BBC spinning over bullying allegations

The allegations of bullying of staff within 10 Downing Street is being turned into a political argument by the spindoctors of Number 10 and its propaganda unit, the BBC.

This morning on BBC Breakfast, there was an interview with Christine Pratt, the founder of the National Bullying Hotline. The BBC interviewer was looking to attack the source of the allegations and not the allegations themselves.

The BBC has turned this bullying story from one of a workplace problem into a political one by following the reasoning that the bullying hotline has links to the Conservative party.

The propaganda unit has gone into full time damage limitation in order to protect the Glorious Leader.

The National Bullying Hotline has endorsements from David Cameron and has Ann Widdecombe as a patron.

It would appear that New Labour doesn't like it when the opposition gets some ammunition to attack the gurning, nosepicking, angry, incompetent incumbent of Number 10.

If you don't want to get bitten, don't release your attack dogs in the first place.

  1. Ann Widdecombe - a leading conservative - and three other patrons have resigned from being Trustees - complaining that Pratt acted inappropriately in this matter. Are they all apologists for Gordon Brown and the Labour Party:?

  2. Hilarious. Yesterday, Labour bloggers were complaining because the BBC had reported NBH's claims without mentioning its strong links to the Conservative Party. Now that those links have been mentioned, Tory bloggers are up in arms. Yesterday, the BBC's was David Cameron's propaganda machine. Today it is Gordon Brown's. The BBC can't win - whatever it does, aparatchiks on one side or the other will accuse it of bias.
