Hasn't he received more complaints about anti-Corbyn bias than just about any other BBC show or Beeboid? It's the old numbers game, and 'balance' hath been provided. Job done, Complaints From Both Sides proof of, etc.<br /><br />Did anyone else notice that when Paul Mason explained why Corbyn is getting all these huge crowds, he was describing Trump supporters and the reasons why Trump won? Or he could have been describing Brexit voters and that result. Yet Mason hates the people who voted for both. The masses know best unless it's the wrong result, in which case, well, you know.....<br /><br />Not a bad segment with Pointless Paul Nuttall.<br /><br />Marr's economic illiteracy showed itself when he let McDonnell get away with saying that the OBR's multiplier states that one pound 'invested' creates one pound of return, so all borrowing in Labour's manifesto is covered, wipes its face. Marr protested that it can't be 'cost neutral' if the economy isn't growing. He completely misunderstood. He also didn't realize that what McDonnell was claiming said nothing about the existing debt. All future borrowing will pay for itself, so never mind about the current debt? Marr may be clever, but he's an utter moron all the same.<br /><br />Still, he shouldn't be getting any complaints about anti-Corbyn bias, anyway, as he was much more severe on Green (who, quite frankly, deserved it more). In fact, it was left to Green to bring it up afterwards when they faced off on the sofa.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-63274113531604450962017-05-21T12:50:59.954+01:002017-05-21T12:50:59.954+01:00Lest we forget...Marr was a very active extreme le...Lest we forget...Marr was a very active extreme leftist Trot at uni. Was it Socialist Organiser? One of those sorts of groupuscles...He probably feels uncomfortable with McDonnell, someone who has stuck to the Trot Credo from youth to old age.
