    It’s funny that the supposed champions of choice always want to kill public services

    It’s as though they don’t see the point in any choice that doesn’t make them a profit!

    No one wastes their time debating whether any of the major news corporations are left or right biased because we all know what they are

    The BBC actually tries to be unbiased but is asked to achieve some perfect and utterly unachievable standard that satisfies left right and centre

    You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

    A word just for CBBC: even outside of the current situation, there is no broadcaster or service anywhere on the planet which provides the representation that they do with their programming. I’ve used their shows with SEN kids on three continents now and there’s always an amazement at seeing kids with specific and pronounced physical and learning needs on almost every show. Plus there’s the ones who teach Makaton for children and adults. I’d give them £11 a month for life if only for those moments.

    Trump’s response to the BLM stuff in July, that people attacking or vandalising public buildings can get ten years - well, that just came back to bite them...

    I think there is at least one person on here, with connections to the music industry.

    Excellent! Hope more parents do it. The man is a disgrace (which is why he fits in well with the current government)

    This needs to be widely distributed especially to all professional musicians. Another big fat lie from Spaffer Johnson

    The only thing i have to say is more fool that guy.

    Fool me one shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Boris has only gone and lied about a million times before and shown zero trustworthyness. Shame on the bloke but everyone falling for him are just stupid (i don't think everyone voting for tories are boris fans and will have other reasons for voting tories)

    Yeah, been talking a lot about this today. It’s beyond a disgrace.

    If anyone is stuck for something to do today, and is concerned about the Beeb and any bias - my wife is interviewing Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie, at 13:00 today on this (and I'll make sure she asks some questions about it!) It's a conference she's organised and has some great guests if you fancy it (including Justin Trudeau, Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg, Tim Berners-Lee and Google CEO Sundar Pichai). Free to watch (though you have to register).

    Some background info on EU use. Edit, this isn't by any means justification for the introduction of bee poison rather how some EU states use it.
