More Thompson drivel
A promising headline in the Guardian:
BBC launches action to rebuild trust.What might that be, one wonders? Put an editor who isn't a knee jerk liberal in charge of news? Scrap the ludicrous BBC3 and sack the corporation's pen pushers?
In a speech entitled The Trouble with Trust: Building Confidence in Institutions, to be given in Westminster's Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, he will promise new multimedia portals to reconnect parliament with the public.Ah yes, of course. New multimedia portals. That's what's been missing. New multimedia portals.

January 18th, 2008 8:22amHa! "to reconnect parliament to the public" is BBC newspeak for rolling out even more New Labour government propaganda. As Lefties they have spent years subverting what was once the establishment on behalf of their Soviet/Marxist paymasters. Now the social structure of the country is in complete shambles they talk about the need for confidence and trust and lecture us on behalf of the a pompous, self-satisfied, self-serving nanny government dragging us towards totalitarianism. Good job BBC!
