Spot the difference...

between Extra funding for capital police force and City police cash blow.

The former is ooh, extra £600,000 for Lothian and Borders Police, isn't that great, while the second points out this is rather less than what L&B Police actually asked for... and that the police have already spent the money anyway.

There are two real issues here. The first is that for a very long time the L&B Police have been woefully underfunded, stretched to their limits and increasingly unable to do all of their jobs.

The second is the increasing lack of nuance in the BBC's online news, which I think has become more and more noticeable over the last year. Increasingly the BBC seems to package "news" as a collection of facts, usually presented without context, and summed up with bland and sometimes arbitrary conclusions masquerading as analysis. Maybe this is because their online news articles are just so damn short...??
