Apparently she once sidled up to a draughts player and said 'check' in his ear. She was also reputed to have marched through local villages singing 'One night in Bangkok' and 'I know him so well'.

Headlines on today's OECD UK economy forecast. BBC reporting is getting fucking ridiculous.

BBC : 'Tax rises and tighter spending to hold back UK growth, OECD says'

Reuters : 'UK set for faster growth in 2026, slower inflation, OECD forecasts'

It's almost as if it was a right wing MSM concoted non-story bolstered by the 'left wing biased' BBC.

Will there be an internal BBC investigation into sytematic right wing bias led by an external consultant ? Someone like Alastair Campbell would be a good impartial person to conduct it.

This can't be true - all the MSM have been telling us different. Are you saying this is just another right wing media concocted issue like the supposed BBC left wing bias ?
December 2, 2025 at 3:35 PM
Just because you and the rest of the right wing MSM keep repeating this nonsense doesn't make it true.

The workers protection from day one was a bad idea as it would have a very negative impact on taking a risk on new employees. If you had a 'chequered' past it would become much more difficult to find a job. Changing it to 6 months is a good compromise.

If the person who wrote this was a journalist they wouldn't be working for The Independent.

FoM is an opportunity for the economy, wealthier retirees and mobile youngster.

It is only a price for the bigots and xenophobes.

And the answer would be ;

If policy was introduced by the Tories : 'Best thing since sliced bread !'

If policy was introduced by Labour : 'UK is going to the dogs !'

If any of my staff had behaved like that they would be looking at a disciplinary meeting. Appalling behaviour.

Rachel Reeves should say tomorrow 'The country voted to be poorer in 2016 and today's budget is one of the receipts for that decision. Well done those who voted for Brexit.'
