The real debate has scarcely begun 4:47pm on 10 Nov 2009 Want to know why people are apathetic to politics? ..... this letter non story is a prime example, the headline 'Man with poor sight writes badly' .... just doesn't pan out well as a political hot potato does it? Dick Cheney had the right idea, get a machine to write the lot!
Alternative uses for cracked BMW alloys: update 8:15pm on 05 Nov 2009 Have not BMW alloys been doing this for several years i.e an old story?
Spurs learn silence is golden 08:40am on 01 Nov 2009 And this highly anticipated game, the media having previous games plastered all over their websites and in print all week, was still behind the Portsmouth game on MOTD! Is it Lineker?
Changes to BBC Sport on the red button 09:14am on 24 Oct 2009 'Its digital its better' ...... no it isn't! I have not bothered with digital Ceefax for years now, its just 'slow', and the best bit about the digital platform was the red button, and now that's being eroded. And just how many people realize that all of their present set top boxes are 'HD' redundant and they need new ones?
Anxious F1 waits for president Todt to show colours 5:08pm on 23 Oct 2009 Well i thought the 'F' stood for Ferrari for several years, so now its official!
General gimmick? 10:38pm on 07 Oct 2009 'Forces of conservatism' as its known, starts with private education then follows a top civil service job and ends with a Tory peerage.
Tories bash the rich 03:48am on 07 Oct 2009 "But if a newly recruited boss of Royal Mail, or the BBC or the Bank of England were paid less than £200,000 a year, surely all his or her more junior colleagues would also have to see their pay slashed?"

They will just make it up in bonus, £3 million for the Royal Mail boss a while back, a good years work though!
What happened at Royal Mail was effectively a coup de gras on civil servant pay levels, Asda man Alan Leighton introduced as chairman the concept of 'outside' pay levels as per the Blue Chip companies and every senior role since CEO Adam Crozier arrived has had 'lottery' pay ever since, for a declining service! When i was on £15k the CEO of Royal Mail was on £70k, now i am on £30k his role now rewards itself £1 million!! Nice work if you can get it.
Tories bash the rich 03:33am on 07 Oct 2009 It was Tory fiscal policies that got us in this mess in the first place so i hardly expect them to get us out if it.
Revealed: The minister who 'wasted' millions 5:21pm on 30 Sep 2009 With the Tories about to take over the BBC i suppose a bit of brown nosing now may pay dividends later! The real 'reporting' is over the issue regarding 'its another American policy idea', why cant we have successful ideas from Europe? Its European nations at the top of all 'well being' charts, not America. Investigative journalism is a bit difficult and expensive though.
'Labour's lost it,' says the Sun 08:10am on 30 Sep 2009 Can we join the Euro now?
