Channel 4 News fronter Jon Slow AGAIN showed his backwardness when he failed to take his own questioning of Tory George Oborne to its logical point... When Oborne said that unlike Gordon Brown the Tories would have spent the money BETTER, SLOW should have asked Osborne to name at least some representative [as examples, as evidence of Gordon Brown’s incompetence and bad management of the resource] projects on which Gordon Brown had spent the money BADLY... Had Jon SLOW been honest and had he even known his own news programme [which in October 2007 published a list of criticisms of the Crossrail plot] he would have asked Osborne whether Osborne would scrap Crossrail to save money......But Slow is not honest. Nor is he as knowledgeable about the ‘subject matters of his own news programmes’ ....So he did not ask Osborne about scrapping Crossrail....Slow thus failed to follow up any other aspect of Osborne’s assertions... Had SLOW had the knowledge and or had SLOW been honest, SLOW would have asked Osborne about the ‘ECONOMIST ‘ magazine article and quizzed Osborne on the UK constitution... and the role of the UK parliament in holding the incumbent Prime Minister to account on such a level that the ‘UK's’ resources would have been only applied and or sued when there was genuine evidence and transparent case made fro such uses....Unlike the UK Parliament being used as a stooge place which is not holding the Government to account and is in fact allowing wrong and unaccounted measures being pushed through parliament at the behest fo secret forces that are mainly Big Business and the military industrial complex ...........................[To be continued]
