Ah so the above was the story… Walked into the living room with Sky News on and Kay Burley is defending the BBC over impartiality and so was the person in the studio…. I was convinced I was in a parrallel universe Sky News defending the BBC over impartiality and saying the evidence is that there is no evidence Just really odd to see

Optional extra in an Audi?

The first reformed Ride album was decent, I never bought it though. I did buy the second one and in all honesty it was disappointing The Slowdive comparison is valid as both reactivated around the same time and both brought our decent albums around the same time. I haven't listened to that track posted, I probably will but I'm also not in a rush to either I got bored of Ride first Time around after the first album too if I'm honest but to their credit they are trying to be something different, Slowdive no so much but Ride's different is just a bit Indie by numbers IMO

Rooney, he'd tell Crouch he shagged his Gran and Crouch would burst into tears. Later Crouch would turn to his art O Level and paint tortured pictures for the rest of his life

Considering I have Son and Salah still on my bench I'm pretty pleased with my 62 points with Estupinan still to play considering I also took a -4. Pretty much guaranteed a green arrow and if Estu hauls I might get inside the top 300k (Currently around 320)

Port Talbot was 57/43 for Leave

I broadly agree with the sentiment (agree re govt vs Leave) but when you have the Audience Producer openly courting and inviting EDL members to audiences, that isn’t anywhere near representing the general population, the audience could be a couple of thousand and one EDL member in there would be over representative. If one thing came out of that whole fiasco it was that QT now has a more transparent process but around then, they even refused FOI requests on how the audiences were composed.

The BBC shouldn't have “a position”, that isn’t it's role.

Yep, it’s got me gripped and I really am the don’t watch much TV person, let alone this style of programme

Happy Birthday @sidcow have a virtual gift, sorry, they couldn't fit the numbers in for each shed

Also shows the relative stupidity of Tory voters and their inability to look beyond the headlines in the rags they read

You’re missing the point somewhat. There are state broadcasters and public broadcasters, public broadcasters are free from political interference. Russia, Hungary and Poland don't have any public broadcasters that I’m aware of. Lots of countries do though. France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Ireland… The problem is that the BBC news output is veering towards state and away from public. You only have to look at say how Question Time audiences were rigged in the run up to Brexit, the political appointments to the BBC board etc, the ludicrously biased Laura K to see this. The Tories don't like it because they are programmed not to because of what it is. Nationalised, not for profit, funded by licence payers etc. You rarely see them complain about its content these days and when you do it’s generally Tory mentalist logic and not based in reality.

Sometimes you just have to. Original 1985 pressing with red/green labels and not one of the many re-issues

First of all, no this country does not have a majority of Conservative voters, not once in anyone’s lifetime have they got more than 50% of the votes. Secondly, even if the country did have that, the whole point of the BBC is to be unbiased, not biased to what way they think the country votes.Thats just a ridiculous notion.

Apples and Pears, comparing the BBC to Fox is ludicrous

Not exactly, we need a government prepared to hand the BBC it's impartiality back, proper impartiality... I suspect the wait will be some time

Maybe we should ask the resident expert .... oh I see he already thinks they are small

@osmark86 that might be in Castles In Space territory, might be worth getting in touch with them

If only SEAT made trucks

That was Trump and the story goes that a number of proposals were put before him with one being the "he'll never go for that" option which made the other options seem more palatable, except Trump chose the batshit crazy assassinate the General option. The assassination took place on 3rd Jan 2020, three days before the Capitol Insurrection
