Re your comment ...This is indeed a very sad story.<br /><br />Re your comment about the transparency issue, it's a sad reflection that I get almost all my news from the net now, and hardly any from the BBC. The latter is substituted by excellent commenters (most of them anyway), on the Biased BBC site, as they tear into the real debate and I can happily ignore the dross we're fed for thirty-something quid every three months.Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.com
