I watched the lunchtime edition and got quite a surprise. Usually the presenters are up the arses of local politicians such as Leese and Karney and go out of their way not to ask 'difficult' questions. Anyway, today that red-haired thieving troll Hazel Blears was on. Her smarmy message was that she'd repaid £13,000 she should have paid in capital gains tax but still insisted that she had done nothing wrong or illegal and had acted fully 'within the rules.' Until today I'd always considered Ranvir Singh to be nothing more than a newsreader. Anyway, today she laid into the lying 'dishonorable' member for Salford with the tenacity of a rottwieller. This was not plain reading from an autocue script. Jeremy Paxman would have been proud of the performance. Though Singh failed to extract a definitive admission of law-breaking from Blears it was a joy to behold watching the red-haired woman wriggle and squirm. Well done Ranvir. Hope its repeated on BBC Northwest Tonight.
