Pacific Quay Musings?

Perhaps the national broadcaster, and its staff,  hope, possibly against hope, that the whole farrago can, and will, be explained by the doctrine of the honest mistake. 

The staff, of course, will be unlikely to wager any part of their over generous salaries on this 

Proposition.

Its about time the BBC was sold off

Not that it will be news to anyone, but Tom Oirish has been on his twitter feed deliberately misrepresenting the claims made in The Times article.

 

He thinks he is untouchable. Just waiting on Derek Ferguson or Kris Boyd or anyone else taking him to task on their next conflab show. 

 

Oops. I'll probably have fingernails longer than Howard Hughes by the time that ever comes to pass...

BBC Scotland's TV news bulletin included an in-studio piece with Happy Hibby, Douglas Fraser. His designation is given as, Business/Economy Editor. In reality, he is just another PQ long term Rangers hater.

 

Anyways, his two minute analysis of latest developments was an exercise in running interference. My favourite part came after he self-asked, "what effect does this have on the team currently playing at Ibrox"?

 

Today's mantra in the PQ Gang Hut is, 'Rangers can never be wronged'.

Today on the Media Review forty-five minutes, DrStu' ended with a critique on the BBC. He stated the part of the UK with the fewest paying the License Fee per head of population, was Scotland.

 

Of course, DrStu' blamed the non payment on those involved in the Scottish independence movement NOT receiving the self confident BBC they deserve.

 

RANK HYPOCRISY from the worst offender in spending a decade referring to Rangers and Rangers supporters as, 'H-u-ns' on his co-hosted show, 'Off the Ball'. What other grouping are both marginalised and demonised in such a way?

themanthebeastscanttame has a presentation issue. The content is usually a pointer in a direction; however, rarely arrives at a conclusion. The above is a case in point, he suggests BBC Scotland long term Producer, Paul Bradley was behind the RTC Blog? I cannot confirm or deny this accusation, but Bradley was, and is a player in the game. He is a habitual facilitator in aiding the likes of Phil McFournames, Chris McLaughlin, Angela Haggerty, ............... etc.

 

Let's go back a dozen years, an old firm game at Ibrox before the fixture split. The game ended 1-1, Hemdani volleying an injury time equaliser. The match kicked-off at noon, BBC Radio Scotland's scheduled a documentary from 11.30 until noon entitled, 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. The Producer and Presenter of the propaganda piece was Paul Bradley. Of course, 2007 was before a dozen Producer resignations from the larger BBC. Remember, it was found across the radio and TV shows that Producers were telephoning in those shows, to boost dramatic content, win the prizes, and make pertinent micro/macro political points. There were several  high profile casualties, Paul Bradley was NOT one of them.

 

You'll Never Walk Alone' was a calamity. Paul and a few of his BBC Scotland Producing pals(although they never revealed their designations during the production) told lies about it being the definitive Sellik song. Those of us old enough remember when Liverpool supporters sang the song for a decade and a half, without the bold Bhoys paying homage. The song derives from the Musical, 'Carousel', and is about suicide.

 

Paul and pals got very emotional, ie how the song speaks to them as individuals and as a collective. Paul told of raising his scarf, closing his eyes, and thinking of his deceased Mother. The song had similar deep meanings for all Sellik supporters. Of course, BBC Scotland sport realised thirty minutes of YNWA on a loop before an Ibrox old firm game was a set-up, and promised to play Simply the Best after the game. They did, I don't know why? Sacking Paul Bradley would have been far more appropriate. Paul would go on to put Phil McFournames on the radio, standing in for a contrived absence of mid-afternoon DJ, Tom Morton. I kid you not, Phil got thirty minutes as, 'Bosco' whilst Morton was broadcasting from his home in Shetland.

 

Today, Bradley's extra-curricula activities are all about doing football training with professional clubs in an effort to loose weight. His deceased Mother would be proud of him.

The victims of Torbett, Cairney and co certainly know all about walking alone.

Yesterday, on BBC Scotland's 'Daily Politics Scotland' Gordon Brewer hosted a thirty minute political debate on the up coming General Election. The panel was former long term Labour MP, Anne McGuire, Ramsay Jones, former Tory Party Adviser, Siobhan Mathers, Liberal Democrat Adviser, and Angela Haggerty, described as a Journalist. Please note, no formal SNP representation. Last Sunday was the same, three representitives from Labour, Tories, and Liberals; and Angela Haggerty the Journalist. Further, Haggerty appeared on Question Time as a supposed neutral Journalist.

 

Again, it's BBC Producers who are facilitating this scam; however, the SNP have questions to answer too. If they decide to withdraw representation or ignore the call to provide, are they comfortable that Haggerty represents the party position?

 

Surely, other Journalists involved must stand up for fellow Journo, Lyra McKee? Angela cannot accept Lyra was murdered by the IRA, because it's inconvenient to her preferred narrative. Time for this piece of theatre to be called out.
