The BBC can stay away from our children’s political education
Just days after Dizzy Thinks revealed that the Liberal Democrat Youth and Students would be renamed Hitler Liberal Youth, Iain Dale has discovered that the BBC want to brainwash the next generation of voters with their Liberal propaganda.
During a speech on trust (how ironic!), the Director General of the BBC, Mark Thompson, said they aim to “”transform the way the BBC connects with British democracy”. This would be achieved by establishing “the world’s most creative multimedia portal which will offer comprehensive political coverage and analysis to every secondary school in the UK”.”
What worries me most is that the “portal will give children the BBC’s analysis of issues such as the European Union Treaty”. In other words, the BBC is going to destroy competitivity in the political education market, whilst manipulating its monopoly to ensure their biased “analysis” is foisted upon every student in the UK!
As Iain Dale said, “not all of us want children emerging from the educational system with a BBC-engendered outlook”. No, some of us want children emerging from the educational system with the ability to think for themselves politically!

Would you suggest that people leaving education with an opinion (albeit a BBC view) is better than people leaving with no idea about politics or current affairs?
Not when that opinion is influenced by a single viewpoint, I wouldn’t!
At the moment in G&P, we are able to look at the views from all perspectives and make our own minds up.
If the BBC were allowed to plough ahead with this, using taxpayers’ money, they would seriously endanger the competition and effectively monopolise political education.
Yeah, I think your right. People seem to be ignorant to current events. It shows when we do quizes in Economics (about once a week), and people don’t know that anything is going on in Kenya, or the price of Oil, things like that. I always get the ones about celebrities and music wrong though!
I’m the same – I always get the music and popular culture ones wrong.
No-one ever told me that DJs need to know about music
Haha, true enough.
Judging by what you listen to anyway, your knowledge of GOOD music is exceptionally poor!!!
Hey my taste in music isn’t *that* bad – plus the point about being a DJ isn’t to play what you like, but what the people in the room want.
That is quite right. Do you ever do some freestyling?
