Not content with insisting on referring to rioters, arsonists and looters as 'protestors' throughout its live coverage of our recent national trauma, the BBC seems now to be devoting most of its news gathering resources to rounding up the thickest, stupidest, most ignorant morons it can find on street corners throughout the land and giving them ten minutes each on its so-called World News to tell us all things like: the riots are Cameron's fault for being away sunnin' 'imself on 'oliday like, then comin' 'ome to plot wiv the cops against us, yeh; an' they're 'is fault 'cos we ain't got no jobs like yeh, an' we ain't got nothing to do nor anywhere to go like yeh; an' like we're only doing like what 'im an' them MPs like did on the fiddle like, yeh; or like what them bankers did like, yeh.
Given that they clearly have absolutely zero understanding of reality, and that they are unable to make any utterance which comes even remotely close to having any grammatical structure at all, it is clear that the reason they are unemployed is that only a raving lunatic would offer them a job of any kind. That is of course, apart from those fitting the above description who it turned out DID have jobs, all presumably in the public sector of course, government bodies being sufficiently raving lunatic to employ them; or, to put it another way, not giving a shit because it wouldn't be their own money going down the plughole. One of them actually had a job as a teacher.
Ed Miliband then spends the day going round the TV studios saying pretty much the same things as these morons are saying, and in language only marginally more coherent. We need a public inquiry to find out the causes he says. And is it any surprise, he says, that these kids do this when they see bankers getting fat etc, etc. Of course none of this excuses rioting and arson and looting, he says. Look Ed, if you say it explains it you are saying it caused it, and if you say it caused it you are saying it excuses it. Worse than that, you are saying we have to make a deal with the rioters: if they'll stop rioting we'll stop the bankers giving themselves big bonuses etc. etc.
There is of course one legitimate question that needs anwering in the longer term: how in God's name did we got ourselves into this mess? Which politicians and which parties are to blame? Which of them should never be allowed anywhere near ministerial office again? If that's what Ed means by a public inquiry, let's by all means have it, but let it be run only by a top judge without a single politician, sociologist, educationist, economist or any other ist or academic allowed within a million miles of the drafting of its final report. I fear you won't like its findings Ed.
Meanwhile, there is the little question of what to do about the immediate problem, which no amount of public inquiring or stamping on bankers' bonuses or even on bankers' necks is going to make one ha'peth of difference to. What WILL make quite a big difference is making life for the morons as hellish hell as they are trying to make life for us. That, Mr Cameron, is what we need and expect from you, what Ed Miliband calls knee-jerk reactions, and fast.
The other thing you can do is set in motion the process of ending the compulsory TV licence and forcing the BBC to sink or swim on the basis of the willingness of people to pay for the stuff it puts out. I'm sorry, but when the BBC decides that its proper role in a national emergency such as this is to give maximum air time to the morons who are the cause of it and to anyone who wants to spread the idea that it's not really their fault but the fault of Tories and bankers, the BBC has really lost the plot and it's time for it to go.
