PMQs and Nick Robinson

BBC Daily Politics following today's PMQs with the ever more pro-Gordon Brown Nick Robinson making some quite serious accusations about David Cameron. I wonder if David Cameron will tackle Nick Robinson about them the next time their paths cross.

Meanwhile, on his blog Nick Robinson's latest post is entitled "Problem for the Tories" and concerns Mervyn King's "support" for Gordon Brown's fiscal stimulus "plan". Hmm, can anyone see why Mervyn King might decide it would be best to support Gordon Brown's plan? What did Eddie George have to say about being encouraged to cut interest rates at a time he thought there was a risk of more house price inflation, and why has Nick Robinson and the BBC decided not to report this?

How fulsome was Mervyn King's support? In my eyes, Mervyn King was saying that the stimulus must be short term and paid back in the medium term. What plan has Gordon Brown espoused for the paying back of this fiscal stimulus? How will it be paid back, I assume higher taxes?

Odd that Nick Robinson decides to talk about this as a problem for the Tories, has he noticed the latest unemployment figures, the latest Peter Mandelson story? Most likely he has noticed these stories but gauges that what his Labour masters require is an anti-Conservative story and like the good little lapdog that he is, he did his duty.


I predicted not long ago that the BBC pro-Labour bias would be ramped up in the run up to the general election. The BBC are so "in the bag" for Labour that they have no alternative but to keep going. If the Conservative party manage to defeat Labour and the BBC at the next election then I suggest that they conduct an investigation into political bias at the BBC since 1990 (20 years) and force disciplinary action for breaking the BBC charter against all found to have exhibited bias. I suggest Norman Tebbit as the man to lead the investigation, maybe backed up by Richard Littlejohn. Perhaps when James Naughtie, John Humphrys, Peter Allen, Victoria Derbyshire etc. are sacked and replaced by unbiased journalists and presenters we will have a BBC worth paying the licence fee for.
