BREAKING: The 'secret' list of the BBC 28 is now public – let's call it 'TwentyEightGate'

Not only BBC, Australian ABC needs urgent ”Perestroika” also. All those apparatchiks named above; should have their assets frozen and passports confiscated, until is found if GLOBAL warming is for real and is cumming or not – crime shouldn’t pay!!! On taxpayer’s paid responsible jobs / abuse of privileged position – misappropriation of tax $$$ ===DOCTRINE OF SEPARATION OF POWER BETWEEN THE NATIONAL BROADCASTER AND POLITICAL PARTY, IS DEAD. Should be resuscitated!!! NO BALANCED REPORTING = NO DEMOCRACY.

Apologies – it looks like I was mistaken about Richard North of EUReferendum being there. Having read so many blogs it can be a little blurry in hindsight. I certainly remember reading something by someone who was there, although possibly in a peripheral role.
If this list is picked up by certain UK newspapers it could be more bad news for the BBC. In the past they could have shrugged it off using their reputation, but now they are wounded and open to attack.
If the papers followed this up by examining the horrible bias in their ‘science’ programs [‘Climate Wars’ and various ‘Horizon’ programs] as well as news ‘reporting’ they could spin it out for weeks or months.
This would tie-in with the backlash against windfarms, concerns from British industry that a carbon tax and increased energy prices will make them uncompetative, concerns that a lack of a credible energy policy will lead to blackouts, etc.
It may just fizzle out, but as someone who lives in the UK I hope not.

Hilarious.

given BBC’s former Director-General Mark Thompson, now at NYT, is enmeshed in the many Jimmy Savile investigations because he was D-G when the Savile Newsnight program was pulled – i can’t see how the NYT can afford to keep him, to be honest:
12 Nov: Telegraph: James Delingpole: BBC’s latest excuse: forget Jimmy Savile, blame Nigel Lawson
The other day I argued that, following the Jimmy Savile and Lord McAlpine disasters, the BBC will learn nothing and do nothing. Patten – I’ll bet you: and there’s no bet I’d more happily lose – will keep his well-upholstered rear stuck firmly in the Chairman’s seat. The BBC will remain, as it is now, a bastion of entrenched left-liberal orthodoxy. If you need proof, have a read of this astonishing speech just delivered to Oxford University by the BBC’s ex-Director General Mark Thompson…
He quotes the Doran survey (“97 per cent of scientists say…”), quite unaware that it has been exposed as rubbish; he is impressed by Bob Ward whom he seeks to brandish as an expert in the field; he constructs his whole speech around the argumentum ad verecundiam – blissfully unaware throughout that by citing supposed authorities such as the Royal Society he is guilty of precisely the rhetorical fallacy he is striving to criticise.
My favourite bit though is the one where – again unwittingly, it seems – he resorts to yet another rhetorical fallacy (the argumentum ad populum) to demonstrate that “scientists” are considered in opinion surveys to be much more trustworthy than “journalists.”
Well given what the BBC has done over the years in its piss-poor reportage of any number of issues to discredit the cause of honest journalism, is it any wonder?
The New York Times is more than welcome to its new editor. Frankly, they deserve each other.

The International Broadcasting Trust (IBT) has been lobbying the BBC, on behalf of all
the major UK aid and development agencies … So far, 6 seminars have taken place. They have had a significant impact on the BBC’s output … As a result of the success of these seminars, further brainstorms are now planned for 2008.
==========
Here we have it, from IBT’s own documents:
“a significant impact on the BBC’s output”
Their lobbying has changed what the BBC reports. A lobby group that works on behalf of aid and development agencies has directly affected what the BBC reports to the public.
Clearly, the BBC is no longer a public institution. It is working at the IBT’s direction, on behalf of aid and development agencies, using public money to fund this effort. At a minimum this would appear to be a Breach of Trust by the BBC Trustees.

Anita Neville is with E3G (Third Generation Environmentalism), founded by Foreign & Commonwealth Offices’s John Ashton:
E3G John Ashton, Founding Director
John Ashton is a Founding Director of E3G. He was the Special Representative for Climate Change to the UK Foreign Secretary from 2006 to 2012. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2012 Birthday Honours for services to international climate change.
John is one of a new generation of diplomats equally at home in the worlds of foreign policy and green politics. Before moving outside government to establish E3G in 2005, John had a distinguished career in the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, including founding and leading its Environment Policy Department.
A major theme of John’s career has been China. He speaks Chinese. He was an adviser to Governor Chris Patten in Hong Kong from 1993-7. His first diplomatic assignment, from 1981-4, was as Science Attaché in the British Embassy in Beijing…
John was the first Chief Executive of E3G in 2005-06, before returning to the UK Foreign Office as the Foreign Secretary’s Special Representative for Climate Change…
He had the personal title of Ambassador with direct access to the Foreign Secretary. John played a key role in designing the FCO’s climate change network and strategy, with its focus on climate stability as a precondition for security, prosperity and equity, and on strategic political engagement with the emerging and other major economies.
John has been continuously active in climate diplomacy in various capacities since 1997. He was involved in negotiating the EU 2020 package on climate change in spring 2007 and the decision in December 2008 on funding for CCS across Europe. He helped negotiate the agreement in 2005 between the EU and China to demonstrate zero emission coal technology in China, and was closely involved in the EU’s engagement with Russia over the Kyoto Protocol. He played a key role in the first UN security debate on climate change in April 2007. He was a senior member of the UK negotiating team in the UN climate negotiations from 1998-2002, and again at Copenhagen.
John Ashton is a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London, and a Member of the Green College Centre for Environmental Policy and Understanding. He is a steering committee member of Climate Care and serves on the Advisory Boards of the Climate Institute, Washington DC; the UK Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research; the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California, Santa Barbara; and Climate Change Capital.

17 Oct: E3G: John Ashton speaks at Asahi World Environmental Forum, Tokyo
John Ashton, one of E3G’s founding directors, gave a speech at the Asahi World Environmental Forum 2012 in Tokyo on the 16th October. Entitled “Climate Change and the Race for Growth”, the speech urges countries to raise climate change up the political agenda and move away from a ‘business as usual approach’ to growth. Climate policies of China, the US, the EU, the UK and Japan are also discussed…

Dr Andrew Dlugolecki produced a report for the Chartered Insurance Institute in the UK about climate change. He is of course entirely impartial. In an interview in 2009 about the report he said:
“We believe climate change is already happening, and to give you an example of hot months in the UK, the kind of temperatures that we used to see once every hundred years – in other words with a one per cent risk – has now risen to about an eight per cent risk. In insurance you would normally insure against something that comes about one per cent of the time and already we’re seeing events that used to happen once every thousand years happening with a probability of one per cent. We’re seeing a big change already in the climate, a change at the levels where insurance and re-insurance has to pay attention.”
What utter nonsense. Of course ever since he said this I don’t think we have had anything but cold wet summers and cold winters in the UK.

No surprise the BBC wanted to keep the list secret! I wonder how many others did too? Perhaps that was the reason for the odd choice of judge in the case — someone who was willing to give the “right” answer?
Even now, the BBC has links all over the place and who knows what nudge-nudge-wink-wink arrangements could have been made in an effort to preserve its appearance of impartiality.
I found it very funny that the BBC news was reporting on Entwistle’s departure as if it was a major story. I wonder if it will do the same on this story? I think not, but hopefully one of the less biased MSM organisations might pick it up.

The top secret list of the TwentyEight… all in the Wayback machine… Ahhahahaha! Idiots!
Nice sleuthing, Omnologos!
(Now I can see some BBC investigative journalists trying to find out who this “Omnologos” REALLY is… and where his lair is…)

Now we know why they wanted to keep the list confidential. Imagine if the Nazis had gotten a hold of that list? Talk about dodging a bullet.
