    I'm sure everyone on here will be totally chuffed that Rupert Murdoch has got his man into Downing Street.

    I'm also totally chuffed that as a relief from the tension of recent hours, someone's taken the trouble to make so gloriously daft a post this. Unless you do -- seriously -- think it wuz The Sun wot won it, and something called Sky News???
    Gordon Brown made mistakes but a thoroughly decent politician/man and was lauded as the Iron Chancellor for years on end.

    Ah. I now realise: you have the full Sky TV package. Including the Fantasy Channel.

    PS: Not wishing to douse your theory with reality, but the broadcaster with the most overt connection to Mad Murdoch's point of view can only be one person and one person alone: the former president of the Oxford University Conservative Association and Chairman of the Young Conservatives nationally.

    His name is Nick Robinson and he's Political Editor.

    Of, er, the BBC. . .

    And labour looked after the unemployed more than the Tories ever did.

    Youth unemployment up 50% since Labour came to power.

    Nice one.

  • jonewer, you really need to look for your facts in other places, other than the Sun news paper.

    in the midst of a global recession.

    Unemployment (a) lower than it was in either of the two Tory recessions and (b) lower than in Europe. Youth unemployment half that seen in places like Spain. Nice one.

    Phylpho. Nah not got full package with Fantasy Channel. In fact I used to like Sky News but think ill stick to the Beeb from now on. I like to make my own mind up.

    Paxman/Boulton......No contest really.

    What I was getting it is the Biased reporting by Boulton/Burley via Sky News. News channels are 'by a code of practice' supposed to be unbiased and impartial. Newspapers do not have these restrictions and I never mentioned the Sun.

    Z

    I hate to shatter your illusions, but Boulton is maried to ZaNu Labour royatly and was a team member of the Blairite tribe.

    His lovers' tiff with the sociopathic Campbell was just thieves falling out.

    As for the BBC, are you serious, or is this an elaborate joke? The BBC's Leftward bias is transparent. Which, of course, explains why you, a Left-winger, think it isn't.

    So Boulton hasn't got a mind of his own and just follows what his wife does......Really.

    Is that a bit like Cherie and Tony Blair.


    BTW not a left winger......I vote on merits and have voted Tory as many times as Labour i think. Just do not like being dictated by the Media with scaremongering tactics and Vile treatment of a man who has served his Country
