Biased BBC

It was found last year that the BBC executives had held a secret meeting at which they agreed that they were biased to the left. The BBC refute the claims of course, however, Nick Assinder today in his New Year predictions did little to dispel this theory.

He was giving his forecast for the political events of 2007, and when commenting about the Cash for Peerages scandal he said that if,

'But if there are any charges brought against any Labour individuals, it will send shockwaves through the government and play into suggestions the government is as sleazy as the previous John Major administration was said to have been.' view article on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6178815.stm

I may well not remember the John Major government that clearly (not even being in double figures by that stage), but from my history lessons, it was never stated that any of the 'individuals' had charges brought against them, and John Major himself was never questioned by the police. I think if any of Tony's Cronies is charged then it surely demonstrates that this administration is an awful lot more sleazy than Major's ever was, this is not to mention dodgy house loans, Tessa Jowell's estranged husband and let's not even start on John Prescott.

It cannot come as a surprise when politicians act in this way that voter turn out has decreased. Furthermore they should act as role models. We should expect our politician's to be law-makers not law-breakers.
