I watched the Politics Show, through TV on demand. If your not familiar with the format the Politics Show consists of a national and a local section, since presumably London is deemed more important, when watching it through TV on demand London suddenly becomes my locality, rather than the south coast.

The subject was about Lee Jasper and allegations of corruption by him and racism from the Evening Standard (hardly a left wing paper at the best of times). I was expecting a balanced debate a usual happening by the excellent Peter Henley but the journalist in charge of the interview didn’t even let this politician speak and instead produced a list of leading questions without allowing fair discourse. Now I’m no Labour supporter but I was disgusted that I wasn’t allowed to form my own opinion because of the interviewers unjust tactics. A point was made by the politician that other stories about Boris Johnson were essentially being covered up, normally Id dismiss this as the usual blame shifting but in this circumstance, I am somewhat swayed by the argument.
