BBC - Orwellian Newspeak claim.

Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre has accused the BBC of "perverting political discourse".

"The BBC, which glories in being open-minded is, in fact, a closed thought-system, operating a kind of Orwellian newspeak," said Mr Dacre.

Mr Dacre, who was delivering the annual Hugh Cudlipp lecture at the London College of Communication, also stated that Mr Cameron should not take the Mail's support for granted at the next election.

"The Mail's a Conservative paper. It would be very surprising if we didn't support the Conservatives.
"Whether the present Conservative party is Conservative I don't know. We shall see," said Mr Dacre.

Could the Daily Mail be contemplating the unthinkable?

As I said in a previous post, "who knows, a vote for the BNP in the future could in fact be a vote for conservatism!!!!"
(yes I know there is also UKIP and the Greens!)
