The story about the ‘supercop’ making 1000 arrests in 18 months brings to mind the phrase ‘quality not quantity.’ Maybe the Mail should look up which police officer brought most people to trial or had the most successful convictions. Unfortunately that wouldn’t fit with the Mail’s tub-thumping anthem about the bravery of this police officer.
A new BBC ‘row’ which is complete rubbish. A new 50p coin design was chosen from entries to a competition which closed in March, in May the finalists were chosen, in June the winner was chosen, and in July the winner’s father was appointed as the new boss of the BBC Natural History Unit, Andrew Jackson. The Daily Mail have construed this as the father using his influence at the Natural History Unit to choose the winner of a Blue Peter competition a month before he was appointed. That takes some doing.
Britain is in danger of going bust. Where to start? We are about mid table in the percentage of debt to GDP and the budget deficit being one of the highest in Europe for this year is not going to change this hugely. The article shows that our budget deficit is quite high but fails to explain in any way how we are in danger of going bust. More tabloid fear-mongering I’m afraid.
