BBC's Question Time - 12/02/2009
Why does Mr David Dimbleby allow his programme to be used for political propaganda? Today Justine Greening of the Tory Party capitalised on Mr Dimbleby's failure to stop this sort of political shenanigan. Do the Tory party understand the word GLOBAL? The current world economic crisis is not of Gordon Brown's making. The ToryParty and their supporters benefitted more than Labour supporters, yet both they and a large section of the British media seemed to tag the current difficulties onthe Prime Minister, Mr Gordon Brown personally. Do they really hate this man so much that even things beyond his control are blamed on him? Are the British so fickle?

BBC's Buffoons
Jonathan Ross} for making silly and obscene telephone calls to Mr Sachs
Russell Brand}
Carol Thatcher - calling a French Tennis Player a Golliwog
Jeremy Clarkson - insults to the British prime Minister.
Over the past few months, we have witnessed a host of BBC's over paid so called celebrity presenters making idiots of themselves in the name of entertainment. First, was Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's highly offensive and irresponsible telephone calls to Mr Sachs and lewd reference to his grand-daughter. BBC did not see it fit to act until the public expressed their disapproval. Surprisingly, some people felt the need to defend what I thought was indefensible.
Next came Carol Thatcher and her reference to a French tennis player as a golliwog. I was shocked to hear and read this in the media. Despite BBC's effort to get her to apologise, she refused - because the comment was made in the so - called Green Room. The Green Room was not Miss Thatcher's home, it was part of the corporation's building. We expected the daughter of our former Prime Minister to have some decorum - Miss Thatcher has shown that those who expect us to abide by certain standards fall below the standards they set for the rest of US. In BBC's Question Time, I heard certain people defending Miss Carol Thatcher. For example, the incoherent Will Young argued that Britain was becoming too "vanilla". If Britain had not become too vanilla, homosexuals like him will not have any say in society. May be he sees racism as different from gay hate.
Finally, we have Jeremy Clarkson, whose remarks over the years have gone unpunished - possibly because in the main, they were not too offensive. But to go to Australia and make the most heinous of remarks shows how these idiots have come to see themselves as UNTOUCHABLES! But Jeremy Claskson's attack on Gordon Brown is one among many. Conservative and Liberal politicians and the British press have attacked Mr Brown on so many fronts - even when the issues in question have very little to do with him. During the Northern rock difficulties, both the Liberal and Conservative leaders made some personal attacks on Mr Brown in attempts to score cheap political points. It is therefore not surprising to have someone like Jeremy Clarkson take a swipe for a cheap laugh. But has Jeremy Clarkson ever looked at himself in the mirror??
BBC must revise how and who they recruit. Carol Thatcher, Jeremy Clarkson, Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross have no excuse. Carol Thatcher's refusal to apologise shows how these individuals' egos have overtaken their common sense. They have come to see themselves as above everyone else. People who commented that they used to play with these toys (golliwog)as children have forgotten how racist Britain was. These toys were devised to demean and denigrate non white children. Britain has moved on since the 1960 and 1970's difficulties - in terms of race relations. It is time BBC and other firms take a firms stand against stupidity.
