M21er Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Who is this Faisal guy? Faisal Islam - WiKi Faisal attended Manchester Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge. He graduated from City University in 2000 with a Post Graduate Diploma in Newspaper Journalism. He has gone on to make a big impression with his journalistic style at Channel 4.[1] Faisal Islam is now the economics correspondent for Channel 4 News, after being business correspondent since May 2004. Prior to this he was an economics correspondent at The Observer newspaper. He reports on the ups and downs of the corporate world from government-subsidised arms dealers, and failing PFI contracts to how bankers are trading weather.[2] In January 2007 Faisal was announced the winner of the year's Broadcast News Journalism Award at the Workworld Media Awards.[3] In February 2006 Faisal was named Young Journalist of the Year at the Royal Society of Television awards.[2] He was awarded the Wincott Award for Young Financial Journalist of the Year in 2000, and shortlisted for Young Journalist of the Year at the British Press Awards for 2001.[2] In May 2009, he collected the Wincott Foundation's award for Best Television Coverage of a Topical Issue, won particularly for his work on the growing financial problems of the Icelandic Banks. The judges said of the report "...here was something really new, completely convincing, with a stellar interview and free of many of the visual clichés which characterised too many financial programmes." In 2009, he also picked up the Business Journalist of the Year award, as well as the BJOYA award for "Best Broadcast Story" - again for his report on the Icelandic Banks. In January 2010, he was named "Broadcast News Reporter of the Year" by the WorkWorld Foundation for 2009 - with the judges saying “His excellent writing converts abstract economics to something accessible to all, informing viewers in a compelling and original way.”[4] Edited August 25, 2010 by M21er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shindigger Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 No, its the poor who spend so much of their income on rent, that any government meddling with taxes and benefits is insignificant in comparison. After all, capping tax credits is a real killer when you have to pay £500 a month in rent. Rents will have to come down then. Crackin.
