Is the BBC charter up for being renewed again soon then ?, or do they simply hate Milliband even more than the Tories ?

Don't think the charter renewal is until 2016 but they do seem to be keeping their head down. Great opportunity to reinforce some real world examples of hard pressed, hard working families in fuel poverty and show the actual increase over the past year rather than quoting some meaningless rate.

What is really sad about this post, is that even if it described me, which it doesn't, the lifestyle portrayed is infinitely better than your current one of lonely pot-noodling in a bedsit. At least the hypothetical 'permie middle ranking civil servant' would get laid now and then.

Let's look at this logically shall we.

1) The lonely pot noodling, squirrel stroking, CUK cut 'n' paster business owner with a penchant for a pseudo-intellectualised style of economic bollox.

Versus

2) The married but pot noodling, ego stroking, CUK cut 'n' paster senior manager/director with a penchant for a pseudo-intellectualised style of economic bollox.

Mmmm. Difficult to choose a winner here.
