David Cameron would at least like a chance of being PM.<BR/><BR/>The BBC has every reason to believe it can activly influence not only public opinion but also the outcome of democratic elections, and most importantly what any British government does in power. <BR/><BR/>The BBCs pubic funding has prevailed when many many other industries public funding has not. Such is the power of the television media.<BR/><BR/>The BBC is commited to the preservation of any type of authoritarian socialist government, Labour Lib/Dem or even Tory.<BR/><BR/>The BBCs now obvious anti-free market bias, indicates to me the BBC believes it is fighting for its very exsistance. Letts hope this is so, and they lose soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1156550968339320032006-08-26T01:09:00.000+01:002006-08-26T01:09:00.000+01:00Anyone else think Rawnsley appears to have aged 10...Anyone else think Rawnsley appears to have aged 10 years over the past 2?Peter from Putneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133613985279722397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1156544399445665372006-08-25T23:19:00.000+01:002006-08-25T23:19:00.000+01:00I am not sure about Catherwood but I think Rawnsle...I am not sure about Catherwood but I think Rawnsley is left leaning.<BR/><BR/>When ARE we going to get some right wing balance on the BBC.

HIs daughter was at University with me, and all I can remeber about her was that she liked a drink and had the most amazing singing voice.<BR/><BR/>What was his name people?????
