Personally, I think SR did a sloppy job on this one. I have no problem whatsoever with journalists holding public officials to account. What could be better anyway?

Firstly, the fire issue was unwarranted. Apparently, the fire was caused by a collision due to the Police's illegal stop-and-search. The LASG doesnt control the police, so why hold the Guv to account. If at all, the question should have been directed at the Emergency services (fire & ambulance) response time.

Secondly, the reporter did a shoddy job of asking questions of the Guv's integrity and payments to the Tax consultants- ABC. If you're going to accuse someone of stealing public funds, and a lawyer at that, you'd need to come up with facts. Of course, the tax consultants would be paid for providing a service (better question would have been do we need that service when there's the LIRS); SR should have come up with figures to put the payments in context.

Finally, all that ranting about "not being BBC", "the Guv being annoyed", was utter bollocks!
