Comments on: BBC follows Labour’s media lead again http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2007/12/18/bbc-follows-labours-media-lead-again/ Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Wokingham Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:26:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: HelenSparkles http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2007/12/18/bbc-follows-labours-media-lead-again/#comment-15699 HelenSparkles Wed, 19 Dec 2007 08:16:35 +0000 http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2007/12/18/bbc-follows-labours-media-lead-again/#comment-15699 What you said about rape was shocking, not surprised John wanted to have a chat about it, and we really don't want to hear from you about Northern Rock thanks. You would probably just tell us where the governement have gone wrong, slating others again, instead of being positive about a solution. Do you have one then? reply: yes - try reading the blog, and apologise for misrepresenting what I said.

Privatisation, deregulation and the open market in broadcasting is the only way forward. I don't like it when a broadcaster takes an innocent remark and distorts it to make it sound outrageous but I am much more outraged that I'm forced to pay for them whether I watch them or not. Time to abolish the telly-tax and expose the BBC to fair competition and market forces. The BBC are without shame.

I warned before that they fight dirty, so be prepared for more of the same, ably assisted by their friends in the BBC and other media organisations.

The BBC really ought to be doing more to explain the credit crunch to the public. I really feel that the standard of BBC financial programming has dipped since the days of Peter Jay. The BBC seem fixated with Cable's nationalization proposal, it is the only suggestion the layman gets to hear.
