Come-on Sirius, whey-hay...LOADS-A-MONEEEEEEY....


the secrets they're not divulging is that Harry Enfield was successfully cloned more than once.....

....hence the Loads A Moneeeeeeee muppets in power.......

...they're saying they haven't got enough, so we gotta pay more!

What!! they want to be able to buy two houses in London at the tax payers
expense then? Having all these politicians now has got to be old hat. The
local councils should be able to deal with all the paraphernalia that the
residence go to see their M.P's about. The old system has been running for too
long now so needs an overhaul, a new way.

Just like the BBC due for a very long-overdue overhaul. Ban soaps, ban reality
shows and ban politicians from ever speaking on the T.V ever again....the tele
is for entertainment purposes and politicians are not entertainers. There we go,
a new vision for the BBC, to be informative, entertaining and totally
independent of view and of any outside influences too....sounds like the BBC of
about 50 years ago then.

I think Humpies out for the evening, we'll just have to drag him kicking and
screaming into the 21st century. Once settled then he'll encompass all that it
has to offer with great joy and pleasure and then relish all the challenges that
it presents him.

But he will not be allowed to appear on the BBC though!!

Hmmn, attempting to divert attention from your "friends" at the BBC Del-boy?

Cameron warns of witch hunt

"Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Cameron?
If you think we're on the run,
We are the boys who will stop your little game.
We are the boys who will make you think again.
'Cus who do you think you are kidding Mr. Cameron?
If you think old England's done?

Mr. Brown goes off to town
On the 8:21.
But he comes home each evening
And he's ready with his gun.

So watch out Mr. Cameron
You have met your match in us.
If you think you can push us
We're afraid you've missed the bus.

so who do you think you are kidding Mr. Cameron?
If you think old England's done.

You do wonder then is the investigations getting to close to some of
his associates in Government and their sweating under their collars.

Yep, & if that turns out to be the case, will it be covered up?

So Del-boy had better....

"On the farm, ev'ry Friday
On the farm, it's rabbit pie day
So ev'ry Friday that ever comes along
I get up early and sing this little song...

Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Bang, bang, bang, bang! goes the farmer's gun
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run, run

Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Don't give the farmer his fun, fun, fun
He'll get by without his rabbit pie
So run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run


Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Bang, bang, bang, bang! goes the farmer's gun
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run, run

Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run
Don't give the farmer his fun, fun, fun
He'll get by without his rabbit pie
So run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run"

There may be a chance that Cameron feels the investigations may be touching
on very innocent people. I haven't heard of this situation so far, but
this whole shebang needs an utter routing even if the not guilty get dragged
in to the affray....it's the only way.

The problem here though Nick is "WHO" will be doing the investigating?

As the North Wales care homes scandal has highlighted: - Police, Judges, Solicitors, MP's - How do we know that those investigating these issues are not of the same bent?

Edit: I'm wondering if William Hague had any inkling of this & if he did, why didn't he act on it?

You can't know for sure but on this occasion one would have expected that
the "Security" chaps would have supplied any information about these
investigators that may have bought their integrity into question....we can
only hope....I expect the "Minister" may have a line to put on this.

Is that a fact? Then please explain why you're not scolding a very dear freind of yours who has been residing in the US for 1/2/3 decades & showing a German flag? No faith in America prehaps? If so, why reside there?

Ah, better $$$$$$$$$.

From the mouth of babes......

BBC got it wrong, says DG

"John Whittingdale: "There's been a failure of management at every level""

"Meanwhile, Culture Secretary Maria Miller said: "I have been clear that the BBC Trust needs to get to the bottom, and quickly, of what has gone wrong at the corporation." So, if they don't can we have a refund of our licence?

"Kevin Marsh, a former editor of the Today programme, said Mr Entwistle did not give the impression of "a man who is absolutely in charge of everything". So privatise it!

4 things come to mind.....

It does seem that the BBC is in significantly more trouble than I realised or foresaw. That is a lose/lose situation for everybody.


Now that I was not expecting. The problem with the BBC is not the organisation itself but the people in it, for example, Schofield was way out of line.

Unfortunately, there are too many with that attitude within the BBC, which is why I titled the thread that way.

Personally, i see the BBC as a grand old Dame of broadcasting with its achievements something to be proud of.

However, in the 21st century & it's current attitude - it's time for it to go - Unless someone comes in & shakes the damn tree loose!

Agree, but salvage? With all this going on? Doubt it as there will be too many recriminations occurring & possibly some high profile court cases!

Will Sally Bercow be sued?

Incompetents & Cowards cost DG his job

Skewered by his own side

Lord Patton says "We must get a grop" but won't stand down

Saville's former producer arrested then bailed

What is the B.I.J?

Schofield was way out of line.


That was ITV a "private company"

Perhaps the BBC should stick to just "Reporting" the news not making it.

True, but wasn't it the BBC that gave him his "big" opportunity?

He more than likely used it as a dig against the BBC, in other words, jumping on the bandwagon!

The BBC, a totally dysfunctional institution without any true leadership. Lord Patton
looks dead on his feet as head of a Trust without portfolio. Is the BBC a
serious broadcasting organisation or just a fee-sucking licensed quango?
The only way to sort this organisation/quango out is to fold it up and rebuild
it all over again, virtually from scratch.
