I wonder why this has not been more widely reported in the Right wing papers and websites?

Disgraceful that it ever happened at all, even more so that it has taken so long to resolve

This is not new. A number of studies have shown the bbc to be very conservative in their approach (small c) and pro establishment.

Slightly off topic, a great speech at the Bafta’s by Peter Kosminsky regarding the present governemnts attitude to public service broadcasting

the only agenda here is your own John.
As the good Captain Jack Sparrow once said

the problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude to the problem. Do you understand?

Truth, you can’t handle the truth.

Regarding the ‘invitation to reply’ see my earlier post #8

Re #1

1/10 for the rant, 0/10 for spelling.

Many are intending to ****off as you so charmingly put it. Thanks to the combination of poor management, incompetent government and media attacks. Where will the doctors come from to fill the void?

So, at the risk of beginning another marathon, you agree with Trekkie that we should disregard our own deprived in favour of corrupt elites in third world countries.

There you go again,putting your own words into my mouth.

That’s not what I think at all. As I am sure you realise.

Don’t let your own prejudices overcome your common sense.

I would sign a counter petition if there is one, especially as I think it is the one promoted by the Daily Heil

the government response is already on that site

“The UK’s aid commitment means we can be proud to be a country that not only meets its responsibilities to the world’s poorest, but in doing so best serves and protects its own security and interests.

I find it strange that fans were absolved of all blame.

Not my words but relevant from another forum when this came up there:

” That’s part of the lies – the deliberate ,manufactured lies – that those responsible for the care of people at that match began manufacturing to cover their own arses. Lies that they invented, and then perpetuated by falsifying and modifying statements, passing lies about drunken ticketless fans to the press, and perjuring themselves in court for years. Lies that are still in the ears and minds of lots of people 27 years later. But the jury today dismissed them as exactly that – lies. Clear verdict is that there was no behaviour by the fans that contributed.”
