Time to flog the BBC

For the benefit of my foreign readers who might not be fully aware of the, er, finer points of contemporary English wot is spoke in these modern times, let me explain that whilst the word 'flog' can mean a lashing with whips or canes, it can also mean 'sell', as in 'I want to flog my old second-hand motor, know wot I mean, John?!'

In the case of the BBC, I mean 'flog' in both senses of the word!

Today, I learn, or rather I have my previous suspicions confirmed, that the British State Broadcaster is nothing more nor less than a paid (by me!!!!!) mouthpiece for any and all loony Left beliefs.  I am grateful to one of my favourite (non)global warming sites, Watts Up With That, who have published the BBC's diktat guidelines on how the subject of global warming must be handled by its journalists and presenters.  In effect, it instructs them that any and all attempts, no matter how scientifically supported, to suggest that AGW is a load of old cobblers must be treated with hostility.

There is only one solution to this flagrant bias - privatise the BBC, er, if you can find anyone who is deaf, dumb and blind and possessed of more than sixpence.  I would suggest looking inside the Green Party!

Fortunately, as you have passed the middle age of 75 you will have many years of not paying for British Bias Corporation. And of course, after next March they might lose their stipend from their good friends in the EU. Although the unelected commissars might still think they can use their fifth column.

Remind me, what happened to Lord HAW-HAW?

Next thing you know the cheeky Beeb won't bother to have Flat Earthers on to debate globalists.

The odd thing about the BBC is that it still takes the climate game seriously, as if prominent Beeb staff think it really is a scientific theory with lots of evidence behind it.

Having spent twenty years pushing the idea that CO2 is the only driver of climate, the BBC has two choices- back off or double down.
Backing off would be very difficult given the vast numbers of BBC programmes being shown as repeats on many channels- they would be forced to contradict themselves and loose credibility.
So they are doubling down.

Coming soon: "Mental confinement" for "deniers" ...

While we're at it we can throw in the Australian Broadcasting Commission as a job lot.

They would consider Jeremy Corbyn a raving right wing nut job.

I'm sure Rupert murdoch could be persuaded to put in a bid.
