In my opinion this says more about the "friend" than John Ashworth. But anyway, did we not already know that there are a lot of Labour MPs who don't like Jeremy Corbyn? Are there any Conservatives who don't like Boris Johnson?
Yesterday our sociopath PM showed his true colours again and Tory party "sources" threw an entirely mendacious dead cat to Laura Keunssberg which she tweeted to her 1 million + followers as the truth, as did Robert Peston. Matt Hancock, who was actually there, also tweeted a blatant lie. Luckily there's film of the non-incident exposing their lies and on the plus side, the recording of Johnson behaving like the entitled ignorant sociopath he is has circulated widely.
In a sane world I would have woken up this morning to the news that Laura Keunssberg had been sacked. Instead she tweeted an "apology" for the "confusion". There was no confusion, she passed on lies without checking their veracity. That is not journalism. The BBC news department is currently a disgrace (and I've taken into account Outrider's spirited defence, which I would have agreed with about 10 years ago).
The BBC and NHS were examples of how socialised organisations can deliver very good services to the benefit of everyone. The NHS has been chopped up and undermined gradually since Thatcher introduced an entirely unnecessary and benefit-free "internal market" and few seem to notice, let alone care that their tax money is being pocketed by billionaires instead of paying for sufficient doctors and nurses. (Blair and his light-blue government continued the trend, the wholesale use of PFI being the most outrageous example.) BBC news has been infiltrated by Tory activists (have a look at Nick Robinson's CV) who will be happy to see Auntie dead and in her grave. It's what Rupert wants.
Keunssberg said she had "two sources" for the lie she put out - she meant two Tories had told her lies she didn't check. She's been reprimanded for misrepresenting what Jeremy Corbyn said in an interview with her. Why is she still political editor of BBC News?
The BBC are reporting that nobody is really interested in the election, only a few organised Labour trouble-makers turn up to politicians' visits. Find the film of Corbyn at a rally in Bristol. Ask yourself why it wasn't on the BBC news last night.
If anyone would like to accuse me of being indoctrinated, please explain which of my points is incorrect and I'll explain, source it or retract. I think my views are based in reality but am always open to being shown I'm wrong.
