    I saw Have I Got News For You today on iplayer.

    The host called Gove a TWAT.

    Very wrong.

    HIGNFY has been going downhill over the past couple of years with it’s obvious bias.

    Hislop and Merton used to be amusing but it seems that they are dancing to the BBC’s tune for the sake of a cheque.

      Did seem a bit gratuitous.
      Perhaps more unforgivably (in luvviedom terms), despite, or maybe because of being shoehorned in as it was, the response in the room seemed less than embracing.
      The actual audience seemed mute as the fake one dial was turned to 11, and even Hislop, Merton, Noble and whatever the other chap was had the grace to look like our Kirsty had been made to say a word she really shouldn’t have.

    Jeremy Clarkson is set to sign a new £12m contract – just weeks after footage emerged of him using the n-word.

    The ‘Top Gear’ presenter is set to complete negotiations on a three-year deal that will keep him at the BBC until 2018.

    A source told the Sunday People: “There is no question of Jeremy’s deal not being renewed.

    “It is being worked on right now. The top executives want him signed up as soon as possible.

    Funny how easily the BBC can compromise it’s far left principles when they have a successful program they don’t want to lose.
    Never mind the profits, the BBC couldn’t give a damn about a few million from a £5 billion budget, the point is that the BBC has very few popular programs, and even fewer which are popular with overseas viewers and Top Gear ticks all the boxes.

    Just an addendum to what happened in Kingston on the Euro count on Sunday. Tories won with c14000, UKIP came SECOND – ahead of Labour, LibDems and Greens. This in a leafy outer London suburb. Our share of the vote was 23%.

    The count took from about 3pm to 8pm. We “knew” what the indicated results were. But when we went back at 10pm, there was no formal announcement by the Returning Officer, the Council chamber where the vote had been counted was closed. There were 2 Labour guys present, 3UKIP, nobody at all from any other party and no local press. We were outside in the bloody corridor ! The Returning Officer simply plonked a sheet of the results on a side table. Labour had somehow lost 500 votes from what we had seen at 8pm – no explanation. Hole-in-the-corner “democracy”. I was ashamed that my country has sunk to this – yes we knew that pour local result was simply being fed into the overall London result. But hell – the people of Kingston had voted on Thursday, are they not entitled to be told formally what happened ? The Council website has zilch on the Euro results.

    It used to be called “mushroom management”. Keep them in the dark, but keep shovelling shXt on them.
