya know!. Well, if we don’t put all the crappy bits!”
So, he’s going to tell us lies about the BBC at the licence payers’ expense.
Nice work.
EU Commissioner Leon Br!ttan had a lot of interesting stuff to say about EU Political Lobbying:
http://www.publicserviceeurope.com/article/3116/big-business-driving-eu-free-trade-deals-across-the-world
He was instrumental in setting up the ESF : European Services Forum.
Anti-semitic c’unt!
You are Guido Fawkes and I claim my 5 shekels!
Nope, not true, honest, not a word of it. Olly Garks, never ‘eard of him. Do you like my new aluminium window shutters?
BBC Archives = Minitru
Peter Rippon = Winston Smith’s Boss

One imagines that, in a packed schedule, one of his first jobs will be to ‘lose’ the Pollard Report, if it can even be found – The BBC and use, or sharing of information:
—
“Documents produced by Lord Patten were reviewed by the BBC Trust’s lawyer with redactions made on the grounds of legal professional privilege….
*
6. In particular, crucial information about the basic facts of the case was not
shared.
*
86. The principle of sharing full information must be embraced. We heard no
good reason for ‘Chinese Walls’.
*
109. Mr Entwistle says that while the accuracy of the blog was in his mind when he
asked Mr MacQuarrie to investigate, he was also concerned by a ‘general
sense I had that they didn’t seem to know what they had investigated and that
we couldn’t go on trying to defend an investigation about which there was such
an enormous difference of opinion’.
*
5.
Report shows that the level of chaos and confusion was even greater than
was apparent at the time.
*
78. Likewise, I am surprised that Ms Boaden does not appear to have taken a
more pro-active role. I acknowledge that she was not on the gold team set up
by Mr Entwistle on 11 October, but it was clear that a significant part of the
division she headed was in virtual meltdown, and I would have expected her
to have taken a more active role in resolving things.
[the lady in question, of course, now back in the comfy seat again]
*
161. He said his fellow Trust members were ‘very angry’ about the process of
correcting the blog which he described as ‘ham-fisted’ and continued, ‘it
does seem to me that there are reasonable grounds for assuming that people
knew the blog was dodgy a lot earlier and that we were left defending something that wasn’t true’.

What’s not to trust?
So little time, so much to shr…’archive’.
When the archive becomes available on a set of 5 DVD’s the cat may be out of the bag.
I don’t recall the BBC actually calling Lord McAlpine a ……………
Be curious to see if the archive does.
What do these arseholes have on the BBC? The BBC buys them off with dream pensions or keeps them on the payroll. They must have plenty of shit to throw at the BBC to ensure that they stay on the payroll or get a nice pay off.
“Three men from Birmingham are found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of a bomb plot which could have caused mass deaths”
And guess what? They’re all beardies.
Who’d have thunked it
They will probably be given lesser sentences than Chris Huhne. It’s a far more serious crime to try to avoid 3 points on one’s licence than plotting to blow up shopping centres and railway stations.
Sorry. I mean train stations.
Liberal Democrats?
Well I wonder where he will stick this one…
The 911 Truth Movement Goes to Court in the UK.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-911-truth-movement-goes-to-court-in-the-uk/5323188
On February 25, in the small town of Horsham in the UK, 3 hours of detailed 9/11 evidence is to be presented in a court of law where the BBC will be challenged over the inaccurate and biased manner in which it has portrayed the events and evidence of 9/11.
….as a nutter pleads not guilty to failing to pay his TV licence fee.
The Great Powers will tremble
PS will they be giving out free foil helmets at the door?
Siberia, Power Station. Big smile on Paxo’s face.
Don’t tell me. They have destroyed all the tapes that feature the RT. Hon. and Noble Lady!
And how much are we paying for a job a trained chimp could do?
Does this mean he is paid to spend days watching old programmes?
And why is this different from the Online people and their blessed and unadvertised leaders £250k for sticking all the crap on line while they wait for the rerturn of Labour to power so the champagne can flow again?
Orwell implied that Big Brother would do what Purnell and Ripon are doing; rewriting the past to suit their present.
We have always been at war with Eastasia…
It s a pensionhood jobbie.
In other words demotion to a glorified filing clerk until he hits sixty and qualifies for a full trimmings public sector pension —- based on his best five year earning period .
Another. Great and. Good sorted.
When did he change his name to “Rippoff”?
I thought the BBC had already wiped the best of its programmes like Pete ‘n’ Dud. Who buys box sets of “My Family”?
So the geniuses that be put Nicholson in charge of a job he has not a care about and Rippon in charge of a job he is least qualified for.
One presided over a culture of utter incompetence and the other is just incompetent.
What can possibly go wrong?
“…hoping to make 80 years of BEEB history available to the public”, nope. Its a political job; the BBC is selectively removing stories from its archive and re-writing others to put a different slant on recent history. Anything that shows Labour in a bad light will be deleted or re-written.
I thought Private Eye was always nicking stuff off you?
Ideally place for a Stalinlite reappraisal of names and history…….
