I never watch or listen to the bbc. Their only aim is to tick boxes. They spend more time making news than reporting it. I survive perfectly well without it in my life. I would scrap it immediately.

a right wing organisation cosying up to a potential future PM farage to persuade him not to scrap the licence tax so they can carry on living off our cash and do nowt to deserve it. He won't be PM. And even if he was he wouldn't scrap the licence tax (his one good policy) or stop the boats.

Bullseye is so much better than the 'quizzes' of today. It has real, demanding qs, not multiple choice where the only aim is to build tension and fill time. They cascade the prize down the teams. Contestants wear ties - not shorts to display ugly tattoos. A joke in its time but unrivalled today.

Protesters at the asylum hotels are doing it 'to keep their children safe.' There is no truth to this; indeed the only statistics are that there have been 6000 attacks on asylum seekers. It's all racism beneath the most gossamer of veils.
