"<i>We</i> have great viewer concern," eh? Whatever happened to Complaints From Both Sides? I bet they tell people complaining about Farage's lack of appearance that complaints show they get it about right.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-4178949068693117082017-02-04T13:50:55.928+00:002017-02-04T13:50:55.928+00:00The Importance of Being Hugh.

She's got a "Head Girl" attitude that the school wishes to hear lots of different voices as long as they all support the Head Teacher and the school's ethos. She really doesn't see any contradiction between "free speech" and "being responsible".<br /><br />I notice she had no answer to Mibourn's reply to her boring and oft-repeated observation that Farage is not an MP: "Yeah, but he is an MEP, he has been elected by the British people as an MEP by his constituents. And he is also leader of his party's political group in the European Parliament, so he is still a person of some influence."<br /><br />Ahmed's position is completley illogical. She claims that the "impartial" BBC should only feature "responsible" (which for her means politically correct) views unless he person is an MP. The BBC cannot be impartial if it features only politically correct views. And it is not at all clear why an MP has more licence to give their views than an MEP, an MSP, or a county councillor. <br /><br />I seriously doubt that the Ahmed Doctrine would go unamended if Nuttall was elected to the Commons.
