Having a massive row with him doesn't indicate political allegiance, just knowing a massive tt when you see one.

Nope, but more neutral than most. I also think they reflect the views of most of the British public.

As others have pointed out, the BBC made a reference to Alan Duncans previous job and it's being castigated as some sort of extreme socialist mouthpiece. The Telegraph doing the same thing isnt a big deal ???

Get a grip people.

Not good enough. They are failing their own mandate, and, in my view, by quite a long way.

I've explained twice already why it's different. The article wasn't about Duncan. Did that pass you by?

you need to wake up if you think the beeb made but an isolated attack on the Gov its a constant theme underlying much of their reporting. It far more left wing than the Labour party.

And standing ready to lap up 'criticism' aka spin on what was in fact an invitation to lean a bit further over to the left. Met with open arms.

It'll fall on its red face if it keeps this up.

It's a good site, but I also think it's slightly obsessive. It seems to combine the weaknesses of the BBC with an agenda of scrapping the licence, which is unfortunate.

The story is on the front page of bbc news and granuaid websites.
If that was a reply to my post about info now coming out of Libya. Just watched the report now on news 24

Only mention of security services. No mention that this happened under Labour(the ones always banging on about human rights) No Labour MP's have been asked if they knew about it going on etc etc or even just to explain why.

In fact no links whatsoever just reporting matter of fact that yeah some stuff happened, no further insight.
When was the last time there was reports like that about the torries without some editorial axe to grind.

And why would they mention Labour or anther party, MI6 works independant of the government.

But not in a vacuum.

MI6 operates with Parliamentary oversight and oversight by two independent Commissioners, both formerly senior Judges.

These independent Commissioners are appointed by - - - the Prime Minister.

BoE MPC works independently of government too.

My point was both the BBC and the granuaid had it as their top story for a while, there is not granuaid covereup.

Curious that, despite the blog first appearing on the 22nd August, Robert Pestons piece about Andy Coulsons compromise agreement with NI is STILL featured on the BBC homepage.............. You'd think nothing else had happened in the world of business and money in the past 2 weeks....
