Default Ben covered the General Election

....for Iranianian TV! the same Press TV channel that spews out hatred of the US and Britain all day every day. But then it's only money innit?

Andrew to Ben "did you stay up for the election?"

Ben, disdainfully, "New, new, new, I covered it for Iranian TV"

Ironic that someone who professes to be the epitome of Britishness sells his services to the same Channel that employs George Galloway to reinforce its hatred for all things British.

No need for personal attacks.
When has Ben or any of his fans ever said he was a paragon of virtue? And as for earning his money by being a political correspondent, so what? At least he's gainfully employed and not sponging of the state; and not unemployed and squatting in other people's property, or unemployed and squandering his dead father's inheritance.

Ben taking money from Iranian State TV? The same state that murders protesters in the street or makes them "disappear" for actively backing democracy in Iran. Ben will do ANYTHING for the $$$$. Ben needs to grow a moral conscience instead of taking blood money from the Iranian government soaked in the blood of democracy supporters who protest in the streets! hehe :P lol

Ben does NOT care where his income comes from, he has the ability to shut out irritating facts about his paymasters. He doesn't sponge off the state because he prefers to sponge of his upper class "friends"

So why does that bother you then? Your taxes aren't keeping him, so why not direct your resentment to those who DO sponge off the taxpayers like some of the evicted HMs?

ITS HIS JOB for goodness sake, he will have had to do whatever his bosses said and for where,what a rediculous criticism,even in the days of the cold war with the USSR our elections were coverd for them too, IRAN is no different, we are not exactly in any major conflict with Iran. Ben was doing his job, how come some people here think he warrants criticism for doing that, what a spiteful lot.

Good god! ... because he was PAID by them. He wasn't covering the election for UK tv but by a state owned propaganda machine. A state that has blood on it's hands. What a strange defense ..."It's his job!"? People make moral choice to do or not to do things. He clearly sees no problem in taking cash from the Iranian owned and run mouth piece that slaughter it's own people in the streets. Ffs wake up and listen to yourself. Ben is a nasty toad who I wouldn't trust alone with my pets. hehe

Why is a verbatim report of what was SAID on LF causing a stir?

Andrew to Ben "did you stay up for the election?"

Ben, disdainfully, "New, new, new, I covered it for Iranian TV"

Maybe he did it for nothing, that would be nice!

Australia was built on the deliberate genocide of the indiginous population-remember that when your on the moral high ground.
Iran doesnt go round invading other countries-Could name you a few who do.

Didnt the Australian Government send forces into the initial invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, didnt they send troops to party in the gulf 2 in 2003, and dont they currently have Special Forces operating in Iraq and afghanistan currently?

Whoever said no personal attacks please,WHAT!!, the people who comment on these pages have the right to conclude any assumptions right or wrong,but the vast amjority who comment here are strong fans of 1 or more housemates,therefore aligned to those housemates.When persoanl attacks are made against their supported housemate,in the absence of that housemate who cannot defend themselves on thes epages then their supporters have very right to especially when someone is totally unfaily and unjustly criticised just for doing their job.It is not a personal attack to say generally, with no names, that that is a spiteful act however if some people read it as a personal attack to them,well,if the cap fits....wear it.

didn't the AUS government send troops on the request of the afgan government to keep the taliban out?
Did the CIVILIAN democracy supporters slaughtered in the streets ask their Iranian government to murder them.

You see these 2 things as comparable do you?

Now you equate the UK government with a totalitarian regime who butches democracy supporters in the streets? In the UK your VOTE is your say and your conscience. In Irain your vote isn't worth sh*t. But you want to compare British tax payers with an Iranian dictatorship. This is some next level sh*t right here hehe
