    "Sources close to the BBC have learned that the BBC thinks the BBC audience is not aware the BBC is as bent as a nine Euro note" a BBC 'spokesperson' has not been quoted as saying.

    Odd that, almost as if the BBC don't want us to give the islands back to Mauritius...after have campaigned long and hard for the last 50 years for us to do so! :)

    But then , the BBC is about as principled as a pimp on cocaine.

    Once again, you've highlighted the absolute corruption of the whole system of BBC titled editors. Their job is to give opinion, and editorial policy allows their opinions to inform everyone else's journalism. Once again we have to wonder, how is this not a complete and utter violation of the impartiality remit?

      Their review of the Radiohead gig at Glasto should be a hoot.
