Tom Mills wrote a book about the BBC that discusses it called The BBC: The Myth of a Public Service. Would definitely recommend it. Room 101's a real thing, at least it was, a permanent office in Broadcasting house for MI5 vetting. Some poor sod couldn't understand why producers kept offering him jobs only to be told later that the position had been taken. It took 20/30 years before he found out it was due to faulty records, or willfully misinterpreted . He was briefly picked up in Holland because he looked a bit like one of the beardy Bader Meinhoff guys on a poster. Proved who he was and was let go.

pandarilla Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 There's lots wrong about Wikileaks but it's incredibly useful for quick information so long as you take it with a pinch of salt before checking sources. I thought there would have been a more rigorous arbitration process to weed out the likes of Cross/Kamm. If someone tells a blatant lie about you it's supposed be very difficult to get it removed as you aren't allowed to edit or comment on your own page. Yeah I'm still going to use it...obviously.Unless anyone has any other free encyclopaedia sites that are a bit less riddled with right wingness? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they won’t be facts but just my opinion; however post Trump that seems to be acceptable. #alternativefacts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised in the slightest. You'd have to be daft to think that doesn't go on. Marr is just an establishment lackey he's not a journalist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye fair enough then - couldn't see it on The Guardian or BBC last night. A snap election would be the last thing that the Tories want at this stage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer them and EU citizens indefinite leave to remain in the event of Indy and you might get it across the line/piss off a few racists in the process, that would be a wondrous sight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
