    Beeboids and ‘Camp of the Saints.’

    Beeboids’ other main political campaign, apart from getting Labour elected, is to speed up the complete colonisation of Europe by open-door, mass immigration from Africa and Asia (notably from Islamic countries).

    Beeboid ‘reporters’ on this have embedded themselves with illegal immigrants, and such ‘reporters’ see European countries as legitimate targets for mass immigration.

    Again, Beeboids show blatant political bias for mass immigration in this, and they do not represent the interests of European societies, nor do they look to the irresponsible consequences of their political campaigning on Europe, inc U.K.

      Have Beeboids considered this?:-

      “Lifeboat Ethics:

      the Case against Helping the Poor.”

      “Some say they feel guilty about their good luck. My reply is simple: ‘Get out and yield your place to others.’ This may solve the problem of the guilt-ridden person’s conscience, but it does not change the ethics of the lifeboat. The needy person to whom the guilt-ridden person yields his place will not himself feel guilty about his good luck. If he did, he would not climb aboard. The net result of conscience-stricken people giving up their unjustly held seats is the elimination of that sort of conscience from the lifeboat.”

        Can we now expect mass volunteering of Beeboid ‘reporters’ around the Mediterranean to swap places with illegal immigrants, as a non-solution to the enormous colonisation problem?

    In its latest propaganda fest in respect of “climate change” on Today this morning Tom Fielden – a BBC “science” correspondent – allowed James Lovelock to speak uninterrupted on the distress (ie Lovelock’s and the BBC’s) that “climate change” issues aren’t further up the priorities list of the politicians.
    In the best deliberately misleading traditions of the BBC and “climate change” nutters generally Lovelock issued a half-truth concerning Mrs T’s part in all this. In the 80’s Mrs T had indeed warned the world about “global warning” and Lovelock praised her mightily for doing so. What Lovelock ignored – and Feilden (an “impartial” journalist remember) didn’t mention – was that in 2003 Mrs T almost completely recanted from her earlier views as reported here. As Booker writes “the fact that she became one of the first and most prominent of “climate sceptics” has been almost entirely buried from view”. Leading the “buriers” is, of course, the BBC.
    The mendacity and lying by the warmists will get worse as the Paris meetings get nearer. As an observation, I suspect that if Miliband is PM at that time (or, now I think about it, Cameron) I would be very surprised if he didn’t put the UK down for an annual subscription to the international kleptocracy struggle against “climate change” equal to or in excess of the annual cost of the NHS.

      Quite right and Guido is spot on. This subject is all over my Twitter timeline this morning.

      I see that the BBC website have added a mealy-mouthed correction at the foot of their article on the subject, right at the bottom and well away from the article itself (just above their insight question in fact) where they say

      “Correction: The Trussell Trust has clarified that its earlier figure of more than a million people using food banks actually referred to the number of times food was given out.”

      They really are beyond shameless.

        The impression is that 1 million people are continuously using the food banks. The figures really breaks down crudely to about 2,000 people per day, out of a population of 68M going to a food bank.

        Make sure you ask the representatives of the parties that “weaponise” foodbanks when the foodbank volunteers will all be available for other charitable work if they are elected!

        You could also ask why the movement started during the last Labour government when benefits spending ballooned. The million private sector workers and families who lost their job in 2007/8 in the Labour balls up of the economy probably added greatly to demand.

        Just as well the predicted extra 1 million jobs losses Labour predicted from “austerity” did not happen. Do they ever get anything on economics right?

      After Cameron on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday ducking questions about benefit cuts, is it any wonder they are pulling out of debates?.
      A Newsnight evasion by Tories on – benefits, or is that …”welfare”
      … IDS?, (don t be silly, far too much of a coward), its Mark Harpers turn to do the disappearing act and,
      surprise surprise!, apparently the Selfservatives could not be contacted for comment?.
      What? … on the poorest, most vulnerable, their erm “record” … what about the “welfare” cuts, the appalling number on sanctions
      and the reasons why?, and yes increased foodbank use.
      How very strange … isn t there an election on?.

      After all on three occasions (including Cameron) yesterday, Tories butted in when supposedly discussing world issues, to overtly continue to lie about their record on the economy again …
      Hmm … The Tories “a lie a day” election continues with, “a bigger lie a day”, obviously, from now on

    Watch the postal votes!

    Ed Balls was elected with a majority of around 950 in a constituency in which almost 10,000 postal votes were counted at last general election.

    The number of postal votes in the Scottish referendum was almost twice the difference between Nos and Yesses.

    Lats general election Labour MP Kerr McArthy illegally tweeted about a sample of postal votes in a Birmingham constituency that the sample was dominated by Labour postal votes.

    Don’t expect BBC or Guardian to conduct investigative reporting into postal votes because BBC know Labour signs off on most generous license fee and Guardian knows Labour will grow public sector and will send all public sector job adds to the paper and its web site.

    Here you find some interesting reading about postal votes, which may have accounted for around 60% of Labour votes in last general election (say 5.5 million postal votes of 9.5 votes for Labour).

    DP: Brillo having revenge on Labour today. He replayed the humiliation of Jamie Reed yesterday, then made that point that Labour refused ‘to put anybody up’, so instead he talked to the BBC’s Ian Watson. Brillo and Watson sneered a lot about ‘Milliband told me… even if he wont talk to you!’ and raked over contradictions in the Labour position. Brillo finished with ‘We’re going to pull the plug on you now, Ian!’ Labour wont be pleased.

        I’d guess it’s an alpha male response; Smith rolls over and accepts he is boss, so he has no interest. But Reed and Labour took him on. Reed tried cockily ignoring Brillo’s questions and he suspects someone in Labour pulled the plug to unfairly end the contest. He wont let go until he has defeated them. I’d guess the personal battle interests him far more than the level of a mansion tax. Alistair Campbell would have been furious. Lucy Powell?

      BBC (and others) will inform us that St George was born to a Greek family in the Middle East (not English at all then) and is the patron saint of lots of other countries (so nothing special). You’d almost think they were trying to undermine an English cultural icon.
      If last year is anything to go by, more attention will be given to the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth and death. Probably marked by interviews with foreign tourists in Stratford upon Avon.

      ” Perhaps the last words should go to a victim. This young man told the Sunday Mirror “They say he can’t stand trial because he can’t defend himself and he will not understand what is happening. As children, we could not defend ourselves and did not understand what was happening. It did not stop us from being abused.”

        We have no spare housing. To all those unhappy with losing their spare bedroom subsidy, we should tell them we would reinstate it, if they agree to take in and keep a couple of Muslims from the illegal immigrants now waiting for them in Italy.

        Excellent.

        It makes me (sort of) laugh when the BBC state at the end of any segment concerning Janner that ‘his family deny any wrongdoing’ or some such garbage.

        Do people actually think that Janner went home and told all his friends and family that he’d been bu**ering little boys?

      All a bit iffy eh?

      Janner has ‘had Alzheimer’s’ (not ‘dementia’ BTW) since 2009 apparently, two years after the allegations first arose. As Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease it is possible that he is now incapable of understanding his surroundings where previously he was. Four ’eminent’ quacks have said that this is true.

      Which makes me wonder. Would 4 ’eminent’ quacks risk their careers for an old Labour peer of little current political capital? What good would it do them to do so and what would they lose if caught out – say he makes a miracle recovery in a couple of years. It’s happened before.

      Trouble is it’s all gone a bit ‘Truther’ hasn’t it? No matter what the truth is the Internet will be abuzz with accusations some of which may even be true but we will never know the truth of it now.

      If the allegations are true then he gets away with it and if not then he is another of a long line of politicians who had their reputations trashed, but only after they were no longer able to defend themselves.

      I don’t know about you but this is not the sort of justice system that I want ruling my life. Perhaps the ‘evidence’ should be reviewed by someone with no axe to bare. Of course if they find him innocent it could still be a cover up couldn’t it?

      Back to square one.

        Totally agree. The outstanding pillars of British justice all work on the basis that the guilty can go free if there is no evidence, they are ill, etc.. Having said that, those of a certain age will remember the Guinness trial and how Ernest Saunders became the only person ever to recover from Alzheimer’s disease. We can’t be too surprised if the public are cynical.

        Five years on and Ernest appears to have made a recovery so miraculous that he is now heading a consortium bid for Queen’s Park Rangers, the football team he first sponsored while chief executive of Guinness. To some extent he is also succeeding in rewriting history. His offences, the organisation of a secret share support operation of unparalleled scale and the payment of pounds 25m to his co-conspirators, are now seen by some as little more than a series of largely technical breaches of City rules. Many think him unfairly treated.

        The first thing that needs to be known about Ernest Saunders is that he is a liar, if only partially accomplished. This can be written without fear of the libel courts because the evidence of it during his six-month trial was so overwhelming as to be virtually irrefutable. Only Ernest himself seemed incapable of accepting it. His accountants said it, his corporate legal advisers said it, his boardroom colleagues said it, even his co- defendants said it.

          Well that is sort of what I was alluding to but even Saunders has served time, not enough, but time none the less. He served 10mths of a 30mths sentence so was 5mths short by normal standards. His crime was financial too and technically illegal . He was also not diagnosed with Alzheimer’s according to one of the quacks involved – just stress related memory loss …

          So who to believe eh?

          This is what gets me about the Janner case. There are bucket loads of allegations floating around most of which have scant evidence from ‘unreliable’ sources. These, as in the Savile case, muddy the waters to the extent that if he is guilty his guilt is hidden by a plethora of false allegations.

          It is so easy to make these allegations and create the belief that there is a pattern of behaviour where none exists. All ‘proof’ of innocence then becomes part of the conspiracy …

          Alternatively casting the evidence as a conspiracy driven set of lies is a very good way of hiding the truth.

          In the meantime real people are suffering at the hands of real paedophiles. How the hell did we end up in this position?

          Enter Tony Blair and his band of Justice Warriors …

        Around the same time they started this, the Beeb also moved to double ‘s’ possessive:

        Singular nouns ending in -s can also form a possessive regularly by adding -‘s, as in Charles’s. The Chicago Manual of Style recommends this more modern style, while stating that adding just an apostrophe (e.g. Jesus’) is also correct.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_possessive

        So while watching football you hear ‘Wales-is fullback’ rather than the traditional “Wales’ fullback”. Really p’s me off.

        This, and the nounetive, have only one advantage… they simplify English. They make life easier for those trying to learn English as a second language. But why would that be important?

          Evan seems somewhat unacquainted with somali unemployment stats in this country, which is a shame as he’s supposed to be an economics expert and he’s almost certainly on a generous six figure tax-payer funded salary, in order to be up to speed in such matters.

                The term “somali unemployment is around 70%-80%” is misleading. It is more correct to say that 70% of Somalis choose to be “economically inactive”, meaning that they have no intention whatsover of working. It was actually the left-wing IPPR that explained this some years ago in a report on immigration – see table 6.2 in http://www.ippr.org/assets/media/ecomm/files/britains_migrants.pdf

                  It takes a special sort of mindset to emigrate to a country and steadfastly refuse to work instead availing oneself fully of a welfare state into which one has not made a single contribution.

          I watched the full interview tonight on Newsnight. I also saw the interview Evan Davis gave David Cameron, so I have a comparison. It was clear Davis was trolling Mr Farage – at one point I realised Davis was speaking far more than Mr Farage throughout the entire ‘interview’; basically, one long list of anti-UKIP complaints from Mr Davis, with Mr Farage – perhaps – allowed to get the odd sentence in here or there. This continued throughout the entire interview. When Davis started going on about the Paddington Bear film I realised we were into new, uncharted realms of surrealist BBC interview technique.

          *facepalm.jpg*

          And people wonder why UKIP claim there’s a determined effort to discredit them coming from the ‘metropolitan liberal elite’.

    Just seen creepy Evan Davis interrogate Nigel Farage. I really don’t know how Farage manages to keep his temper. As expected the questions were loaded with snide innuendo and the constant meme that UKIP members are a backward thinking insular and “racist” bunch.
    Why on earth ask about some bloke winning a gold medal? Pathetic, but handled with consummate ease and charm. The last time they crossed swords Evan asked him if he minded men kissing. This time breast feeding cropped up. FFS were supposed to be hearing about Nigel’s political beliefs, not this puerile guff.
    Only a narrow minded and deeply bigoted metrosexual like Evan would think that these are relevant questions.

      Some time ago UKIP noticed that their voters have the bias factored in. A performance like tonight may make Davis popular with his ‘metrosexual total knob’ mates (as D1004 calls them), but it simply reinforces Kipper prejudice. Nothing Farage could say would bolster him as much as a circus like this.

NO questions about the concerns of the rest of us. NO interest in listening to Farage, he was batting for the gay, lesbian, Somalian other world that he thinks is ultra important, so important that without the rest of us who do all the donkey work would disappear down the plug hole in 5 minutes.

    ‘But the interview did emphasise one thing – numbers are not Farage’s strong point. On UKIP’s plan for big tax cuts and deficit reduction he was nonchalant in saying “dynamic growth” in the economy – more revenue from less tax – was the secret to it working.’

    From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32415913

    Economics is obviously not Robin Brant’s strong point (and it’s worrying that he’s still commentating on UKIP, despite the blatant bias he displayed the other day).

    If Brant studied the Laffer Curve and the theory behind it – http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/laffercurve.asp – he’d discover that lower taxes can sometimes lead to higher tax revenues.

    ‘Although the party has a comprehensive manifesto on offer, that’s not what UKIP is really about. And that’s not what some people find appealing about it.’

      “If Brant studied the Laffer Curve and the theory behind it – http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/laffercurve.asp – he’d discover that lower taxes can sometimes lead to higher tax revenues.”

      I believe I came up with an example yesterday.

      The government taxes fuel given to employees for private mileage in their company car. The employer also pays NI contributions on the employees taxable amount.

      The level of this tax has risen such that anyone on 40% tax and driving a modest car now has to do 10,000 or more private miles a year to be better off. Ergo virtually everyone has given that up and claims the 15p / mile allowed for business usage on petrol provided by the employee.

      Tax rose too far = less revenue for the government.

      When top rate rose to 50% strangely it produced nothing like expected and will not do so if reintroduced

      Everyone, including champagne socialists, set out to minimise the tax they pay, the vast majority by perfectly legal means.

      Are you using salary sacrifice to pay into your private pension?

      You save the NI contributions on that amount, and possibly move you into a lower tax bracket, which may help reduce what you actually pay as tax on a company car.

    BBC Ten o’ Clock News excelling themselves again.

    Cameron was portrayed as being on the back foot…having played all of his trump cards (economy and jobs) without any movement in the polls. So it was necessary to call for Boris to spark some like into the campaign. Then the scene was set in a day nursery ‘including strange talk from the Tories’ (to kids).

    Then a segment about our hero, Ed. That’s the Ed, according to the BBC although surrounded by supporters and has some ground to make up with some voters, is making ‘progress’…and of cause then we have a reference to Milifandom (without reference to the fact that the ‘ ‘owner’ of the site’ has referred journalists to Labour HQ for comment) a disarming interview with Miliband and the suggestion that he got the youth vote (which juxtaposed to the BBC’s Radio One ambush of Cameron makes you wonder if there is a co-ordinated BBC strategy. There’s definitely a BBC narrative at work).

    So in summary, according to the BBC, the Tories have stalled…Miliband is on the up

    The BBC are stealing this election.

      …And now on Newsnight, interviewing Osborne, Stratton twice reminds the Chancellor of his ‘Omnishambles’ Budget, suggests that his strategy was responsible for the Tories not getting an overall majority…and reminds his that he was booed at the Olympics.

      I wonder if she is going to remind;

      Miliband about his increases in energy prices and the economic crash and the take over of Labour by UNITE
      Burnham about Stafford and NHS chaos that he left.
      Balls about his house flipping tax avoidance
      Cooper about ditto
      Harman about her PIE relationships
      The Hon Tristram Hunt about the collapse of education performance
      Etc
      Etc

      David Milliband IS handsome, Ed despite his nice black hair, is not.

    Just watched Evan Davies’ monologue with Nigel Farage as his audience. It was supposed to be an interview with the UKIP party leader to enable the audience to hear Farage’s views. But at least I now know where Evan stands on many subjects.

    Compare and contrast with Evan Davis’ kindly interview with the Green’s chair Jenny Jones following her disastrous election launch with the Natalie Bennett.

    Evan shouldn’t stand up for the London elite, they have plenty of privileged time on air and in the papers to do that already.

    This individual was just featured on a Newsnight panel discussing immigration. Seems she teaches ‘asylum seekers, refugees + undocumented individuals.’ We go to enormous trouble processing legal travellers. We inconvenience millions of people obviously friendly to our culture, so as not to offend our enemies. Meantime, hundreds of thousands, with a far bigger percentage antagonistic to us, are coming here illegally. Bidisha teaches ‘undocumented individuals’. Hello? There should be an anti-terrorist law that illegals must be reported. And the BBC should be pushing this story, instead of fluffy, human-interest nonsense.

    https://twitter.com/bidisha_online/status/587921864535711744

    PS Spare a thought for the terrible conditions the ‘undocumenteds’ have to study under. It would bring a tear to the eye.

    I have just watched most of the Nigel Farage interview (recorded by me so I don’t know whether it was a live event this evening) with the bbbc mainstay, evan davis. Well, when I say interview I should say ‘argument’ I have never seen such an apalling approach to an interview by an interviewer. Davis largely completely ignored everything Farage said and just carried on with his own liberal, elite rhetoric (which he had on crib cards and referred to throughout the interview). He spent most of his time just reading from a list of what he thought were real ‘black’ marks against Farage and UKIP.

    I have never seen such woeful, unhidden aggression from a bbbc interviewer.
    I expect that the bbbc will get more desperate and therefore more nasty in the two weeks or so ahead of the election as they panic and try to manoeuvre their precious liebour (and failing that, the greens) government into downing street. How farage didn’t lose his temper with davis I will never know. I cannot remember one answer that Farage gave that was not either rudely interrupted or finished off by davis putting his own anti UKIP conclusion to Farage’s comments. The actual UKIP manifesto was discussed only momentarily and even that was preceded by talking about the previous UKIP manifesto.

        This is arguably true not just of the bbc, but of the entire political cartel, and indeed the state itself.

        I wish that your analysis was correct and that the Liberal Left Elite ( LLE), who have just about wrecked our country, are soon going to be toast. But I think that you are being way to optimistic.
        If you look at the polls the LLE and their far left comrades in the SNP, PC and Greens, have just about 50% of the total UK vote. With our first past the post system they are going to win a majority of seats.
        I attribute the likely election of a leftist government only 5 years after the great Labour Crash to three things:
        firstly, the pernicious effect of 40 years of leftist propaganda from the BBC
        secondly, a leftist education system which has left many of our voters without the ability to think sensibly
        and who live in a fantsay land where governments can do everything for you,
        thirdly, the undemocratic mass immigration practised by Labour which flooded us with immigrants who favour Labour.
        Another labour government, pushed further left by the SNP et al, will be a disaster . No doubt to bolster their position they will
        a) give the BBC more money and freedom to increase their leftist propaganda,
        b) lower the voting age to ensure a steady stream of children with no experience of life who will vote left,
        c) invite even more immigrants into our country and give them UK passports,
        d) increase the number of voters dependent on the state in one way or another.
        So getting rid of LLE is no easy task and will be made more difficult if they win the next election.

      English Gent. Let’s get specific: “Evan agrees with UKIP: By Angryman.”

      Farage v Davis. Davis agrees with UKIP Immigration policy and gives a running commentary of his own bias in one prolonged sentence! Check it out!

      This is hilarious. The Evan Davis quote comes as he interrupts Nigel FARAGE (not for the first time) at approx. 11.59m in. Nigel Farage is explaining that UKIP have already won the argument that uncontrolled immigration is affecting schools, hospitals, housing, wages, and social cohesion and are the only party in the forthcoming General Election with an ethical set of policies which accept the realities of our current situation, and which proposes a positive way forward.

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05rhmk0/the-leader-interviews-nigel-farage

      Evan D: … I’m actually not quibbling about the policy, I’m not even trying to talk to you about the policy, I’m trying to talk to you about the tone. Let’s move on… Yes Evan. Move on swiftly.

      I would have thought that when an interviewee is not waffling, but attempting to provide a full, coherent and complete answer to a question, Evan’s job is to STFU, (that’s ‘remain silent’ in old money English Gent). Can we not judge the ‘tone’ for ourselves without the skewed input from the interviewer? Would we not prefer to hear a complete answer without interruption?

      Please refrain from prefixing Davis’ name with the word ‘liberal’. He couldn’t spell it, let alone be it.

      Please stop using THEIR terms to describe themselves.

      Unlimited mass immigration is not, as Blair stated, ‘center ground’, it is radical.

      Bombing (illegally) countries at a whim for ‘regime change’ is not ‘liberal’. It is fascist….as well as being totally illegal without UN authority.

      Bringing in 3000 new ‘crimes’ as the Labour government did between 1997 and 2010 is not ‘liberal’. It is fascist.

      We must turn this terminology on it’s head. These people are radicals….not liberals, not ‘centre ground’.

    Evan Davis had an anxious emotional tone which made him interrupt Farage and appear rather rude.
    Nigel Farage had a calm tone despite the interruptions from Davis in almost all of his answers.
    As regards Ghettos, I thought the production of Multicultural Ghettos was Labour party policy. Councils here in Yorkshire preserve segregation in towns like Bradford by providing services in the Languages spoken in these Ghettos.

      There is no doubt, Mr Farage, just like Suzanne Jones no matter
      what the issue will be immediate with an answer, and try to be straight and clarified with it.
      This because there is no sham of political correctness, and to the point … leaves little for the interviewer to do apart from look for
      the soundbite, you know the tad of perceived “waycism”, the tiny bit of perceived anti gay/anti HIV/anti breast feeding mothers etc.
      They are there for debate, can defend their issues, whatever.
      Unlike the Tory liars we have in Government, who cannot, who lie, obfuscate, are deliberately evasive/squirm to avoid scrutiny, and refuse to debate,(they know will be exposed/laid bare) if they do.
      They will not reveal their future agenda, (“long term plan” 😀 er right! … which one). rely on smear, doctoring figures, politics of fear, and using the Tory money boys to skew the media.

      Another Tory … Another “lie a day”, today George “Pinocchio” Osborne emerges from under his stone, to lie about his record,
      his doctoring of figures, to smear and snipe … to talk up the SNP again, when actually questioned goes onto droning autopilot, another evasive, squirming Tory liar.
      That’s why UKIP have growing popularity

      Agree. If Evan Davis wants a ghetto he can come to a wide range of northern towns, park his car and walk around some of the immigrant districts. I guarantee that within 10 minutes of a white person doing that, they will begin to realise that they are being looked at with suspicion by the local ethnic males and after another 10 minutes they will become fearful and want to get the hell out of there. A white face is not welcome.
      On another BBC programme, The History of Our Streets , they had an episode about Deptford in SE London. It showed in an unbiased account ( must have slipped through the censor) how and why Deptford had changed from a cohesive homogenous community in the early sixties to a multi ethnic mess 50 years later. As one market trader put it everyone round here hates everyone else. Perhaps Mr Davies could find Deptford, I don’t think he could find Bradford, and he could go there and ask the few white people left there what they thought of the great social experiment that the liberal left have foisted on them. He would then get the truth of what the English really think about what has been done to our country by the likes of him!

        Think about it – he obviously regards multiculturalism and mass immigration as really cool, but I’m willing to bet he doesn’t live in a fully, ie almost totally, enriched area.

        He works in london mostly, so I don’t understand why he doesn’t move to somewhere like, oooh I don’t know, say Whitechapel?

        Chaps like Evan are really popular there so I’ve heard, and it would allow Evan to fully appreciate the great society he and his comrades in the bbc have been instrumental in creating.

    I know this has nothing to do with BBC bias, but they (the BBC) did have the decency to show a very unflattering clip of Arthur Scargill on the news channel yesterday ranting about the minimum wage:
    [WalesOnline http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/former-miners-union-leader-arthur-9093780 ]

    “Among key policies included a major increase in the minimum wage so people would earn at least £25,000 a year.

    Mr Scargill said: “It is not unreasonable to bring in a minimum wage equal to the average wage.”

    A minimum wage equal to the average wage??? Either that means everyone earns the minimum wage (in which case it will be the average wage), or there needs to be another wage system immune to the laws that govern the minimum wage.

    NURSE!!!

    I bet Len McCluskey would second that proposal. And seeing as Unite are dictating Ed Miliband’s policies, it really is going to be a case of turkeys voting for Christmas!

    Not only is it a shame, but the thought that the Conservatives could lose the election on the back of economically illiterate Labour ‘carrot-and-stick’ promises, might just nudge me to migrate to Hungary.

    And the Telegraph “Miliband SNP pact would cost families £350 each”

    And the Express “EU will force up mortgages”

    Yes, the BBC is getting even more desparate.
