Newsnight spent lots of time last night on Copenhagen, featuring its 'Self-Regarding Man' and Ed Miliband too (I.C. of 0 for Gavin Esler) -what a treat!
*
The economic basket-case that is Greece was also discussed, with Gavin agreeing with Greece's socialist finance minister George Papaconstantinou that being in the Eurozone is no bad thing for a country.

Then at 37.22 came the news of the latest rise in unemployment - up by 21,000 between August and October. This important news was imparted in just 10 seconds then the programme moved on to the question of 'What is a Jew?' In the days of Conservative government, all rises in unemployment were the focus of frenzied reporting at the BBC. Not so in these days of Labour government. Bad news for Labour is buried.

The economic news is so bad that the bbc is running out of landfill. It is also trying to sanitize the bad economic news but it is proving so difficult that they have had to resort to half truths to avoid telling true lies.
ReplyDeleteSo no mention of Spain being credit downgraded, only about Greece and sometimes Ireland.
Notice also how the bbc allow Zanulabor to harp on about the downturn of the 1990's without correcting them or mentioning the very serious mid 70's and the winter of discontent.
Cameron needs to get his act together to stop the bbc in its tracks.
That's very true. In fact, I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I didn’t even know about Spain - which, given the amount of news coverage I listen to, shows the extent of the Beeb’s silence on the subject (and perhaps my tunnel vision!) And you’re also right that the recessions of the early 80s and 90s are constantly referred to by Labour types - and by BBC types - but the ignominy of Britain having to go cap in hand to the IMF in the late 70s is ignored.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that Gordon the Moron thinks that Spain is a member of the G20 which it isn't !
ReplyDeleteYes, Craig, and the problem is that younger people who didn't live through these earlier times would get a totally distorted version of reality from the BBC which is twisted to suit its Marxist agenda.
