0740 Hrs GMT London Thursday 17 September 2009: Editor © Muhammad Haque. KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! Scrap the BBC Trust! So, even the BBC says so. As read out by the Today programme, just a minute ago. So we say too SCRAP the BBC Trust. It is nothing to do with trust. The BBC has been faking it for years. For decades to be precise. It is time the BBC told the truth about politics, policies and the price people have to pay for the lying holders of positions with alleged power over the ordinary people. The BBC cannot be allowed to keep covering up for the untruthful holders of positions in the state while it tells the truth only as an exception. Telling the truth has got to be the norm. Ben Bradshaw himself fails when he fails to recognise the real deficit of the BBC. Has Bradshaw called for the BBC to start examining his [Bradshaw] own record? Would he dare? Has Bradshaw got the integrity, the ethics and the morality to face up to his cheerleading role as a propaganda peddler for Blair’s war on the innocents? That would be the true test of telling the truth. Just as the BBC has to stop lying so must the Bradshaws of the world of opportunism must be made to face up to their role as the peddlers of lethal lies against uncounted numbers of innocent people… As BOTH sides lack the deep commitment and integrity necessary, both are going to resort to their own side’s excuses and carry on. How can they do so? Because there is no democratic society in Britain. The democracy that there is is a sham one with the participating perpetrators profiting the most from their pretentious parades as they mislead the public…. The BBC has NEVER broken a single major story, despite the claims it permanently displays all over its portals. Even when other sources and organs do the disclosing, the BBC fails to acknowledge those others’ contributions. The BBC has been able to behave in this way because of the arrangement that exists between it and the position-seeking, position-keeping politicians on the one hand and the vested interests and Big Business and their own cabals on the other. Ben Bradshaw has not shown that he even knows the depth of untruth that is the ‘political culture’ of which he is a part and a type. Bradshaw deserves to be made to recognise and tell the truth. But that task is not going to be done by the BBC. Backdoor deals will make sure that the truth is concealed and the public given daily doses of fakery. When the BBC primes the listeners and viewers with the over the top announcements, as it did yesterday [Wednesday 16 September 2009], that David Cameron was about to make yet another epoch-making announcement, it never delivers in fact and on the fact. It never brings any evidence of such epoch making pretensions to any point of truth. Cameron was thus allowed to make a monumentally untruthful claim yesterday about the list of candidates. He did not have to justify the claim. Because the BBC did not interrogate him. And so he got away with the claim that thousands of people from all walks of life applied to become Conservative party MP candidates. He then read out a script that was totally untrue. The impression Cameron gave or the impression he gave of his intention was that ordinary people from across the UK had responded to his call and he had accepted a good number in context. Yet any basic look at the list he spouted out would show that these people were unrepresentative of the ordinary people that Cameron was claiming them to be. The people he identified were even more Tory than the Ca-moroned Tories themselves. So why didn’t the BBC examine that list? The BBC dare not. To question the questionable claims by Cameron would have exposed the BBC to momentarily ‘rigorous’ accusations that it was biased against the Conservatives. The BBC is biased.
That bias is not Party-based. Or ideology-based. It is a bias that is based on the BBC’s bureaucratic need to preserve itself. The BBC has confected a world as based on the leis it has told over decades which is hard for any single Party to undo. Not that there exists any party in the UK that even knows this. There is no Party that would want to undo the BBC’s frame of lies. The utterances by Ben Bradshaw are to be seen in that context. Bradshaw, himself a courier of a curriculum vitae that contains an entry with the BBC in it, is not about telling the truth. His utterance is a stunt. It is about getting the BBC to make a deal that will bring Bradshaw's career ‘gravitas’ and enhancements. For the time being. And then Bradshaw will hope to move on to pastures even more profitable for himself than he has experienced so far. As a career practitioner of the craft of lying, Bradshaw knows where his stunt will land him. He will then strike a deal. That is what he is about. Not about telling the truth. That is why the Today programme played at rigorously questioning the embarrassing chair of the untrustworthy BBC Trust in today's show. Despite Ms Montague’s scripted words of fake objectivity, the item was as bogus as all the other ones that the BBC from time to time indulges in staging about the Corporation. In any case, how could the Trust man be the source of any objective criticism of the Trust and of its role? In the UK Parliament the BBC is given unlimited access to record millions of words of garbage that are uttered by the stooged MPs and peers. Between the stooged ones and the BBC there thus exists this accord of lying for mutual career protection. The stooged ones do not tell the truth and the BBC does not point this out. What the BBC does point out is any sign of real audacity. Anyone in Parliament who shows any audacity against the culture of lying is treated as a suspect. As the BBC did in June 2008 when David Davis, the Ca-moroned Home Affairs shadow, announced that he was resigning as an MP in protest at the 'database' society that Britain was becoming... Davis himself had an agenda. But his personal agenda was far less damaging to any democratic efforts than the damage done to those by the BBC in ‘reporting’ Davis' announcement to step down as MP and force a by-election. The latest in-house fakery icon, James Liedale Landale, embarked instantly on a demolition job against David Davis……[To be continued]
