Blatant lies were stated on BBC Wales News last evening when the whole tenor of the item was pro-Welsh assembly government
See Welsh voters prefer Cameron to Miliband as PM, poll suggests for the full article.
What can I say? The numbers just do not support Prof. Scully's statements, which were the basis of the news report on BBC Wales News last night.
Similarly on education policy.
Clearly Arwyn Jones thinks £3,000 fees are more generous than Scotland's free tuition!

Support for further devolution of power to the assembly fell to 40%, from 49% in September.
Around one third of those questioned - 33% - said the assembly had sufficient powers, up by 7 percentage points. Four percent said it should have fewer powers - up 2 points - with 13% wanting to scrap the assembly altogether - up 1.
Support for independence had doubled from 3% to 6%.
"There is a divide now between those who are reasonably happy with things as they are, and the somewhat larger group who would like things to go somewhat further, but not as far as independence," Prof Scully said.
Asked to pick which institution they thought was most likely to improve things for themselves and their family, 38% chose the assembly, 26% the Westminster Parliament, 20% their local council and 6% the European Union.
Senedd, Cardiff Bay Most people polled said the assembly was most likely to improve things for them
Prof Scully said this showed "a sort of broad, residual goodwill" towards the assembly.

On university tuition fees subsidised by the Welsh government, nearly two-thirds of those polled backed support for students attending any UK university, while 37% said they should only be supported to study at Welsh universities.
BBC Wales' education correspondent Arwyn Jones said: "It's not hugely surprising that so many people in Wales are in favour of the Welsh government's tuition fee grant. It's the most generous offer to students of any part of the UK."
