Well I got two out of three with 28% for Labour instead of 30%.

“are you on the same planet?”

Same planet jon-but a different country.

Maybe the BBC is different up there!?

Down here it is unashamedly & embarrasingly biased. ( listen to Peter Allen on R5 Live with Gove after the Tory Conference). It’s 24Hr News TV channel dishes up the most superficial political analysis on view.
Only Andrew Neil is worth watching.

Sky beats them every time.Boulton is incisive, informed & objective-everything the BBC is not.

Fox is a Republican Party supporter & tells you so.Once you remember that , you can admire the real depth to their political analysis. We have nothing to match it in this country.

Anthony, I feel I should apologise for drawing that discourse out longer than necessary.

Perhaps if I’d started commenting here a couple of years ago it might’ve looked more like I was in agreement with JJB, but maybe this exchange reflects expectations of a return to the ‘age of spin’ indicated by the cabinet reshuffle.

It will certainly be interesting to see how the public responds to any return to ‘message management’.

Joe – you haven’t, that’s just the other things that really annoys me – you’ve never done that. This had just devolved into a partisan argument about whether the Conservatives or Lib Dems were better (and check your email).

Anthony, where have I spinned polls in a partisan way?
Most of my posts actually have referred to the government catching up.

As for my comments about the budgets and the financial situation, I think they are good deal less partisan than a number of posts on here.
