George Orwell is 'too Left-wing’ for a statue, BBC tells Joan Bakewell
When the George Orwell Memorial Trust proposed a statue of the writer for outside the BBC’s new headquarters it expected an enthusiastic response.
By Anita Singh: However, not everyone appeared enamoured of the plan.
According to Baroness Bakewell, who is backing the campaign, Mark Thompson,
the Corporation’s outgoing director general, said the statue could not be
erected on BBC premises because Orwell was “too Left-wing”.
Orwell worked as a BBC journalist, producing radio programmes at Broadcasting
House during the Second World War before leaving to publish Animal Farm and
Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Mr Thompson’s remark will surprise critics of the BBC, who have long accused
the corporation of liberal bias.
Lady Bakewell said the exchange took place earlier this year.
“I met Mark Thompson at a BBC reception and mentioned the project. He said,
'Oh no, Joan, we can’t possibly. It’s far too Left-wing an idea’,” she said.
Writing in today's Daily Telegraph, Lady Bakewell said the BBC should “honour the greatest British journalist of his day” with a statue in the piazza outside the new Broadcasting House in Oxford Circus, central London.
A number of serving BBC journalists, including Andrew Marr and James Naughtie, have helped to raise more than £60,000 for it to be made.

West vs East Banker Pay Comparison: JPM's Jamie Dimon: $23,000,000; ICBC's Jiang Jianqing: $308,000
Submitted by Tyler Durden: Everyone knows that China is different than
the US, but one area in which little is known about just how vast the
difference is, is banker pay. Which is why the following
comparison may come as a surprise. According to Bloomberg, the
difference between pay for Jamie Dimon, head of the US' largest bank JPM, and Jiang Jianqing, head of ICBC - the world's most profitable bank, is
simply stunning. Last year, Jamie - the head of the bank ensnared in
everything from Liborgate, to the London whale fiasco, to MF Global
client fund "confiscation", got paid $23 million. His Chinese
counterpart? A tiny $308,000. This translated into $1.21 million for
every $1 billion in profit for the JP Morganite, and $9,400 for the same
profit for the ICBC head: a nearly 130x differential!
Perhaps it is time shareholders of US financial companies demanded the
same kinds of pay-for-performance metrics as those already in place in
China.

The Death of Jobs - Nicholas Bucheleres
A few weeks ago PIMCO's founder and
co-CIO Bill Gross penned a piece on "the death of the cult of
equities." It doesn't take a financial wizard to figure out the
validity of his statement--I wrote a paper
earlier this summer on the Fed's long-term malevolent effects on
markets--but it is nice to hear someone with clout actually come out and
speak the truth. The Old Wall St. likes information from the "experts"
for some reason. How else does Jim Cramer have a job?
The S&P over 20 years: Empirical evidence that Old Wall St.'s "buy and hold" strategy died in 1999. |
The sit-back-and-relax "buy and hold"
strategy that unqualified portfolio managers banked on for so many years
has indeed perished in this highly leveraged, central banking dominated
environment. There is also an interesting coincidence between the
departure from the old-school investing strategy, and the corporate
consumer-engineering that began in 1999, as highlighted in my last article.
There is something, though, that is more troubling for the US economy, and specifically middle-class laborers: Robotics.
