Scrupulously fair over at the BBC...

I'm trying not to let this turn into a one-note blog, but I feel I'm being thwarted in that aim by the BBC.

Question Time was no more than usually boring tonight. (Margaret Hodge was incredibly sanctimonious, patronising and self-righteous. I wonder if she practises her beatific smile in the mirror.) Interesting page on the panel on the BBC site, however. Note that we're reminded, although it was ten years ago and he was merely accused of "dissemblance" in the mire of Neil Hamilton's scandal, of David Willets' resignation over the cash for questions affair. How odd, then, that no mention is made of the far more recent and significantly more serious smear on Margaret Hodge's record, where children ultimately in her care were systematically abused while she was leader of Islington Council. So, we're quite prepared to dredge up the past in the shape of a moderate cash and falsehood scandal to remind people how awful the Tories were, but heaven forfend we mention the systematic child abuse scandal from three years ago for a Labour minister. That would hardly be cricket, what?
