However I was curious about how the BBC has chosen to treat this expose of NuLabour corruption. It appears there is "concern" but I was amused to see that the BBC's political correspondent Iain Watson felt able to suggest that whilst trying to influence Parliamentary legislation was outside the House of Lords code of conduct, peers not paid a salary can offer general advice to private firms as consultants. "That may be where there's a bit of a grey area, where people can quite honestly say 'I haven't broken any rules'," he said. Sure. Thing is I don't recall such generosity of spirit being extended to any Conservative found in such a "grey area". Then it was sleaze. Now it is quelle surprise!

Today may be 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns but it is also a milestone in my time here at B-BBC for it marks one year to the date since I first started posting here! I wanted to firstly thank Ed for his very kind invitation to me in the first place, and to all those other illustrious writers who have preceded my time here some of whom still illuminate the site with their excellent work. I also wanted to thank all of you readers for your wonderful contributions, believe me I feel your insights always dwarf my own efforts. It's a breeze being able to write here for you and after this time I hope you have become accustomed to my ways! Thanks to you all - after one year I'm now warmed up - now let the sport begin!
