Trumping the needs of a country they were elected to serve


Subject: FW: Trumping the needs of the country they were elected to serve.
 
So now, after the contenders debate for who is to be the next Prime Minister the knifes are out and the trolls gather to attack the BBC for its handling of the debate.
The chairwoman was deemed to have targeted Boris Johnson as if his past utterances and dodgy decision making were not fair game. The selection of people who appeared on screen from different locations in the country and across a broad spectrum of the British Public were, in the eyes of the trolls prejudiced  against the Tory Party. Perhaps they would prefer a bunch of pink rinse octogenarians who just love the idea of Boris as leader and ask purely sycophantic questions.
There is a class of people who hate the BBC. Who would demolish the BBC if they could the same sort of people who would demolish the NHS for a market orientated enterprise who see competition as the only modus operandi worth considering. They seem to come from the stable of the Express,Mail, and Sun readership, who pay allegiance to the Murdock blend of capitalism where those that can pay and the rest do without.
Listening to David Davis that genial " everything will come good" merchant who's cry to get out of the EU come what may (not Mrs May) and who admitted this morning that "if he didn't understand a problem he ignored it" on the premise that he could only focus on what he did understand, exemplifies why the warnings of industry are ignored.
A good source of information, not political cant, but opinion from the front line, where the action is being fought, opinion from the chemical industry, and the pharmaceutical industry, vehicle manufactures and many others, are part of the process of information gathering which the Parliamentary Committees undertake to advise government. All this expert advice is ignored by the politicos such as Johnson, Hunt, Javid and Gove. For them the political goal, to become the next Prime Minister is worth the misery of a broken car industry or the diminution of our standing in the field of Research and Development.   For them their hubris, their self importance, trumps the needs of the country they were elected to serve.
