Was it all a dream? The BBC are pretending it was.

The BBC (presumably under Labour instruction) have decided that the best way to present yesterday's results is to "go big" on Boris, who they will be then attacking with all the fury that their leftoid minds can muster, rather than the incredible wind for the Conservative party over much of England and Wales in the local elections.

The BBC news UK home page has as its main headline "Johnson is London mayor: Conservative Boris Johnson is the new mayor of London - ending Ken Livingstone's eight-year reign at City Hall." but apart from the election chart, nothing about the Conservative victories.

The BBC news England home page has the Boris story as second lead with the main lead "Prayers for McCann anniversary - Church services will be held in Portugal and Britain to mark a year since Madeleine McCann went missing.". An obviously far more important story than that of the Conservative party's ever upwards trajectory.

For any "front page" news on Labour's rout, you have to go to the BBC news Politics home page where the number 2 story (how appropriate) is "Brown 'disappointed' by poll loss - Gordon Brown admits to "bad and disappointing" results, as Labour has its worst election showing in decades." Strange how the story is, even here, told in terms of what has gone wrong for Labour rather than a positive story about the Conservative party. The BBC just cannot bear to be positive about the Tories, can they.
