      What is "Right Wing" ?

      The BBC supports every nationalist movement in the UK, except one, which objectively cold be seen as right wing bias, the fact that to get BBC and general media support the Welsh/Scottish and Irish nationalists have tried quite hard to look left wing does add complexity.

      Recall that being pro-Europe was originally a Tory thing that most of the Labour party fought in the referendum to join.

      It is now mostly a right wing thing, but most issues simply aren't "left" or "right" wing.

      In most countries the Christian churches cosy up to the most right wing party they can find that has a realstic chance of being the next government, leading to the idea that conservative (small c) = religious.

      Again that is more complex in the UK, the Tories certainly like the Christian churches and their dwindling flocks are more likely to vote Conservative than the average, but the hierachy of the churches is well to the left of any party currently in the UK. That means they screw with the tories, but regard Labour as not much better.

      The BBC is obliged to be cheerleaders for these paedophile gangs, hence the use of "abuse" when they rape children, the feminist lobby would never tolerate that if it tried softening the language so as "not to cause offence". Hence when a leader of a church who openly admits he has assisted in the rape of children appears on TV he gets a smoother ride than David Attenborough

      So if you didn't know about the different factions in the CoE and Catholic church you'd assume that BBC toadying to them was right wing sympathies.

      The BBC these days is much more sympathetic to the armed forces, treating them as heroes. It was not always so, when squaddies were routinely portrayed as psycopaths who got off on murdering random people or objects of derision such as in Blackadder goes forth or Dads Army.

      Beng nice to thre army is in most contexts a "right wing" thing, whether you agree with it or not.


      There is little if anything to choose between the BNP policies on immigration and environment and the Green Party.

      Why is "Green" seen as inherently left anyway ?
      Rich landowners really like a lot of the ideas, Greens put forward, as do many energy companies who see it as a way of pushing up prices.

      The BBC does of course cheer a lot when British sports do well, that is not as inevitable as many would think, since (for instance) Reuters based in London don't do that.

        Abject thread title fail!

        "to" instead of "too" sounds like "right wing" is a verb, and the BBC plan to become _more_ right wing!

          I think the accusation is levied at their treatment of political figures and 'right wing' policies.

          The BBC would like to think of themselves as libertines, they are for lack of control except when it is middle class or 'rich' people.

          Taking responsibility for their own actions is not something they like.

          Green is good business, mostly.
          The Climate change mantra most definitely has communist overtones in control of the populace, if anyone is truly green they realise by far the most wastage is in business & distributed government.

          any attempt to limit the burgeoning welfare state is responded to by derision.

          so its easy to see why they are thought of as left wing.

            Did you mean libertarians? Libertines means something else, which a typical Beeboid is much more likely to be than a libertarian.

              both fit actually. publicly a libertarian, privately a debauched pleasure seeker.

                The research was done by a chap named Mark Berry. Who is very left wing.
