Having put taxes up to record levels and got himself into a real mess by taking away the 10p band, he now reckons what's really needed is tax cuts.
Of course it's all down to combatting the recession which he had nothing at all to do with and nothing whatsoever to do with trying to salvage his job. 
More cynical populist U turns to follow methinks. |

Mr Brown said: "We need to have the interest rate cuts accompanied by another stimulus. This is a big opportunity. I believe we will make progress."

So when an idea doesnt work thats the new way of hiding it simply suggesting it needs to be accompanied by something else.

The thing is that it is not 'beyond debate' that they are responsible for the mess we are in and just because some sections of the media do not agree with your assessment is not evidence of bias on their part, only on your part.
There are enough media sources around that agree with your views so go to them if you simply wish the media to agree with you.

The bbc are pro government bias something that some of us will argue for all time. The BBC have an official policy of been biased in the peoples interest, this is what I got told when I complained about some BBC stories that werent based on facts. Quite who decides whats in the public interest I dont know.
