Holy cow!!

Afraid it will be trotskyist jibber-jabber emanating from No10 henceforth.

Personages at the aforesaid address, must be referred to by the term "comrade and comrade citizen" henceforth. "Das Kapital " will be required reading for all staff members at No10 also.

The BBC does actually have the odd employee whose politics are not left of centre but they have to hide it to avoid becoming pariahs.

What made me laugh is one journalist who knew the chap explaining how he had hidden his Conservative leanings as if it was some sort of dangerous deviancy.

I think Cameron has chosen well in bringing on board someone with extensive experience of TV news broadcasting. It won't help them gain anymore positive coverage but at least they will have greater knowledge of the propaganda machine arraigned against them.

So we're going to be subjected to even more BBC AGW lies and propaganda then?

I doubt that would change regardless of who he appointed some how. He's more green than blue, I'm convinced the only reason he wears a blue tie is because he knew a green one wouldn't get him No 10.

Yes indeed, an ex BBC Exec will be perfect for perverting the truth and selling lies, good move Dave
