Neil Wilson — Complaint to the BBC over terrible video about government spending

Peter Martin kindly drew attention to an appallingly bad piece by Hugh Pym that has been published on the BBC Online website.

Once again it perpetuates the myth about the government drawing on a mysterious pile of financial resources that are out there somewhere in the world (in this case a pile of red sweets). Both Peter and Alex Little have complained to the BBC and got the usual dismissive response.

But it got their attention. So now it's my turn, and here's what I wrote:

Neil adds: "The BBC, being quintessentially British, makes it very easy to complain. If you can see the video then please complain about it, and ask that it be withdrawn."
