  Hello Eloise Twisk (tonights editor).
  
  I like your name because it sounds like a characture out of a Charles Dickens novel a bit like...Martin Chizzlenut...Nuzzlechit...Wizzlechut...but not like...Count Arther Strong...

  Eddie, I thought your interview with the friend of Edward Kennedy was conducted with due respect and reverence for the situation. I appreciate that and thank you for it.
  
  I do appreciate the way in which you sensitively handle guests when it it called for. It adds to good journalism.
  
  Regards

  Isn't it surprising that the police kettle a few hundred non-violent climate protesters, but can't do the same with a pub full of football louts. Is it that they don't have the bottle for taking on a gang of thugs, but can get stuck in with a crowd of mostly middle-class young people of both sexes with no experience of or ability for violence?
  
  How come the police stood by and watched [probably videoing it] as the violence escalated and ended in a stabbing, without doing anything? Perhaps it's the IQ difference; the football thugs are uneducated working class like the police, the climate protesters tend to be quite a lot cleverer, so clearly to be feared.

  Ivisible;
  
  I remember the same complaint with 'peace lovin''hippies during the sixties and seventies. It seemed then, if you were a unruly football thug, you were just a training exercise on a Saturday afternoon for the fuzz. Like you say, the thugs didn't have the brains to be anything else. If you were perceived as a threat to the system (like peaceful hippies and climate protestors), woe betide you.

  L-L 12, But Eddie has been watching too many American police programs. He keeps saying, "Sorry for your loss."

  What went wrong with Big Brother was the change of rules mid-programme. When they moved away from the intitial 10 or however many being bought in at the start, they started to add others, and that was when it lost it's way.
  
  If they had stuck to the premise that 10 went in and 10 were voted out, perhaps it would have survived. The idea that whenever one went another stepped in, and the lengthend season, lost the impact of BB.

  Never mind. There'll be plenty when the Speculative Bubble on the FTSE resumes its inflationary expansion.

  Thanks #10, you're not the first person to make the Charles Dickens comment about my name. I had the chance to change it when I got married, but you know after 30 odd years (ahem) you get used to it. The surname is actually Dutch, and some more flamboyant parts of our family go by Van Twisk. Now that would be too much, I'm sure you'll agree!
  Anyway, glad people like the interview with Lester Hyman, friend of Ted Kennedy. We thought he was refreshingly honest and didn't shy away from talking about the 'dark' side of Kennedy's life.
  #19 - I think Nils is building up to something on the FTSE soon -- especially as we may hit the "psychologically important" 5000 mark this week. PS I've cracked and I'm back on the caffeine. NOT Eddie's fault.

  Looby (12) I agree - that interview was the only bit of the programme I heard in any detail yesterday but I thought it was really well handled.
