LoL at the BBC

The Leveson Inquiry rolls on and on for no discernible purpose. Nothing will come of it other than a very large bill since if anyone thinks the Government will use it to control press excesses in any way will be quite rightly disillusioned. There can be no restriction on the free press which does of course not include the BBC. The people pay for the BBC but it serves only those of us who read the Guardian. As the BBC fails to satisfy a goodly percentage of the rest of us its output should definitely be restricted, perhaps to the same number of hours it broadcast before we were allowed ITV. The BBC loves the Inquiry as it presses all its anti Tory, anti Murdoch buttons. Inevitably one of the main stories yesterday and today on BBC News was of course the evidence given by Coulson and Rebekah Brooks. In my view not even the email about Hunt that the BBC and others are so excited about is in the slightest bit damning or indeed interesting. Why shouldn't Hunt, if he did, ask for guidance on hacking issues from the organisation that was steeped in it? It seems very sensible to me that when you have caught a poacher you ask him what you as landowner should do to prevent its further occurrence. Rather than spending so much time on the Leveson Inquiry the BBC should question who leaked the details of the MI5/MI6 agent who uncovered the underpants plot. Whoever it was, even if it was the Americans, the culprits should be exposed notwithstanding that it might prove to be someone close to Bummer Obama. The BBC thinks the sun shines out of his arse and will hear nothing said against him. Not even the scandal in which he's involved relating to the sale of weapons to Mexican drug gangs for the purpose of putting pressure on the gun brigade to agree to some restriction on the right to own a gun.
