Look East: I'm not one to complain ...

I am not the kind of guy who whinges about the media - as they say, like a sailor moaning about the sea - but tonight's headlines on Look East are quite remarkable.

Home Secretary told she's living in cloud cuckoo land over impact of police cuts
and
The VAT Rise: How will this impact upon our region's industries?

Fair and balanced? Hardly; how about ...

Government brings country back from brink of bankruptcy
and
Stability returned to region as Labour's massive deficit is finally tackled

I await tomorrow's fair and balanced bulletin with interest ...

Antony the economy wasn't on the brink of bankruptcy, as our deficit is still lower than other industrialized nations such as the United States and France in terms of GDP.

I am also concerned about the police cuts and what impact it might have on the region.

Particularly when front line policing will be hit.
