If you were an old **** like me you would know they were Tories especially Neil.Nick Robinson is another one and Lord Patten but of course the BBC is full of lefties
Yeah it looks like the tories are trying to further curb any form of independent reporting at the BBC or any form of neutrality, as they are again cracking down on them in preparation for the European Referendum. It's laughable, one of the only news outlets that's in any way impartial, and because it doesn't toe the Tory line like Sky, The Times, The Telegraph, The Sun, The People, Channel 5, Daily Express, Daily Mail & the Metro do, then they get attacked for being lefties and for undermining the government. That's a laugh they haven't been allowed to attack any government since stating that the war on Iraq was illegal.
Don't forget many Labour supporters have held positions in the BBC. Andrew Marr is married to Guardian journalist Jackie Ashley who's father was the Labour MP Jack Ashley. There was a great furore from the right when Marr became the BBC's political editor
And the class divide will continue to increase. This is just narrow minded, greedy capitalistic ideology, F the poor. Putting aside the general decency of helping those worse off, what about all the talented poorer lot who simply can't afford to go to higher education? Surely this deprive the nation of the very best talent from the poorer section of society? This is madness.
I remember when Neil used to be the Daily Mail's political editor. He was responsible for pushing that **** rag and their hard line right wing view. As for Paxman, he's the worst kept Tory toff secret ever
A very sad story, one I wasn't aware of. I remember the player though http://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/mar/17/sport.comment
From the hero of one of the greatest nights in Arsenal's history to such a pointless and tragic death,such a shame
That is really harsh and depressing. Such a shame, but I suppose it shows just how hard depression can hit you.
Yes, it was 14 years ago. It was news to me though. You'd think getting a contract at a top club would be the end of your struggles. To lose it so quickly must be devastating. And sad it was against us that his injury occurred.
I suppose with more pressure and promise to fulfill then the hard depression might hit if you start going down hill. One of the French rugby players, Basteraud, who is one of the best centres in Europe, recently revealed that he'd attempted suicide because he felt he wasn't that good, and all the criticism of the fans/press got to him. Personally I don't think depression has anything to do with fact - like your actual status/skills or how many people care for you/what they think of you. It's all about the negativity in your mind, which everyone has - but you slowly lose the ability to fight it with positivity. I could be speaking balls, but just how it seems to me. That's why you get high performers and outwardly positive/loud/confident people suffer from it...
I think you are dead right, I thought that as I wrote my comment. If you have a predisposition towards depression, losing a fabulous career through injury will possibly push you down hill. But you are right, without that trigger in you, this in itself wont cause depression.
Everyone knows Claude right? Apparently he was going on about committing suicide earlier tonight, lot's of people rallying around him on Twitter.
Impressive protests today in London, between 75k-150k of people, but with reports there may be as many as 250k protesting against the unethical, unjustifiable and unnecessary cuts targeted on the poor, weak and vulnerable! I wish I was there, but had to pull out last minute
