Boris Johnson and the BBC

Via EU Referendum and Christopher Booker's Telegraph column I learn that Mayor Boris is calling for the next BBC supremo to be a Tory:

The Mayor of London insists the corporation, which is funded by the taxpayer, must be run by someone who is “free-market” and “pro-business”.

Boris, chum, I'm sure you mean well, but try to think things through. You need to be consistent. If you believe in free markets, follow the logic, apply that logic to the BBC. It cannot be changed from what it is by sticking some smart Alec free-trade Tory in the big chair (supposing you could find a free-trade Tory), any more than you can change a pack of wolves by appointing Larry the Lamb as the alpha male.

A BBC spokeswoman said: "BBC News is committed to impartiality and we reject Boris Johnson's assertions of bias.

I'd laugh but I'm snarling too much. Cutting to the chase; the BBC must be smashed. It is a propaganda machine, funded by coercion, cranking out disinformation for the benefit of the establishment (e.g. in its 'coverage' of the war on Libya). It cannot be expected to be impartial, when it is part of the Leviathan state. It has influence which Murdoch at his height could only dream of. It is not needed and it never was needed, any more than a government-run newspaper, funded through a tax on reading.

The fact that it has produced some good programmes over the years does not change its essential illegitimacy. If people love it so much, and I don't doubt many do, then they will continue to support it, once it is prevented from using the violence of the state to enforce its monopoly power.

As for the new Director General, I nominate Sean Gabb.

The BBC: disgusting pro-communist propaganda

Karl Marx: the deference he deserves - get in the water, you fucker!

If this isn't enough for all good people to start demanding the end of the compulsory television tax, I don't know what is: the BBC worshipping Karl fucking Marx, proclaiming the patron of mass murder, the fraudster, the self-refuting bourgeois parasite extraordinaire, to be right.

Personally I don't own a television, so don't pay the tax. I don't really need to delve deeply into the article, because I know all the false arguments it will use, because they were debunked over 100 years ago. The BBC is a ridiculous, indefensible affront to liberty, and must be resisted.

END THE MARXIST TELEVISION TAX

FUCK THE BBC - DIRTY COMMIE RATS

Don't listen to experts, experts say

Whenever the descendants of Goebbels have a new measure of tyrannical control to sell, you will find it described as research and those pushing the hateful liberty-destroying plan will always be referred to as experts. It's as if that word alone is enough to justify the idea, no matter how loathsome.

A prime example of such propaganda from the Ministry of Truth is a piece entitled; "Global governments 'must get tough on obesity", with the sub-heading;

"Tougher action - including taxing junk food - is needed by all governments if the obesity crisis is going to be tackled, experts say."

Experts in what? One supposes, given the subject, experts in nutrition. But that in itself does not explain what they are calling for, because in addition to their purported expertise in nutrition, they must also be of a certain political persuasion, otherwise they would not be calling for such tyrannical government action.

It is one thing to release reports on public health, it is quite another to lobby for tyrannical laws. Only state-worshipping, jackboot-licking scum would do that, and therefore, given this unavoidable fact, why on earth would we consider their research to be worthy of consideration? With their ernest desire to inflict tyrannical control over individuals clear for all to see, knowing as we do such people will say anything to push forward such tyrannical goals, we cannot possibly trust a word they have said.

And I should know. I'm an expert in these matters.
