Which is temporarily cheering - dependent on who the BBC <i>do</i> employ. After all, their record of appointing neocons speaks for itself.<br /><br />Tim's petition only existed for a few days and scarcely got wide coverage. Given the circumstances it did creditably. That the execrable Newton Done even got mentioned for a post tells you all you need to know of the BBC News "standards,"<br /><br />As for him being "happy" at the <i>Scum</i>......Well, he fits right in with the disgusting rag.

Your petition has just over 700 signatories (200 or so short of its target) and there's no evidence that it influenced the BBC anyway. I think this is an example of post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacious thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
