It may be my imagination but I could have sworn that when the Labour Party were pushing the concept of a 'living wage' the BBC were all in favour and arguments against it were dismissed. Now that the Conservatives have, however cynically, adopted the policy it seems that the problems with the policy need to be aired.
This article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-33678919 investigates the possible negative impact on part of the health service and local government.
It is incredible how the left, including the BBC, can change their minds about a policy so rapidly depending upon who's proposing it. Now where's my copy of 1984...
"the left, including the BBC"
