MP hypocrisy over BBC building

MP’s have been quick to condemn the cost of the BBC’s new buildings near white city (see here). Apparently the BBC spent £270 million - £60 million over budget. The BBC classed the extra expense as furniture - excellent!

Of course this is another helping of double standards on behalf of some MPs. We need not look too far back in time to remind ourselves of a similar scenario...

The BBC’s retort could be to drop the odd jibe about the Scottish Parliament building. This eventually opened at a cost of £431 million - some £322 million over budget!

At least in a way I guess we all benefit from the BBC building (if you own a TV) - but what about the Scottish Parliament building...?
