Letters / Another BBC scandal
The 28 Gate scandal, which broke last Monday and has gone viral across the internet shows that the BBC has lied repeatedly, indeed continuously, for at least six years about having advice from 28 of Britain’s “leading scientists” about the climate change scare story.
In fact they had not got or indeed sought any such advice. Instead they knowingly contacted a group of renewables salespeople, government funded “green” activists, civil servants (including one American) and, strangely, people from the foreign “aid” industry, with barely any scientific qualifications between them.
By lying about this for so many years the BBC has proven not only that they consider it their job to lie and censor to promote a state “big lie”, but also that there is no scientific foundation behind the warming scare.
If the BBC had thought that they could find 28 real scientists out of the hundreds of thousands in Britain willing to give them the advice they sought they would obviously have done so.
This fits well with the previous calls I have made for any proponent of catastrophic warming to name a single scientist anywhere in the world who supports the scare and isn’t paid by politicians using our money. Nobody has been able to name even one.
The Savile scandal, which involved a relatively small number of officials apparently not noticing his decades of underage sex with hundreds of girls, can barely be 1,000th as bad as the entire BBC organisation continuously lying to promote what they knew to be a false scare that has cost every person in Britain thousands of pounds in “eco” subsidising.
The BBC charter legally requires that they show “balance”. Obviously over warming they have shown nothing but the most complete and dishonest bias for decades.
This is not the only subject on which they have done so. They have therefore obviously vitiated their charter.
Moreover, in the various legal cases in which they employed platoons of barristers to try and prevent the facts coming out, it is difficult to see how claims that they had the “best scientific advice” from “leading scientists” can be anything but perjury.
The BBC are still censoring any reporting of 28 Gate from the media they control.
They are also enthusing over the charging of some News International staff for the legally as well as morally, lesser crime of obtaining information illicitly.
Perhaps a little more contriteness might be in order.
