Wow! I had to quote that lot for posterity. I can imagine the last paragraph being typed out whilst you were hitting vinegar strokes over a picture of Maggie...

Looking at Graham's hierarchy of disagreement you seem to have failed completely in this discussion by being abusive.

Very good cut and paste skills, but doesn't alter the point that you are bat st crazy. More silver foil hats required!

Do you really believe that all company directors are sociopaths?

Are the people who employ you sociopaths?

You come across as an ungrateful bd person.

Clearly, you are incapable of making your own way in life. You rely on others to provide you with the means to feed your family. Yet, you still feel hostility towards the people who pay all of your bills.

To cap it all, you accuse others of being sociopaths.

If you reply to this, then I think that you should accuse me of gross hypocrisy.

no I don't believe all company Directors are sociopaths just the powerfully buult be goatted ones with a shopping bag full of of red bull and frozen sauasages ...

PH and NP&E in particular are an echo chamber for a certain minority worldview and there seems to be a reluctance to admit this among many posters

No need to accuse you of hypocrisy, as i think suggesting that you have sought to personalise this discussion by making direct individual insults towards me

care to substantiate your accusations about other people paying my bills ... are you implying that i am a 'dole bludger' or are you just demonstrating the lack of basic economic knowledge that is common in this echo chamber ...

I wonder if there is a name for the illness that causes people to think that anyone who disagrees with them must be a mentally ill sociopath.

I suppose that "nutter" will do.

To answer your question about how I know that you are a nett recipient of benefits, I would direct you to my, previously posted, definition of a leftie.

There are two types os leftie.

The first believes that he should live at the expense of hard working taxpayers.

The second has a job where he depends on the votes of the first.

You don't come across as an elected representative.

Is this referring back to the BBC post? If so then most of it was spot on. If not then...as you were

Getting slagged off by the (in)tolerant (il)liberal left is par for the course on PH. What else is left when the ideology is a fail and the political incarnation a complete disaster?!

It sometimes gets a reply in kind but by no means always.

A libertarian approach, perhaps.

Beebster propping up Corbyn with tame question and sycophantic follow-up?

No, I don't believe it!

Perhaps this should go on the QT thread, one of the posters wrote:

"I see Rosie used to work for Mentorn Media. Is that the same Mentorn that makes the entirely impartial Question Time on BBC1?

Why yes, it is! Fancy that!"

Is anyone else who gets their news output from Radio 4 getting the slightest hint of an impression of the way the BBC thinks we should all vote in the referendum?

As I no longer partake of any BBC broadcasting, albeit with occasional website visits, do please surprise me as I couldn't guess the relevant BBC bias there.

Couldn't guess because it's bleedin' obvious anyway

You may surprise me though if my mysticmegging is wrong and they are pushing Out while urging repeal of the CCA

Ooh... I know the answer to this one. The BBC give you an impression of the way you should vote that corresponds exactly and only to your own bias. Every other news organisation have their own biases a little one way or the other depending on who's involved, but the BBC are super clever and impeccably fitted to the consumer's own bias at all times.

Historically, of course, membership of the EU was a right-wing cause celebre. The left were nervous of competition for jobs, among other things. So, if the BBC are suggesting we stay in, that must make them right-wing, no?

Yes, but it is also becoming quite clear that many on the left, or those who say they speak for the left, tell us that they like the EU because it is like a 'Big Lefty Organisation who can block the nasty Tories if they don't like any of their policies'

And yet our Eton-educated, Bullingdon Clubbing, Tory Prime Minister wants us to stay in. So maybe the BBC are simply supporting the government, true to their role as the national broadcaster?

Or maybe it's just another example of 'If it doesn't align with my views, it's bias.'

The BBC's role is supposed to be, to be impartial, not to "support the government".

Perhaps, I don't really know, as I don't watch/listen to BBC content very much at all. I shall have to take your word for it...

99% (and yes, that's just an estimate) of complaints on here surrounding the BBC concern left-wing bias. Except, it seems, when it comes to the oh-so-important (to people on the PH NP&E forum) subject of Europe. My point (and it has always been thus) concerns perceptions of bias.

The point about BBC bias isn't perception it's reality.

We are credited with spotting obvious editorial bias at The Guardian and the Daily Mail but suddenly with the BBC it's perception? If that's your point it's simply wrong, completely wrong, and whether it's an innocent claim or a dissembling smoke screen matters not a jot.

BBC top brass confessions, BBC long-term top presenter and news reader confessions, and more importantly BBC output, shows without doubt that it has a left-liberal bias. Evidence for all of the above and more rests in this thread and other similar threads.

This reflects the fact that the BBC is stuffed to the gunwales with lefties, run by lefties, used The Guardian to brief news readers and presenters on stories for God knows how long, and yet considers its world view as impartial in protestations of innocence.

That is of course the joke of the century in a broadcaster charged with being politically neutral when it's anything but. If the bias was any other way it would be as bad and it would still be wrong.

Your use of the word 'confessions' is telling.
