Nick Griffin on Question Time 11:32am on 24 Oct 2009 After much watching, then reading, then thinking I have reached the conclusion that the elephant is now out of the room and rampaging down our streets.

Imv, I believe we are going to find the can of worms, the nasties in the woodshed and all the other cliches of doom exposing our darker sides over the next few months culminating in an election result exposing us for what we are.

I blame Westminster, a cesspit of mediocrity without a leader amongst them. Imv, the BBC has merely exposed a side of our psyche which as a nation we have been afraid to face - least of all our useless MP's who's snouts have been buried in the trough.

Hold onto your seats.
Injunctions and super-injunctions 09:32am on 16 Oct 2009 Imv, the law should not be left to the lawyers.

Stick with it BBC. Use my licence fee to help with legal fees. Now there's a topic rife for public investigation.
Updated editorial guidelines 10:13am on 10 Oct 2009 I have been concerned for some time that the political bias of interviewers has become more apparent and brazen bringing impartiality of some 'chair people' into considerable doubt.

Indeed, it has now become an intergral part of any watching/listening process to any C/A or social programme to know where the anchor person is coming from.

I am in the position now of being able to guess most of them.
An important story 10:20am on 02 Oct 2009 Imv, we are seeing the repositioning of the major participants in anticipation of the epilogue to the whole, messy debacle.

Bush and Blair have still to be brought to account

Oh, come on. I am very much on topic.

The first rule of journalism is to check your source. Who is saying or doing what?

I simply used this as a personal anecdote. Sorry you missed this.

Now here's an interesting point.

I contribute as "Walrus." But my comments on The Editors' blog are always published as "You".

I have complained about this time and time again but no one takes a blind bit of notice.

My point is, that even on an Editor's blog, the system cannot get the source right.

"At 11:48am on 18 Sep 2009, you wrote:"

Sorry. You did not write. Walrus did. As different as chalk and cheese.

So even your first alleged fact is wrong. Could be important, Mr Editor.

And Mr Moderator? What's the point?

Yours,

WALRUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New resource for citizen journalists 11:48am on 18 Sep 2009 I suppose if the BBC is to harness this rich vein of instant, FREE news, then it must organise it to fit in with its particular requirements. So, ground rules and editors.

In imposing both, the BBC is destroying - or about to destroy- a spontaneous upsurge of contributions to the common interest.

Much better there be one maxim. Let the lawyer's word be final. All imv.
Lehman collapse: One year on 12:00pm on 09 Sep 2009 Thanks for that, DuellistOrigins. I usually am signed in.
But i will follow your suggestion and sign out and in again.
It's only important in that the system is not working - well for me - and I would like to know how it computes 'me' as 'you'.

Very best wishes.
Lehman collapse: One year on 12:28pm on 07 Sep 2009 Why do you always attribute my comments to "you" and not my nickname "walrus"?

It is getting tiresome.
