Eh ?

Yes.

I also noted the constant use of the "Gibraltar Three" by the over voice.

And ?

You’ll need to explain.

Strange how both the Guardian and Telegraph both acclaimed this as a high quality and even handed look at the events of the period.

Julia Hartley-Brewer was told the reason she was dropped from HIGNIFY is because she was a right winger

Now according to the twitters the BBC has a right wing bias! You couldn't make this st up.

I'm really starting to detest the illiberal "progressive" alt-left; they're a fecking menace.

The left don't see any middle ground, your either with them or your a right wing nazi fascist.

Right now the BBC are too busy pushing the anti-Russia and lets bomb Syria propaganda, when they started all the Russia stuff days before the poisoning, I said on many social media platforms and internet forums "watch this space, I bet this all leads up to military action in Syria", was I right or was I right?

Are you seriously blaming the BBC for the escalation in tensions between Russia and the West? Because if so that's a whole new level of wibble, even for this thread.

THey certainly seem to be 'on message' with regards to that story.

They've caused some upset by planning to broadcast the Rivers of Blood speech during a radio documentary marking its 50th anniversary.

I'd consider it historical education but others seem to think it condones the speech.

Lord Adonis is calling for its' cancellation.

So what are the BBC in your eyes? Left leaning pro-Labour or right wing neo-cons?
They normally get accused of being multi-cultral peace loving lefties, going by your post they are warmongering right wing neo-cons.
Damned if they do Damned if they don't.

The BBC support the people that make sure we pay the BBC licence fee, they do lean left, but getting paid is what really keeps them going.

The Beebs problem at the moment is that while they lean to the left, think Blairite left, they don’t lean far enough to the left for JC and his storm troopers.

Always remember the left like nothing more than a good purge, especially if it’s of some of their own who aren’t quite as on message as they should be.

So far rigt wingers thing they’re left wing biased
Far left wingers think they’re right wing biased.

The BBC probably have got it about right then really if they’re getting accused of bias from both ends of the political spectrum.

What really annoys me about his dumb, sixth-form common room opinion broadcasting is that it dominates the bandwidth of effective opposition. There are undoubtedly far, far better left wing opinion makers out there, with much more rational and reasoned ideas and opposition, but his very existence neutralises them.
