Good show !!! Nice to see some Brits retain a vestigial spine.

Probably best to take off, and nuke the site from orbit.

Its the only way to be sure.

I'm sorry, you misunderstand me. I meant in the UK. Clinton isn't a factor or any real matter of interest in the UK.

Actually, I knew what you meant...it was ME that made the confusing post. :)

I was just trying to make a point. The fact that the BBC has 'double-digit' figures for being TOTALLY TRUSTED, even after this whole "sexed up" disaster, just tells me that over 10% of the people are willing to selectively ignore facts when their beliefs are challenged.

It's akin to a mother who refuses to believe that her son is a murderer or rapist even when her son confesses to it.

The BBC obviously has this same effect on 'double digit' percentage of the UK population as demonstrated by this Telegraph poll.

When I first started reading the polls and articles from UK on support of Blair and Bush I was very puzzled. So anti and not what I would have expected. A steady diet of brainwashing must be the answer.

The BBC should be delinked from the government and have to survive hand to mouth as PBS does in this coutry. Now it is the mouthpiece of the left-wing in Britain.

- Being caught in possession of a television without a current licence will result in a substantial fine.

There was a great "Young Ones" episode about this..."BOMB"

"A potentially explosive situation erupts when a bomb falls on the house .... But worse ! The TV licence man calls."
