Originally posted by Forest Hillbilly Really bewilders me, but it shouldn't.

Mr Sharp's appointment (by Boris Johnson) is under review following claims he helped Mr Johnson secure a loan before getting his job." (BBC, 29.2.23) This was pushed off the front pages earlier by,.."Rishi Sunak isn't wearing a seatbelt" Edited by Forest Hillbilly (29 Jan 2023 4.08pm) It shouldn't be I assume most of us would agree with that. However I read an article the other I can't remember where but its main point was Labour was just as bad. It listed a whole bunch of Labour party members / supporters who were appointed by the Blair / Brown government to senior positions in the BBC organisation. What's sauce for the goose...

it's kind of missing the point i was trying to make. In that some of these high-placed appointments are political, and designed to keep close control on media outlets. I have no allegiance to a party, because that plays into the hands of those who are in control. The elites. Politics is an established method for controlling the masses. And the BBC is part of that. I disengage, I turn the page.

It's easy after the event - everyone hears the original but no one hears the apology. BBC should be made to put it out on social media, on the front page of their website and more - every single time they have to apologise. We pay their wages - defund the BBC!!!!!!!!!!!!

The beeb doesn't do itself any favours does it? We won't be getting 'Autumnwatch' to 'save money', viewers are howling, however we will be paying 100s of thousands for people to shuffle playlists. And Lineker Shearer Murphy etc. who repeat the same tired old cliches week after week. 'He will be disappointed with that'. wow brilliant. To think I will not be watching Jane Hill is a fate worse than death. I preferred her to our late Queen.

a protest of angry people at the offices of RTE , in Ireland. There is the same flavour of anger here as in the UK.....the national broadcaster has gone so Woke that it is unrecognisable. Plus all the paranoid bullsh1t around Covid. RTE have gone so far to the Atheist Multiculti Progressive Feminist LGBT BLM Climate-bore Left ....that they make the BBC look like Oswald Moseley.

Reporting on Sturgeon resigning has already stopped. No digging into anything bad that she might have done, or about her dreadful legacy. A lowly Tory MP who started in the Commons would get more space than she is. Hmmmmm

A lowly Tory MP who started in the Commons would get more space than she is. Hmmmmm I am of the opinion that an entire swath of our professional institutional middle class are looking at what happened to her and maybe having second thoughts about just how important 'trans-rights' are, especially now when they see one of the leading proponents of it having their careers ended by choosing that particular hill to make a stand on. Suspect you might see a great deal of rowing back on this issue now. But more fading away, all talk of it dismissed as nothing more than hysteria, because nobody likes to admit they were wrong, especially that cadre of parasites whose entire sense of self-belief is based on how they know best.
