Good luck Hamster. and good luck to all of the small shops that make a living out of supplying us with a small bit of pleasure. WEell done to our government for putting more people out of business.

If you were running the country Verbal you would name it after yourself.

I disagree I think the coalition keeps the Torys in check when it comes to cuts. As it happens the AV referendum will probably be fought based on the cost of it and what a waste of money in these difficult times.

He should be allowed to speak out. That is a very sacred value.

Embarrasing stuff from the Tories. I wish Cameron had a sense of humour like Berlusconi.

The story is true. My brother met a Canadian who said it was his Grandfather who did it.

Ahh thats why manufacturing went to Asia.

Insightful and constructive observations. The left always seem to start with an insult.

So here it is Harry Redknapp everybody's feeling fine..... sang when we played Boro before Xmas in his first home game.

I think history wil judge Brown better than we do. I think he acted comeptently when we faced global meltdown. I think he did have a moral compass but that an obsession with power got the better of him and he became something awful in his latter days.

I remember when Terry Phelan was injured in the World Cup 1994 I think, the Irish sang 'wev'e lost that Terry Phelan' (instead of loving feeling) Made me laugh anyway.

Red Kites don't do too much damage as far as I know. The explosion in buzzards has hit the Hare poulation hard as they kill the leverets. The grey partridge is pretty doomed as well. I would not let my terrier off the lead in Old Basing at the moment.

You will be talking about a Red Kite. If you saw a sea eagle you would know!

If it is a genuine wild one that is very exciting. The only problem is that unless I am not much mistaken it is a sea eagle. Odd choice to go to Basingstoke.

I thought you were a real Mastermind contender Verbal but I think you would struggle to get the questions right on Bullseye. Greg Dyke has stood for and is a long term donor to the Labour party - and because he advises the Tory's you think he has somehow been converted. Do you understand the concept of institutionalised leftism. Sadly not it seems. My last comment on this topic.

Greg Dyke is not a Tory. He is a Labour Luvvie through and through just got a bit upset about the Iraq war and switched to Lib dems in 2005 election. He donated and even stood for the Labour party. I am bored of this debate but my last comment is simply that the BBC is institutionally left wing. You are rather naive if you do not believe this to be the case.

I am afraid I do not read the Guardian Verbal; it is for lefties and surprisingly where the BBC does almost al of its recruitment. Nice try though. Still no comment on what the quotes say about the BBC? Are they made up? Do speak....

Very good at asking questions not so good at answering them. Back to those quotes, talk me through them and what they say about the culture at the Beeb. Maybe then you may understand why many suggest the BBC has a left wing bias.

I really cannot present my argument more clearly. Read the quotes and maybe comment on what it means for the tone of the news coverage (is the news not a programme)

I was going to ask 'you to be a phone a friend' when I get on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire but for all those long prentious words you are not as bright as you portray yourself. It is quite a straight forward argument; do you just not get it? Here goes then (can you tell me which quotes are wrongly attributed? It's not a conspiracy. It's visceral (Verbal makes mental note to use this word in future postings) They think they are on the middle ground", Jeff Randall former BBC Business Editor, in The Observer, Jan 15th, 2006 "The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It's a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people. It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias", Andrew Marr "I do remember... the corridors of Broadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles. I'll always remember that" Jane Garvey "We need to foster peculiarity, idiosyncrasy, stubborn-mindedness, left-of-centre thinking." Ben Stephenson BBC Drama Commissioning Controller Peter Sissons says left-wing bias and political correctness is 'written through the BBC's very DNA' Is this straight forwa\rd enough for you. You can revert to being rude to me again now.

'the predatory, malign influence of Murdoch' etc etc - who's the foamer? I think Verbal you are struggling to understand the nature of the debate on BBC bias. I assume as you have refused to state which of the quotes attributed to the likes of Andrew Marr, Jane Garvey, Peter Sissons or Paxman are made up that you accept them to be true? In which case they acknowledge that there is a liberal left wing bias in the very culture of the organisation. It is this subtle bias that underpins much of the news coverage we receive. It is not so black and white as to be identifiable in programmes

Goodness who got us onto this private education theme?

I can promise you that it is possible.
