Well I would vote for it but I am not an MP and a lot of them will think the BBC is fair because it favours them. No matter what it costs us.

It seems it is well past the time when the BBC registered itself as a political party, rather than just being the mouthpiece for a liberal set of ideas.


41,
You did indeed read something the other day that confirmed the BBC still gets funding from the EU.

Who wrote that letter ?
It's a House of Commons Early Day Motion signed by several MPs, see this link if you are interested in which ones.

Seeing that it's a bit "populist" I can understand why anyone might think it a hoax, now I don't know if it will ever be selected for debate, and even if passed, acted upon. Sometimes the givernment gets the message from these EDMs.

I never thought i would arrive here.


Will it be an expose of the BBC?


23.2 19


I sae emiky maitland v dennis skinner


Now john sweeny.


Seen too much on newsnight to belive in impartiality.


Then saw a link to the Times wherein their reporter spoke of outsourced juveniles exported north to be gang raped.


Its hard to believe...but you know it to be true.


What crimes!
