To the Good Guys - Shapps, Lawson and Turnbull

The BBC really is outrageous. John Humphrys shows his true patronising, pink, self important, sanctimonious, self in his interview of Grant Shapps this morning on Today. You can listen to the interview here. John Humphrys is a journalist and as such has the obligation to be accurate in his statements. He also works for the BBC and is thus obliged to be impartial. Why would it have been Shapps's staff who made a cock up over the previously requested interview? Why could it not have been the fault of the BBC staff? As in any organisation they are bound to have snafus and for Humphrys to pretend otherwise is, well, arrogance of a BBC kind. I object to having to pay money to an organisation which fails to honour its obligations for impartiality and is against virtually everything I stand for.  The government really has to do something with the BBC. Either they should break it up and sell off the bits or they should split it into two parts with the vast majority of left of centre types running one half and right of centre types running the other half with each side being allowed to be as partial as they want to be. We could then have plurality of presentation not only on political issues but also on issues like climate change which the BBC for some reason believes it is bound to present as if there was no argument against the findings of the IPCC and other like minded organisations. The blog Bishop Hill is publicising here more leaked emails in what is known as Climategate which as far as I'm concerned proves even more that this climate change drama is a drama in the sense only that it is misrepresented by those who should know better, including the BBC. Whilst we are on the subject of climate change there is a wonderful open letter  here from Lords Lawson and Turnbull to that prat Chris Huhne setting him and his idiotic, dangerous and totally unaffordable policy to rights. You can feel the venom as each point made by My Lords sinks home.
