The Mighty D 5:25pm on 22 Aug 2008 Let's ease up on the grief about Monty!

I will be tuning in to gardener's world in September for the first time for a long time! I found Monty's manner off putting, and hated the way he was dismissive of other presenters. I am sorry he is ill, but glad to have a new presenter
Sobering thoughts 1:29pm on 16 Jun 2008 Many people with undiagnosed or untreated mental health problems will self-medicate on street drugs, tobacco and alcohol.

The priority is to change public perceptions of mental illness and seek earlier interventions and support for those who suffer.
Not ticking boxes 04:44am on 13 Jun 2008 On 13 June, U9461192 wrote 'Engaging in conversation with a nationalist is like arguing with a pre-menstrual woman spoiling for a fight.'

I complained about this comment on the grounds of sexism and harassment of women. Both complaints were rejected by the moderator.

I find this unacceptable. These blogs should not incite sexist hatred.
Not ticking boxes 04:11am on 13 Jun 2008 I do not belive we should make significant change to BBC news output. The main thing is to accurately reflect the news, especially where this contains statistics. If only this were emulated by the rest of the media.

So, for example, on 10 June, the BBc reported 'Almost one in five secondary schools in England have been given a "no excuses" warning to improve their GCSE exam results or face closure. ' whereas the Guardian reported, 'Ed Balls, the schools secretary, will reveal today that up to 270 schools will be closed in the next three years for underperformance and replaced with academies and a new generation of trust schools.' The BBC accurately reported that this concerned English schools, while the Guardian made it sound as though it were British schools.
