Yet more proof of BBC left/liberal bias
 
The Saturday Play (R4 2.30pm Saturday) was very entertaining, but it
was also an hour of almost undiluted socialist clap trap. I don't mind
that, but will they put on a play next week that's an hour of right
wing clap trap, just to even things up? I very much doubt it.

What was that good advice you posted a mere 60 minutes or so previously?

So a play about a famous Socialist (George Orwell) was socialist? Would
you also accuse a play about Hitler of being undiluted fascistic clap
trap?

When there is a similar play about Hitler we can see what Bill says.

I'd advise you not to hold your breath waiting for it though....

How do you know that the play you listened to wasn't, itself, balance
for an earlier piece from the other end of the political spectrum.
Maybe a programme you didn't catch.

Was an opinion ever expressed concerning "Der Untergang" when the
Film 4 screened the movie?

Also why was there not an opinion expressed concerning the
documentary on BBC Radio 4

"Hitler's Muslim Legions"

available at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t3ybj

Only TWO, yes that's TWO days left to listen!

The play included several monologues extolling socialist values.
That's fine, but can you point me to a play about a famous right wing
figure with a similar amount of propagangist baggage?

There's been no such play. Prove me wrong. It should be easy if in
fact I am wrong.

That was another example of covert BBC lefty propaganda. 'The Muslims
were sucked into supporting Fascism. Really they're just like us.' How
patronising, both of Muslims and of others.

Maybe now with the change we might see more 'centre of the road' people
getting promoted in the BBC but I doubt it - they are so well ensconced. You
only have to watch them turning up for work with their Guardians and Voice's
tucked in their briefcases but still showing, almost like a badge of honour,
to realise just HOW leftwing the BBC really has become.

Can you name any?

The writers that come immediately to my mind are
Evelyn Waugh and Kingsley Amis. Both have received at
least as much recent media coverage as Orwell, though
they were really social conservatives and not known
for writing directly about politics. Amis was also an
ex-Communist who moved to the right. Perhaps Orwell
would have followed the same path if he'd lived
longer. After all, isn't he most famous for
satirising communism?

Truly "right-wing" public figures do not generally get
sympathetic media coverage. Almost invariably, they
are seen as opportunists with no real convictions
other than a desire for power and a lack of scruples
over exploiting popular anxieties.

I'm sure you could write an hour of right wing clap trap.

It does raise the question of who do one consider to be a truly
"right-wing" public figure.

Tony Bliar.
Andrew Lloyd Webber.

to name but two.

In the 1997 election a lot of right wing celebs including Lloyd Webber
said they would leave the country if Labour won. I'm still
waiting.....
