Anyone know why there is such a disparity between Sky and BBC numbers of council sets won and lost ?
BBC: C + 256, La - 331, LD + 34, PC +33, Others +5
Sky: C + 300, La -434, LD +33, others + 101
Both organisations have almost the same number of councillors elected, and both sets of numbers balance back almost to zero, so what on earth accounts for the difference ?

The figures on seats - I gather that for the 2 new unitary authorities in the North East, the BBC simply regarded every seat as NEW. But many of the wards are old wards - and the Tories won many of them, Labour lost many of them.
As regards the BBC's scornful treatment of Boris, don't forget that many millions of Londoners voted for him. Many of them will be annoyed at the way the BBC scorned their chosen candidate. In effect - scorning their own judgment of the man and what he wants to do.
So hopefully some new people will recognise the bias at the heart of the BBC's political reporting.
There is a ratchet effect working here. Years ago people did not regard the BBC as biased. In the Thatcher years an increasing number started to complain about the bias and that number has been steadily growing. Once there was some 100% passive acceptance of the licence fee - now there is an ever-increasing number (not just Sky viewers) who question why they are forced to pay for biased reporting.
And I am sure Boris will have seen or been told about the stupid way the BBC has been behaving. Andrew Gilligan for one will be telling him - he helped bring down Livingstone on factual arguments, did more investigating of the chicanery at the London Authority than most of the othermedia combined - and will have a line into Boris now, I expect.
What the clowns at the BBC simply don't seem to recognise is that Boris himself is a journalist. He knows that you can run polemical arguments - but you better be right. And if you are supposed to be impartial, unbiased - you should not be trashing one side all the time.

JohnA -" gather that for the 2 new unitary authorities in the North East, the BBC simply regarded every seat as NEW."
You are quite right there - Durham had a unitary authority imposed on them by Labour - despite a referendum which massivly rejected it, and the promise that the council will not change if the vote for the Regional Assembly was defeated.
This is NuLabours idea of "listening" The change was political as Labour wanted to get the Lib Dems out of Durham City Council which they won a few years ago.
There are people up here though who would vote for labour no matter how nasty they are - they simply cannot think for themselves.

Sounds like typical Labour gerrymandering in the North East. They will have hated the LibDems coming in.
I worked in Newcastle back in the days of T Dan Smith - and that crook Andrew Cunningham was Chairman of Durham County Council, chairman of just about anything that moved. Real Tammany Hall politics. His son John Cunningham MP was just as creepy.

Thats exactly what I thought when I read it - the NuLabour years have been a disater for Britain, on tax, democracy, immigration, coruption etc. Their policies have been foisted on the British people with no thought at all about what they would "feel".
Gordon Brown inherited a sound finacial system from the Conservatives and he did nothing but tax and spend (usually on welfare). The man is incompetant. Socialism left Britain on its knees in the 1970s and NuLabour are no different
It will take many years to put this country right (if it ever can be) - but I really don't think the Conservatives are up to it.

"The key to understanding the BNP's attraction is perhaps more easily found in places like Nuneaton, which Labour lost after three decades of control.

How does the BBC know that "traditional labour" supporters stayed at home? I would think that the "traditional" labour voter was more likely to vote for the left wing BNP then a "conservative" voter.

The fag-end of Today this morning had the usual (since Friday anyway) weepy post mortem and the endless "what are we (ie the BBC/Guardianista tendency) going to do about it?" analysis. Interviewed - or rather consulted - were John Kampfner of the New Statesman and Steve "the London electorate is too stupid to vote in the way I think it should" Richards of the Indy.
Then we had Andrew Marr on at 9:00 giving uncriticised airtime to a pacifist who - as usual - blames the UK and US for the Holocaust. I wouldn't mind (there may be a case) but the three crits I read over the week-end on this idiot's book listed in detail his pick and mix misquotations and rubbish analysis. Not a mention of this from Andy, let alone any critical response. No sir - this is the BBC after all and the line that Hitler was probably misunderstood and the nazis murdered untold millions of Jews, Russians etc in a fit of pique because Churchill (a Conservative remember!) refused to talk peace in 1940 fits in well with the "BoJo will burn down multi-culti London" theme.
We did, however, get a very restrained disagreement from another invitee. Mind you, since this guy was the statutory climate catastrophist he had to be modest in his criticism just in case his later uncriticised rant was derailed (as if!) by the other nutters on the panel.
So, par for the course from the BBC.

just watching time team , about the lost lands of the north sea and the english channel.
basically, 100s of thousands of years ago, sea levels were much lower, and the thames was a tributary of the rhine.
so far so good...
now the FOSSILS they have found for this time period, are lions, sabre tooth tigers, hippos, rhinos, elephants, and giant deer.
oh wait - that's not tundra like fauna is it?
thats a warmer climate. and yet the sea levels were lower.

I used to live near the North Sea. When I was lad I used to collect sea coal from the beach (only available at low tide) and sell it around the houses - and as everyone knows coal was created from ancient vegetation. You could also often see tree trunks buried in the sand.
The problem with this AGW religion is that they are trying to re-write the past to fit in with their "theory". It only exposes the sham when people watch such programmes as Time Team.

yeah - time team covered that - tree trunks in the sand in a beach in wales.
along with with lots of sabre tooth tigers...
so if lower sea levels = colder climate, how come their were tigers,lions, and elephants wandering around england and the north sea doggerland region? eh?
i think i know what the answer is - put some ice cubes into a glass of water. note how the water level RISES...
is it not fair to assume that therefore, a reduced northern polar cap would result in a LOWER sea level?
put that in your pipe and smoke it, Al Gore...

"The implications in a warmer world are staggering. If the entire Greenland ice-sheet were to melt, sea-level would rise by seven metres. Even a fraction of that could overwhelm defences. "
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservic...ate/
page4.shtml
But the BBc will not give up - The North Polar region is not a landmass it is floating. Greenland is however a landmass but it is not like Antartica - the ice has already melted there during the Viking period.
But the "scientists" are back peddling on this -
"There will not be ses level rises of the predicted 3 meters as was first thought as the scientists initially forgot that a lot of the melting ice was already floating on water and therefore would not add to the sea level when it did melt, as the water was already displaced."

"Gordon Brown got a pretty easy ride when he appeared on Radio Four's Today programme ahead of tomorrow's local elections.
It was certainly less adversarial than the confrontation with David Cameron on Tuesday. To be fair, Mr Brown must be a difficult politician to interview because he trots off reams of stastistics in the same colourless manner that he honed as Chancellor, but which hits the wrong note as prime minister.
But why did John Humphrys not ask some specific questions to which we would like to know the answers. For instance, will he scrap the 2p fuel duty increase due to take place in October?
What, precisely, is the package of measures to compensate those hit by the 10p tax abolition?
And when Mr Brown insisted that he was right to abolish the 10p rate because it benefited everyone and he wanted to target the poor, his interviewer could have pointed out that it was he who introduced it."

"Last night plumbed new depths. The producer allowed Tony Robinson to turn it into a thinly researched piece about climate change. Having made the interesting point that climate change was nothing new, and having established or asserted that the Channel was once a huge river delta with the Thames a tributary of the Rhine, Mr Robinson then proceeded to claim we could now be about to experience something similar for very different reasons based on modern climate change theory and the role of man. He suggested we are now in a warm period, without pausing to ask why he had just revealed animal bones which implied much hotter weather in ancient Europe. He produced no evidence for any of the assertions about what might happen next. Perhaps C4 will now offer a Conservative historian a reply programme."

"Environment Secretary David Miliband said international action was needed to curb the emission of greenhouse gases that scientists say are warming the planet.
"I think that the scientific debate has now closed on global warming, and the popular debate is closing as well," Miliband told Sky News television"
"There isn't really a debate, there's a reality of global warming," he added"

"How bad workers could end up on a national database"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/
On the front page of the BBC "News" website - Misleading or what? - It is nothing to do with "bad workers" which they explain on the link - its about theives. So why the misleading headline? Tabloid BBC.

"Youths who persistently misbehave and intimidate others in their communities should be "harassed themselves", Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has said."
This is Labour through and through - trying to con people in believing that they are doing something about crime when all the time they have caused the problem in the first place.
"But Jan Berry, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said there was "nothing new" in the home secretary's speech.
"Police officers were targeting and disrupting those who cause anti-social behaviour for years until the presence and value of the bobby on the beat was no longer recognised.
"Frontline policing must be carried out by fully attested officers, and not by community support officers who, despite their best efforts, are not respected by the yob element."

Every single Home Secretary labour have had have actually tied the polices' hands behind their backs - and on top of that promoted New Labour todies to top police positions. Not one of them with any backbone.

So the BBC invite people to put their questions to Milliband
"If you have a question you'd like to put to David Miliband on this, or any other issue relevant to the Foreign Secretary then please let us know.
When we've put this request to you before regarding other guests, there have been murmurs of discontent when questions haven't made it to air. This time, as well as answering some of your questions on the programme, the Foreign Secretary has kindly agreed to respond to several more via the Newsnight blog tomorrow morning."
So they are admitting that only "some" of the questions will be put to him.
I bet they don't ask him this -
"How can you have a straight face when claiming that a low carbon economy is the key to low food prices, when it is the knee-jerk reaction to increasing atmospheric concentrations of CO2 that has led to monstrous hikes in the cost of food crops?
How can you justify this when the earth has been cooling for a decade and the most recent data categorically shows that human induced global warming is NOT happening? "

Is Harribin getting a backbone? well maybe slightly.
"Some modellers are now warning that feedback mechanisms in the natural environment which either accelerate or mitigate warming may be even more difficult to predict than previously assumed.
Research suggests the feedbacks may be very different on different timescales and in response to different drivers of climate change"
"So far modellers have failed to narrow the total bands of uncertainties since the first report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1990. "
"If we ask models the questions they are capable of answering, they answer them reliably," counters Professor Jim Kinter from the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies near Washington DC, who is attending the Reading meeting.
"If we ask the questions they're not capable of answering, we get unreliable answers."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/t...ech/
7381250.stm
The reason for this piece seems to be to argue for more money for the playsation "scientists"
But reading the piece left me in no doubt that the message is - that climate models are not up to the job. Expect Jo Abbass to email Harribin anytime soon.

even the bbc ten o clock news is acknowleding the Nazi connection to the Fritzl case in austria....
and yet , we have go into a "union" with these people. i dont think the bbc realise the wider implications of this case.
oh wait.. maybe not - jacqui smith wants the police to act like a bunch of brownshirt thugs.

"THE vultures are circling over Burma's dead. Hey, isn't that fat one Al Gore?
Sure is. And - flap, flap, plop - there he lands, the first to go picking over carcasses for scraps to feed his great global warming scare campaign.
What the world should be learning from this terrible loss of at least 60,000 people in the cyclone that hit Burma last week is that tyrannies kill more surely than any freak of weather.
But Al Gore, who won a Nobel "Peace" Prize for terrifying people with his error-riddled An Inconvenient Truth, wants you to blame instead his pet bogeyman. Tremble, sinners, before the wrath of a hot planet! "

a small point - but have you noticed that MNF Iraq press releases have toned down their language
http://www.mnf-iraq.com/index.ph...id=4&
Itemid=128
notice the usage of "criminals" instead of the more loaded "terrorist" term.
its a sign, i think, of the growing confidence and power of the Iraqi army, and indeed the Maliki government, and the collapse of Al Q in Iraq.
what was once fearful "terrorists" are now merely dismissed as mere "criminals"...

shock horror... "any questions" is relatively balanced this week.
alan duncan : conservative
alice thomson: daily telegraph, conservative
lord rennard: lib dem
frank field: labour, but a sane pragmatic chap.
so thats roughly 50% conservative, which kind of reflects that Sun poll ratings story.

ok folks - frank field on "any questions" has basically threatened to bring down gordon brown.
THAT is political dynamite.
and what does the following "any answers" lead on - bloody Burma... they're blabbering on about the thing.
sorry beeboids - but unless the U.S. militarily overthrows the burma junta there is sweet fuck all you can do about it. but it is rather a nice smokescreen for Dimbledore to hide the one eyed snot gobblers troubles and Fields backbench coup d'etat threat.

"Labour should apologise to voters, party members and workers for "mistakes made in recent times", a junior health minister has said. "
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_po...ics/
7393566.stm
What is it with the Labour Party - saying sorry is just stupid - how can saying sorry help anyone? Bloody weasels - they are thinking about their seats - not the public.
Its obvious:
"Mr Lewis became MP for Bury South in the Labour landslide of 1997 and took his first ministerial post in 2001 in the Department for Education and Skills.
In the recent local elections, his local authority of Bury, near Manchester, was won by the Conservatives for the first time since 1980. "
