| Are you thinking that with so much Government propaganda and 'interference' now is the time to adjust your sets? |
Proudly
telling you what the government wants you to think.

I'VE been
a huge critic of the BBC for a long time, so it may surprise a lot of people to
know that I worked for them for a while.
Considering
the money they waste and how much the top brass are paid, working for the BBC
in an 'ordinary' capacity isn't going to make you rich; in fact the pay is
crap. But I'm really glad I spent some time working for 'auntie'. For starters
I enjoyed the work and especially the interaction with listeners, but best of
all it gave me a useful insight into a totally dysfunctional organisation that
nowadays is nothing more than the mouthpiece of the Bullshit Factory aka The
Establishment.
There are
some good people working for the Beeb, but largely it's infested with middle
class, posh people from privileged backgrounds and top universities who have no
idea what it's like in the real world. Arse and elbow spring to mind.
A recent
story that featured on BBC Breakfast illustrates my point perfectly. They
reported on a survey that showed personal saving in the UK was at an all-time
low and queried why.
Well,
I'll tell them why: just about every working class person in the country is on
the bones of their arse. They can barely put food on the table every month and
pay for fuel and electricity without stashing a few hundred quid every month
into a flaming ISA or a savings account.
The
further down the pecking order you go, the worse it is. It's no wonder that pay
day loan sharks like Wonga (big Tory donors) are reporting record profits. No
wonder also that Food Banks are opening up across the nation at alarming rates.
