The Axis of Evil……examples

An occasional series……

Number 1: Rupert Fucking Murdoch and his lackeys….

OK, the reason I have listed Rupe and gang is that I fundamentally believe this man, along with his corporate cock sucking lackeys, Rebekah Wade (The Scum...sorry Sun), Kelvin MacKenzie (Talk Shite.....sorry Sport), plus the incestuous James Murdoch (the son and heir to the Empire) are trying to undermine and one of this country’s crown jewels…The BBC. Now I know I have criticised the Beeb in the past (too many repeats, letting ITV win rights to The Premiership, Gimme Gimme Gimme etc) but fundamentally the Beeb is the only place where I would turn to get my news in a time of crisis. And yes, they get things wrong (Hutton et al) but they are publicly accountable and when this happens we all see what they do to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Unlike The Scum which rarely apologises for errors, and when it does prints them in small type on some backwater page.

Years ago I believed the licence fee was a rip off but now for £121 I think the fact that I get BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, BBC News 24, Radio1, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, the excellent Radio 5Live , 6Music, BBC7, 5Live extra, regional radio, a top web site and a World Service listened to by 150,000,000 or so people around the globe, some of whom use this as their only real source of unbiased news and the truth of what may be happening in their part of the world, plus Christ only knows what else for 33 pence a day, with no poxy ads or pop ups is spot on value. Now Big Rupe, as Private Eye like to call him The Dirty Digger, and gang don’t think this is right. In fact they want the Beeb to be broken up, sold off and be funded via free market forces.

But The Scum has got it in for the Corporation – now with Uncle Michael Grade in the bigger chair than the DG (Mark Thompson, Grade’s chosen son) – as it prepares to make its case for the 2006 Charter renewal. The increasingly fractious and desperate, not too mention lunatic paper since Rebekah Wade was installed as Rupe’s Mouth Organ in the editor's seat, will do anything (yeah,,,anything if you ask me…) to promote Shite...sorry Sky Television and hammer the BBC in Big Rupe’s mission for world and Universal media ownership.

"The BBC has got too grand and is too large. It’s time to sell it off." says the complete fucking idiot and village fool Kelvin MacKenzie…"It would be a shameful waste of our money if the BBC were permitted to continue to squander millions competing with commercial ventures."

Twat – so you have no vested interest eh Prick. Oh yeah, 5live has the footie rights for the Premiership, you don't....and Rupe owns most of Talk Sport doesn’t he…..ooooh open that arse just a little wider Kelvin….don’t want any discomfort for the big man do you? Tell me what’s it like to be his bitch?

”But…” I hear people saying as they fold their copy of The Scum and tune the radio into Talk Shite or switch the TV onto the increasingly dire and laughable Sky One…..”why should we pay a £121 TV licence fee?" So, I repeat….. You get eight advertising-free TV channels, five advertising-free radio networks, a nation stack of national advert free digital radio networks, national radio for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in English and local dialects …errr with no ads, dozens of local radio stations and regional TV studios….again with no ads, the world's best website ….pop-up free and errr….no adverts, and a Government funded World Service listened to by 150,000,000 people.

Sky Television, also owned by the Big Rupe, who also owns The Scum, and has an increased shareholding in Talk Shite radio, apparently would love to remove the average British household of four hundred smackers a year. Let’s look at what you get……

Loads of mainly crap channels, including film channels that were originally ad-free but that again was quietly dropped in favour of “maximising revenue streams”.

No regional programming (like I say barely any UK programming unless you count the endless “holiday rep/ teenagers abroad/people from hell/ arses on the beach” type tabloid trash TV that Sky One shows.

20 minutes of ads per hour, including an ad break TWO MINUTES…yes TWO MINUTES after the start of the programme.

So, you pay them each month to watch shite TV plus the ads that you’re….errrr…also paying for. In anyone’s books that is absolutely outrageous (if not brilliant!)

I’ll forgive them for the excellent Sky Sports channels which are an example to both the Beeb and especially ITV on how to cover even the dullest of sports and make them seem exciting. My god , look at how they marketed the Darts as an example of supremely good marketing.

Next in the Series….yeah the Daily Facist Mail
