Cutbacks at the BBC…they’re even repeating the News now……
Ed Balls had a bad performance during the Autumn Statement showdown this year but isn’t this BBC ‘Ed Ball’s’ story from last year’s Autumn Statement?:
Ed Balls explains hesitant Autumn Statement response
Last year he blamed his bad performance on his stutter…perhaps the BBC didn’t have the heart to ask him what the cause was this year and just republished last year’s grand excuse…along with Flander’s assessment of things:
Autumn Statement 2012
- At-a-glance: Key points
- Q&A: How changes affect you
- More spending cuts ‘on the cards’
- Flanders: What has changed?
What’s changed indeed.
It is most amusing that Bruiser Balls seeks to make excuses for his poor Commons performances, even funnier that the BBC amplifies the excuses. Surely they fall on deaf ears
Crocodile tears from me at Ed Bollox’ idiocy and bluster.
I know this is a rhetorical question but, why do socialists/communists/marxist/fascists/nazis/greens etc all think that raising taxes is a good thing?
Why don’t normal people ask themselves, what would they be prepared to contribute to for the common good? And what would they not? And why do they/we all acquiesce without murmur?
Google the Harrogate agenda for answers, my friends.
Because raising taxes is seen as hitting the rich and privileged, provides the moral high ground and is an effective method of ensuring the votes of those who do not work or are low earners.
It also ensure that those who claim to be acting on behalf of the ‘poor’ stand a better chance of being elected and thereby are able to provide themselves a millionaire life style.
Balls was rather rude on Sky News yesterday. If it had been Osborne the clip would be being repeated regularly on the BBC with claims that he was ‘feeling the pressure’. No such coverage about Balls. How odd.
