Not paid by the BBC doesn’t mean she’s not a total shill. But whatever. I guess it’s not even that big a distinction whether she was paid or not, or by whom, if she was.
Having said that, she did ring a bell. Past Question Time audience member? But, again, whatever. These types of people are likely to pop up time and again, on programmes next to no-one watches, convincing next to no-one of anything. It was a complete fluke I even saw her at all. Very rarely bother watching Newsnight.
i meant to add that it reminds me of the way they ducked the question about giving a platform to shady lobbying groups, like i don’t think anyone is saying she was paid by the BBC, but they’ve chosen to focus on that and “debunk” it.
like if i spilled bleach on my gfs uniform and she accused me of doing it, and i defended myself by saying, “i was NOT wearing a grey jumper on the day in question, what a hysterical claim, you are way out of line here.”
Yikes, that’s put Murdoch on the porch hasn’t it? I expect an apology on Page 3 tomorrow and for the subject of the liberal bias of the BBC to never appear in one of his publications again.
