BTW Since the BBC is all about impartial equality do you think we could all pop down the BBC for a private meeting with RH "to explore with Roger whether there are ways that Climate Skepticism can be better covered on television" ? PDF source
BBC, London, March 5th, 2015
In the headquarters of the Britsh Broadcastng Corporaton, I sit talking with veteran environment correspondent, Roger Harrabin. I am accompanied by my Solarcentury colleagues Frans van den Heuvel and Sarah Allison. We want to explore with Roger whether there are ways that solar energy can be beter covered on television.
@Alex I guess you found that very similar 1min Harrabin audio from the same day, used by BBC Learning English then pirated by China Daily as they teach what "new world order" means
(It might be the bit from Today but I'm not sure or even if it's Harra's voice)
Note it's slightly different from here on Unthreaded Dec 10, 2015 at 8:38 AM Mike Post first mentioned it then on the next page RadicalRodent quoted more
It is difficult not to see some vast conspiracy, as you listen to Mr Harrabin’s words: “…what we are trying to do…” and “…who takes responsibility in this New World Order…” Take into account the interesting observation that “…we gotta phase out fossil fuels…” (aside from the awful diction, there is no valid reason for doing so, and no viable alternative yet found) “US emissions are falling, while those from Brazil, China and India are increasing…”, and the “huge historic responsibility for the predicament we face” that the US bears (why?). It is more of a party political broadcast, made even more terrifying in that it seems to include the BBC as a significant part of the Party.He then moves onto the cash – and so much is revealed: some of the smaller nations are on a cash-grab, determined to play the hapless victim, even when there has been nothing, weatherwise or climate-wise, for them to be a victim of, and the president of Kirabas makes that very clear. Of course, the BBC does nothing more than be his mouthpiece.
This is all going to end in tears.
BH had a post about Today prog Dec 10th We quoted Harra a few times
OK Google throws up Biased BBC on 2 threads mentioning the item
AsISeeIt December 10, 2015 at 12:44 pmThen Anote comes up in a long comment in that Mid Week open thread which is similar to the new posting Dec 10th Begging bowls, blackmail and blame In which Alan quotes BH's mentions of Harra in that Today prog Dec 10th thread.
Amazingly (sic) Ros Atkins (BBC news channel Outside Source) made the exact same slip about which I posted a few days ago. In his excitement about something Obama had said Atkins talked of an agreement “We” hope to get. You don’t suppose the BBC have had internal briefings and training in warmism do you? (sarcasm there).
Well, there you go! I’ve learned summat knew – who new? I have never seen the term “ex-pat” written in its full form, and had no knowledge of the word “patriate”; it’s gnu to me!
Don’t worry, MJ, I have no fear or shame in being corrected when wrong; sadly, the former happening considerably less often than the latter.
Martin A, it is high time some of these smug civil servants found out about working for a living. Some of them must know something useful.
Sorry, RR. I was gently chiding you for joining the ranks if those who normally inhabit the sub-article comment swamp and who have never properly learned to read. So they confuse 'patriot' with 'patriate' and assorted other spelling blunders which imply they live in a world bereft of the written word!
I know that doesn't really apply to you!
Does this make the UK (civil servants and politicians) the most stupid in Europe?

Not at all. Quite the reverse. They are very smart people who know which side their bread is buttered and have built civil service empires accordingly. Their comfortable well paid careers, with honours and inflation-proofed pensions are all dependent on the civil service industry they created specifically for the gold plating of the directives arriving from the EU.
I do admire the French for having developed the EU with self interest at heart, but still having the sense to raise 2 fingers in an anglo-saxon salute to toxic discharges from it.

Whatever the outcome of any EU referendum, there must be a fair few thousand civil servants that would not be missed by anyone in the UK, and I suspect their salaries come direct from UK taxpayers, in addition to all the other monies paid to the EU.
Douglas Carswell has just tweeted a fascinating link about a new Dutch EU public referendum vote on an EU planned Ukraine Association Treaty. First I've heard anything about this...

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has posted a blatant wind-power propaganda piece on the Telegraph web site:

Deservedly, he is taking a huge pasting in the comments.
Someone writes a news post about a BBC guy who deceives
Just a thought : Who is the dictator of the BBC's climate policy ? Rajah Harrabin
.....too late for Christmas cracker jokes.
