Last night the BBC TV news had an item about the cuts in the education
budget. The story was that the government had decided to cut millions
of pounds from the last government's proposed education budget, but no
mention was made of the fiscal reasons was given, so it sounded as if
they'd done it for their own reasons. This item was illustrated by a
series of shots showing abandoned school buildings, including some
that looked as if they had suffered mining subsidence and were about
to be pulled down.

Many would argue education is the last thing that should suffer from cuts.

At the end of Newsnight they showed the front pages of the papers. The
Times led with a report just out saying that the IPCC reports on
climate change (upon which many governments based their climate change
policies) have been shown to be alarmist and biased. Newsnight chose
to ignore this and commented on the picture story instead before
moving swiftly on.

Climate change is one of those issues which defies comment. Those who
believe it is man made won't be swayed in their wiews any more than those
who believe it isn't.

Rather like your constant harping on about BBC left wing bias. ;-)

The Now Show was even more blatantly leftist then usual.

Good grief. I take it you've only started listening to it since the
election?
Hint. It is anti-establishment. Or perhaps you just nodded wisely when
they sent up Gordon Brown?

Why are we obliged to subscribe to this left wing organisation? It's
like being made to buy the Dailey Worker.

Well stick to Rupert Murdoch's products. There will only be right wing
bias there, which is more to your taste.
