Today prog interview of David Cameron - BBC usual bias

I'm finally sick to the back teeth of John Humphrys interview technique. Its time for him to go. His interviews appear to me as more about his own ego - and perhaps political affiliations - than about informing the public.

He just wasted most of the interview with Mr Cameron going on about a car following his bicycle into work. And even then wouldn't wait for an answer.

Dear Mr Humphrys the local elections are on Thursday - don't you think you should have asked about those ?

You can listen again on the BBC's excellent service and if you agree with me then their complaints department is here ....

Unfortunately BBC Southern counties radio has switched to the core BBC message also - with the recent departure of some great presenters. Their opening headline - Tony Blair to campaign in Northern England ( not informative for their area - bias as no mention of other party leaders - and failing to point out David Cameron was actually in their region today !! ).

When the Conservatives get back in power, then the BBC needs to be dismembered and fixed.

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
