The BBC and the Peter Hain story

I see that the BBC have mover the Peter Hain sleaze story. The main news is now that Gordon Brown has "called for a national debate" on changing the organ donation system to one of opting out rather than opting in. Lots of cuddly film of people this change would help, no mention of the Alder Hay affair though.


The second story is on George Bush and his description of Iran as the world's leading state sponsor of terror. More of the usual disparaging of George Bush included.


The Peter Hain story is number three in the running order but being the BBC it is being linked to the somewhat different matter of the allegations being made about George Osborne's office's financing.

The BBC always happy to muddy the waters in order to support their beloved Labour government.

That Labour party shit, Stephen "Steve" Pound, was shown doing his usual bit of mud throwing on behalf of his Lords and masters. He supported Hazel Blears for the position of deputy leader of the Labour party but his main loyalty is to himself and his career, albeit that career stalled when he resigned his position as PPS to the afore mentioned Hazel Blears over the decision to replace Trident; maybe he is trying to resurrect it and the BBC are trying to help him do that, but why? My favourite Stephen Pound story is reported in Wikipedia thus: "In 2003 BBC’s Today Programme asked its listeners to suggest a law that they would like to see put onto the statute books. The BBC received 10,000 nominations and five were short-listed, from which listeners then voted to select their preferred choice. Stephen Pound agreed to sponsor in parliament whichever idea eventually won the final vote. On 1 January 2004 it was announced on air that first place with 37% of the vote had gone to the proposal to authorise homeowners to use any means to defend their home from intruders. (The controversial farmer Tony Martin was still very much in the news.) Stephen Pound’s on-air reaction to the result was that, "The people have spoken - the bastards"."

It's called democracy Steve, something Labour politicians really don't like, unless it gives them the result they want.
