Yeah, that is quite misleading . . . the subheading makes it seem like a rise in income tax, rather than the removal of a tax break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that the BBC and in particular, 'she-who-shall-no-longer-be-named' are well and truly front and centre in their bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2019 Ah, I remember the good old days when questioning the impartiality of Kueensberg and the Beeb was just Labour whinging. It's **** blatant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Just had a look at her wiki page........she's one of them, it's no wonder she's so bias. Her Granddaddy was governer general of Nigeria and her sister is a diplomatic envoy to Mozambique.......other usual shit in her family, a few OBE's here and an MBE there and of course, a truck-ton of wealth and land. She and her family have a vested interest in seeing the conservatives win this election. The real question is why the BBC are doing nothing about removing her.

Well, it's also very telling that the first category that appears in the list for making a formal complaint is 'Bias'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's almost as much part of the establishment as Johnson and Rees-Mogg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Worth noting that Channel 4 news often remind people that they don't get to ask Johnson questions as he controls what media he speaks to. Kuenssberg has unrestricted access. I also remember it being a 'debate' over whether she was biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't misleading at all. If the tax that people have to pay goes up, then it's a rise in income tax, pure and simple. They will be paying more tax, and that's it really.

We aren't going to agree on this, but FWIW I don't agree, and I think that's simplistic. The headline talks of a 'tax hike', and the subheading compares this to the top 5% of earners, who actually are in line for an increase in the basic rate. At no point, in the either the headline or the subheading, does it refer to the marriage allowance tax break, which also clearly doesn't apply to all low-earners. I think that's misleading. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 You're right, we're not going to agree on this. A 'tax hike' is simply paying more tax. This could come about due to a number of factors, including increasing the tax rate, or reducing or scrapping allowances. The end result is the same though. And it's not just the married couples' allowance, it's the change to the tax on dividends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
