Jonathon King: a Stalinist Approach to History

Jonathon King – who attended the exclusive Charterhouse School in Surrey – is a typical Tory supporting bourgeois, who thinks he is above the law (even though it generally favours the middle class), and who once described the BBC censuring a performance of his from a 1976 episode of Top of the Pops’ (repeated in 2011), as a ‘Stalinist revision approach to history’. Laughingly, in a typical act of duplicity, the BBC (which routinely excises controversial characters from its broadcasts simply by not re-showing programmes) actually thought it proper to ‘apologise’ to King – seemingly validating King’s attitude and approach. This is the same BBC that participated in the demonisation of the Thatcher-supporting King in 2000 (before his trial), but which has refused to cover the devastating effects of the Tory and LibDems ‘Austerity’ programme inflicted upon the ordinary people of the UK since its instigation in 2010, and which has provided ‘positive’ and ‘supportive’ coverage of the neo-Nazi ‘Maidan’ regime currently operating out of Western Ukraine.

When Julian Clary was Revolutionary…

Of course, the rightwing press immediately launched a vindictive campaign against Julian Clary for expressing his disdain at Toryism in general, and Tory policy inparticular. This was the very same press that thought it was perfectly OK for homelessness to re-appear on the UK streets, after being virtually eradicated by the Labour initiated Welfare State since 1948.
