This conservative Yank was rooting for a Labour MP

Well it makes a surprising change for any presenter at the BBC to give these corrupt (self) servers of public trust a hard time, so she gets my vote. Perhaps she acted more out of personal disgust at these greedy vile politicians than usual Beeb policy. Here's a newspaper article on the subject Labour peer forces BBC newsreader to disclose £92,000 salary in astonishing on-air expenses bust-up

Hmm, I've only just noticed this, but it is really most amusing. You guys do know that the Scottish Lord in question is called Lord Foulkes, don't you? Lord Faulks is a Conservative Back Bench Peer who made his maiden speech today in the House of Lords. George Foulkes is really quite well known, not only for this spat with the newsreader but also for his football connections and his defence of Michael Martin over the handling of expenses in the Commons. I find it quite scary that people complaining about bias would not be able to distinguish two entirely different people.

I'm an American but knew he was Labour, we both did. But you can be scared, very scared I simply forgot the e.

Good grief Steevo you forgot to put in an e ;D

We must be doing a great job here if that's all dissenters can find to argue about I take it as a compliment
