Hysterical Humphrys Over-yells Osborne

Yesterday's confirmation of this blog's assessment of the continuing horrible state of the British economy came when figures proved the recession continued through the third quarter. Discussing this on the BBC flagship Radio 4 political programme "Today" the smug, sarcastic and economics ignorant presenter John Humphrys repeatedly shouted down the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. Readers may possibly hear this repeated on the web if they choose, the interview occurred at from eight-thirty to about a quarter to nine, it is not yet on the Listen Again facility. Earlier this week we called for the immediate resignation of George Osborne for his lack of sensible alternative economic policies for the opposition during the past four years. We now have added reason to call for this immature young man's departure. Any Shadow Chancellor of substance would have sternly reprimanded and thoroughly dressed down the hysterical BBC interviewer and demanded an apolgy on the spot. It is clear that the BBC is intent upon the destruction of the wealth and morals of the nation so they can hardly be expected to remove the slimy John Humphrys from their bloated payroll, who with countless others spread their daily poison across the airwaves. The opposition must find figures who command such respect and grasp of their subjects that these awful interview techniques can be squashed at the moment they begin - that calls for hard men (or women selected on merit) not wimps.
