O Roneo, Roneo! wherfore art thou Roneo?

I'm sure there will be plenty of piffle from the right about the forthcoming report on 'BBC bias'.

Balance. balance and more poxy balance is the cry. Oooh, they didn't have a 'rounded debate' on the Make Poverty History campaign. Oooh, they showed a clip of the Make Poverty History video in The Vicar of Dibley, Oooooh.... oh bollocks! If this lot had had their way there would have been no Cathy Come Home, indeed there would probably have been no Wednesday Play slot at all.

And let's remember which organisation was vilified by that cunt Campbell for pointing out that the WMD story was a pack of lies. Indeed, the only heads that rolled over the whole WMD affair were BBC employees (and poor David Kelly, if you count suicide as head-rolling).

So who produced this report? Let me tell you. The sort of people who, in 2007, can come out with this:

“There is a tendency to ‘group think’ with too many staff inhabiting a shared space and comfort zone,” says the report.  It goes on to highlight a “Roneo mentality” where
staff  ape each other’s common liberal values
.

A Roneo mentality? Roneo!? Rone-ee-fucking-o! Jeeez, what decade are these people living in? How many people even remember what a Roneo was?

I don't have to read any more. These people are twats. Full stop. End of story. Thank you very much and goodnight.
