BBC must be gutted to see Denis MacShane, one of their favourite pro EU go-to guys, being forced to resign from Parliament owing to expenses fiddling.  A Biased BBC reader observes; “This evening (Friday)just after 5 pm Eddie Mair and Paul Mason were discussing the Dennis McShane resignation and the tone of it was that because he was reported by the BNP it was all their fault and not his. Now … Continue reading →
