I blogged on this over on A Tangled Web but I have to admit I was HORRIFIED by the way the the BBC ran it earlier today. In true totalitarian style, the idea that the old should be “encouraged” to swap their property with our booming younger population (Demographics suitably opaque)was posited with little sense of alarm. In fact. it all made such good sense. All the State needs to do is “encourage” those who are 45yrs+ living in houses with bedrooms that they do not use to sell up and move into a nice comfy inner city multi-storey flat. What could go wrong?

There is an excellent article by Melanie Phillips here on the way in which the BBC has handled the Carol Thatcher issue, well worth a read. As Melanie points out it is the totalitarian mindset of BBC1 Controller Jay Hunt which is so deeply disturbing, they just cannot see how arrogant and prejudicial they really are!
