The fucking Beeb have been in
full attack mode over Dan Hannan's criticisms of the
appallingly run tickbox-driven monolith that is the NHS (an NHS run by the people who
actually know about the pressures and demands of front line care is a different issue altogether).
In reading the article, I notice some smart, almost derogatory use of language in order to subtly make its point. First up:
"Labour has stepped up its criticism of Daniel Hannan, who waded into the debate over Barack Obama's health bill."
"Waded"? What you mean he actually barged in wearing fucking wellingtons and a fishing hat? That's Hannan successfully made to look like an arrogant dictatorial cunt (...or, the Tories secretly want to leave Americans to die by defending their filthy capitalist health system). It also states that Labour has "stepped up" its critcism of Hannan. This incident only happened yesterday, for fucks sake! For criticism to be "stepped up" would insinuate that Hannan has always been under fire, which is the second subtle "The Tories are out of line with the British population" hint.
Next we have this:
"He has stressed that these are his own views and not those of the party - but they were backed by fellow Tory MEP Roger Helmer, who told BBC Radio 4's PM programme: 'I think Dan has done us a service by raising these issues which need to be looked at.'"
Look, Dan's lying! The fact he says they are his own views before being backed up by another Tory suggests a division in communication tactics, but a sense of unity in sentiment regarding the NHS. Fucking smart on part of the Boshevik Broadcasting Corporation, right??
And finally:
"And he [Health Secretary Andy Burnham] hit back at criticism that the government had not done enough to defend the NHS from attacks in the US."
Those nasty Americans! "Attacking" our health system... But not just any Americans, these are anti-Al-Ubama Americans (i.e. religious right nutters).
Reading the rest of the article, it becomes apparent that the BBC's narrative is that anyone who goes against Bollock Hussein Al-Ubama's big socialist dream is a shady conman (read below the heading "Duped") OR they are simply insulting the good front line workers that most people, myself included, respect a lot.
One critical question is missing from this appraisal for me - nobody seems to ask why Hannan would ever present such views. Only Cameron's rubuttal is presented, and this merely serves the purpose of making the Tories seem divided.
The Boshevik Broadcasting Corporation. Biased as fucking fuck with no alternative views allowed.
Wholly publicly funded cunts who don't represent the public as a whole.
Twats.
