NEGATIVE OUTLOOK, POSITIVELY ASSURED

Hah! I did laugh at this interview with Ed Balls and his former Girlfriend Stephanie Flanders on today. To be fair to Flanders she did try to be neutral but Balls narrative that “we must go for growth and ease off on the cuts” is still very much the BBC mantra. I have to say that it strikes me as surreal that the BBC allow Balls to get away with his dreary monologue without any real focus on the dreadful economic legacy Labour left behind. Is it a thought crime to discuss how Balls messed things up?
