Biased BBC contributor Daniel Pycock writes “If you thought the BBC were pushing the “too far, too fast” line last time, just wait for more of their output regarding George Osborne’s planned cuts between 2014-16. Take a look at this most recent article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25617844 I count thirty four sentences in total, of which seven contain what Osborne actually said.
