I've noticed this on both TV and radio, whenever a political piece of news is aired it's always the Labour leader who is interviewed first. If it was just the BBC then I would understand but it seems to be all providers - is everyone in the media a leftie?

This morning the Biased Broadcasting faces covered VAT and gave a lot of unopposed airtime to Postman Prat, not so much on first as a cakewalk solo performance. Fortunately the Lesser Microgland wasn't on that one.

To be fair

was any one listening?

I popped into the kitchen for "putting the kettle" on duties, pottered around with taking the elderly dog into the garden for an early constitutional then back into the kitchen to make the cuppa.

Did monghead actually SAY anything? Offer an alternative? Admit he was fking clueless about money but wouldn't be having his Duck Island serviced during this Parliament...?

I think It was Carol Bigboobs doing the cold snap when I came back in

Or an eclipse they couldn't show us from the UK frown
