    With respect.. It is all our business..all 500 million of us. This private organisation has funded the election of a number of now public representatives. They are the Public Representatives primarily of UK people, but because they are now in the EU Parliament, they are unfortunately my...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    One small step for sanity. What I cannot understand is why any of the 274 would be prepared to vote themselves out of relevance ..if even for a month. If they are so hell bent on Brexiting ,the door is always open to do so..Even if it means stuffing the agenda or order paper with unimportant...

    Yes.. I think I can concur with Fingers on this one. And he will indicate that there are beancounters with stopwatches ensuring that both sides get equal time...Even when the level of intellectual argument is utterly convincing on one side and banal on the other. It makes for infuriating television.

    Yes. . I actually agree with you that the BBC is a very good operation. The BBC licence fee is probably one of the lowest ..

    Sorry..I watch French TV every year,and while the SECAM was better than the UK and Irish PAL,for colour, the French digital is still better and what we both use. Now the program content is another matter, and the French channels are obsessed with pre revolutionary costume drama,and game...

    That may well be so on the DM, but it more likely that they also are preaching to the choir.. In that the majority of like minded people are likely to pick it up and a minority of those will be sufficiently incensed or motivated to actually go through the process of logging in getting...

    Zlatan, unlike the DM, I actually heard what she said..her English is very clear and precise. ..And what I posted earlier was a fair reflection on what she said.

    To assume that only white people living in England and voting a certain way is racist,and other different pigmented peoples are not is decidedly racist. The treatment of high cast Indians to others is racist, as is the emity between Hindus and Muslims,is racist.. I tried reading the History of...
