Letters / Opened the floodgates
I read, with some interest, Brian Smith’s letter about alleged BBC bias against the Labour party’s Ed Miliband (‘Blatant bias from BBC’, SN 8/11/14).
Is this the same BBC which is constantly biased towards the left wing? It is strange, perhaps, that Brian never writes to complain about that.
With regards to Miliband, the guy is the worst Labour party leader since the last one, Gordon Brown. The guy is performing very poorly and forgetting to mention the economy and immigration during his recent keynote speech, at his party’s autumn party conference, is typical of his complete inability to have any grasp of what actually matters in Britain today.
Given that his party wrecked the economy systematically over 13 years and opened the floodgates to eastern Europeans, whilst wildly underestimating the numbers arriving (wasn’t it suggested by Labour that only 13,000 per year were going to turn up?), it is perhaps no wonder that he conveniently forgot to mention these two issues.
As a non-Labour supporting voter, I will be happy if Miliband remained their party leader for many years to come. A certain Mr Len McCluskey might think otherwise.
