    Millie, be careful. Saying such things may make you the object of a rather unwelcome fatwa!

    I know, I know…reckless, revealing my personal prejudice and incurring the wrath of any good bearded folk on this blog. What can I say? It’s true, I hate beards, they hide a man’s face. By the way, didn’t Mrs Thatcher have the same prejudice?

    If Mrs Thatcher did, then you have a very valid point. But watch out for low flying fatwas anyway….

    Dr. Michael Jones, I am assuming you are referring to the West Midlands’ best in class regional news bulletin “BBC Midlands Today”?

    If so, I agree with you completely. Presented by a couple of grinning idiots, including a washed up ex-daytime TV presenter, this programme is lowest common denominator tripe.

    The whole programme has a left of centre agenda, its current agenda is to exhibit faux concern about “the downturn” whilst still pumping out the soma-like human interest rubbish.

    Mention of the Midlands reminds me I read a story yesterday in the newspaper about a BBC News presenter in Birmingham having been charged with assault and having an offensive weapon.

    It was reassuring to learn that he wouldn’t be presenting the news for the time being. No mention, however, of being sacked for bringing his …ahem…esteemed employer into disrepute.

    I wonder what you have to do to get sacked at the B’oid Farm. Look at ol’ Justin Webb who is a hopeless communicator, can’t spell and can’t write for toffee, yet they don’t sack him…God knows why.

    Those are the skills they’re looking for on Today, apparently. As long as one’s vowels are flat enough, of course.

    Yes, David, you also have to be lightweight, skitter across the surface, pause to shallow-dip here and there but never get to grips properly with anything.

    Right up his street, eh? Not very taxing and should suit the lazy, smug and shallow Justin down to the ground.

    Millie Tant,
    I should have posted it here, not on the other thread. Never mind:
    Paul Donovan in the ST calls Webb’s ranting “measured reporting”. Yeah, right. Calling Palin ‘unfit for public office’ is measured reporting…

    However, in defence of this place.

    Posters don’t have to register and alternative opinions have been tolerated far more than many places would allow.

    Good luck, and congratulations on the 3 million hitz.
