I just got in, put the telly on to see what's happening about the Mr

What I saw whas a recorded programme about parliament. Put Sky on,
live coverage, people on the ground, instant updates.

I'm so sad.

The Sky news reporters had very little information to give. They kept
repeating themselves. The BBC recognised that there were other things
happening in the world.

This was at the moment when it was all happening with Mr Moat. It's a
news story of great interest and for the BBC to run a recorded
parliamentary debate at that moment was ridiculous.

Well I can't help thinking that the actions of parliament that may well
affect us all a great deal matters rather more than sitting in front of the
telly just to wait and wait and wait to see if a hunted deranged bloke will
die or be locked up. I'm sure, though, that many agree with you and prefer
'bread and circuses'. Hardly surprising that that nice Mr Murdoch should
give you what he did. Suits him, no doubt, that you and others find it
"interesting". :-)

Mind you, I find even non-lethal spectator sports as boring as watching
pain dry.

Slainte,

Jim
