It doesn't matter if they are Conservatives, Labour, Lib-Dems - whatever. The fact is that the sheer greed of the political caste at Westminster is truly monstrous. Playing within the rules that they set, and that they policed, the enthusiasm with which they have ripped US off knows few limits. But how do you think the BBC is covering the issue? With The Telegraph providing us with details of how Conservative MP's have had their snouts in the trough of taxpayer funded largesse, do you detect a difference in BBC reporting? When this news broke last week and it was Labour's dirty little expense secrets that were revealed, the BBC narrative was all about how this damaged ourconfidence in politicians. Instantly the issue became outward looking and was presented in terms of lost public respect for politicians. But now it is Conservative expenses the spotlight is all about the Conservatives - firmly fixed inwards. The other aspect is there is a tone difference in how this is reported. Don't you think there was a sense of dismay when the Labour skeletons fell out of the expenses closet, whereas this last few days there is an evident delight at being able to expose the folly of the Conservatives - with a dash of class war envy thrown in. I suggest that any progress against those who peddle dangerous and illegal drugs is to be welcomed. So the claim by the Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) that it is making serious inroads on the cocaine market has to be welcomed. However the BBC was quick to invite Danny Kushlick, of the drug policy think tank Transform, to posit an alternative view, namely that it might be best to make all drugs legal. It's an odd counter-balance as one could equally argue that Soca and government could do MORE to combat the narcotics trade as opposed to suggesting nothing be done. Perhaps there may be a few at the BBC who take a liberal approach to drugs? Wonder what your thoughts are on the decision by the BBC to appoint a Muslimas head of it's religious programming? The post - considered one of the mostinfluential religious roles in the country - has gone to Aaqil Ahmed. What with having a Sikh producing its most popular and longrunning religious programme, Songs of Praise, the BBC seems determined to marginalise Christians.
