The Guardian / BBC / Labour Party nexus update

My previous story has engendered a Twitter conversation with comedian David Schneider:








So did I get a reasoned reply from David Schneider? Not as yet and his next Tweet was this



I wonder if David Schneider will re-engage with me or will he stick to 'wank gags'?

Meanwhile at the BBC Robert Peston has jumped on board with a piece entitled 'Are hedge fund managers the Tories' trade unionists?'. A heart warming piece that whilst ostensibly trying to be impartial but really isn't. Here's an extract:
'... when a party becomes as dependent as the Tory Party has apparently become on a group of individuals and institutions with a number of identifiable collective interests - their shared concern about the impact of European financial services directives would spring to mind - it becomes more of a challenge for a prime minister to demonstrate that he is governing for all.'
How about when a political party gets the vast majority of its money from Trade Unions who also sit on the party's policy making & other committees as well as make up a third of the party's internal electorate? How about when that political party is bankrolled by the same Trade Unions that are given public money to be paid to them for 'modernisation'? It is odd that the BBC and The Guardian seem unconcerned about the level of control that the Trade Unions hold over the Labour Party.
