Excusing the bad UK borrowing figures

The BBC's report that the UK's borrowing hit a record £163.4bn in the last financial year has more excuses and 'explanations' than they have managed before. I have long documented the BBC's habit of excusing and explaining bad economic figures under this Labour government (of all the imbeciles) in a way that is completely at odds with the way that bad economic data under the last Conservative government was reported. But this report takes the biscuit, by my calculations of the 16 paragraphs (mostly very short) in the article - 8 are straight news, 3 are critical and 5 are excuses or defensive. I wonder what the respective proportions would be if this was a Conservative government or indeed were in an equivalent article from the early 1980s.
