    Here is another twist Easton might like to consider when looking at crime statistics.

    “Labour has introduced 14,300 new offences since taking office in 1997, with Gordon Brown’s administration inventing crimes at a rate of more than one a day”
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/7050044/Labour-invents-33-new-crimes-every-month.html

    So if there are more crimes surely people will be commiting these new crimes. Or are these crimes,  crimes that no one commits.

    John Ware is one of the few serious and honest reporters on the Beeb. But Panorama is only 30 minutes these days, and I expect his editor cramped his style somewhat.

    Put Any question on radio 4 Am I paranoid or is the audience just a wee bit biased?

    The other problem is also asymetric enforcement of laws. The laws that empower the state will be rigerously enforced. The laws the benefit the individual like trial by jury are removed or not enforced.

    Hmmmm…..a blog about perceived bias at the BBC and you have a click-through for Sky News.

    Can we take it your own bias is one of free market/right wing/Christian Conservatism? The kind of corrosive bullshit which has done so much harm to American society over the last decade or so?

    No thank-you.

    I think I’d much rather have a BBC run by five year olds than the right wing lies and half-truths which passes as news from too many US media outlets.
