BBC Party Political Broadcast by the Conservative Party.

[ginettajoe]

Did anyone else notice how very conveniently, the BBC who is renowned for its subtle "Labour" propaganda, failed in its attempt to show the "Party Political Broadcast by the Conservative Party" tonight due to a breakdown in sound, but miraculously, "normal service was resumed" in time for the following program!! This should have been about the referendum on Thursday in respect of "alternative voting", and David Cameron's opinion! What a coincidence!!!

sounds about what you would expect from the BBC these days. All these people currently going on about voting labour just because of a few cuts must be either thick, have the memory of a goldfish or most likely both.

This time it almost certainly is coincidence.

While there are plenty of people with a bias they certainly wouldn't deliberately pull the broadcast. Everything in the control system is logged in minute detail and the engineers take their responsiblity far too seriously. Besides this was the local election broadcast rather than the no campaign.

Additionally the following programme was delayed as well. Besides who watches party broadcasts? (Actually I did only because it was delayed)...

(Added a missing question mark.)

They did actually delay the following programme so they could show the whole broadcast. Which was absolutely terrible, by the way.

I can't imagine it was deliberate at all.

Yawn...

Could have been a number of things especially in this digital age, but deliberate? No, I think not. People read too much into simple things.

The same thing happened during Lambing Live a few weeks back
I makes me laugh when that poor chap is pulled out of the cupboard and given a mic... "erm, well...we seem to be having some difficulties" and then just waffles on every few seconds trying to make conversation.

The BBC does not transmit any of its programmes. This is done by a company called Red Bee. This has been the case for nearly ten years and is as a direct result of political pressure, across all parties, to change the BBC. The outside broadcast department was another more recent sale. So in a way it could be said the Tories are a victim of a policy they supported.
