BBC and Newspeak

In the foreword to his 1984 Orwell wrote that this was not a criticism of socialism but a warning for British society. A brilliant example of latter-day Newspeak I found on the BBC website:

Taxpayer 'set to control Lloyds'. Then the articles go on how old boys at Lloyds' Banking, a private company, gambled and screwed it up huge time and their Whitehall cronies bailed them out to the tune of 260 billion pounds. Which exactly the opposite if the title, typical Newspeak.

The article goes on. According to BBC political correspondent Carole Walker , many people in Westminster think that "it would be simpler and easier for the government to nationalise the banks, and that in the long-term it would save the taxpayer a lot of money..." Now how on earth is that going to save the taxpayer any money at all?
