I know that I'm far from alone in having noticed that the BBC has a bit of a soft spot for poor never-elected-to-anything, completely-out-of-her-depth Cathy 'Go Home' Ashton.
*
The BBC's Europe editor Gavin Hewitt presented a short report on the continued 'sniping' (yes, he used that word again) against Baroness Ashton, the EUseless foreign minister, on this morning's Today programme.

The only direct critic was "Tory MEP Charles Tannock" - not that we heard any actual criticisms from him in the very short extract featured. Indeed, in the sporting spirit I expect from Mr Tannock (a fine Eurosceptic Tory), he said he still wished her the best of British luck, and added "she may surprise us all, and I hope she does", clearly said more in hope than expectation.
*
That, however, was all the pretext someone at the Today website needed to yank Mr Tannock's words out of context and headline the piece
*
**** ***Ashton 'may surprise us all'

Have they no shame?

ReplyDeleteShe is one dim Doris.
They're talking about giving the Soviet stooge her own aircraft to jet about the world in.
To add 'gravitas' to her role, as one euroleech put it.
