7. Two nice articles imho at The Daily Sceptic (url in blogrolls)

First is this one DAD covers at 1203:

Second involves confessions of a former Beeb man:

“The BBC has always been very Left-wing. But it didn’t used to be biased.

I should know because I was one of those identikit Left-wingers who worked at the BBC for 25 years. Everyone thought the same: Thatcher was mad, the poll tax was evil, immigration was a good thing, the rich should be taxed and nuclear weapons were immoral. These liberal-Left attitudes were shared by the vast majority of the people I worked with in the British Broadcasting Corporation. With a few exceptions.

I remember a quiet young man called Robbie Gibb who appeared in the BBC’s Millbank complex in Westminster in the 1990s when I was presenting BBC political programmes there. He was a Tory, so I was informed, as if he had some affliction which was unfortunate but which should be respected and not mocked.

And on the whole he was respected.”

History doesn’t always repeat itself but often rhymes. Regime change needs a reason in the minds of the proles, in the past it has been either sponsoring terrorists or weapons of mass destruction. This time it’s narco terrorists. I am coming to the conclusion that Mr Prez is not all that he seems to be or is very poorly advised, maybe even compromised.
