Listening this morning, and there was a piece where Colonel Tim Collins was being interviewed about the 'Military Covenant'.

He made a comment that it had been working well, until it was dismantled by 'Leader Blair'.

Cue Campbell butting in and saying, 'forget about past governments, what have the current government done wrong'

Col Collins repeated that the past government had broken the Covenant, and the new one had no money to repair the damage, Campbell was falling over himself trying to attack the present government. Even the other speaker who I think was brought in to swing things to the left agreed that the present government had their hands tied by the mess Labour have left.

Once again the BBC showing impartiality and a balanced view.

In conjunction with the daft scouser bint wittering on about the benefits of confession for ages, I think it's time to find another channel without the crap lefty bias.

This morning the intellectual giant that is the holy scouse strike breaker was interviewing Nick Clegg, the subject was about 'freedom' and how various Nu Laabaa laws would be repealed to increase freedom.

Out of the blue the bint pipes up, 'you talk about freedom, what about those denied the freedom of going to libraries or swimming pools because of cuts?'

She repeated this, then give Clegg his due he retorted that there was far more of this cutting back in Labour controlled councils than Lib Dem ones, and it would affect the freedoms of the next generation by making them pay for the waste of the current generation.

Suddenly the traffic report was a priority.......

Absolute socialist scum, Radio Moscow couldn't have been any more biased than the Beeb, maybe Radio Tirana at the time of Hoxha is their model of truth?

Ever since she was sent to Lourdes and then covered the ex nazi kiddy fiddlers subsidised tour her bias has become even more evident, again are we getting balanced viewpoints from the Beeb, I suspect not.....

Oh don't start on that one, the new iPhone app 'Endorsed by the Catholic Church'(just like kiddy fiddling) was the main topic of conversation the other day, she wittered on with Campbell about the benefits of confession. (Other religions and belief systems are available)

She gets all 'breathey' when religion is mentioned, perhaps she needs to get to a nunnery and leave us in peace!

I don't know if it's my general disgust about the BBC making me notice more bias, I do feel that since the 'Everyone was in the Hitler Youth so that makes it ok roadshow' her bias on both socialist and religious matters has become almost comical, and certainly not of the standard of presentation we should rightly expect from a BBC employee.

Combined with Campbells leftist leanings it has dragged the show down and interviews with people who do not 'believe' are embarrasing, as I mentioned on the OP, there are times when both 'outsiders', presumably brought in to present a 'balanced' viewpoint have ended up disagreeing with the BBC interviewer, and agreeing with each other.

I imagine just now for many Beeb employees (I know a few, and many ex-employees who have some horror stories about waste and excess to tell), it must be like Mubarak feels, with the real world forcing it's way in their cushy lifestyle.....

Not a fan of Campbell's lefty leanings, but if this Mirror article is correct then he's not too far off on this one:

If Jim Murphy and Nicky Campbell told me the sun set in the West I would get a compass out. (Murphy has been frantically trying to hide from FOI requests about his involvement in trying to cover up corruption allegations against Wendy, Douglas Alexanders sister, which ended with her resigning her position as leader of the Labour Party in Scotland) It's like an inbred version of Father Ted up here!

Seeing as Murphy(or Skeletor as he is fondly known), was such an advocate of going to war in Iraq he doesn't carry a huge amount of credibility when he starts demonstrating his 'concern' for the Armed Forces, I think it would be reasonable to assume that most of the problems and fatalities happened on Murphy and his cronies watch.

A pair of people who show that talent isn't needed to do well in the UK, just to keep in with the right people.

Though, to be fair, Campbell does seem to be fond of his dogs.

The Mirror's so far to the left it's unreal. Of course they're anti-LibCon

It actually makes me seethe that Labour have the temerity to attack their successors after the mess they left.
