To me the BBC has become a total mystery and I genuinely wonder “what is it for ?” When it comes to news and telling it truthfully, it long ago lost its crown to CNN. As for drama series, it is willing to plough lots of money into things like EastEnders but precious little into anything ground breaking and original.

When I look at the BBC, because of its Licence Fee income, I see it as a Premiership football club that can lose every match in a season yet, never get relegated. I find it both strange and a total failure of imagination on their part, not to have used this unique posture to really try out some exciting stuff.

A Glasgow By-Election

To be totally honest, I’m not too sure what this is all about. I want Labour and Brown to continue in Government until May 2010 so that we are all suitably softened up for the following 3-4 years of ‘remedial action’ to sort out the mess that Labour has left us in.

Why this particular Scottish MP resigned and the manner of it, seems all rather odd but then, it is Scottish politics clearly and, for Scottish people to dispose of as they see fit.

However I do have a really big gripe with the BBC that to me seems far more important: That poisonous little twerp Blears says following the Boris Johnson Deputy Mayor “resignation” thing in London. “Tories in Disarray !” and that is a BBC headline on their web front page which would be fair enough on a slow news day but…

Here we have a Labour safe seat with a 13,500 majority at the last election ( a hamster with a Labour rosette could win it), and the preferred Labour candidate declines and regardless of the reasons, where were the equivalent BBC headlines saying; “Labour in meltdown in Glasgow by-election”, none what-so-ever.

Whoever we vote for, Right, Left or Up Your Bottom we all pay our TV Licence fees and what we don’t pay for is some snotty little BBC employee working out his or her ‘political issues’, fair is fair and the BBC now seems both corrupt and out of control.
