TOO POSH FOR SANCHIA

*
Another day, another shocking lapse of impartiality by Sanchia Berg (the Nixon=Cameron one!) http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8610000/8610804.stm

Talking to 'working class youths' about the Tories' planned national citizen service, Sanchia made my false teeth fly from my mouth in amazement when she asked Elroy Palmer, a community worker, this question: "It would come in if David Cameron won the election, if the Conservatives were in power, and then it's going to be somebody, you know, from an extremely privileged background, whose own community service was volunteering when he was at Eton to help old people in Windsor. Do you think that will put people off, or do you think they will just focus on the idea and what it will mean for them?"

I don't swear on this blog but I think an acronym is in order: WTF!!!!!

TRICKY DAVIE

David Cameron's phrase 'the great ignored' reminds the BBC's Sanchia Berg of the phrase 'the silent majority', as used by every Beeboid's least favourite American president (after George W. Bush of course) Richard Nixon. "Even the language echoes", she said, before playing clips of both Nixon and Cameron. Surely the intent behind this wasn't merely to subliminally suggest Richard Nixon=evil, corrupt president, therefore David Cameron=nudge, nudge?wink,wink?
*
"Could 'the great ignored' work here?" Sanchia wondered. Who did she ask? Pollster and Labour Party supporter Peter Kellner (Baroness Ashton's husband). He didn't think so.
*
Sanchia then went to Folkstone. The vox-pops there were two in favour, two against, so she gave the last word to Mr Kellner, who said it might work after all if Cameron could convince voters he was "genuine".
