favouring one thing/person over another
 
more partial to someone or something
 
so maybe not in a position to judge fairly

well, what did you mean then, when you said, you were "biased"?

I'm biased in favour of Russia - surely you don't need to guess why

Got it )) "biased" is an adjective here, not a passive form as I thought. I've got some kind of an idea why you can be in favour of Russia, you told me the other day. As for me - I'm biased in favour of the EU rather than of anything else.

One of our political parties, UKIP, want us to come out of the EU

The key word here is "one". They just run out of silly ideas to poison the voters brain. In this I see few similarities between the countries. We've got only one party though... But this is not much to do with the EU but with its member countries and their life level and approach to life.

A lady and carer couldn't board the bus so had to go up the station approach to the Metro at Timperley station :(
 
However a female bus driver told us there would be a bigger bus soon  O0

Hi Celeste, We had 2 small buses, one to Altrincham and one to Wythenshawe. Arriva changed the route of the Altrincham
bus (only from Craddock Rd to Norris Rd) but it's quite a walk if you are not steady. Now we have to get a bus and a tram.
To complain (I've tried) is a waste of time.
I was as pure as the driven snow, till I drifted. Mae West.

A survey is going to be carried out in the next two weeks by GMPTE planning team to investigate the service bus No.20, so we'll just have to wait now.

Caught the 'Mickey Mouse' bus this afternoon and there was a guy from GMPTE asking each passenger how they would get home if there wasn't this bus, he told the driver he had been taking notes all day and nearly everyone had complained
 
The bus was also 15 minutes late and the driver who had just come on the shift blamed the traffic when he was asked.
