Reality Bytes Radio – 20th Feb 2014 – Discussing Atos and the Natalie Bennett Incident
By Neil Foster – The Community Press Group -
The Community Press Group has come in for some criticism due to the posting of the video interview conducted at the Atos demo in London yesterday, by Neil Foster with Green party leader Natalie Bennett.
It should be pointed out that Natalie Bennett waited around at the end of the Atos demo for this interview and was not coerced into taking part.
When a party leader turns up at any event, regardless of what event it may be, they must expect to be questioned on a variety of issues not linked to that event.
Of 11 interviews conducted by The Community Press Group, 10 of those were done prior to the interview with Natalie Bennett and the subject matter completely relevant to the day’s events. Indeed, Natalie Bennett was given the opportunity to give her views on Atos and the reasons as to why she was attending. At no time did I, or anyone else, deny Ms Bennett the opportunity to speak.
However, as a journalist not associated with mainstream media or influenced by that industry, I feel that I have the right to ask any question which I feel is relevant to the personal opinions of whom I am interviewing. I will not simply interview the leader of a party, whatever party that may be, without examining elements of that party’s own policy documents.
Natalie Bennett did not do her research on Atos as was pointed out in the interview and I feel that as a journalist I have to ask the question as to why.
Watch the interview here:-
The Green Party’s policy on Atos appears to be a matter of support in some sectors of their corporate business interests whilst at the same time supposedly critical of the most obvious example of their corporate ethos which has been responsible for, according to official government figures, 10,600 deaths due to Atos ‘work assessments’ and the Dept. of Work & Pensions, who have now stopped collating those figures due to increasing deaths amongst the disabled community.
Natalie Bennett was the last of the interviews conducted with the demonstration over at that time.
I gave her every opportunity to explain her policy but she simply wished to repeat the Green Party ideology and the views of the IPCC; an organisation which boasts of having 2,500 of the world’s top climate scientists forming part of its organisation. Natalie Bennett knows this to be a false statement and yet continues to repeat it at every opportunity. As a journalist I must take the moral high ground wherever falsehoods are promoted as reality and challenge them. This is what I set out to do as soon as Ms Bennett started to blatantly lie about the IPCC’s credibility and expertise.
I make no apology for doing so.
She further exposed her hypocrisy and lack of knowledge on the organisation she was supposedly demonstrating against, Atos, their business connections and their involvement in what forms a large part of Green Party ideological policy; Smart Grid technology and the use of Smart Meters, which as pointed out to Ms. Bennett, have been shown to carry major health risks and are an invasion of personal privacy.
I also pointed out to Ms. Bennett that it seemed to be part of Green Party policy to give people their perceptions which she agreed was part of their agenda.
This begs the question as to why any political entity would wish to give, or change, people’s perceptions if the facts stood on their own merit.
If they don’t, then the policy is not valid.
This is the point regarding my questioning of Green Party ideology which has infected every major political party and which is costing taxpayer’s billions every year subsidising so called Green technology and policies across the country.
The recent floods in Somerset are a perfect example of such policies with the deliberate flooding of large parts of rural England now under 1000’s of tons of floodwater as a direct consequence of ‘biodiversity’ and other such programs written and promoted by Green Party activists and lobbyists, of whom Natalie Bennett is both. She is not even an elected member of parliament and yet she feels she has some ‘Goddess given right’ to call for the sacking of public sector employees and government officials if they don’t believe in her eco-fascist dogma.
The hypocrisy is astounding in terms of what I pointed out from the Green Party’s own policy document which states that they respect the political rights of everyone and their right to free speech without sanction.
We will be posting the other 10 video interviews from the Atos demo as soon as we can get them uploaded.
I will also be discussing the Atos demo and the interview with Natalie Bennett on tonight’s Reality Bytes Radio which will be broadcast live at 8pm on www.awakeradio.co.uk
