I mean, I'm struggling to see what is quite so frustrating... it's a budget - and from the UK. Hence, UK Budget.
The reality of this is the UK-based news channel has been closed down. The new style guide for this channel has an international audience in mind so, just like BBC World News, there is a need to not presume it'll be a UK audience you're speaking to. The same principle would apply if it was a French budget, for example. You'd hardly expect the Channel to just assume the audience was familiar with the French political cycle.
It would be nice to stop repeating the same old arguments in this thread for every news story. Perhaps we should all wait til the new channel launches before passing judgement?
