RBS board to quit if chancellor vetoes £1.5bn in bonuses 7:10pm on 02 Dec 2009 6bn PROFIT - How can they make a profit when they had to borrow 25bn. Put the 6bn towards paying us back the 25bn. When they reach zero borrowings they can have a profit again and then they can have their bonuses. Until then, they made a loss.
Making the new BBC Weather site 8:49pm on 21 May 2009 I am sure it was all excellently organised - but the old site had useful things like wind speed and direction and isobars - for the Atlantic as well as locally. It has all disappeared on this site.

I like the time bar across the bottom - the site represents rain pretty well - but when is the rest arriving. Why go live with a site that is only half finished - at least - I hope that it is only half finished.
The spectre of the paedophile 6:57pm on 27 Jun 2008 MudPlugga wrote:- There are other people responding to this topic that are also suspected of being sympathetic to the cause of paedophilia.

Do you mean me? This smear amounts to a threat - speak against MudPlugga's view and you will be considered a paedophile.

And what does MudPlugga then do - makes a series of statements that say nothing. Research that is consistent can be consistently wrong. "Accurate as possible" is like a sale sign "up to 50% off". Facts that speak for themselves - maybe but there are none here to say anything.

And the emotive language - "survivors" - why not just say "people who were abused as a child".

Yes - some children are seriously abused and I will help you hang those abusers.

But stop following policies that spoil life for the innocent- both children and adults. Use a sniper's rifle - not a scatter gun. Stop using statistics without the detail needed to get meaning out of them, If you have facts - give me facts - but don't ask me to respond to meaningless spin.
The spectre of the paedophile 8:35pm on 26 Jun 2008 I worry that we misuse statistics. Are we really saying here that a million children are being raped regularly in Britain? I find that very hard to believe.
When I was a schoolboy, I had a teacher who would put his arm around me and tickle my ribs. I did not and do not think this is abuse to worry about - but I worry that many might today.
My children were toddlers when those doctors up north (Higgs?) had 100s of children taken into care on a false diagnosis. I stopped helping bath my children in case somebody counted that as abuse and took my children away. When other people's children fall over outside on our road, I do not go to help in case their parents think I am harming the child.
I think that people who rape children or hurt them seriously should be cured or punished hard - but the price of Mark Easton's statistics is high. We should be sure we understand them properly before we succeed in doing more damage than good.
