Right old fuss as Beeb blasts Left

I find it funnier than Theresa May’s Lord Lucan act that her party have complained to the BBC about an audience she couldn’t be bothered addressing.

Apparently the crowd invited to Wednesday’s leader’s debate – carefully selected by ComRes – was wildly left-wing, meaning the BBC is run by Corbynistas.

I wonder if the complainants watched the BBC’s 10 O’Clock news on Tuesday, which led on Jeremy Corbyn screwing up a radio interview and never mentioned George Osborne calling the Tory manifesto “the most disastrous in living memory” – despite ITV and Sky going big on it?

My reading of this election is that if anything, the BBC’s coverage has been very pro-Tory, possibly because its bosses are desperate to keep those right-wing critics who want the licence fee abolished off their back.

Which is far more of a threat to our democracy than a polling firm not pulling together an audience that satisfies the Daily Mail.

Still, the playing of the anti-BBC card is a great sign. It means they’re rattled.
