Did anybody notice the 'Today' programme of Thursday morning - polling day - when they boldly announced, 'the credit crunch is over'. Apparently it was based on a press release from the Bank of England: So the government used two arms of state to help their electoral chances.
Too bad for them it didn't work...

Highlight for me was Hoon pretending not to hear a question.
The scrolling subtitle on news24 saying all day that Conservatives have won control of 'several' councils ( several = 12 or more at the time)

Hoon's loss of hearing was a gift.
Jeremy,
I agree re the Bank of England report spewed out to try and convey the idea that things can only get better. That's true - better for anyone who loaths Mr Broon and his crew. But how can the BBC present this - after all, the prospect of a future conservative govt must be their worst nightmare.

It is quite significant that the BBC (and ITV) refused to air the election Manifesto of the Christian Choice party because (inter alia) that Party described Tablighi Jamaat as "a separatist Islamic group".
http://www.newenglishreview.org/...m/blog_id/

The BBC did air the election Manifesto of the Green Party, a Manifesto which did not mention that the Green Party was entering into electoral alliances with Muslim groups to defeat Boris Johnson. This was not mentioned in the Green Party manifesto. Are not these words which appear on the Muslim Public Affairs website, which are the words of the
Green Party's Press Officer, Gary Dunion, offensive to the BBC?:
"I agree that Boris Johnson as mayor would be a total disaster for community relations and the situation of Muslim Londoners."
The Green Party makes no mention of its 'Green' (!) stance against Boris Johnson's 'community relations' views in its Manifesto.
This gives some inkling of the lengths to which the anti-Boris Johnson aliance will go, regardless of window-dressing 'Manifesto' words:

Another subtle yet significant bit of bias by our friends at the BBC:
With all local election results declared, Sky News are reporting 299 Conservative gains, and 421 Labour losses here http://news.sky.com/skynews/

However, the BBC are reporting these as +256 and -351, respectively, here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/b...ap/html/

The significant difference comes from the way in which the new Cheshire and Durham unitary authorities have been counted. The BBC has chosen to represent all of the seats won here as gains, whereas Sky have (correctly) calculated the gains and losses based on the old council seats.

On BBC news twenty fours, 8.30 P.M. news headlines, I've just been informed that Boris and Ken are almost neck and neck.
If Johnson wins London easily, the BBC should never be either used, or trusted to call the election results again.
Their out right appeasement to everything and anything, this New Labour "project" have to say or offer, over this last twenty four hours, has been utterly shocking - even for them.
Sadder than thou:
London is screwed if Boris wins. Not just because Boris is a gaff strewn loon - I'm sure he will sit grinning whilst the party machine runs London.
No, because of 'County Hall' is full to the brim of placemen. Some may leave in a huff, some may go before they are pushed but most will stay and obstruct every change Boris tries to implement.
Nothing will get done without a fight and the BBC will publised every minor failure.

Brilliant news. And a death knell for both political correctness and the BBC.
I'm wondering into how many tiny pieces the BBCs funding will be smashed once the Tories take power.
What I want to know though is how the Beeboids will dismiss the will of a nation to rid itself of leftism forever.
Ah, of course, the whole thing will have been the work of racists.

I have a feeling that will be exactly what the Beeboids try and do. But it'll be too late. Hopefully the Conservatives will have the backbone to start spreading public broadcasting funds to other channels shrinking the BBC's pot, as a starting point to killing the BBC off for good.
You have to laugh at Labour though. They simply haven't got a clue. They're so out of touch they don't even realise they've got a huge kicking because they tax too much; they do nothing about immigration; they lied about the EU Lisbon treaty vote... I could go on. They think it's only about the 10p rate of tax and the global economy. Nope. That's just the top of the iceberg. Roll on 2010, the ending of the Labour, and the beginning of the end for the BBC licence fee.

It's 7.00am here on Saturday Morning in Brisbane Australia and I have just been listening to the BBC News on a local radio station. Right at the end (I must confess I didn't expect to hear anything) was the comment that Ken Livingstone is "slightly ahead of Boris Johnson in a very close election" for the London Mayor. I gather from other blogspots that they're being slightly optomistic!

Great looking at the dour faces at the BBC as they contemplate the demise of the Zanulab social experiment and their beloved Ken Leavingsoon.

What the last 24 hours has shown is how powerless the BBC is in trying to save Labour. Most people have arrived at the conclusion independently that a high tax society with a government which is so out of touch with reality and the public that regardless how much soft left propoganda the BBC pump out Labour are finished. The BBC simply isn't reaching people. People are wise to the soft left propoganda the BBC presents, and it is no longer effective. Talking heads will appear, and they will be out of touch with reality and the public. None of them get it.
Labour are finished as tax is too high, inflation is out of control, immigration is out of control, they lied about the Lisbon Treaty, crime is out of control, they screwed over their own supporters to appease middle England and didn't realise they have had enough of socialists. Labour is finished. And the BBC will be joining them in time.

Fact is Boris Johnson is probably the most powerful Conservative politician in the UK at this moment.
On Sky News they had that vile hag Yasmin Alabi Brown (the Reverand Wright of the British media) who was almost spitting at Iain Dale and Boris Johnson.
Why can't the left ever accept the democratic word of the people? Boris was elected on the biggest turn out for the London Mayor election, yet still the vile pig complained.
The left might as well do away with democracy, after all they seem to think that the only way to vote is Socialist and anything elese is wrong.
We've had to put up with Livingstone for 8 years and McLiebour for 11.
All Alabi Brown could say was it's the fault of Tony Bliar. Can't she give that up? He's long gone.
It's all too much:
Has the old Boris gone forever? What happens if he returns? And what will it mean for David Cameron and the Conservatives?
The Tory leader does not want to spend the two years in the run-up to the next general election having to defend, or distance himself from, the London Mayor.
Mr Johnson is now the national and international face of London, one of the world's greatest cities. He will now face media and political scrutiny.
As Londoners prepared to vote The Guardian newspaper published a series of articles urging people to reject Mr Johnson.
This is all the BBC has to say on the london victory...
"Similar articles appeared in other papers. The warning was clear: you may think you are voting for a charming Bertie Wooster-like figure but in fact you are about to hand power to a less pleasant character.
This is moment to trot out what is perhaps the most famous journalistic cliché of all - only time will tell."

Of course we now know that Livingfilth's brain was in his dick. How many children does he have by how many different mothers? And how many are on welfare benefits?
Not a word from BBC scum about Livingfilth's indiscretions, but if Boris sneezes, well Tories beware, they`ll be all over it like the maggots on a carcase that they are.

And a worse, piss-poorer, scissors and paste job you'll not see for many moons." - yup, that's where I found the sub-moronic drivel about 'tousle-haired' and 'maverick' and Cameron distancing himself and 'lucrative newspaper column' and all the rest of it.

Thanks for that, JBH.
Laughing Gravy:
The way the BBC have behaved through all this proves two things:-
1) Their reporting is purely for themselves.
2) Nobody is listening to them.
That last comment must be the most bitter pill to swallow, because soon the BBC will be throwing it's own lifebelt in, as they do their worst to convince a bitter public why the BBC license fee shouldn't be split across a hundred different media outlets all bidding for a slice of public broadcasting.
The end of the BBC as we know it is nigh, and there is absoultely NOTHING any of them can do about it except start looking for a fresh public funded trough to bury their snouts in.
As for Boris Johnson becoming mayor, perhaps he is a buffoon, but I agree with Nearly Oxfordian. At least he won't be championing the causes of murderous religious zealots while he spends the rest of his time poising pigeons and smashing up buses.
NotaSheep:
The BBC are pretending that the local elections never happened, take a look at their "news" front pages; it's all Boris and the McCanns. Even when they run a story on the aftermath of the local elections, it's from the point of view of Gordon Brown and the Labour party not the Conservatives. The BBC is just the house broadcaster of the Labour party, why should we be forced to pay for its vile propaganda?
PeterN:
PREMEDITATED Have the conservatives / LD's/ Others instigated an Alex Ferguson type boycott of BBC?
Watched results Thursday / Friday till 2.45 (wonder why?)Yes usual studio panel journos / politicians etc - but why only Labour MP's at their local count?(coordinated response "it's all about listening") Just happened to be passing? No other party figures out at their town hall? Does the Beeb only interview defeated parties on these occasions (whoever that might be)? WAKE UP APPARACHICKS! This takes coordinatined planning and is totally transparent to anyone who has any knowledge of live TV.
Similarly last night - Newsnight - lame excuse about no shadow minister being available. Why am I surprised that only press reviewer old chestnut Michael White of the Guardian available. New24 until 1.45 (there are limits!) Only PollyTs number available?. BrianP, TJowell, 'have you stopped beating your wife' with Boris interviews apart only comments from beeb political editors / correspondants (how many have they got?)& Travers. Are the reseachers the QuestionTime mob or are they only following orders? Great idea for fly on the wall doc - 'A day in the life, Inside the BBC Newsroom'
backwoodsman:
Toady prog on Saturday morning characterises Boris as a 'buffoon' , but strangely not livingstone as 'corrupt, nepotistic & induging in cronyism' , all of which epithets apply equally.
Anonymous:
Is the BBC's 'analysis' of Boris Johnson's victory in the Mayor for London contest the most one sided leftist attack on Boris you could see given he won? It's just basically running the poor guy down, full with a cut and paste job from the BBC's in house toilet paper the Guardian. No sign of any balance in the article, like Boris' good qualities.

I guess it's time to add Sean Curran to the 'list' as another first rate tosser working at the BBC.

Re 5 lite They have been putting on loads of anti Tory callers. In fact for the last 20 minutes they've done nothing but attack Johnson.
The wanker Nolan is in full anti Boris attack mode now, the man is fuming at Johnson. Take a listen, it's a disgrace.
Martin | 03.05.08 - 12:59 am
A procession of lefties, who like the Alibi Brown on Sky last night, know better than the poor, ignorant & gullible voters.
Nolan promises 3 more hours of it from 10pm tonight.
Robin:
The pro-Ken/anti-Boris tone was pretty relentless and structural in all the BBC News 24 coverage I saw last night and this morning. The emphasis was heavily on 'Boris the Buffoon' with analysis of Ken's corrupt regime virtually nil. The impression was of Livingstone as a departing hero. By contrast, Andrew Gilligan - the Evening Standard's lead reporter on Ken's alleged corruption - was questioned by John Sopel last night in sneery tones that implied that he was a maverick gutter journalist, while Polly Toynbee was afforded the status of royalty.
Overall, this was handled as a sad loss, rather than an outstanding victory for the Conservatives and Boris personally. His success was firmly put down to spin doctors.
John Reith spins in his grave:
Out of the country and a bit behind on the news today - but nice to wake up to wall to wall good tidings.
I hope somewhere in the bowels of Nulab HQ there's a spinner crying into his latte and dimly remembering, from his Oxbridge days, G.K. Chesterton's unmatched lines on the English.........
They have given us into the hands of the new unhappy lords,
Lords without anger and honour, who dare not carry their swords.
They fight by shuffling papers; they have bright dead alien eyes;
They look at our labour and laughter as a tired man looks at flies.
And the load of their loveless pity is worse than the ancient wrongs,
Their doors are shut in the evenings; and they know no songs.
We hear men speaking for us of new laws strong and sweet,
Yet is there no man speaketh as we speak in the street.
It may be we shall rise the last as Frenchmen rose the first,
Our wrath come after Russia's wrath and our wrath be the worst.
It may be we are meant to mark with our riot and our rest
God's scorn for all men governing. It may be beer is best.
But we are the people of England; and we have not spoken yet.
Smile at us, pay us, pass us. But do not quite forget.
Well, Nulab, we've spoken now and - to put it less elegantly than Chesterton - Which bit of "F*ck off" don't you understand?
And to beeboids everywhere - never forget your turn is coming soon.
Martin:
Well Said. Gordon, take your Scottish army back across the border to think again.
Andrew:
Anyone notice that the BBC dropped UKIP out of the mayoral results, keeping the 3 candidates that polled lower?

Martin:
Andrew: I thought it was interesting that the BNP only got 7,000 vote less than the Green party which as we know has had endless airtime on the BBC.
It just shows that the so called "green issue" is a minority issue and they don't deserve any more airtime on the BBC than the BNP or UKIP.
What really heartens me though is that I think the BBC is a busted flush. Despite all their effort they couldn't get red Ken elected and they won't save McBean.
The internet exposes the lies they promote (like climate change) and we can see the hatred they have for the Tories exposed on a daily basis.
What we must do is put pressure on the Tory party that if they do win the next election (and I think that's now odds on) the BBC MUST be finished off. WE have to put pressure on Tory MP's, we have to remind them of the BBC bias and make sure the BBC is sorted once and for all.
Sell it off, scrap the TV tax, I don't care, but end it as a haven for fat left wing harridens like Toynbee.
Martin:
Going back to wanker boy Nolan last night on his hissy fit queen rant about Boris Johnson. He got upset because they were drinking Champagne and eating Oysters. When a caller asked who was paying for it, wanker boy said "we don't know".
But he continued to rant about it. I might be wrong but I assume there was some sort of party at the Council building afterwards probably to celebrate the elections including all the staff and the journalists there as well?
Fact it, Nolan is a journalist so could have found out fefore shouting this pathetic (and very punchable) face off.
nrg:
Once the shock passes, the Beeboids will get the gloves off now and go into full pro-Labour anti-Tory election mode. The bais will become extra-ordinary blatant.
My personal favourite moment, was an ashed faced Mill-broon blustering on about how it was really a great Labour triumph and rudely accusing a Tory lady of being complacent. Needless to say he got a free reign to spout all sorts of nonsense completely unchallenged.
David:
I'll say something else, too. The BBC must be petrified, not just because Boris and the Tories have had such a good couple of days, but because they have had all this success despite the BBC's constant bias. When you look at the rubbish the BBC has thrown at Cameron, Boris and the Conservatives in general over the last couple of years (yes, it has gone on longer, but wasn't directly related to this new 'crop'), it is astounding that the millions of people who watch the BBC clearly haven't been taken in by their propaganda. They must be terrified that it's not working anymore.
Laughing Gravy:
Yes, let's hope the arrogance that permeates Broadcasting House continues for the next 2 years.
Personally I want them to continue supporting labour to the very moment they are booted out of office - and of course for weeks after - as the Conservatives plan to rid the UK of them forever.
Yest, now would be a good time to take advantage of this blow to the BBC. Don't let conservative politicians ever forget who's side the BBC have been on and the damage they have done to this nation over the past decade.
Jack Bauer:
martin .. "What we must do is put pressure on the Tory party that if they do win the next election (and I think that's now odds on) the BBC MUST be finished off. WE have to put pressure on Tory MP's, we have to remind them of the BBC bias and make sure the BBC is sorted once and for all."
Agreed. The whole rotten reactionary edifice has to be torn down.
Martin:
I also hope the BBC continues to support McBean. The greatest asset the Tories has is in McBean. The man is an idiot has no idea what he is doing and is going to continually keep dropping clangers.
I do laugh at the BBC attacking Boris saying he's never run anything, but what had McBean and Bliar run before they got elected in 1997?
But once the Tories do get power, they MUST do something about the BBC. With the switch to digital, the BBC could easily be made a subscription only service so all those Guardian readers that think it's great value for money can continue to pay for it.
I'd also like to to see the commercial subsidy the Guardian Newspaper gets stopped as well. Government jobs should be advertised in all the papers not just the Guardian.
I'd love to know how much money they make from those jobs pages.
Jack Bauer:
But Martin... Brown-noser has LOTS of experience running things. The country into the ground, for starters.
From private school to university to Labour party to Labour candidate to MP to Cabinet to PM.
That's Brown -- never had a frackin' actual "job" in his whole life.
Flipping burgers at the local McDoanlds would be beyond this workshyte sub-marxist.
Nearly Oxfordian:
As a great admirer of Chesterton, thanks for that!

Boris Johnson is Ken Livingstone but with recidivist standards of consistency, decency, and humanity.
Pete:
With Tories winning elections and global warming stopping for ten more years its tough for the BBC at the moment. They'll need every penny of their £3 billion per year to get us back on the straight and narrow, but they'll be OK. We're all on the database.

given the usual bank holiday weather ...I am enjoying basking in the beebs humiliation...its a good day.
Peter:
The Beeboids are frantic,the whole leftist part of the MSM is in a hissy fit.We must mock them,sneer and jeer at them,destroy the assumed moral high ground that they have falsely adopted.
Laughing Gravy:
Agreed Peter.
Can anyone recommend a place I can go sneer and rub salt into the wounds where Beeboids are most likely to read it. I have already posted on "Have Our Say" on the BBC website but it's not enough to satiate my hunger to sneer.
Laughing Gravy:
I would have gone and done some sneerng on BBC reports on Youtube, but Youtube has vanished off the face of the earth at the moment. Try it!
Jack Bauer:
Mr Gravy ... you could try the Grauniad. Or the (In-de-tank-4-Labour) Independent. It's the same audience.
But be warned, the "tolerant" libz posters get very intolerant of contrarian views involving free speech.
Jim Miller:
Bryan - You might also want to look at Picasa. It is a free program, available from Google, that does a good job of cataloging all your pictures.
But it is also quite good at minor fixes for photographs. If I am working with photos, I will often try Picasa first, before bringing in a heavyweight program like Photoshop, or Paintshop Pro. (I use it with Linux, but the Windows version is almost identical.)
Nearly Oxfordian:
Woad, have you sought professional help?
Jim Miller:
Buffoon or journalist? It is amusing to see that the BBC keeps referring to Boris Johnson as a buffoon when he is, in fact, a journalist, or, if you prefer, a journalist/politician, a breed more common in Britain than the US.
By denigrating him they are, implicitly, denigrating their own profession.
(My impression is that he was a successful editor of the Spectator, but if I am wrong about that, please feel free to correct me.)
Oh, and congratulations to the voters of England and Wales, especially those in London.
Bryan:

pointing out that I was amazed at their total silence in the light of this stunning political upheaval. Dunno if they'll publish it.
Jim Miller | Homepage | 03.05.08 - 1:50 pm
Thanks for that.

Well, we'll see if they can take being sneered at.

Laughing Gravy,
You could try DigitalSpy.co.uk for some Beeb bashing. Specifically the 'broadcasting' section. The leftist stench is all to apparent there and you can hit them hard while they are down at the moment.
You'll be able to spot the leftist assholes just by their post counts which run into 10's of 1000's.

The following BBC election report clearly written by an unhappy beeboid- with left leanings and no doubt more than a little subconscious regard for the Respect party- has a sub-heading in bold type:
'Respect Stoke voters'
Strange, how this was culled from this comment: " Mr Tappin said: "We have lost some seats, strangely enough, not to the Conservatives but to the independents and the BNP. I think that will be sad for the government of Stoke but that is what Stoke's voters want and we have to respect that."
Peter:
Picture the Beeboids,sat miserably in a bar,disconsolately pushing the cherry in their Campari and lemonade round with the little umbrella.Tears course down their cheeks,smudging their eye shadow.
The women have taken it even worse.
The amusing part is,the prattle about Brown having two years to put things right.Interesting he fucked things up in only a few months.
Nearly Oxfordian:
Have just joined and posted several sneers, both about their pathological anti-Boris and anti-Israel bias and about the obscene amount they've spent on 'rebranding' themselves. What a bunch of wankers.
Nearly Oxfordian:
LOL, Peter.
Nearly Oxfordian:
From DigitalSpy:
"The problem with most of the "anti BBC" posts on these boards is people refuse to engage in a proper debate. They simply ignore questions that are uncomfortable or they change the subject"

OK, OK, I know that one shouldn't mock the slow of thinking. They can't help being dumb. But really ...
Laughing Gravy:
My god, just five minutes of reading some of the blather on digital spy and my toes are curling. Some of those posters come off like Christian missionaries spreading the gospel of the BBC. What world do these pipe smoking simpletons inhabit because it certainly isn't the real world.
Discussions on how fantastic the BBC is and what value for money the license fee is.
The posters can only be hardline Beeboids and nothing else. If ever a place was asking to be trolled, that has to be it. I'm off!
Martin:
Digital Spy is the home of the McLiebour camp leather and stilleto wearing male Beeboid
Phil Jackson:
'Respect Stoke voters'
But I predict that my native city will shortly become an object of hate for bourgeois leftists. Expect articles in the Guardian ('City of Suspicion and Fear') and a Panorama doc ('Mosley's Shadow') in the near future.
The local MP Mark Fisher (Lab) is an Old Etonian...but that's just it with the vulgar masses - they can't get anything right. If they vote for a toff in London they're immersed in a culture of deference, and if they veer away from the toff's party in Stoke they're knuckle dragging bigots.
If only they all listened to Radio 4.
John:
I see Al-Beeb has lost no time in reporting that James Whale, the Talksport presenter, has just been sacked for advising listeners to vote for Boris in the mayoral election.
Apparently, it's illegal for presenters to openly advocate the choice of one party over another in advance of an election! Of course, we all know that BBC presenters have been faithfully and objectively holding that non-partisan line for years, haven't they.
The hypocrisy just goes on and on.
