Oh, and cobblers to being "nuanced", Stephen.

The so-called "Dame" who, hiding behind "Parliamentary Privilege" vilely accused Jeremy Corbyn of being - I quote - a "fucking anti-semite" in Parliament wasn't in the least bothered about "nuance" or the truth.

Murder is Murder!

I know my humble scribblings aren’t up to the standards of a potential Poet Laureate, a Shakespeare or a Wordsworth, for that, I offer grovelling apologies.

The term “Rant” is all too frequently used as a put down, to belittle the opinions and work of the author. Definition of a rant? well, my poem isn’t “uncontrolled” and doesn’t say “confused or silly” things. Yes, I’m writing in a “shouty” and “angry way” - and my poem isn’t a debate about whether the BBC is “right or left wing”.

It’s about what are now undisputable facts – the suppression of which requires the harrassment, murder and imprisonment of journalists, poets and peaceful protestors.
It’s about the decades long, systematic genocide and ethnic cleansing of innocent civilians, literally on an industrial scale, known in some circles as “Mowing the Lawn”.

All that, with the help of UK armed forces, (the USA, using Irish airspace), the complicity of UK political leaders and a corrupt propaganda machine paid for by UK citizens’ “tax- pounds”. If that doesn’t warrant anger, then what does?

Fortunately, I do have access to adequate suppllies of loo roll and so don’t have to rely on likes of the Daily Heil or the Torygraph - not very kind to my nether regions – and for some years now, I’ve been unable to rely on Auntie.

Remember Auschwitz? Amnesia’s easier.

I’m happy that the BBC is considered right-wing by the Left and left-wing by the Rught.

I enjoyed this poetic rant, Uilleam, although my instinct is to be more nuanced. Out of fashion at the moment, but what can you do?

One of the reasons that I was in favour of keeping the TV licence, was that I thought it would ensure the accountability of the powers that be.

Couldn't have been more wrong: a whole Corporation bought and paid for.

We, the public are paying for evil-doing.

RTÉ stands for Raidió Teilifís Éirean, Radio and Television of Ireland.
Auntie and BEEB are affectionate names for the BBC, British Broadcasting Corporation.

The title "Propaganda", and the phrase “ideology of fear” came from an article I was reading about Noam Chomsky’s views on propaganda.
