Obviously it had never occurred to him that it might be possible that crime was falling because the prison population was rising.<BR/><BR/>As for Europe, Rod Liddle has noted how one senior BBC person said re. Lord Pearson of Rannoch (who argues for withdrawal from the EU) 'You realise he's quite mad, don't you?' I don't, personally, want withdrawal from the EU (just to stay out of the Single Currency and Constitution), but to question the mental health of those who do is disgraceful.<BR/><BR/>Then, of course, there were the two News 24 presenters who fatuously commented to each other that the Single Currency was good because it meant you wouldn't have to change your money into different currencies on holiday. Never mind all the poor people who, during our ERM membership, couldn't afford a holiday because they'd lost their homes or jobs (or even both) thanks to the fact that we couldn't set interest rates to meet our own needs. <BR/><BR/>There is also someone else's account of how everyone they met at the BBC read either the Guardian or the Independent. Rather as Mark Steel once proposed to solve religious conflict by making people change their religion every week, maybe all employees at the BBC should be forced to read a different newspaper every week. It may just go some way towards challenging a liberal left mindset which, rather than disagreeing with views divergent from its own, half the time just isn't aware any even exist. They may just even consider such heresies as 'If so many people in prison are illiterate, might it not be a good idea to reduce illiteracy by embracing synthetic phonics?' or 'Is selection by academic ability really less progressive than selection by chequebook or selection by religion?' <BR/><BR/>Going back to the topic heading, remembering how Thatcher did Churchill's v-sign the wrong way after the Woolwich West by-election in 75, how about a two-fingered gesture?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1150140490578400082006-06-12T20:28:00.000+01:002006-06-12T20:28:00.000+01:00IainWhat's your take on this?http://news.bbc.co.uk...Iain<BR/><BR/><BR/>What's your take on this?<BR/><BR/>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5071386.stmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1150140287735258772006-06-12T20:24:00.000+01:002006-06-12T20:24:00.000+01:00In keeping with the modern consensual politics of ...In keeping with the modern consensual politics of the time; how about a big blue Millenium Dome?Gregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340255827027232475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1150139548958111832006-06-12T20:12:00.000+01:002006-06-12T20:12:00.000+01:00How about something truthful for a slogan?In Europ...How about something truthful for a slogan?<BR/>In Europe, Run by Europe and at the very rotten heart of Europe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1150139172411695782006-06-12T20:06:00.000+01:002006-06-12T20:06:00.000+01:00It's really very simple, witty, and annoying to th...It's really very simple, witty, and annoying to the Labour Party.
