Channel 4 news are a disgrace on Prince Harry

I've just stopped watching channel 4 news trying to stir up trouble between British Muslims and Prince Harry.

They dug out Catherine Heseltine - who is a spokesperson for some Muslim group who tried to dance on the head of a pin and use words to confuse fighting the Taliban and civilians. She a disgrace to herself.

But the Channel 4 tried their luck at Friday prayers. The reported Muslim responses were sensible and even patriotic. It seemed people understood he was part of the army and that's what's the army's doing there - no luck for Jon Snow there.

But then he could hardly contain himself interviewing some left wing politician and an ex-Islamacist. The Muslim man was again reasonable - measured and the the point - the only extreme stuff came from Jon Snow's questions or the white left wing bloke they had on.

Frankly this is some of the worst trawling for a particular view point in the most disgusting and irresponsible manner I have ever seen on Channel 4 news.

They should fire Jon Snow for it. Frankly the extremists are the editorial staff and presenters of Channel 4 news !

Update See also Charles Moore of the Daily Telegraph who's not impressed by Jon Snow either.

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.
