Jon Snow’s (unjustified) arrogance is seen in his singularly mean-minded refusal to wear a poppy to honour The Fallen. From what I’ve read about him, he would appear to be a “well-born” university drop-out who, having drifted somewhat, was helped to get a firm foothold in journalism by having a well-known uncle in the field.
I don’t think the fellow has too much, intrinsically, to be arrogant about. Still, he can boost his over-sized ego by savouring the cult status he’s received on YouTube from the usual suspects for his discourteous treatment of the admirably unflappable if constantly traduced (by the usual suspects; just look at the antisemitic filth he attracts on YouTube) Mark Regev some months ago.

Hasn’t Oborne heard of the tobacco and alcohol lobbies? There are all sorts of lobbies – that’s politics. He did not unearth anything in his programme. He completely failed.

PS – silly me, of course he has heard of the alcohol lobby. Hic!

More evidence of Peter Oborne’s shoddy approach and how many facts he got wrong http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/new/Under_Attack_HR_Accused_by_UK_TV_Documentary.asp

Those who stand to lose most out of Osborne’s Dispatches programme are the Palestinians. How come?

Out of a population of some 60 million, the programme’s audience (excluding worried Jews and rabid anti-Jews) would probably numbered around 13 viewers.

Of the Jewish audience, one or two or more will have been convinced that they and those dear to them should emigrate to Israel ASAP.

When will the Israel bashers (who are not the brightest lot – despite them thinking they are) realise that every unwarranted attack on Israel/Jews only ever adds to the flow of Jewish immigration to Israel?

Thank you Channel 4, Dispatches and Osborne.

Hang on a minute! Maybe that’s how sophisticated the Israel lobby really is! Promote anti Israel rhetoric in the media so more Jews go there!

Or is it the Jewish Cabal a la Tam Dyall. Is it time to pack the bags ?

Its so easy – pay a few dozen British MPs to say nice things about israel, employ criminal thugs like Ronson to threaten anyone who dares criticise the apartheid state and fund websites in Jerusalem to mobilise the zionist hordes against anyone exposing the ugly truth behind israel’s ugly facade.
“Honest Reporting” – you can kiss my hairy arse !!

Thank you very much for all your comments and support.

You may like to read this post http://www.chrismorris.com/blog/2009/11/how-could-i-have-been-so-stupid/ over on Chris’s blog, which is an excellent response to the Oborne programme (complete with a pair of regular creepy loons in the comments!)

Meanwhile, I am delighted to say, I am off to White House Express!

They’re not anti-Semitic. They just hate Jews.
