BBC and Conservative confusion

Just like the Conservatives are a bit confused over whether or not they are planning to cut inheritance tax if they take power, so too is the BBC over how to spell the plural of Tory.

I noticed the unusual spelling on the BBC News channel this evening, shame then that an article on the same subject on the Beeb's website uses the more usual "Tories" spelling.

DISCLAIMER: If you take a fine tooth comb to every article I've ever written no doubt you would be able to pick out the odd spelling or grammatical mistake.
