"Norton's sausage jokes. Barrowman's rent-a-celebs. How Saturday night has become BBC TV's graveyard" By Jan Moir.
[Extract]:
"Asnwer me this. How many more sausage jokes and hamster innuendos can the nation take? Judging by the reaction to Totally Saturday, the BBC's disastrous new weekend prime-time show, the answer is: not many, thanks all the same. "For this light entertainment flagship, inevitably hosted by BBC favourite Graham Norton, has plumbed new depths of programming horrors. "The series launched five short weeks ago in BBC1's prestigious Saturday teatime slot – and has been an unqualified catastrophe."
By Andrew Alexander ('Daily Mail', 'debate' section.)
[Opening extract]:
"With Tony Blair launching his own plan to save the world (groans), and the G8 leaders also unveiling their thoughts about global warming, this is a big week for environmental fanaticism. Whatever he or they offer, it will not be enough to quell the warmists' semi-religious fervour. They are like medieval preachers, proclaiming to baying crowds that the end of the word is nigh. "
"I’ve had mothers coming up to me with two-year-old children in their arms saying: “Don’t you have any kind of morality? This child’s future is being destroyed.’’’ Plimer’s response to the last one is typically robust. ‘If you’re so concerned, why did you breed?’"
"Irish treaty voted set for October" ('Europe' page.)
[Extract]:
"The treaty, aimed at streamlining EU institutions, was rejected by Irish voters by referendum in June last year."
Comment on this at 'eu referendum':
"The BBC, not to be outdone in the economical with the truth stakes, also tells us about those guarantees, adding for good measure that the Lisbon Treaty was "aimed at streamlining EU institutions". I suppose abolition of parliamentary democracy does streamline institutions."

BBC's push for 'Yes' vote in Ireland:
BBC report:
"Irish treaty voted set for October" ('Europe' page.)
[Extract]:
"The treaty, aimed at streamlining EU institutions, was rejected by Irish voters by referendum in June last year."
Comment on this at 'eu referendum':
"The BBC, not to be outdone in the economical with the truth stakes, also tells us about those guarantees, adding for good measure that the Lisbon Treaty was "aimed at streamlining EU institutions". I suppose abolition of parliamentary democracy does streamline institutions."
(Extract from 'Looks like October 2' at eu referendum blogspot.)
BBC's Islamic priority continues with this:
"'Hijab martyr' rally due in Cairo"
BUT, BBC ignores this:
"Muslim persecution of Christians"
(go to: 'frontpagemagazine.com', and excellent VIDEO:
"Muslim Persecution of Christians"
(video: about 10 mins duration.)
Perhaps someone can tell me why the Irish are voting on something they have already said no to?
