From Sean Gabb. Doctor Gabb is England's leading libertarian
4 February 2009
Should the BBC have sacked Carol Thatcher because she said in a private
conversation that someone looked like a golliwog? No, says Sean Gabb,
Director of the Libertarian Alliance. Jo Brand was investigated by the
police for allegedly inciting criminal acts on BBC 1 against her
political opponents. Carol Thatcher used a word. One gets the sack, the
other the BBC's unconditional support. But, then, Jo Brand [ a deeply, sincerely ugly barrel of lard - Editor ] is part of the
New Labour Establishment. Carol Thatcher is the daughter of a Prime
Minister who still makes the ruling class shudder.
Also worth mentioning: Jo Brand is alleged to have incited criminal acts
against members of the British National Party, and she is a declared
supporter of the Labour Party. The Libertarian Alliance has no time for
any form of collectivism, racial or otherwise. Even so, we note that the
British National Party is *not* led by unindicted war criminals who have
enthusiastically joined in the murder of half a million civilians in Iraq
and Afghanistan, who have abolished ancient civil liberties and turned
the police force into a governing party militia, and who have taxed and
regulated and inflated this country to the verge of collapse.
We also note that, while Margaret Thatcher's name is continually
blackened by the pro-Labour BBC, she did none of these things either.
The BBC is a leading part of the ideological state apparatus that
sustains the present ruling class. What it has done to Carol Thatcher is
wholly in keeping with its real purpose.
A government advised by the Libertarian Alliance would abolish the BBC on
its first day in office, dismiss all its employees, disclaim all its
copyrights, and end all state regulation whatever of the airwaves.
Sean Gabb can be heard making some of these points on BBC Radio:
