The importance of plain speaking

Falmouth & Camborne's Lib Dem MP Julia Goldsworthy has some explaining to do. Speaking on the BBC 3 "First Time Voters' Question Time" she appeared to suggest she thought it would be a good idea if the BBC was forced to sell Radio One, and to close some of its websites. This is contrary to national Liberal Democrat policy.

Her remarks have provoked some fury and indignation on the Liberal Democrat Voice website - together with some comments suggesting that Ms Goldsworthy was mis-reported. I'm trying to get hold of a transcript of exactly what it is she did say and will post her exact words on this blog as soon as possible.

But whatever it was she was trying to say, she must now spend time on the back foot - time I'm sure she would rather spend campaigning in the new Camborne & Redruth constituency.
