    Hang on. Boris seems to have said a Conservative thing.

    "You have to question whether that way of funding media still makes sense... how long can you justify a system where everyone who has a TV has to pay?”

    That should put the frighteners on the lefty ****s.

    If Boris sorts out the electoral boundary issue so that the Trots no longer have an unfair advantage, empties the BBC of the current sewage that infests it, and closes down Channel 4 news, I will take back all the bad things I’ve said about him.

    I agree. The boundaries thing yet another one of the negative consequences of May píssing away Cameron's majority.

    What’s potentially really exciting is that if Labour lose this election, they’ll have parachuted enough hard left candidates into safe seats that they’ll have a complete stranglehold over the party as a whole. Previously, the PLP has been the last bastion of moderation, but that change will make it well-nigh impossible for even vaguely moderate MPs to stay in the party and will ensure that Corbynism outlives Corbyn.

    We could finally be looking at the end of the road for Labour as a governing party.

    15% would suit me just nicely, thank you.

    I think Sir C may have been referring to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War and the ultimate defeat of the murderous and evil Communist regime that liberated hundreds of millions of people from misery and inhuman bondage.

    But yeah, high interest rates. That's obviously more important.

    Needless to say, this has totally thrown all the Corbynistas who are bizarrely convinced that the BBC is somehow a tory mouthpiece.

    The bbc like most organisations doesn’t bite the hand that feeds it. I remember how they treated Kinniock, Smith, Foot et al. Even Blair got it in the neck until he became the pay master. All of a sudden the tone changed when he was elected. If Labour want the beebs balance to change they need to win an election.

    Wait,Nate we talking about the same BBC? The one with the carefully selected studio audiences ensuring it efficiently carries out its role as Momentum’s propaganda arm?
