Celebrating 25 years of This Morning |
On the same day presenters past and
present sipped champagne to celebrate 25 years of This Morning TV,
Ofcom received a complaint (reference Number:1-244593057) from a
viewer about the Conservative propaganda and scare-mongering of their
editorial content.
The investigative news source Guerrilla
Democracy has complained to Ofcom about three specific incidents
shown during their News Review segments during September and October
2013.
The first complaint refers to a comment
made by Phillip Schofield about a horrific plague which could thin
out all of mankind.

Scare-mongering in the most extreme,
Guerrilla Democracy asked the question, 'Is Phillip Schofield a New
World Order (NWO) agent or a useful idiot', following an ascertain he
made that the world is in danger of over population and that the only
solution is a plague which would thin out the human race.
Shown in the video below, Phillip
Schofield is quoted to have read a book on the subject, which he
maintains is fact and the truth. The complaint to Ofcom points out
that Phillip Schofield’s ascertain that the human population is
approaching dangerous over population levels is purely conjecture and
no scientific studies have conclusively determined this to be the
case.
Guerrilla Democracy defends the
question of whether Phillip Schofield is a NWO agent, following the
inscription on the Georgian Stones, stating the NWO aims to cull the
human race down to 500,000 people.
The next part of the complaint is the
claim that the This Morning editorial comment is solely based and
favoured towards Conservative Party propaganda.

With the guests Alice Beer and Nick
Ferrari on the couch, the subject up for discussion was the news that
thousands of children are going to school hungry, exhausted and
poorly clothed because their parents are so strapped for cash.
Phillip Schofield then goes on to reel
off a number of statistics which back up the headline. Increase in
uptake of free school meals 80%. Children unable to afford school
trips 83%. Parents seeking advise from schools on education grants
and allowances 75%. Parents unable to afford school uniforms 77%.
Children with unexplained absences from school up 83%. Children
unable to concentrate in class 88%.
Immediately after Nick Ferrari is
allowed to steer the conservation away from any blame towards the
government and onto the parent's themselves. Being allowed to make
the bold claim that the government's Bedroom Tax is not the reason for
thousands of children going to school hungry, exhausted and poorly
clothed because their parents are so strapped for cash, but instead
laying the blame on parent's, and in doing so clearly intending to
influence the viewing public that Government policy is not to blame.

Alice Beer adds to the political spin
by saying “Dickensian image, threadbare and hungry, and they will
have a package of £7 fags in their back pocket!”.
Before implying that parent's would
rather buy the new iphone than feed their kids.
The obvious fact that the only reason a
packet of cigarettes cost £7.00 is because of the tax added by the
Conservative government and that Apple Inc exploit millions of
Chinese workers to build their products and spend millions of dollars
on the latest advertising technology to brainwash consumers to buy
into their unique brand cult, makes no influence to her opinion.
As Guerrilla Democracy states “Alice
Beer and Nick Ferrari are right wing supporters of the Tory
government who are given the air time to come on national television,
before the water-shed, to sprout their vile and cruel opinions to the
nation and in doing so promote the Nasty Party which we have come to
know as the Tory Party.”
The complaint to Ofcom continues with
the discussion that two thirds of British parents refuse to let their
children watch the news, for fear of them watching violent material
or inappropriate subject matter.
The contempt is clearly shown on Alice
Beer's face as she smiles to Holly Willoughby while Phillip Schofield
introduces the story.
Alice Beer starts her contribution to
the debate by sneering at the wisdom of parents not letting their
children see pictures of violence by saying parents aren't doing so
in fear of their children asking difficult questions about the news.
She says “We all want to protect our
children from the terrible terrible world we sometimes live in. My
girls have just turned 10 and I actively let them watch the news.
While on holiday I showed them terrible pictures of the Syrian kids
killed. It effected me so much I wanted to show them the world we
live in. All families should be doing this otherwise all our children
won't be balanced and informed.”
Nick Ferrari nods in agreement and
continues to make the case for children to watch images of dead
children by stating that, “all news bulletins are put together with
such responsibility.”
Too often claims are made as fact, when
in truth they are ill informed opinions and at worst complete fabrication.
Nick Ferrari goes onto state with
certainty “It is vital parents get their children to watch violent
images!”
As a parent, I take offence to another
parent telling me what is best for my children. I will decide whether
I expose my children to extreme violent images of dead children
following a nerve gas attack and not Nick Ferrari.
It is well established that television
plays a huge influence on viewers opinions and decisions. This is
evident in corporate companies spending hundred of thousands of
pounds to advertise their products for up to 30 seconds a time.
To use the editorial influence of This
Morning TV to promote a conservative political ideology is a clear abuse
of Ofcom guide-lines and after 25 years broadcasting, This Morning TV should be taken off air immediately.
I've always thought Philip Skodafraud is an idiotic imbecile. He's most probably been paid a large back-hander by NWO Alien Fruitcakes. If they think we are going to lay down for them...They are very much mistaken. The NWO is the only plague we all now know of. Skodafield is a total prat.
