The BBC: Menace To National Security

I hope that the BBC is very pleased with itself. Its interference in the Iranian electoral process - from its launch of an entire "service" to presume to tell Iranians how to vote, to its lavish coverage of petulant foot-stamping by North Tehran glitterati - has reawakened the never very deep-sleeping giant of hostility to Britain going back to the overthrow of Mossadegh.

The BBC is also a menace to democracy, as if we didn't already know. Esther Rantzen on Question Time last night. Ballot-rigging of Tatton-esque proportions. And do you know who wrote all of Martin Bell's campaign literature? Oliver Kamm. Later of the Euston Manifesto and the Henry Jackson Society. Just fancy that...

    As the man who wishes to become the uber-lay cardinal of the UK and inflict your own brand of theo-fascism, I am sure you are in full solidarity (sic) with the Ayatollahs.

    The arch-theorcrat of the north indeed.

  4. Saturation coverage of Martin Bell (of the BBC), and the Labour and Lib Dem candidates withdrawn.

    Will the Tories or the Lib Dems put up against Rantzen?

  5. well presumably lib dems and labour withdrawing is not actually illegal.
    Ballot rigging is.
    The BBC would have been in breach of its charter if it had actually done what you claim.
    Did you/anyone make a formal complaint and how was it dealt with.
    "Ballot rigging" in this case is hyperbole.

  6. Whatever illness it was that you had that caused you to be hospitalised, Lindsay, I want it to come back and finish you off. If these words come back and haunt me it will only be because it didn't come back and finish you off.

  7. Anonymous, that's a horrible thing to say!

    It's people like you who give us nameless cowards a bad reputation.
