Will the BBC ask the tough questions?

Friday blog

In my Thursday blog I quoted a number of political party leaders demanding a General Election after the ruling Tories changed their party leader and thus our prime minister. These lying, blethering, self-serving, wothless, greedy, hypocritical scum ( sorry, of course I meant ‘these noble, self-sacrificing public servants‘) all stressed how important it was for our democracy that a change of prime minister should always lead to a General Election.

All the quotes I used yesterday came from an article on the BBC website in October 2022 just after Liz ‘lettuce’ Truss’s resignation as prime minister.

If you watch the BBC, you’ll have been bombarded by ‘ads’ by the BBC about how brilliant their BBC Verify operation is and you’ll have seen over and over and over and over again clips like the one below in which the BBC boasts of itself as a champion of the truth:

So, now that the BBC has verified quotes from the main party leaders about how important it was to defend democracy by having a General Election each time a party changes prime minister, will our courageous BBC truth warriors be asking our politicians – particularly Labour MPs and ministers – why they have suddenly changed their minds and no longer feel it is important to defend democracy by having an election when Starmer is replaced?

Please don’t hold your breath as I wouldn’t want to be held responsible for any injuries caused by this blog.

As I wrote yesterday, here’s the real reason our mainstream political party politicians are now somewhat less enthusiastic than before about defending democracy by having a General Election:

If there was a new General Election, I believe Labour would win but with a much reduced majority. However, there would be a massive increase in the number of seats won by Nigel Farage’s and Richard Tice’s Reform – possibly winning as many as 100 to 150 seats and replacing the Tories as the main opposition party. This would mean a large number of Labour, LibDem and Tory MPs losing their well-paid jobs, almost unlimited expense accounts and unbelievably generous pensions.

And that’s not something the main party leaders would want. So there will be no General Election and a political coup will give Britain’s most anti-British socialist government so much power to crush free speech, arrest its opponents and gerrymander the electoral system so that there may never be a British patriotic government ever again.

As for the UK-hating, lefty, truth-allergic BBC, don’t expect them to embarrass our rulers by asking them why they have lost interest in defending democracy when Labour changes leader and thus prime minister, when this was apparently so important when the Tories did it.
