I just sent an email to Feedback on Radio 4. I restrained myself a lot more than I wanted to:
The fact that this was broadcast immediately after an interview with Vince Cable in which he was awesome, as usual does not excuse it, in my view, but only makes it worse.
What is the radio 4 news team playing at? On the Today programme AND the World at One today, there have been two separate items in two separate held Liberal Democrat seats about how people who live there need to vote out the sitting Lib Dem MP in favour of a Tory because if they vote Lib Dem they'll get Labour. Clearly, at least in those two seats, if they vote Lib Dem they'll get Lib Dem because that's what they have already got!For reference, the piece on Chris Huhne's seat this morning was worse than the one this lunchtime, but this lunchtime's report was infuriating because it involved talking to Labour and Tory but NO Lib Dems in Lib Dem held seats! WTF?!
Does the Representation of the People Act not prevent you from broadcasting such misleading Conservative propaganda?
