Enough already Beeb!
Just sat through most of the appalling “Any Questions” regurgitated from last night.
It came from a private girls school up in Sheffield…where else would an Ed Balls,a Brendan Barber or a BBC outside broadcast to the the provinces find a sanctuary to begin the fightback against those Thatcherite Tories now in power? Still they all got their two cents worth of bile against Gove and his attempt to get the state off the teachers backs-hell the last thing that the unions and politicians want.
For this is where the last delusions of easy socialism are hardest to uproot. These featherbedded nobodies on fat salaries who preach the revolution but were privately educated themselves. They have their Tuscan retreats and two sets of expenses to claim from we the proles. They can strike a pose of equality and diversity at any workshop you set up for them to patronise…but somehow keep the cream whilst denouncing the schools attempts to provide some real mobility based on talent or merit-much as grammar schools and no tuition fees once did funnily enough!
But hey…we are where we are and it helps no-one to remind them of the past. Particularly the recent past which they actually DID influence! The one where schools turned tricks for dross but loads of targets and qualifications for all who cared to fish them from the bins of history –for it sure as hell is not getting taught anymore.
Witness the howling down in boos and jeers of the Tory on the panel who had the sheer nerve to say that actually the financial mess we have been left with was caused by Balls, Barber and their like. The facts meant nothing-no er “right thinking person” could deny that the Tories very existence and wish to enact policies that were voted through would divide the nation ,take the bread of the poor out of their mouths and even a BBC poll proves this very fact.
As for Islam-religion of peace ,peace be upon it…this pesky pastor has got us all round his finger-people will die if he burns the Koran…Islam is not yet ready to get the nuances of multicultural western thought so we are to get the shin pads on and metal detectors set up or on until they deign to do so.
Polly Toynbee says as much on Dateline London-and she personifies the smug and patronising air of entitlement as well as being taken oh so seriously that the Beeb regards as a healthy incest and a marriage of like minds that doesn`t need arranging or dowries-but the public can stump up for her private educations ,her Philippine maid and Tuscan villa as well as buying her a plot in Richmond Park to plant a poplar to assuage the effects of flying off to Tuscany with her gravy trained quangocrats in the family in order to look at windmill catalogues and solar power plans for Notting Hill. Hypocrisy-aren`t we all doing it dear?
In short-how much bile inducing phoniness and hypocrisy-how many Muslim mice do we say will have no effect on the elephant in the room…because there isn`t one silly…and that tumbleweed means no lack of thought but the effects of global warming if Monbiot doesn`t get your airmiles and you insist on seeing granny in Melbourne.
