Let me introduce you to Barra Best. Who is he? Well, he presents the weather here on BBC Northern Ireland. He has a little history, here he is being interviewed BY the BBC back in 2005!
“Gerry Adams stands out for good reasons. He actively promotes the Good Friday Agreement and encourages positive change. Ian Paisley stands out for bad reasons. He publicly ridicules the Good Friday Agreement and seeks to revert to the status quo of the old days when unionism was in its hay day.”
Barra then reveals he is a likely Sinn Fein voter. In the past few years, he has joined the BBC and is presented to the world as their lovable weather presenter. What a guy.
You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing in the BBC!
The BBC must have LOVED this guy during the interview process
Looks like a love-child of William Hague and Cave-in Dave! Quick someone, get him a job as a SPAd.
Well, he certainly passes the first test for a BBC weatherman: he makes Graham Norton look like Chuck Norris.
OT: just to highlight a regular beeboid fixation – Gun control . Today they duly rolled out someone from Brighton University ( ?!) , who bills himself as ‘an advisor to the gun control network’. ( Thats sid & dorris bonkers, to you and me.)
His sound bite for the beeboids, was no firearms or ammunition to be kept at home. I t should be collected on the way to where it is to be used.
Quite how a keeper in the middle of Devon, who has to be out foxing from dusk untill getting on for midnight and then drive probably 20 miles to the nearest police station, or a deer manager in Dorset, who has to be on his ground at first light in summer, approx 04.30 AM , is meant to manage this, unfortunately he didn’t reveal. Never the less, it allowed the bbc to put the boot into one of their favourite targets, without any response from anyone with a working knowledge of the issues involved.
‘Gun control’ in relation to the topic of SF/PIRA is not ‘off topic’. The BBC weren’t very exercised by SF/PIRA retaining their terrorist arsenal in flagrant breach of the Belfast Agreement.
Barra Best reminds me of a Sun sporting/weather analogy appropriate for him :
Depression to set in over BBC NI studio as a right shower is given free rain for two minutes.
If only Dogger Bank was in his remit !
Why we love BBC weathermen:

So that makes two places – BBC weathermen and Members of Northern Ireland Assembly – where Sinn Fein can get jobs.
What about fat boy Nolan David? He’s always struck me as a bit of an IRA lover.
Hmm. Didn’t something like 26% of all Belfast residents vote for SF in the 2010 general election? As opposed to, um, 1% for TUV?
Why, it’s almost like David Vance has a chip on his shoulder because hardly anybody in Northern Ireland agrees with his outmoded, outdated, extreme views…
You’ve certainly got a chip on your shoulder about DV! Hug a terrorist Scott, it’ll make you feel better (only mind your hands dont stray, you’ll find he’s not pleased to see you, that’s an armalite!).
Nice to see you refute the point, hippiepooter. Oh wait, you didn’t. Quelle surprise.
Scott
Thanks for that highly intelligent on topic contribution. You must be a BBC producer’s dream….
So what are you saying, David? That someone who expressed a preference for a legal political party supported by a quarter of Belfast residents is ineligible for a non-political, non-journalistic role at the BBC? Why is that, exactly?
If you don’t explain why, you do realise it’ll just look like sour grapes from someone who helped contribute to an electoral result his own party leader described, somewhat understatedly in my view, as “disappointing”?
So Scott do you think the BNP should be allowed to have elected politicians? Do you also think Teachers should be allowed to be BNP members?
Scott, there is a damned good reason not to employ Irish Republicans at the BBC. They er hardly fulfil the ‘British’ side of it (not that that seems to matter to Beeboids) and Irish republicans blew up the BBC in 2001. Again not that that seems to bother the Beeboids or yourself. However Scott, would you answer Martin’s question and say whether a BNP member should be allowed to work at the BBC?
Ltwf1964 – As we know the left are profoundly against the concept of liberty and hate individual autonomy. What a success the handguns ban in Britain was for instance? Gun crimes quadrupled afterwards. According to both the DT and British Crime Survey.
Scott, this obsession you have with DV, I’m sure you can find treatment for it if you try hard enough.
Is it his Celtic brogue that just proves irresistable to you? I’m sorry Scott, but if a man of your disposition is really looking for loaded guns to play with, you’re going to have to take the risks that go with hugging a terrorist.
lefty f*cktards do love those who would take away your liberties,don’t they?
first old Spotty boy fancies some islamofascist would be mass murderer…..now he’d like to throw a length into Barra chocolate
wankers one and all
