It is vital that key parts of the national infrastructure remain in public ownership.
What will happen to this country if Gogglebox and Naked Attraction fall in to the wrong hands?
🤣 I watched the “attraction” for the first time in my life and couldn’t believe my eyes. I switched channel after 10 mins. It’s hard to believe how other people just wanted it so badly to be on tele. graziadaily.co.uk/celebrity/news/naked-attraction-pay/Not sure how StudioLambert kept it running for years.

Well, that was good a bit of well meaning liberal propaganda. Â Thank you for such a considered, well-reasoned, and soundly explained response.

michaelc fwiw I had a drink last week with a young Russian woman. The daughter of a recently retired Russian general. You'd think that if anybody was going to have a balanced, nuanced understanding of what's going on she would. Or at least a perspective that was somewhat receptive to Russia's Putin's outlook. She's horrified, and disgusted, by what Russia is doing in Ukraine. And she and her father no longer talk, and likely will not ever again. You can hate on the BBC all you like, but it is to accuracy what RT is to falsehood.

I'd heard similar of a conscript who was captured by Ukrainian troops, they arranged for him to contact his parents to let them know he was alive, basically his mother said he was a coward to be captured, and that she would be disgraced by having such a weakling child, and she ended the call by saying she no longer had a son.
that is the sort of attitude we are up against

R4 had coverage from the Donbass this morning. Amongst other people, they talked to a couple of older ladies in a bomb shelter. Both were Ostalgie types, fondly remembering the USSR - and both blamed Zelensky for Putin having to come to their rescue, because he'd sold the Donbass to the US to house nuclear missiles pointed at Moscow. Anyway, going back to C4... Let's take a moment to remember Nadger's finest hour on the subject. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh_GEr5QaMwNo, that was ITV... No, I meant not having the first clue how it was funded, just last November, whilst in direct charge of it.... fullfact.org/economy/nadine-dorries-channel-4/...but had already decided she wanted to privatise it. Based on incorrect assumptions, inaccurate knowledge, and inadequate understanding.

Channel 4's significant left-wing bias definitely needs to be addressed and dealt with after all these decades.
To give just one example, with Channel 4 News, I can't even begin to recall just how many news items I have seen about hard-done-by tenants and tenants' rights, all insinuating or blatantly asserting that landlords are generally rogues, but can't remember watching a single news story about how landlords are often taken for a ride by tenants and the plethora of challenges of being a modern landlord.
Channel 4 and the BBC are to socialism what Fox News is to rabid conservatism and the P2P Finance News website is to their paymasters, the P2P platforms, and they should be made to show impartiality in their coverage.

No idea how she succeed in her political career. I understand people in her constituent would vote the red party regardless. But why her? 🤦‍♂️ Meh. Who cares, really? She's just one of a bunch of third-raters in utterly safe seats, on both sides of the house. I wonder if she would be half the bogeyman she seems to be if she was a white man...? There's absolutely no shortage of incompetent white men in parliament... Unlike many of them, though, she's never going to actually hold high office.

The radio doesn't discriminate and she still came across as an idiot. As for high office, she was Shadow Home Sec and, in a parallel universe somewhere, probably landed the main gig... <shudder>
