So is it a March general election

Gordon Brown can't risk having his puppet Chancellor present a Budget in March 2010, a budget that would have to show (wouldn't it) that the economy has not performed as well as promised in the recent deceitful PBR. Also can another fiscal year really be planned without talking about actual and vital cuts? Of course not, well not without the financial markets taking flight from Sterling and the ratings agencies downgrading the UK's sovereign rating.

So are Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson planning a March election, an election to be fought on lies and spin about Labour 'investment' versus Tory cuts? With the BBC already becoming more overtly pro-Labour, or more accurately anti-Conservative, by the day, it is clear the pre-election campaign is under way. The Today programme is being used, even more than usual, to set the agenda in as anti-Conservative manner as possible, but the other BBC programmes will do their best to assist. Do keep an eye on Beeb Bias Craig for his measurements of BBC bias.

Tonight with Political Betting reporting that

"The government’s main communications arm, the COI, is said to be pulling all outdoor advertising from after the end of February. This could be just precautionary but the convention, as I understand it, is that there is a big restriction on advertising by government during election periods - and you can see the reason why."

It seems that 25 March may be election day.

With an election set date for before any Budget the BBC would be free to forensically examine the Tories plans, run scare stories about 'Tory cuts', rises in unemployment and a return to uncaring early 1980s, meanwhile leaving Labour to claim all would sweetness and light under a returned Labour government. The most worrying thing is that this Labour/BBC plan might just work and Labour's destruction of the UK could continue - if so it's bye bye UK for many.
