Just happened to catch a few minutes of World at One on Radio 4 today around 13:30, to hear Mark Mardell interviewing somebody about the UKIP proposals if they should get elected.
To be fair the interviewee was doing a good job at explaining the proposals, and not the usual hatchet job we’ve come to expect from the BBC. That was until Mardell asked him about the proposal to scrap the HST ‘Vanity Project’, as UKIP refers to it.
You can hear Mardell’s scoff here, and judge just how fair and impartial he is being. You can also hear how the interviewee is drawn in for a second or two until he recovers composure.
