The Real World At One

For all her faults, Auntie knows a non-story when she sees one. Only in the closing seconds of The World At One, and then only in terms of Phil Woolas and his reference to "this Pratt of a woman", was there any mention of "Bullygate". Quite right, too.

"Sleaze" was the wrong issue in 1997, and either that or this is the wrong issue in 2010. But we cannot have a General Election campaign based on policy differences, because there aren't any.

  1. "Auntie" went big with this story when it broke - it's only now that it's got a bit complicated that it's being sidelined.

  2. Not really, she didn't. Last night's Ten O'Clock News was pretty much "move along, nothing to see here". Quite.
