  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  This prize goes to the dynamic combination of Alistair Darling and the BBC for the BBC headline "Recession worse than estimated" and the first lines of this report "Chancellor Alistair Darling will say in his pre-Budget report that the economy performed worse in 2009 than he first predicted, Treasury sources have ...

• Reducing the deficit is not the same as reducing the debt

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  I know I blogged about this yesterday but people still seem to be confused. The BBC report the promise thus: "Fiscal Responsibility Bill - Provides a "firm and binding statutory basis" for the governments promise to halve its budget deficit within four years." Hansard report this part of the Queens Speech thus: ...

  The BBC report but only on the Business Pages that "The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) climbed to 1.5% in October, up from 1.1% in September. Meanwhile the Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation measure, which includes mortgage interest payments and housing costs, rose to -0.8% from -1.4%." I thought that the agreed ...

• The Labour party return to the "politics of envy" and misdirection of blame

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  The news that Alistair Darling is to introduce state control of bankers bonuses via the Financial Services Bill due to be introduced soon leaves me unsurprised. Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and the BBC have run a very successful campaign to lay as much blame as possible for the economic crisis on bankers and thus ...

• Thats not quite what he said is it BBC?

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  The BBC report Mervyn Kings latest pronouncements under the heading "UK recovery only just starting". Oddly they then report Mervyn Kings words thus "The UK economy has "only just started" along its road to economic recovery, according to Bank of England governor Mervyn King." To me "only just started" on the road ...

• BBC terminology

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  The BBC report Peter Mandelsons "attack" on The Sun newspaper and include this phrase "The Tory-supporting paper...". Its odd but when The Sun was a supporter of first the Tony Blair and then the Gordon Brown led Labour party I dont remember the BBC describing the newspaper as "The labour-supporting paper". Why ...

• Laying it in with a trowel

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  Nick Robinson as usual decides to cover a major story from a Labour supportive angle: "Dressed in a dark suit and sombre tie, his voice deeper and more gravelly than usual - suggesting hed had even less sleep than usual - and with damp eyes occasionally glistening in the camera lights, Gordon Brown sought to limit ...

• The BBC go all "Kevin the Teenager" this morning

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  One piece on the BBC today programme this morning just before 08:00 had the odd echo of Harry Enfields Kevin the Teenager as it pointed out just how unfair it was that The Sun was using Mrs Janes story to maximise embarrassment to Gordon Brown. I gasped at their cheek when they said this as I dont remember any similar ...

• "apparently"?

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  The BBC are still in full defend Gordon Brown mode over The Sun story about his misspelling of Jacqui Janess name. The BBC head up their piece with the words: "Gordon Brown apologises to a mother after apparently misspelling the name of her dead soldier son in a letter. " Take a look at the top of the from The Sun ...

• If its an anti-Brown story then the BBC lead with the defence

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  ARRSE alerted me this morning to the story in The Sun about Gordon Browns scribbled and poorly spelt letter to the parents of a dead soldier. Do read The Suns article and ARRSEs take on the story; there seems to be very little respect for Gordon Brown amongst the military, I wonder why. Meanwhile the BBC lead ...

• "mass immigration under Labour was not just a cock up but also a conspiracy"

  
  Not a sheep — Authority: 151
  This is one of the most incredible and maybe political landscape changing stories I have reported since I started this blog. The Telegraph report that: "The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the ...
