I thought it was all a bit odd. The peoples broadcasting corporation airing a programe about immigraition and how it's screwing the country. Then right at the end jeremy vine says "If the population does increase at projected rates we had better start building roads, hospitals homes etc, all at a time when public spending could be cut" which roughly translated means "keep winky in power, pretty please".

Very chilling, I thought. Not a Labour broadcast at all but more a "look how they've screwed it all" kind of programme. Interesting how different people read it diifferently.

I thought it was pro-Tory. Immigrants (though they only showed the hard-working ones who make your sarnies in Pret), Locals pushed out of the housing market (except they showed a 'chavish' mum of four - who was really sweet and wouldn't vote BNP innit) and poor City workers (who can only afford a house in Essex, and isn't the central line dreadful). Yep, maybe the BBC are hedging their bets before the election, depending on who their next Boss is.

Funny how you can believe what you want to believe. The BBC probably is biased, but its unlikely to the extent people on here make out. When you search for bias, you find bias.
