Comments on: Election special and live blogging… http://www.liberalconspiracy.org/2008/05/01/election-special-and-live-blogging/ If there wasn't one before, it's time we started it...

Good grief, the Beeb has moved to a witless, dignity-less universe. Playschool, but with less intelligence and irony. Back to Stalin and Bean AGAIN.
